Palm T/X will still not turn on after replacing bad battery! Help!

Have had this Palm T/X since December '07 and when it was working I had absolutely no problems or issues. One day at work, I noticed that it felt unusually hot in my pocket and found that it had been switched on accidently and who knows how long it had been running. I had to hit reset to get it to respond and turn off. Got home to recharge it and it has never turned on since. That was about 8 months ago.
I took it in to a reputable dealer and had the battery changed. The tech related to me that the old battery was shorted out and non functional. Unfortunetly even with the new battery and sitting on the charger for hours it is not responding to the power switch nor to any attempt at a hard or soft reset. What can cause this? Is my T/X dead forever? Now this was a gift so I'm not afraid to invest in some replacement parts, I just need to appeal to those more knowledgable to brainstorm some other potential injuries! Thank you in advance for your time and suggestions!
Post relates to: Palm TX

I would suggest you talk with the reputable dealer about the problem - it sounds like the problem lay deeper than just the battery!
From this side of the computer screen, we have no way of telling what went wrong!
Water damage, physical damage from being dropped/flexed, plugged into a higher voltage than recommended, we just can't guess, sorry!

HT4623 IPhone 5S will not turn on after newest update. HELP!

Hey all,
I agreed to update my IPhone5s last evening and went to bed. Now the phone is off and will not turn on. Any suggestions?

Try this:
Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, try the reset again as described above.

Trackpad Still not working right after replacement

I've recently been having issues with my trackpad on my Macbook Pro, i took it to the apple store last week and they replaced it due to it not registering physical clicks what so ever. However, although a new trackpad was issued/replaced and the problem is slightly better, the trackpad is still not working/registering physical clicks in several areas, anyone got any tips? I also can't really afford to go back to the store again at the moment, however i do have Apple Care which may open more windows for me?
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You might try a SMC reset:

If no joy, call Apple on the phone and tell them the situation. They will try to troubleshoot it over the phone and should be able to advise you as to what to do.
Good luck!

Apple wireless keyboard not turning on after replacing batteries.

Yesterday, I got a message telling me that my battery was low in my keyboard. So, today I replaced the batteries (new) but my keyboard won't turn on at all! Please help!

Does the green light not come on?
Bad batteries or batteries inserted wrong, that's about all there is.

My iPhone 3GS screen is not turning on after replacement..

Maybe because I left the phone on whilst repairing, what should I do?

Fix for screen problems is Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart. Usually about 10 seconds of holding both buttons.
If screen remains black, and is not the "No Backlight Problem", you may need to carefully reseat Flex Cable #1 to the Logic Board. As you now know with iPhone 3GS, make sure it is OFF before opening and during repair.

Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time.

Battery drained while computer in use. Plugged in and computer will not turn on. Does the battery need to reach a certain charge level first? Battery is 3 months old.

The battery drained while using the computor so we pluged it in but computor will still not fully turn on.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Hold the Power button for about 5 seconds to turn off the Mac (it may be turned on), and then, press it again. If it doesn't work, reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If nothing works, take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller to get your computer repaired. Also, if you have its charger connected to the computer, is the charger light turned on?

First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
Restoring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer

TA44551 My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work.

My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work. I tried to restore it again and charged it in three different locations with different cables. etc but nothing. Suggestions?

- After charging for 1/2 hour or so, does iTunes see the iPod? If yes, restore the iPod from backup.
- If no, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

I bought a second hand G4 iBook with iLife 09 on it. I have copied iLife to my new Macbook Pro. The applications would not open, so I did a software update and update all three applications, but they will still not open. Can anyone help?

The seller should have given you the original disk so that you can reinstall as needed. But it likely was a single-user license (which really means single computer) so you can only have a copy on one computer at a time. If the seller didn't give you the disk he is probably still using the software on his new Mac. Your best option to get any of the iWork apps to use in OS X 10.6.6 or later is through the Mac App Store. You can then install them on any Mac you have that has access to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID.

Iphone 4, purhcased 4/12, reluctant to turn on after fully expended battery in the past, now will not power on, communicate w/ itunes, tried restore -error 3194, then error 1600. help me please...do I have a warranty?

I purchased an Iphone 4 in April of 2012. I always keep it on and charge it every night. I have had some trouble turning, a couple of times, in the past. It was simply reluctant to turn on after allowing the battery to be completely expended and has behaved the same way after being manually turned off. I have again allowed the battery to completly die and turn off the phone. This time it will not turn on at all. I have tried various combinations of pressing and holding home and power to no avail. I plugged it in to the computer, but Itunes will not recognize it as my phone. Itunes is labeling it "Iphone" and has requested that I restore the phone in order to use it with Itunes. Itunes states that "has detected an Iphone in recovery mode". I, reluctantly, attempted to restore the phone. After waiting quite a while on a "software update" to download, it said preparing Iphone for restore and then said "unable to restore Iphone, unknown error - 3194". I read, online, that I needed the most recent version of itunes in order to restore. So I upgraded Itunes and restarted the compluter. On the second, and all subsequent attempts to complete the restoration, I am prompted with a message stating "unable to restore IPhone, unknown error - 1600". My computer also attempted, and I believe, successfully, installed new device driver software for iphone4 (DFU mode). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Also is my phone, purchased 4/12, under any service or replacement warranty. I truly feel it should be easier to turn on and I did not even want to restore the phone, I just need to use it.
Thank you,
Geoffrey

I am reading on this site about the error I am getting and it wants me to change some files that I am not comfortable messing with. Mainly because it is like a foreign language. Will the store do this for me or tell me if it is neccessary?

For unknown reasons iTunes will no longer open. I have an HP laptop running windows 7 with Kaspersky protection. It worked fine before but now won't open. I tried downloading the most recent up-date and it will still not open. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the reply with additional information.
Recent history for Premiere Elements points to the program having problems when more than 1 video card/graphics card is
being used by the computer on which Premiere Elements is running. This observation may seem contra indicated by the fact
that you say that the program did work well about 2 years ago in the same setup. But other factors may have set in with regard
to drivers, drivers versions, and driver conflicts. But this factor, does need to be ruled in or out.
Can you disable one or the other card to determine the impact of this on your problem?
But, of prime concern with regard to video card/graphics card is the use of a NVIDIA GeForce card with Premiere Elements 10.
Even if your NVIDIA GeForce were the only card, Premiere Elements 10 will not work properly unless the NVIDIA GeForce driver
version is rolled back to about May 2013. This may be one of the major factors here.
a. Device Manager/Display Adapters and find out Driver Version and Driver Date
b. Read the background information for the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE10: NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
Also see the Announcement at the top of this forum regarding the matter - also with full details of the situation and how to fix with the
driver version roll back.
Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
Thanks.
ATR
Add On...This NVIDIA GeForce situation is specific for Premiere Elements 10. You should not expect to see the problem for
later versions of Premiere Elements.
