N97 does not power on at all - only blue light sho...

Hi all,
purchased a used N97 the other day, which according to the seller had sustained a virus when opening an email. He told me it wouldn't power on, I was hoping it could be solved with hard reset and took the plunge, but unfortunately no luck.
Symptoms:
* When the charger is connected, the blue light on the upper right corner of the phone lights up
* When I push the power on button, the blue light on the upper right corner of the phone lights up
* When I try to hard reset..... take a wild guess.... aye, the blue light on the upper right corner of the phone lights up
Now I'm not sure whether the guy spoke the truth about the virus, he might as well have been attempting to flash the firmware or whatsoever. My question is if anybody recognises the phenomenon, and if there's a cure or possible suggestion of how to problem solve this error?
Cheers

You're probably right that it's a fake - had a closer look last night and saw that for one the LCD isn't the size it's supposed to be either:
Measured diagonally the screen is 2.95", not 3.5". It's apparently a clone, although I haven't managed to find anything resembling it on eBay or google - the known clones only have 2Gb, this one does have 32Gb according to lettering on the mechanism under the front lid when it slides open. Might add that it feels sturdy and all, so it's at least a half-decent clone (albeit broken )
Trying to get my money back but seller insists it's original. Luckily I didn't pay a lot for it and it seems I can at least use the battery in my current E90. Let's hope that's a good quality fake battery at least
Thanks for the reply and feedback!

Touchsmart IQ504 - does not power up AT ALL

Hello there,
The company I work for has multiple Touchsmart computers we use. One of them is not powering on for whatever reason. I've swapped out the power board with another known working one. It still doesn't power. I'm talking the board itself, no lights, no fans, nothing comes on. I've tried multiple power supplies and still cannot get it to boot up. Unfortunately, the computer is out-of-warranty (of course, lol).
I was simply wondering if anyone else had any suggestions to try, or ever had a similar problem. The only other thing I could think of would be using a multimeter to see if there's any electricity flowing over the MB, which would indicate right away if it was a cable issue or something else.
Thanks in advance!

Hello J-Sing. I understand you're having some trouble getting a Touchsmart to boot.
You've replaced the power board and tried multiple power supplies. Those would be the first two things I checked. The fact that nothing happens (no fans or lights at all) indicates to me it is an overall power issue. If you are comfortable with a multimeter I recommend using that to find out if the motherboard is even getting power. Another possibility is the RAM isn't seated properly but that normally causes the computer to shut off randomly rather than not power at all.
Let me know the result; I'll keep an eye out for your reply. I hope you have a great day.

Hi All, my macBook does not power on at all. How can I rectify this problem? Many thanks.

Hello,
Can anyone please assist me with this problem?
Forever grateful

Dorothyfromok,
Yes. Make a Genius Bar appointment.
In the mean time try two things:
Hold down the power button for 10 seconds. Then try powering it up normally.
Try an SMC reset.

If Apple says your logic board is stone dead then extract the hard disk from it before giving it a burial. Place the hard disk in an external USB enclosure. You can recover you data from it that way.

Ipad3 does not power on

My iPAD 3 was working yesterday. I set it down, picked it up later and the screen was completely blank so I left it on the charger overnight. No charge picture showed on the screen and the next morning after being on the charger all night it does not power on at all.
Any suggestions or ideas?

Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to power up ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear - it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Windows 7 does not power off properly with bitlocker enabled

Hi
I've got an X200T and installed W7 Enterprise. Things are mostly working fine but i ran into a problem with bitlocker.
When shutting down, the shutdown process but does not power off my laptop battery: bluetooth light stays on, fan stays on, hardrive stay on.
the funny thing is if i force the complete shutdown by pressing the ON/OFF button for several seconds, the next startup run smoothly, the system does not detect any wrong shutdown.
i found a threat relative to this problem elsewhere but nothing on this forum.
i'm wondering if any of yours are able to run W7 enterprise 32bits + X200T + bitlocker without any problem
Let me know
cheers

Hi,
I can not tell you about a correlation between your problem and Bitlocker, but what I can tell is that I also have this issue (from time to time - my system is seldom shut down ^^) on my machine, which is a T400, without using Bitlocker. So maybe this is a BIOS defect, as I don't remember this happening before BIOS version 3.
OSs under which this happened are Vista x64 and Win7 x64.
Greetz!
M.T.

What model iPad do you have? If it's an iPad 1, the battery may have expired and needs replacement.

T61p 14.1" Does not power up

My 14.1" T61p Type: 8891-CTO laptop does not power up.
After my last successful use, it was sitting idle for 2-3 days with battery & AC adapter connected. When I turned it on nothing came up, no battery charging light or display. I do not have mini/advanced dock.
So far I've tried the followings:
1.) Removed Battery & switched on with AC adapter (with & without circuit breaker)
2.) Removed AC adapter & switched on with Battery
3.) Removed HDD, RAM, DVD Drive one at a time & again used step 1 & 2 with no luck.
I bought it new in Dec'07 & still under warranty. I have never used Lenovo support before but from what I've read, their on-phone support sucks.
a.) Have you faced similar problem or know the solution?
b.) Does Lenovo have any local repair center in NJ or NC where I can physically carry the machine & get it fixed?
c.) What will be the fastest/sure-shot way of getting it fixed?
Thank you!
Warm regards,
Hitesh

Ok! It's fixed! I disconnected AC, removed the battery. Then, I took out / reinserted the MEMORY CARDS. As soon as I plugged in the AC, VIOLA! Indicator lights were on. I replaced the battery. I powered up the pc -- battery showed only 2% juice. Moral of the story: if you leave the pc in hibernate (prolly sleep mode too) for an extended period without plugging in, the battery will lose juice and the pc memory will remain in the previous mode, unable to register when AC is available. Not ideal, but what I think that's what it is. OR - someone else suggested that the PC needed a longer time to recharge after wasting all the battery juice -- and that I should've been more patient. But, the PC had been on the AC for 2 hours and no indicator lights were on, which made seemed to indicate that the PC was unable to register that it was attached to the AC power. I needed to get some work done, so I was ready to try anything. When in doubt, take the mem cards out. And reset them.
Sayonara!

My Audigy 2 NX does not power on anymo

Does anyone know if there is a repair manual or schematic diagram of the SB0300 Audigy 2 NX sound blaster available to consumers? If the schematic diagram published anywhere?

I have a similar problem. Anyone got suggestions? Anyone know how to take this thing apart? If it's just a transistor or something blown, I'd wanna replace it myself.
====
The unit has been working nicely for two yearswith the same computer. Yesterday (back in march '06), withoutchanges to computer hardware/software, suddenlythe Audigy 2 NX doesn't power up anymore. There wasno power distruption, and the adaptor itself ispowered through a Belkin SurgeMaster. Idisconnected all cables and reconnected themagain, but the unit does not power on. Also, Inoticed when I plug in the power adaptor, theunit itself (not the speakers) emits a veryfaint, high frequency noise.
-The power adaptor gets warm after a while.-I've looked into both optical in and out and there is no visible lightfrom those ports. In fact, the adaptor itself emits some highfrequency audible noise if and only if both sides (to wall and todevice) are connected. I have tested the output of the power adaptor with an oscilloscope. Itsoutput is average 5V but have a ringing from about 4-6V. I used anotherDCsupply to power the unit at 5V, and the unit fails to turn on. I'vealsonoticed that the current was 350mA even when the unit is off, so perhapssomething is short circuited inside.=========

MacBook Pro A1260 - does not power on

The MacBook Pro does not power on.
When I press the power button shortly, the sleep indicator light goes on and goes off again (with the macbook going off) within less than a second.
When I press and hold the power button, the sleep indicator light goes on, stays on for about 4 seconds, then begins flashing quickly (4..5 times per second?) for a second or two and then goes off (together with the macbook going off).
What does the blinking mean?
I tried with the battery only.
I tried with power chord only (battery removed).
I tried with battery and power chord connected.
Each time the same result.
The macbook used to have an original power supply, but that broke down. Now I use a nonane replacement, which worked well for some months.
What can I do to fix it?
EDITT:
The screen remains black all the time - the macbook does not beep. I can hear the DVD drive start up - also I believe that I can hear the CPU fan.

News - BIG PROBLEM - MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum - DOES NOT POWER!!!

Hi to everyone.
I'm a proudly owner of a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum that in one year gave me no problem until yesterday morning.
I used the computer in the night before and when I finished I turned it off and I went to bed.
Yesterday morning I found the power led blinking (like if the system was in standby), and there was no way to turn the PC on.
I even took off the battery for more than 12 hours and I left only minimal components installed:
the video card (Gainward GeForce 6800),
the psu (Antec TruePower 550W),
1 x 512 MB Ram Crucial Ballistix,
and I checked them into another computer and they work perfectly.
I tried shorting the MB power switch pins with a screwdriver and I've even tried to power on the system without the Memory or the Video Card... I've tried everything that came across my mind with no efforts!!!!
Every time I give power to the MB appens only that the power led starts blinking, but pressing the button the PC doesn't turn on.
PLEASE HELP ME... I really don't know what else to do!!!
Thanks,
Alberto

Hi thanks for the answers.
I do have a D-Bracket, but my problem is not that the system does not boot or does not post... my system DOES NOT POWER ON (!!!!), so d-bracket is useless!
When I plug the system power the only thing that happens is that the power led starts blinking (with the system still in soft-off), and if I press the power switch button nothing happens!
I've the bios for 7025 v1.8 and the settings where for OFF on power-loss ond pressing the button (can't rememeber if it was more than 4 sec) was meant to turn off the computer, but considering that I un-powered the pc more than once without the MB battery the settings should be factory default by now.
I went through the Windows-XP shut-down system, and i could not be an electrical problem as I always used the PC with a pretty good UPS unit.
Right now these are the full specs of my sytem:
- MB MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum nForce3 Ultra
- GAINWARD 6800 2600 GLH 256 MB Ram
- PSU Antec TruPower 550 W
- CPU AMD64 3500+ core Winchester @11*210 Mhz (this cpu has never overclocked very well)
- HEATSINK Thermalright XP-90 with a 12 Cm Enermax Fan (CPU temp in always below 55 °C when stressed)
- 1 x 512 Mb RAM Crucial Ballistix DDR400 optimized for MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
I left only these things inside my computer in the hope that it would turn on... it did not work. I tested each component but the MB, and they work perfectly.
Again...
Thanks for you efforts, any help will be appreciated.
Alberto.
All parts have been tested: CPU/RAM/GFX/PSU/HD/DVD, just not the MOBO ?
Checked if the MOBO is shorting in the case ?
Have you tried using the reset switch as power, on/off switch ? I've seen before when the power switch stops working (lose/bad wire busted spring) after swapping reset to power, then the system turned on. Worth a try, as sending it back to USA won't be cheap. If its over 1 year old it mite not be covered by the re-seller and or MSI. Best to check this out as law and warranty is different from country to country.
Good Luck

Screen/Computer does not Power Up when life the Display from being Closed

Sometimes (not always), when i come back to my MacBook Pro and open the display after it has been closed for a bit, the screen and computer does not power back up or anything. If you look at the screen there is a very FAINT image on the screen of whatever was open when the screen was closed, but you can't do anything, nothing is responsive, etc. I have to hold down the power button until it turns off, and then right before it turns off the screen will power up for one second and then shuts off. Any ideas?

I am having a similar issue when transitioning from my external display via the Mini Display to DVI adapter back to the internal LCD. The screen will go black, the machine will not sleep if I close the lid, and none of they key commands appear to work. The only response I can get is the caps lock key will turn off and on. When I restart the machine, I get no details on a Kernel Panic, or anything else, so wondering if it has something to do with the video drivers.

I am using final cut express 4. It seems that any clip over a certain length, say 5 min, does not fully transfer! All shorter clips are perfectly fine. Is there some reason why longer clips are not fully transferred? (a half blue circle shows up on the transfer list, indicating that the clip was not fully transferred. When I check in the capture scratch folder, sure enough the whole clip is not there!
Is there some glitch in final cut express that only allows short clips to be transferred in full?

Thanks for the reply. I'll try to answer all the questions (I am a relative novice). Your help is appreciated.
By the way, the other reply I received suggested the following:
In Final Cut Express>System Settings>Scratch Discs make sure the Limit Capture/Export File Segement Size To: is not checked.
I did this and it was already unchecked. So this is not the answer...
The strange thing is, I have been logging and transferring with FCE for 2 yrs without any problems at all with shorter clips, but have come up against the problem with long clips (over 5 or so min) the whole time. I got around it by simply making sure I stopped recording after less than 5 min while shooting footage. OR if I accidentally got a long clip, I import into imovie and then import into FCE. Not very streamline and I worry about compressions altering quality!
I am now trying to import a 20 min and a 17 min clip and it only transfers around 3 minutes of each, I have re-tried several times and it happens repeatedly. The blue circle in the transfer list shows up as a half blue circle instead of full. Clip cuts off after 3 or so minutes.
