Numlock key lights up when I press F5 and no chime is heard on start up

HI,
I have a 12" iBook G4 with a broken screen. So, I cannot see anything on the screen, but till a couple of hours back I could hear the start up chime. I connected it to an external monitor to see if it shows anything. Nothing came up on the screen. So, I pressed all combination of buttons on the keyboard. After that nothing is working. The numlock key lights up when I press F5 and not F6. I inserted a CD, but it doesn't come out when I press F12. The Caps Lock is working fine. Any help will be appreciated! I want to use my iBook with an external monitor.
Thanks!

Have you tried starting up in Safe Mode?

  • I have a Iphone 5c and the screen light open when I press a button but nothing appears on the screen and I can't do anything

    I have a brand new Iphone 5c since like 2 weeks ans just today this happened, Cell is full charge everything is good i'm using it and then put it in my pocket for about 1hour and when I pick it out it don't work anymore !! the screen doesn't work like it lights up when I press on any button but I can't see nothing the screen stay black and I can't do my code to unlock it or even answer a phone call !!

    You have voiceover on. First try tapping the home button three times fast to turn it off.
    If it is still on the gestures are different. You tap once to choose an item then double tap the item to activate it. Remember everything that was one tap is now tap then double tap. Start with the lock screen. Tap, then double tap your code. Swipe with two fingers to open, if the screen doesn't slide with two fingers try using three.
    Tap then double tap each of the following. Settings> general> accessibility> voiceover > off.
    Good luck.
    Edit. I'm not sure if you need two fingers to slide to unlock. Try with one finger. If that doesn't work try two.

    Click here for information; if the computer beeps three or fewer times, remove and reinsert the computer's RAM. If it beeps four or more times, it needs to be repaired. If it's a G5, it will ignore RAM modules that aren't part of a matching pair.

  • I was trying to restore my itouch and when i pressed "restore" and then pressed "restore and update", another sign popped up saying "The ipod "ipod" could not be restored. The disk you are attempting is full. Removing files and empty the recycle bin

    i was trying to restore my itouch because it showed on my itouch the itunes bar on top and the charger on bottom so i went on itunes and when i pressed "restore" and then pressed "restore and update", another sign popped up saying "The ipod "ipod" could not be restored. The disk you are attempting is full. Removing files and empty the recycle bin will free up additional space. What do I do?!?!?! please help me ASAP

    Hi
    I followed this guy's instructions and it worked:
    http://evsiphone.blogspot.com/2009/05/iphone-iphone-could-not-be-restored.html
    I did disable the security (AVG and Zone Alarm) when I tried on my own PC. My wife's laptop which eventually got it working also uses AVG and Zone Alarm but on an XP O/S whereas my PC is Vista - maybe this is why.
    Cheers for you help.

    Battery does not appear to charge
    Important: iPod touch cannot be charged with a FireWire-based power source.
    Verify that the power source being used is working properly.
    If connecting to a computer's USB port, verify it is a high-powered USB 2.0 port. Note: The USB ports on most keyboards don't provide enough power, so if you're connecting iPod touch to a keyboard, make sure it has a high-powered USB 2.0 port.
    Verify the computer is turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPod touch is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPod touch battery may drain.
    Try another USB port.
    Try charging from a USB charger if available.
    If that does not help, try another USB cable if available.
    Learn more about charging the battery.
    The Home button isn't working
    Put the iPod Touch to sleep.
    Wait a couple of seconds.
    Press the Home button.
    iPod Touch should wake up.
    If iPod Touch does not wake up, then iPod Touch should be serviced.

    When I press the + and - buttons, the volume icon appears, but the slider is empty. When I receive a call, I hear it ring, and I can hear the ringtones in the sound menu. However, the message/mail notifications don't make any noise, and I can't hear the sound menu.
    - During a phone call, if I put the conversation on speakers ==> it works and the volume bar reappears. I can control the volume with + and - buttons. But when the conversation is over, the bar disappears again.
    - With the headphones, everything is ok!
    - I also noticed (only a few times) that when I do a silent to ringer mode, the volume slider reappears and works correctly during 2 or 3 seconds, before disappearing again.
    I don't know what is problem,because the speakers work.

  • Hi um i have the ipod 5 and my computer seems to be fine with the wifi but when i pressed wifi and my wifi does not pop up it i put it on airplane mode reset the  networks erased my safari history . and it still has not read my wireless internet ?

    If not:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

    Then:
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Dear all, Since a week ago I observe that when I press the button for my macbook air to start a nap, first the screen turns to black but I can see the arrow (pointer). And only after few seconds the arrow and the screen really shut down.

    Dear all, Since a week ago I observe that when I press the button for my macbook air to start a nap, first the screen turns to black (although I can see it is stil on) and I can see the arrow (pointer). Only after 15 seconds the arrow and the screen really shut down. It did not occur before, as a matter of fact it was instantaneous. What could be the problem?

    Note the time in your Mac's menu bar or some other accurate timepiece. Then, press the button to put the MBA to sleep. Wait until the cursor disappears and for all indications that the Mac appears to be asleep.
    Then, wake the Mac the way you normally wake it.
    Then, find the Console app - it is in your Utilities folder and looks like this
    You can find it by selecting Utilities from the Finder's Go menu.
    Open Console.
    If the log list column on the left is not already displayed, show the log list by selecting Show Log List from Console's View menu.
    Locate system.log in the list and select it. Many date and time-stamped entries will appear, hundreds of them, and you must find the entries relevant to your Mac's sleep problem. To do that type the words sleep cause in the Filter field at the upper left of the Console window:
    That will cause all log entries to be hidden, except for the entries containing those words. The last entry in the list will correspond to the last time you woke the Mac. It will have a time stamp in the form hh:mm:ss later than the time you noted in the Mac's menu bar prior to putting it to sleep.
    Make note of that exact time in hours, minutes, and seconds.
    Next: Clear the filter field by clicking the x in the above screenshot. It should then look like this:
    All previously displayed log entries will reappear.
    Next: Find the log entry that corresponds exactly to the time you noted in hours, minutes, and seconds containing the words "previous sleep cause". You may have to scroll up or down a considerable distance. When you find that line, select it and drag your cursor up and prior to the entry corresponding to the approximate time you noted before putting the Mac to sleep. This will result in a selection of perhaps 50 to 100 lines or so.
    One or more of them, along with their time stamps, may reveal the reason for the fifteen second delay.
    Copy and paste those log entries in a reply.
    Most of the entries will be cryptic but will contain information you might consider personal such as your Mac's name. If you do not want that information to appear, delete or obscure it when posting your reply. Leave enough information so that the entries can be deciphered.

  • My numerical keys are not giving me numbers, but instead some are producing the symbols of other keys, e.g. when I press 5 I get [..??

    I accidentally spilt a little bit of water on my keypad yesterday, but I dried it all off straight away and all my keys were working fine.  This morning my number keys suddenly stopped working, I freaked out thinking that it was because of the water yesterday but then I realised that about half an hour before they stopped working, they were working because I used the 1 and 2.  I got the keyboard viewer up to work out which keys were not working, and discovered that the number keys were not producing numbers but other symbols when typed. However now, I don't know whether I have done something else because now I can't even get other symbols when I press keys 1-9!
    I've tried rebooting, and checking all the setting in system preferences.
    Any help would be great!!!

    Hello Rdmusale,
    I understand that some of the keys are not working on your notebook computer, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    To correct the output of characters from your keyboard, I recommend following this document on Notebook Keyboard Troubleshooting (Windows 8). This should help correct how the keys appear on your keyboard.
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

  • Why do I get a popping sound when I press play and stop?

    I hope this is an easy answer for someone. When I press the play or stop button I get a loud popping noise (same with space bar). I want to use AA to play sound clips over on air radio and this would ne an obvious problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    It's almost certainly exactly that...I get the same effect when I do a quick playback via my laptop's internal card rather than hooking up my Firewire stuff.  Going through and laboriously adjusting things on the Windows Sound control panel will stop it--but, alas, watching a video or listening to some kind of playback on the net can instantly reset the internal card to something different again.
