New S30 does not power up correctly

I have just received a new ThinkStation S30 that will not power on. 
When the power button is pressed, fans spin and the lights on the front illuminate for less than a second. There are no audible beeps and the numeric display on the motherboard flashes 00 during the brief power on. The lights on the power supply and NIC are green at all times.
The vendor has replaced the motherboard and RAM. I've swapped out the power switch, power supply, external power cable and video card from a working S30 without any difference. All cables/connectors have all been reseated as well.
I'm at a loss as to what to try next.
Has anyone else seen and/or resolved this issue before?

There are a couple of things you could try depending on your confidence level when messing with the system:
-  Re-seat CPU (though if your motherboard was replaced, this was done at least once already)
-  Inspect CPU socket for any bent pins
-  Inspect underside of CPU for any obvious contamination on contact points
-  Try swapping in another CPU if you have one
00 tells me the system isn't getting very far in POST at all, so it's something drastic.  Seems like the CPU likely isn't executing code at all.   I'm very surprised you're seeing the issue on two different motherboards.
If the above yields nothing useful, you could try to do a boot block recovery to system BIOS.  It's possible BIOS was corrupted to the point that it's never going to POST.

    I have had my iMac for 55 days now and twice I had to power off/on and then It does not power up correctly.  I verified my disk and found errors that could not be repaired (errors were associated with boot drive)  I erased the drive and restored system back to the previous day.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    Since it's a new machine, contact Apple's Support and let them deal with it. Allen's already recommended an Apple repair station visit. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you might be eligible for an onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine (depends on where you're located).  BTW, the AppleCare Protection Plan's the best warranty policy available for desktop machines. Get it if you don't have it before contacting Apple.

  • New RAM Does Not Run At Correct Timings

    Hey guys,
    My package arrived today.  Brand new OCZ PC3700 Gold Edition 1GB Dual Channel kit.
    Before installing, I clocked back my CPU to default speed and set the memory frequency to Auto.
    I stuck in the new modules and booted up. Booted in dual-channel, but only at 400MHz when they're DDR466. Strange.
    I went into the BIOS and manually set the frequency to 466, and they booted fine. My CPU booted at 3.26GHz instead of the default 2.8, I assume because I have 1:1 ratio set and my FSB must keep up with the memory.
    According to CPU-Z though, they're running at 2.5-4-4-10, when the website says they run at 2.5-3-3-7.
    What gives? I thought they would run at their rated timings when they're at the default frequency.
    Also, how do I know what timings I should use for different FSB speeds? I was planning on trying some overclocking tonight to see how far I should get, but I need to know what to set the timings at before I do so.
    Also, what should I set the MAT to in the BIOS? he options I have are Normal, Fast, Turbo(MAT) and Ultra-Turbo(MAT).  Does the MAT setting affect the RAM timings?  In what way, exactly?  The MSI website does not explain MAT in any great detail.  Also, what should I set this at when I overclock?

    SPD uses info programmed into the ram sticks to decide what settings to use for particular speeds. You can use a utility like Sisoft Sandra to see what is programmed.
    Normal, Fast, Turbo and Ultra-Turbo are the performance mode settings. Fast and higher enable the PAT mode (see  P4 Neo Unofficial Guide ). However, at FSB settings higher than 218, PAT becomes disabled. At settings higher than approximately 225, the 'lost' performance is regained. The settings themselves allow the bios to set progressively more agressive memory settings.
    When you set the RAM speed to 400 instead of Auto, and set the CPU FSB at 225 or higher, a lot of ram that won't run in Ultra-Turbo at other settings is able to run.
    As for the ram speed rating, it isn't the speed the ram runs at. It is the maximum speed it is supposed to be able to run at. When you set the ram speed in the bios, you are setting the speed it runs at when the cpu FSB is at 200. Increase the cpu FSB by 10% and the ram runs 10% faster.
    Any time you increase the FSB setting, make sure you go to the AGP/PCI setting. It will be greyed out, but you can hit the enter key anyways. Then select the closest setting to 66/33 you can find. This will keep the AGP card stable and prevent data corruption problems with SATA drives.

  • Satellite 1130 does not power up correctly

    Recently my Toshiba Satellite 1130 Laptop is playing up...
    It will not boot up fully and after many many attempts at rebooting finally got it to boot to xp only to have it shut itself down again.
    Pressing and holing the powr on button for a few seconds starts up the laptop but how far it gets into the boot up sequence varies (only twice has it booted to Xp then shut down again)
    I have tried with just Battery, Just AC, Ac & Battery.
    The problem is recent and nothing has happened to the laptop to cause a problem ...
    Can anyone help?

    > Recently my Toshiba Satellite 1130 Laptop is playing up... It will not boot up fully and after many attempts at rebooting finally got it to boot to xp only to have it shut itself down again.
    You mean the notebook shuts down automatically without any warnings?
    Hmm the notebook is an oldie and your descriptions sounds like an overheating issue
    In many cases the notebooks shut down because the internal temperature is too high.
    The reasons could be different but mostly the ventilators and cooling grilles are clogged and dust prevents the fans from properly working.
    I think that you could try to clean the ventilators using a compressed air spray.
    You could buy such spray from different computer dealers
    Then clean the ventilators and check if the issue would still persist.

  • 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

  • 8800 does not power on but shows the charging symbol! HELP!

    Hello everyone,
    I have been searching for days now across the web for a solution to a very bugging situation. A'las i am close to giving up. someone please try and help. So here is the problem: I recently bought a 8800 rim (branded for cingular/AT&T but UNLOCKED) from ebay powerseller with 100% rep. it was advertised in MINt condition.
    It arrived two days later and seemed in great physical condition.
    So i plug in the charger and let it charge for more than 8 hours. I try turning it on but to no avail. During the charge the screen goes dimly on and shows a battery with an electric bolt going through (I assume that means charging..).
    It initially seemed to me as a battery problem. So i took it to a local store and borrowed one of their batteries for 8800 and the phone started working fine also made a call with my temporary T-mobile sim inserted. (although their battery was also on low charge)---
    So i come home and with a new OEM 8800 battery. plugged it in and charged for like 4 hours and the screen goes on with the charging symbol but does not power on.
    I have repeatedly searched through the WWW and came across wide variety of dilemmas but none were any helpful. I also tried installing the latest OS...which also spectacularly failed [got an error that ...loading failed during the mult-load seesion...or something like that. I followed several very well written guides [advising that the manager and OS be installed on PC and etc.].
    SO I MAKE A DESPERATE REQUEST FOR HELP FROM ANYONE OUT THERE WHO CAN HELP. WHAT'S THE DIAGNOSIS WITH THIS BB. IT WAS ABLE TO WORK WITH THE BORROWED BATTERY FROM A LOCAL STORE..EVEN MADE A CALL AND EVERYTHING...BUT WITH THE BATTERY THAT CAME WITH THE eBay PURCHASE AND THE THE BRAND NEW THAT I BOUGHT....IT DOES NOT POWER ON.
    BESIDES HOW LONG SHOULD I BE CHARGING IF IT IS NEW OR IF THE PHONE HAS NOT BEEN IN USE FROM SOME TIME??
    THANKS IN ADVANCE.
    Please help ASAP.

    How are you charging the BlackBerry? Do you have a wall charger or are you charging via USB cable from your PC? Its also possible that the charging circut in your BlackBerry is faulty. This would explain why a charged battery works while your uncharged battery is not.

  • Nomad Zen Xtra does not power

    I have just recieved my Zen Xtra today. But when I power it on, per the manuals proper instruction, it does not power on. I have also tried to charge the battery with the mp3 player both on & off. When I had it on the "using AC outlet" icon would show. It does seem I need a new battery. But I fear something else, could the charging mechanism be dead? This player is a refurbished product by the way. It works on the AC outlet, I can transfer files to it, and I can successfully connect it to the USB port. the hard dri've sounds fine. It seems I need to buy a new battery right? Where else besides Creative.com can I buy one? Thanks.

    First, read/try the advice here
    Failing that, I would suggest buying a replacement battery. Check froogle.com (that link is set to the best deals) for a good price.

  • New MySites does not use the specified permissions

    I've changed the MySite Settings in Central Admin so that only my AD group called "DOMAIN\All employees" is added to the Read Permission Level setting. I've removed "All" and "All Windows".
    Now users create MySites, and at first the permissions seems right. When I check top level permission on new mysite, only the user and the group "DOMAIN\All employees" is present in the list.
    The problem is that the folder "Shared with everyone" and the lists "Social" and "Microfeed" does not get the correct permissions. When I check the permissions (since they have unique permissions) I can see that it is the claim
    "All" that has access, not my "DOMAIN\All employees" group.
    This means that the documents added to the "Shared with everyone" is available for all users, not only my employees. The same is for content in the social lists, the elements are visible in search results for all users.
    Does anyone know how I can change the default permissions of the folder and the two lists that does not inherit permissions from the root web of the mysite?
    Regards ElinK
    ElinK

    Hi
    ElinK,
    There is no out of the box way to accomplish this with SharePoint
    As you had said, one way is that we can use the code to change the MySite list permission for the existed MySite.
    Another way is that we can create MySite programmatically, break inheritance and add unique permission to List.
    There are some articles for your reference.

  • New HD does not spin up in

    Hello,
    I replaced the orginal 6 GB HD with a 30 GB drive (both from Maxtor). The problem is, that the new drive does not spin up and the on/off button on the iMac keeps yellow and not green.
    If I only connect the power cable but not the IDE cable the HD spins up. If both cables are connected nothing happens!
    Are there incompatibilites with different IDE drives? Does the new HD perhaps need a "turn-on" signal and does not get it? I have tried three different HDs, the problem does always appear.
    The computer is an:
    iMac Rev. D, 333 MHz, 160 MB memory

    I replaced the orginal 6 GB HD with a 30 GB drive (both from Maxtor). The problem is, that the new drive does not spin up and the on/off button on the iMac keeps yellow and not green.
    You need to set the drive to Master. Cable select doesn't work. The pin selects are usually on a sticker on the drive.
    Are there incompatibilites with different IDE drives? Does the new HD perhaps need a "turn-on" signal and does not get it? I have tried three different HDs, the problem does always appear.
    I think the drive would start up, but this is a rule too.
    The tray loading iMac requires the boot partition to be within 8gig. Since there are hidden partition before the first visible partition, people recommend that you make the first visible partition 7.5 gig to 7.9gig.
    You should be able to use Unix symbolic links to 'move' some directory like /Users to the second visible partition.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Ipod does not power up unless plugged in

    My ipod touch does not power up unless plugged in or connected to the computer.  It is fully charged and when I unplug from the power outlet or computer it will stay on for a minute and then turn off again.  It only shows the apple icon when I try to turn it on unplugged and then turns back off.

    Likey the battery is dead.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order
