[Paranoia] About completely dead Z10

Hi all, every day I read this forum and I see a lot of posts about completely dead z10 while there is no reason why this has happened and it has me a worried. My question is: What is actually the reason for this? If it is defective phones - approximately what percentage of defective phones? I'm worried because have absolutely no warranty on my Z10 (Russia). Forgive me if this question is silly, I'm really paranoid.

I don't think you really have to be more paranoid about your BlackBerry than if you would have an iPhone or an Android based phone. There is always a way to fix it. If you have any issues you need help with, you'll most likely find someone on this forum to help you.

Hi, I'm not sure if every Off problem is the same...
I would call Apple Corp or visit the Local Genius Bar......
Apple do care about pre 5s iPhone owners, give them a chance to help You..

By reboot do you mean pressing and holding both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (after which the Apple logo should appear) ?
If you can't get the iPad to switch on then you won't be able to update its iOS version

IPod 40 gb click wheel completely dead!

I bought an iPod (40gb click wheel) in September 2004 for the grand sum of £299 – so it isn’t even 2 years old! It has totally died. Firstly in June it refused to be identified by my Dell computer; then it corrupted a part of the software in my computer which identifies my DVD/CD drive. I had that fixed by Dell – thank goodness it didn’t do any further damage! As a result of not being recognised by my computer I was unable to add additional tunes to it. The iPod was still working but then started to make lots of noises. It then stopped working altogether and produced the folder with!. I phoned the support line in early July and was told that there are several articles on the web site which could help – I followed the recommendations and it still continued to try to re-boot itself. I was also told that getting it fixed would cost me £166 as the one year warranty had run out !!!! (Surely it should last longer than that – also I can buy something new which is more reliable for less than that!) The last stage was the final appearance of the apple logo, a black screen and now it is completely dead. It refuses to charge up with the battery and I’m absolutely livid. It doesn’t warrant being fixed. I hearby plan to return this lump of rubbish to Apple as I was on the verge of throwing it away but didn’t want to pollute the environment with whatever nasties lie within.

I've got the same problem mate. The clickwheel started to ge dead in places like around skip forward track area, (which was annoying to say the least.) But the other day it completely died, now it tries to start up showing the apple logo, then you can hear inside the hardrive spin up then a loud click then it tries this again about 5 times before showing the support website.
Ive probably had the ipod for about 2 years.
Annyoing since its a 40gb ipod and i've barely filled up 13gb. I might take it into see what the shop says but i sort of know its gonna be not worth repairing. Plus the video ipods are looking really good.

I updated my 4s to ios7 and the phone is now completly dead. I tried to restore it with the new itunes but it won't restore. If you can't get the download be glad! Anyone have any ideas other than going out and buying a new Samsung phone?

I updated my 4s to ios7 and the phone is now completly dead. I tried to restore it with the new itunes but it won't restore. If you can't get the download be glad! Anyone have any ideas other than going out and buying a new Samsung phone? I don't really need a paper weight.

No not jailbroken. After the update which took about 45 minutes. The phone went black. Dead. Wouldn't restart. Using the new itunes I tried to restore it. It went through the motions; the white Apple and progress bar appeared on the iphone screen. Then I got a message "Itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. You must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes." Then the phone went completly dead again. I Repeated the process and got the same results. Is there another way to restore the phone if it's dead, besides itunes?

My Iphone 4s shuts off once it drops below 20% battery as if its completely dead. Before the update it would stay on until at least 5% or less.

I have updated my phone to the most recent but now my phone will randomly shut off after it drops below about 20% battery life... tonight I was at 21% and it shut off as if it was completely dead. Yesterday it died completely at 13%. It doesn't turn back on until it is plugged in and sometimes it will pop back on immediately after being plugged in. Is there a way to fix this or does another small update to fix this have to come out?

I have the same issue. I think it may be related to cold weather. I am now inside writing this without plugging it in immediately after it repeatedly shut off outside with ~18% battery. This is really bad. It almost left me stranded as I was expecting to call for a ride.

Depending on where you are located, country, region, etc, you may have options should
you wish to have it professionally restored or repaired to function properly again...
Even an Apple Store with Genius bar could, in several locations, give the product a look
and perhaps be able to diagnose the underlying issues. However that varies with the
degree of failed components and what is really wrong with it. A battery and a new HDD
could be all that's wrong with it. A diagnostic is often free, even on out-of-warranty Mac
at the Apple Store genius bar; an appointment is advised.
However if you only wanted someone to extract the hard disk drive and attach it to
a 'universal USB drive adapter kit' so at to try and access any readable files on it,
that is something that could be done at an Apple Authorized service provider; as
some of them may even have a section of resale products such as this adapter kit.
An example of this kind of kit includes wires, adapter parts, & a separate power supply
so it can be used to run the hard drive's electronics. This is not intended for permanent
use, but works like a set of patch cables to access the bare drive without an enclosure.
https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Mac/Universal-Drive-Adapter/IF107-108-1
Another kit example says it'd work with almost any HDD or SSD of several build types:

Companies that specialize in restoring Apple portable computers can give you an estimate
on a repair and the good ones can do that without a fee; they will not start a repair after they
see the computer until you get the estimate, and approve of the repair. If other items are
found to be of interest requiring other work or parts, they will also contact you, again before
continuing. One of these kinds of companies I know about (half a hemisphere away) is in
the eastern US, and worth inquiring of even if you are overseas. wegenermedia.com.
While I have no connection with any of these products or service suggestions, they do have
some variety of good reputation (ifixit.com has DIY repair guides; macsales has parts, etc.)
in standing, among many Mac users across a section of the planet...
Any concerns about the data on the hard disk drive should be able to be answered by a
local Apple independent; they also should have the universal USB drive adapter locally.
Not sure if I answered your inquiry, but there are different ways of approaching this matter.
Good luck & happy computing!

Lenovo K920 Vibe Z2 4G completely dead - Any help?

Hi Everyone
Bought Chinese version Lenovo K920 Vibe Z2 4G after 1 hour of use its completely dead - Any help?
Many Thanks,
James

So is what your saying that nothing can be done about me not being able to update it at all?
If you're referring to OTA updating....No,you won't be able to OTA update with the current(custom/modified) firmware/ROM.
Hypothetically speaking if you were to OTA update your phone would revert(not downgrade) to the original stock Chinese firmware(NO Google services/not allowed in CN,only EN&CN ,a lot of Chinese apps... ).
.....to update it at all?
In way or another you'll always be dependent on custom firmwares,root acces,etc....
If you currently don't have any major bugs/issues I suggest to leave it as it is for the moment and consider flashing(at own risk) a new firmware when a stable Android 5(Lollipop) custom firmware comes out.As far as I know there isn't any stable K920 Android 5 firmware available ....yet.
Hope this helps.

Help! :( iPhone 4 completely dead.

Hey guys..so yesterday my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1) went completely dead. Still had a full battery and I set it down for a couple of minutes and when I picked it back up again it wouldn't turn on. I plugged the charger back and still nothing happened. I made my trip to the apple store and made an apt with the genius bar and they couldn't even solve the problem. I've tried doing the hard reset multiple times, from 20 seconds to about 60 and still nothing. Can anyone help me figure this out and fix it? I'd have to pay $149 or $199 to replace it and frankly I think that's not right since I had nothing to do with it malfunctioning. Any help would be grand! xx

There's nothing much anyone here can do about it. If they told you at the Apple Store that you would have to pay for a replacement because it's out of warranty, then that's what you'll have to do. It doesn't matter whether or not you had anything to do with it. The warranty is 1 year. If that's expired, you have to pay. Just like any other warranty on anything you buy.

My iPhone 4S was completely dead

My iPhone was completely dead because I fell asleep at a low percentage. SO naturally I plugged it in when I woke up. I check my phone about 10-15 minutes later and my phone is at 60%. I unplugged it and it seems to be acting normal
But is this something I should get checked?

Hello there, Halatar.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great information regarding battery life and improving performance:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1476
Particularly:
About battery life and the battery
Battery life and number of charge cycles vary by use and settings. Find more information about batteries foriPhone and iPod.
Find information on how long the battery is expected to last between charges.
Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Ipod classic completely dead?

My 80GB Ipod classic is completely frozen. It was fine, plugged into a speaker dock and then I got a new speaker dock and put it on and it immediately died. I can't do the "5 R's" because I can't get any response from it at all, the screen is completely black. It isn't showing up in Itunes or in Windows. Is the battery dead or something more serious? If it is a dead battery how do I go about replacing it?
Thanks!

okay looks like i got mine sorted out.
I had my ipod classic charged and believed the battery to be almost full when i tried to turn it on. like yours, no response and completely dead. i plugged it in and left it for 10 mins...nothing! not even a charging sign on the screen. then i heard if the battery is completely dead you may need to charge if for an hour or so before it comes back to life - thats what i did and its back to life.
if yours is still not working prob a battery problem - you can send it to ipod to replace the battery or you can buy them online and change them yourself (look it up in google)

My iPhone 4 is completely dead. How do I get it on?

My iPhone 4 is completely dead. I've tried everything I can think of but it won't turn on. It had been working ok until I shut it down at night and in the morning I couldn't get it to turn back on. Is there a way I can get it back on or is it completely shot? Thanks.

It was working fine, the battery was about 75%. It completely shut down on its own (black screen), no error messages. Now I cannot get it to come back on. If I plug it into iTunes nothing show up. It acts like the battery is totally dead, but I'm sure it's not.
When I hold down the home and power buttons nothing happens.

My iMac wouldn't turn on. This has happened out of nowhere, it was working really well before. checked my power cord and outlets everything's fine. The iMac has no power at all. no sound or anything, completely dead. It is only 1 year and 2 mos old.

I have purposely been ignoring your responses to my posts about the heat issues in the newer design iMacs, but if you want really want to ague the point...
First, the iMac is marketed as a desktop model Mac. Not a laptop or MacBook.
I have never owned a MacBook, so I can't attest to how much heat the MacBooks generate.
I Have two iMac models. A 2009, 27 inch screen iMac for myself. And a 2010, 21.5 inch screen iMac for my Fiancée.
As a desktop Mac these are hottest running desktop Macs I have ever owned. Period. I owned two beige Macs, a pre-G3 tower, aG3 desktop, a G4 MDD Tower, the original iMac, eMac, iMac G4 and now my current iMacs.
None of my previous Macs have ever, EVER ran this hot. I have never, also, had any component failures in any of the previous Macs I have owned, either. All of my Macs have been upgraded or modded to some degree over the years. About 2 years ago I had to press my old G3 back into service. Both my G3 and G4 models have been heavily modded. The G3 ran without issue for a close friend for over a year until that friend went out a got a Mac Mini.
That's a 1996-97 Mac my friend. And it still is in working order and hasn't had any failures.
The fact I am pointing out here is that heat is an enemy to electronic components.
Whether desktop iMac or MacBooks, tightly packed enclosures of heat generating computer components with fans that do not run fast enough at most times to cool off the interior or exterior, will and does slow roast computer components to premature failure.
I do not know how frequent component failure is in the MacBook line up. So I can't attest to those.
I do not participate in those forums.
This is why at some point in computer history, Super Conputers were liquid cooled. PowerMac G5 systems were liquid cooled because they ran too hot!
I have taken my own precautions to keep my iMacs' heat down as much as possible.
I don't have the money to keep buying a new Mac every 3-5 years when some catastrophic failure happens.
I had to purchase my iMacs used as I couldn't afford the cost of a new iMac with the specs I needed.
My idea, your idea and Apple's idea of acceptable operating temps we can argue all day long.
I feel, personally, that the operating temps are too high and exacerbate operational issues.
I Have been participating in these particular iMac forums for just over a year and have seen plenty of posts of iMac component failures due to both heat and dust, dirt issues from within the iMac.
There can be no other reason for all of these failures. The SuperDrive is, usually, the first to go bad.
It's probably due more to its vertical mounting, but the excessive interior heat isn't helping it.
Next to fail is the GPU. The last to fail, but the most expensive to fix, the Logic Board.
I Have seen plenty of posts in my last year here of all of these failures in iMac less than 5 years old and ,perhaps, a little older. 2008 model iMacs seem to have their issues, too!
Apple is focusing too much on design and aesthetics, rather than longevity of their products, I feel now.
A Mac isn't going to last 7- 10 years anymore.
I don't have stats and numbers. Just common sense.
This is my story and I am sticking to it. For what it's worth.
