N97 Weird power problem

Hi,
I have a Nokia N97, I always use the data cable to charge my N97, yesterday when I was on a holiday a weird problem started, when I tried to use the mobile, the white screen with Nokia logo appeared, then turned of completly, I thought it might be because of low battery, when I returned home plugged my mobile to the data cable and laptop and left it for 2 hours, thinking that it might have been charged and then I tried to turn on, nothing comes up on the screen, the other weird thing is that when i connect my data cable to the phone and laptop, i see that the Windows detects the hardware but after a few seconds says its disconnecte, this happens continusly till i disconnect the cable completly, the light near the cable connection is turned on when connected. Please help, i tried the battery removal, the master reset 3 keys + pwr on trick but didnt help, still unable to power on
Also, when I connect my data cable, the charging screen doesn't come up, when I press and hold the powert button when the data cable is connected, it only vibrates but no white screen with nokia appears, and the phone doesnt even vibrate when i hold the power button when the data cable is disconnected.

Yap, I know what you are talking about!
Same thing happened to me so many times. Hard reset is the only solution. Formats, reinstalls and all other stuff that come in mind do not help permanently. Believe me, nothing you can do!
Three generations of FW suffered the same problem.
N97 modules were developed in different parts of the world as they claim. Imagine how it is  difficult to connect all those modules in such small housing and make them work with each other! No way.
Here's my advice: take your #$%^ing phone to official repair centre and let them know what  you think about N97. My N97 has been in repair centre since March 3 this year! No chance they can repair it. Ask for new one or go for another phone, N900 perhaps...

  • HELP ME! My computer is posessed! Very weird power problem!!!!

    I am using an iMac - first generation of intel-based iMacs - and I have a very weird powering-on and powering-off problem.
    When I plug my iMac into the wall socket, it starts up on it's own. When I shut it down (using BOTH the apple menu OR the power button), it starts itself right back up. When I put it to sleep, it goes to sleep and then wakes up immediately. It does restart normally, though, so it seems that my iMac simply has a problem with being OFF!
    Help meh! I'd like to save a trip to the Apple Store if I can help it!

    It will do that if the box *☐ Start automatically after a power failure* on the Energy Saver preference panel is checked.

    If the SMC and Energy Saver Preference changes do not cure these problems, then you will need to seek service help.

  • Weird Power Problem

    I have a new battery and charger (less than 6 months old), both seem to be working fine. When plugged in, it shows 98% charged and all four lights light up when I hit the button on the battery. The problem is the computer won't start when it's not plugged in or if I pull the cord while I'm using it, it just shuts off.
    I zapped the p-ram, which did nothing. I grabbed my old battery and tried it, also nothing.
    Help!!!! I'm getting ready to go on vacation and would really like to have my laptop with me.

    You could try turning off the iPhone (holding sleep button and sliding the red bar) and turn it back on. Some users note to drain the battery every month before recharging as this calibrates the battery.
    Try formatting the iPhone and restore everything either through backup restore or a clean restore which wipes all data out. This would reinstall the OS as well resetting the battery issue.

  • Xserve Power Problem

    i have an xserve g5 single 2.0ghz. it is having a new weird power problem where it restarts after about 2 hours. i am almost positive that it isnt the power source (the wall) because i have tried different plugs and still the same problem. although it could be because it has never done this a couple of months ago when it was in a different part of the room. i do not leave it on 24/7, it is only on for max 3 hours a day. it also really only restarts when i do video editing and use it as a scratch disk. i need to know if its the power supply or my wall plugs or the power cord
    thanks

    Your two best tools here are monitoring and logging.
    Server Monitor will report way more than you want to know about the internal hardware of your Xserve. Run it on another machine (so you can read the log after the Xserve shuts down) and it will monitor temperature, memory, voltage etc and any hardware anomalies should register here first.
    Open Console and check out the log right before the shutdown for any messages - short of yanking the cord out of the wall just about any strangeness should be registered in log messages from one source or another. If you computer is deciding to shutdown because of anything it detects it will definitely be in there.
    If you can find no apparent cause the only way to rule out the electricity is to put a UPS between the computer and wall and see if the behavior changes.
    Good luck,

  • U160 power problem

    Hi,
    My U160 has, what I believe to be is, a power problem. My USB mouse (or other USB device) most of the time works fine. On a different computer it always works fine. But, when I plug in additional USB devices (into one of the other ports), or when the internal fan starts up, I will get brief mouse freezes. This is really annoying. After these freezes start, even if the fan stops or if I remove the additional USB device, the mouse will continue to suffer these freezes. Other USB mice also have this issue. It happens on all three of the USB ports.
    I have upgraded the bios with the December release. I am also running the power management software. This problem persists.
    Has anybody else experienced this issue? Are there any recommendations for a resolution?
    I am running Win 7 pro X64.
    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

    Here's a screenshot of a utility I use. It shows how much power a device is using plugged into a USB port.
    I'll get a link to the utility.http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/pc-wizard/versions-history.html
    The only thing about this is I never tried the new version.  I always used the version from 2009 which came on a utility disc that I bought.  
    When it opens, click on ports.  The screenshot shows my iphone drawing 500ma and my external keyboard drawing 100ma.
    http://download.cnet.com/Advanced-USB-Port-Monitor/3000-2218_4-10508239.html
    I found a trial version that works better.  Make sure you don't install the bogus toolbar.  This shows a true reading of what is drawing what.
    You might also want to open Windows event viewer and see if there is anything weird going on there.

  • Weird internet problem / ssl connection error, site loads in safari not in firefox or other way around

    I really can't figure out this problem. Search the internet tried all kinds of things, nothing help so far.
    I have a Macbook Pro (Lion originally installed) running on Mavericks (all latest updates). SSD installed and the DVD tray is replaced by the original HDD.
    The laptop wasn't running very smooth anymore so decided to give it a fresh Mavericks install (even though I know it's not really necessary for mac, it helped, everything is much faster except a weird internet problem came up).
    After freshly installing Mavericks I couldn't get into my google account anymore, just wouldn't load. Tried Safari (use this normally) and Firefox and Chrome, this last was gave a SSL connection error, both Safari and FF said the website couldn't be loaded because the server didn't respond. For Gmail I use Mailplane which is just stuck on a white page. I tried repairing the keychain, repaired disk and disk permissions, cleaned browsers, turned off firewall and antivirus (Shopos) started in safe mode, checked time settings which were all good. Nothing of this helped. I even ended up creating a usb bootdisk for Mavericks, formatted the disk and reinstalled from the start just Mavericks and nothing else, started Safari, still the same problem. As even this didn't help I figured it's not worth reinstalling all software so put back my backup.
    Now I ended up somehow only being able to use Gmail normally in Firefox, Chrome still gives SSL error and Safari can load the inbox, but I can't open any messages. I get the error there is a problem with the connection. If I try in Basic HTML mode it surprisingly does work.
    You would say, just use Firefox, finished...but the thing is that sometimes random websites won't load in Firefox, when I load the same site in Safari it works perfectly.
    O yes, I also tried the connect to my iPhone and use the Cellular data network, then it's no problem using Gmail in Safari normally. You would say it's a router problem, but I have another Macbook Pro (just one model later running Mountain Lion) this one works perfectly with every browser. Also my iPhone does everyting logged into the WiFi network.
    You can understand I really have no clue what's going on here, I don't see any logic. I can only think of a hardware problem in my Macbook, but don't see how that could cause these problems.
    I hope someone is ably to help me ?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • MacBook Pro Power Problems.

    My MacBook Pro is exhibiting power problems. I am running Yosemite and it seems that the problem may have arisen since I dowloaded this upgrade. When the battery is charged it shows 99% charge and I can use it on battery power. As normal with use the charge gradually reduces, say to 30%. I then switch off using either the on/off button/apple logo, waiting for the dialogue box, " do you want to switch off etc". The next day, I switch on, but the computer will only boot up when the power lead is attached. When the computer comes on, usually as normal, the charge always shows 0%. When it is recharged the whole process repeats itself. Help please.

    Hi,
    Thanks for responding. My MBP is late 2009 and the battery has never been replaced. When I look at battery condition, it registers as normal, as it does when I do the power checks you suggested. When I plug in the power cord it glows green and within a few seconds it is on amber, until fully charged. I've done the SMC reset. I  noticed this morning that after using it last night the battery capacity was 93% and an expected duration of about 5.5 hours was listed. After limited use this morning, restricted to email admin only, the charge level had dropped to 88%, but the predicted duration was only 2.75 hours. Currently the level is 73% and the duration is  3 hours, although I have accessed the web several times. Presumably there is some sort of algorithm that looks at current usage and predicts the duration. I will continue to monitor this to see what happens. In the meantime if you have any more thoughts!!!
    Regards
    Roger

  • Hard Disk or Power Problem

    I have a Powerbook that I have had for many years now. Recently it hasn't been booting up. I hit the start button and it chimes like it usually does but the screen and hard disk don't do anything. Sometimes it does boot up but it doesn't start easily. When it does boot sometime freezes when I go through the login and when loading the desktop but once the desktop is loaded it works fine until it goes to sleep. I just bought a new battery for it this summer. I have been reading though the Discussions and I figure my computer is either having power problems when starting up or I need a new hard disk. Any thoughts?

    You will find step by step directions at iFixit. Note that your computer does not have the EMI finger referred to in the directions. Also, be especially careful with the tiny screws in the sides on the computer. You don't want to strip the heads or it will be very difficult to get them out. Here are few tips you may find helpful:
    • Print out the ifixit directions as well as the screw guide ahead of time.
    • Be sure you have the right tools. You don't want to damage the screw heads or you may never get them out. And the Torx screw driver is critical. For a spudge I use the handle of an old toothbrush (choose one made of hard plastic), cut off the brush and beveled the handle end like a flat blade screw driver). For some spudge jobs a credit card will do the trick.
    • Click on the pages of each step which involved removing screws to enlarge, then print out the pages. Poke holes in the paper where the screws were removed, poke the screws in the holes and stack the pages in order in which there were removed. Reassembling is a lot easier. No cups to tip over and spill. No guessing. Each screw is exactly in the right place. You can use an ice cube tray, egg carton, dixie cups etc. I previously used small medicine cups one for the screws in each step. I nested them so that the last ones out and the first to go back in are on top. (Some users report cutting up the screw guide and placing the applicable section in each container.)
    • Be very careful pulling out leads. Hold the lead as close to the plug as possible and wiggle (the plug ) to loosen its grip. Don’t hold the wires and pull as that can damage the cable, or worse, in some instances pull the wires out of the plug. Indeed, some users have pulled the socket off the logic board! Use needle nose pliers or tweezers if you can access the plug, or nudge the plug with a small instrument to help loosen its grip.
    • Use force gently in removing parts. Separating upper and lower case takes some doing. Use a plastic tool (spudge) so as not to leave marks.
    • Refer to the screw guide when reassembling computer. Putting longer screws in the wrong place can perforate the circuit board.
    So will I be able to put the OS and everything on by the installation discs?
    Yes you will. Indeed you may be able to clone the contents of your current HDD to the new HDD by placing the drive in a firewire enclosure and formatting and cloning the new drive before installing it in the computer. If you have data you need to backup and have a sound installation on your current HDD this might be an option to consider.
    When you get your new HDD it will need to be formatted before you can install the OS on it. If you need directions for formatting and installation, I can post step by step directions here for you. Let me know.
    Good luck.

    Howdy rcoo26,
    It sounds like there’s an issue turning your MacBook Pro on when it isn’t connected to power, and the battery doesn’t seem to be holding a charge. The article below provides information that can help you troubleshoot the battery in your notebook.

  • N97 Wi-Fi Problems

    I have just received my N97, and was wondering if anybody would kindly help with the following problem:
    My N97 connects, no problem, to my home network, using wi-fi, however, if i attempt to open, any of the pre-installed apps ( i-player, Facebook etc) the N97 automatically attempts to connect via gprs.
    I cannot find any settings, that allow me to change the app settings.
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    Check this out.
    Under Connectivity you will find a folder named "Destinations" where you will be able to setup multiple access points under one connections point. i.e mine defaults to a Connection point named "Internet" where I have 3 access points
    WLAN
    Orange Internet 
    Orange Java
    I have prioritized em in that order so when my WLAN is out of range the phone should automatically search for the next priority access point in this case Orange Internet and if that ain't available then it should search for and connect to Orange Java.
    After you set this up make make it your default access point for your browser and every other app that allows you to define an access point. 
    Hope this helps I'd advise you to download the User guide and read the whole "Connectivity" Chapter to fully understand this.

  • Intermittent power problem Canon 5D Mark iii

    My Canon 5D Mark iii (2 years old) has an intermittent power problem, as described below. It may simply be a question of cleaning the terminals that the battery connects to. I haven’t tried since I can’t reach them at the bottom of the battery compartment.
    Details as follows:
    this is a recent problem in the last 3 weeks
    the problem occurs with all three Canon batteries that I use
    from time to time when the power is on, the camera suddenly loses all power and displays an “empty” battery image
    sometimes it happens of its own accord while no demand is being placed on the camera
    but more usually it occurs at the moment of focusing (I use back focus on the * button)
    it is often fixed by turning the power off and then on again. This fixes it half the time
    it is always fixed by turning the power off, removing and then re-inserting the battery
    needless to say this is very annoying!
    Since coming back from a trip, while transferring images from the camera to my computer, I noticed that the (almost) full battery started showing “empty”.
    The transfer was completed successfully, and when the camera was disconnected from the computer, the battery showed that it had lots of charge left. Very puzzling!

    It sounds like either the battery terminals aren't getting a solid contact or there's a fault (something loose or grounding out) inside the camera.  But if something were genuinely loose or grounding out inside the camera, then power cycling or even re-inserting batteries would probably not fix it -- which makes me suspect it's still something outside the camera.
    Are any of the batteries new, or are they all about the same age as the camera?
    Batteries only last a few years but it'll depend on how they were used.  In other words if all three were used about the same and enough charge cycles to be at the end of their reliable life... it might be time to replace them.  
    It's difficult for the internal battery terminals to get dirty unless the battery itself had something on the battery iteself when you inserted it.  You can try a bit of denatured alcohol on a cotton swap to reach in and clean the terminals.  Also, inspect the batteries to make sure they're all clean.

  • Mini Power Problem

    My mini (2009, Intel core2 duo, Snow Leopard, up to date) has a power problem. Perhaps it has overheated.
    It shut down unexpectedly, without warning.
    I try to start it by pressing the power button. The power light turns on briefly. there is no chime. Then the light goes out.
    I tried resetting the SMC. No effect. I tried holding the power button in. The light stayed on for several seconds, then flashed rapidly 10 times, and turned off.
    I have given it over half an hour to cool, and placed a fan behind it to help.
    No change.
    Thoughts?
    Other minor points. I upgraded the RAM and hard disk 6 months ago. No problem.
    It is running dual monitors, Wireless is turned off, ethernet is on, and I have a speaker plugged through the firewire port. But I tried disconnecting everything and restarting naked. No help.
    I'll try again now... nope. Please advise.

    Next bit of data. The chime does not happen. That seems to have been a single occurrence. I've opened the mini, and see the internal green LED on the motherboard is lit. When I hit the power button, then may be a tiny whirr. I'm not sure whether it is the disk or a fan. But it lasts a fraction of a second, then the main external power light goes out, and the motherboard green light also goes off, then comes back on. I'm thinking there may be a big power draw (disk drive? Fan?) exceeding the power available, and it shuts off. Possible?

  • NX6800 Ultra T2D256 Power problem...

    I have read all threads I can find on the NX6800 Ultra T2D256 but can't find the solution. I keep getting the "power down because not enough power" error at the start up of XP Home. With the Thermaltake Purepower 560w ps, I'd think it is more than enough to power this card. I have installed the card in my son's computer and he get's the same msg. I have made sure the pins are tight and making contact, it's set up on one rail, and I have tried every combonation I can think of. I called Thermaltake and they say it should run the card fine so they are sending me a replacment ps. For some reason I just don't feel the replacment will do it. Could it be the card? Or is it the slow AMD 2100 CPU? I don't what that would have to do with the power problem of the video card though... I'm pritty sure everting is up to date but I could have missed something...
    Any suggestions would be appreciated...
    Oooops... no sig line...
    Avalanche
    A7V600-X mobo
    OCZ 512 x 2 duel channel mem
    AMD XP2100 CPU
    T-take ps 560w (Silent Purepower)

    Ok, I will try the 2 power cables again and I take it that nothing else but the card should be run on those 2 lines?
    Also, that leaves me with only 2 power lines to run 2 cd/cdr, 2 HD's, and 1 floppy. I also have 5 case fans.
    Now can you point me to an explination of what "replacing all the AGP/Gart drivers and doing a driver clean on the NVidia drivers" is?
    I am running the ATI 850Pro on that computer right now so I know to un-install the ATI drivers of course before installng the NVidia card. I have never heard of "Gart" and didn't know there were seperate AGP drivers from the mother board drivers...
    Still got a lot to learn and thank you for all your help...

  • Weird audio problem during calls

    I have a weird audio problem and was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem or could help...
    My wife and I both have iPhone 5's and sometimes (not all the time) when she calls me (or I call her), it connects, but no matter which audio input I choose (phone, bluetooth, speaker, headphones), I cannot hear her, but she can hear me... I hang up, call back (and when I call, there is no dialing sound, nor any other phone sounds) and it's the same thing. Sometimes restarting the phone works, other times I have to restart it 3-4 times before it'll work again.  I try different things during these calls, like turning on/off bluetooth and/or wifi (pretty much anything I can think of that would make a difference), but nothing seems to help.
    The (other) weird part is that after the last time of this happening, I tried calling my iPhone with my office phone and it worked fine, so then I immediately call my wife back with my iPhone and it was doing the same thing again. I called her back using my office phone and could talk to her fine...
    This problem has been going on for a few months now and I have tried restoring the phone a couple times (and I am on the latest iOS) and sadly, that hasn't done anything to help... Does anyone have any ideas what is going on? I'd make an appointment for the problem, but since it doesn't do it all the time, I don't know what good it would do... But it is getting very frustrating!
    Thanks for any help!
    -Jason

    Thanks for the response!  It happened again yesterday...  It seems to be happening more frequently in the past few weeks now.
    I checked the link and have tried all of the things listed at one point or another over the past few months.  I did just check my Carrier settings and it said it had updated (it's on 14.1), but I am not sure when that happened (could have been today, could have been after my last restore last week, not sure).  I'll keep my fingers crossed that maybe that fixed it...
    If it continues to act up, would you recommend that I bring the phone in to an Apple store or an AT&T store?  I bought the phone through Apple, but my carrier is AT&T (and if you suspect that the problem may be with the cellular conection), maybe the AT&T store would be the better choice?
    I really wish the problem would be more consistant or go away, cause trying to get the problem solved is driving me crazy!
