Palm tx only works with charger plugged in

My palm tx only works when plugged into ac charger. Symptoms began after I left device unused for about 2 weeks. When plugged in I get the battery charging symbol. The battery icon says 100%. As soon as I unplug charger, the device dies. I have left plugged in for 2.5 hrs and still won't work when I unplug. I have tried hard reset with no improvement.
Do I need new battery?
thanks

One last ditch effort - plug in to the charger, and press the Reset button. Let the TX go through a soft reset and let it charge for a few hours.
If still no joy, then yes it sounds like your battery has reached the end of its useful life.
Many places online will repair it for you, or let you purchase a battery and DIY. Check out directfix.com for a repair video on the TX.

Macbook only works with charger plugged in

Not been on my macbook for a week however I realised I left it on sleep for the week... When I have gone to put it on charge it won't charge up and only stays on if the adapter is plugged in?! I really need to get this sorted as I use it a lot for work and on the go

Have you tried resetting the System Management Controller? That is a good first step for power related issues such as this.
What is the status of your battery? Look in the System Profiler (Apple menu > About this Mac > More Info) under Power. If it says the battery needs replacing, you should do so.
Best of luck.

Playbook only works with charger or USB cable despite batter showing 100% charge

After 2 years of faithful service, playbook only works with charger or USB cable despite batter showing 100% charge. As soon as the cable/charger is unplugged, it just switches off. When cable is plugged in again, and start button pressed, it reboots. I have reinstalled sftwer from scrathc via Desktop Manager, but the problem persists. I saw this problem raised in the fora several times, but never any explanation why it happens. Any ideas?
Solved!

A high resistance between battery lead and motherboard would allow trickle charge but not power discharge.
If you want to risk it, prise off the back of the playbook using an old credit card, locate the two screws holding on the battery lead, remove, clean up, then replace. replace back carefully as the antennae connectors are pressure pads.

BATTERY PROBLEMS: Laptop Only Works With Charger

**My laptop now only works if it is connected to the charger. The second the charger falls out, the laptop shuts off.
** I have a white macbook..
**Any advice??**

Once i disconnect my macbook, with the battery charged, it stays one for awhile then it just shuts down. then i turn it back on and sometimes shuts down in middle of the start up screen =/. its like the random shuts are coming back or something...its really getting annoying.
recalibrating or resetting the PRAM or whatever isnt gonna do anything

Computer only working with charger?

My roommate spilt water on my computer which got onto my charger. At first it wouldn't do anything, now however, i can use my computer with my charger - but only with my charger- as soon as it's unplugged the computer turns off. What could be the problem? how can it be fixed? and what as an estimation of cost?
Thanks for the help.

Hello,
You need to take the Mac in for service. We can't estimate the cost of such repairs here on the forums. Try and Apple store or an Apple reseller. If the charger was damaged in anyway from moisture, and you use it with your Mac, you could damage the disk, the logic board... and that would be more $$$$... have it looked at.

My sound says I have headphones plugged into my iPad, when I don't. Also sound only works with headphones plugged in

I have tried turning my iPad on and off (3 times!!!), I have tried cleaning the headphone thing (where it's plugged in), and I have tried plugging in and unplugging my headphones. Please help me I am frustrated

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

What's wrong with my MacBook, it only works when its plugged in to the wall charger

my MacBook only works when its plugged in with the wall charger. What's wrong with it? it the problem fixable ?

Marina -
What Kappy said, or maybe your Battery charging cable is faulty, or something's happened to the input slot.
I'd take it to Apple and have them troubleshoot it for you.

Working with laptop plugged in?

Apparently, it's bad for battery life to work with my Macbook Pro plugged in. I work with it plugged in after it dies from being drained, and almost ALWAYS when I play Sims3 because it brings the fan up because of the graphics use.
Is it bad, good, or nothing at all?

But in the unibody MBPs, the battery is quite effectively isolated from the major heat-producing components of the machine. Charging itself is the only operation that significantly heats the battery, and the charging process is controlled to limit that (which is why it takes a long time to charge the battery). When the battery is fully charged, charging stops, and the battery is allowed to remain cool until charging begins again when the charge level falls below 95%. So there is no harm at all in leaving the AC adapter connected 90-95% of the time. Just be sure to run the machine on battery power for an hour or two every day or two, as Apple says, "to keep the electrons moving."

My sound on my MacBook Pro laptop only works with headphones. How do I get the internal speakers to work?

My sound will only work when I plug in headphones in the jack. When I take them out, the volume button is on mute. When I go into the sound preference it says Digital Out for the output. Sometimes I get a red light when the headphone jack is at. I have tried blowing in it and have put the jack in and taken it out numerous times to see if it will reset. Nothing. Any suggestions on what to do next?

Go step by step and test.
1.Plug in and remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
2. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222
    Do this twice
3. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:     "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
Best.

I had an iphone 4s and it worked nice with facetime and imessage using my phone number but it was stolen on December so I buy a new iphone 4s using the same cellphone number but now imessage and facetime does not work with my number, it only works with my apple ID. Please Help me I speak Spanish so if my English is not ok I´m sorry about it.
Do you think that apple has to reset in their database of the old serial number attached with my phone number and that’s why I can´t activate imessage and facetime with my number in the new iphone 4s??

I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more. I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.
Your points are true; however it doesn't help me......

Can I connect my iPad mini to a data projector using a lightning to 30-pin adapter connected to a 30-pin to VGA connector? Or will this only work with a lightning to VGA connector.

Can I connect my iPad mini to a data projector using a lightning to 30-pin adapter connected to a 30-pin to VGA connector? Or will this only work with a lightning to VGA connector?

The lightning to 30 pin adapter does not support video as per the item description in the Apple online store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter
This adapter lets you connect devices with a Lightning connector to many of your 30-pin accessories.* Supports analog audio output, USB audio, as well as syncing and charging. Video output not supported.
You will need to the Lightning to VGA adapter directly
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD825ZM/A/lightning-to-vga-adapter?fnode=3a
Or the Lightning Digital AV Adapter

If the projector supports HDMI input.

MBPro 17 Intel Core 2 Duo Audio only works with the headphones?

MBPro 17 Intel Core 2 Duo Audio only works with the headphones?
There is a red light constantly emitting from the headphone socket?
I can not listen to sound unless headphones are plugged in - when taken out I get a red light and the volume controls kets seem locked?
Please help!

Hi Kitty.
Seems to be quite a popular problem. In another post, I posted the following.
"The red light is the data signal that is transmitted if you plug in an Optical Audio device such as surround sound speakers. I had the same problem for a short while with my 17' MBP. Sound was working fine from my built in speakers but I plugged in some earphones to listen to something that I did not want the rest of the office to hear and after pulling the hearphones out, the optical signal (red light) was being transmitted. The switch Cessna is referring to is the switch that is triggered inside the port that tells OSX that earphones/optical audio device is plugged in and to shut down power to the built in speakers. When the device is un-plugged from that port, the switch should get triggered again and power up the built in speakers and disable the optical light signal. Perhaps there is the slightest defect on the earphones you are plugging in that are preventing it from triggering the switch when the earphones are un-plugged.
Try a different sent of earphones to maybe trigger the switch if you are uncomfortable with the paper clip solution."
That seemed to solve the problem for that user.

I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store for the full amount, but it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T

Hello,
I have an iPhone 4S 32Gb White AT&T, product part No. MC921LL/A, Serial No. C39GMLPWDTDC
I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store (from Fifth Avenue, NY) for the full amount. Now it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T. I restored the phone several times, but I have not received "Congratulations your iPhone has been unlocked". Please activate my iPhone to work with different SIM cards
Thanks,
Best Wishes

When did you buy it?
Apple did not begin selling an unlocked version of the iPhone 4S in the US until 11/11/11. I believe it went on sale only through the online store at that time. I'm not sure if it's available at retail yet.
What you purchased was a phone without a contract commitment. It is still locked to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason. Return it and get your money back, then use that to purchase an unlocked phone.
