Pavilion G6 won't startup/bootup

Hello! My name is Cole, this is the first time I've ever used this forum, but my HP Pavilion G6 recently stopped working. I was watching a video on YouTube and the laptop just shutoff without a warning. Now when I press the power button nothing happens, no powerbutton light, no charger light, nothing. This happened around 3 days ago. I've already tried holding the power button down for 30 seconds-1 minute but that had no effect. I'm almost positive it has something to do with my motherboard... any help/suggestions? Thanks!

HP Pavilion DV2500 won't turn on

I'm posting this out of desperation, hoping that someone out there can offer some advice. My wife's HP Pavilion DV2500 won't turn on. When I press the power button, the blue "power LED" comes on (as do the blue lights under the DVD controls and the "harddisk LED" flashes once... the computer fan whirrs into action, but then nothing happens. The screen is always black, nothing appears on the screen. I've tried removing the battery and holding the power button for 60 seconds. I've tried turning it on with the power cord and battery both in, just the power cord no battery, just the battery no power cord, etc. It doesn't make any difference - doesn't power on with any of those configurations. I've also tried unscrewing the panel on the bottom and removing one RAM chip, leaving the other in. Then putting it back and removing the other. Then removing them both. Again, it doesn't make any difference - doesn't power on with any of those configurations. (FYI, the blue light around the AC adapter does light up blue when the AC adapter is plugged in... so that's not the problem) Any tips? The computer is out of warranty, and I'm living in France. It's nearly three years old, so it's probably not worth the labor costs of taking it to a service center. I'm happy to open it up and try to fix it myself - unless it involves a soldering iron! Please... any advice much appreciated.... thank you!!

I hadn't used my my DV2500 for about a week. Last night I switched it on no problem downloaded and installed the MS updates ok.About 15 mins later the machine switched off with no warning, and it was connected to the mains, so no power issues.I started the machine up again which started loading Windows Vista Home Premium. during startup it switched off again.I started machine again and message stated Windows Start up repair recommended which I proceeded to do, another message appeared stating that Windows needed to be repaired, so I bit the bullet and decided to reinstal the o/s from the factory image. The machine loaded the Windows files and started to format error message appeared stating corrupt windows file and that I should load the recovery disc which I did. I rebooted the machine from the disc, started to format again and the machine switched off again. All that happens now when I switch on are the blue lights come on. I cannot access the bios or anything, it will not boot up from the disc, just pretty blue lights!I now have a machine that has no o/s pretty blue lights and a blank black screen.From reading the other posts it seems like a motherboard problem.Ideas anyone? p/n KC453UA#ABA

Installed helpdesk to sles11sp1 vmware and won't startup

Hi,
I installed the service desk to sles11sp1 for vmware and it won't startup.
I am also running zenworks configuration mgmt 11 RC3 on the same server.
I installed with:
java -install install.jar -console
When prompted for a port I took the default 8700. It gave me a null and then prompted for a 1 to continue. So I selected 1 and continued.
If I http://ip:8700 I get nothing.
If I netstat -a -n|grep 8700 I get nothing.
What do I need to do to get this to work? Also I thought I could get this service desk integrated with zenworks configuration management?

Firefox won't startup. Icon bounces once then stops. Mac G5 Mac OS 10.5.8 Was OK now it isn't.

Firefox won't startup so I can get to its preferences, profiles or anything else for that matter. This happens every time I try to start it up. I've recently reloaded my system software and transfered my systems settings from a backup hard drive that Time Machine (Mac app.) saved.

Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac.
Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

2nd Gen iPad Mini stopped working yesterday. Won't startup under and configuration and is not recognized by my iMac.

2nd Gen iPad Mini stopped working yesterday. Won't startup under and configuration and is not recognized by my iMac. I believe it upgraded itself to iOS 8 (????)

Hey Kenneth,
So it sounds as if your iPad is not responding at all when you try to turn it on, is that correct? If so, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
If you get it to start up and it is still not recognized by iTunes on your Mac, use the steps in this article to troubleshoot that issue -
If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Happy computing,

I was using my MacBook Pro Mid-2010 and then the screen went blank, I did a hard restart and went to restart again and it won't startup. The white light comes on and then the computer kinda "clicks" off!

My TC won't startup with ethernet cables connected.

It will start up fine w/out ethernet cables, but with ethernet, it won't startup. I have two wired connections, my thunderbolt display/mbp and my cannon printer.
It will sit with amber light solid.
When I disconnect the two ethernet cables, it will startup fine. Then I connect the two cables and everything is good.
This is a new from apple store today 2tb TC. It's taken about 2 hours to get it setup until now I've figured out the ethernet cable issue. Is there a fix? I'm probably going to exchange it tomorrow or in the next couple of days if there's no fix provided.

Well, it's working fine today. I'll continue to try it over the next couple of days and if it happens more, I'll take it back for an exchange. It happend quite a few times last night.
I have apple care for my mbp, so this should be covered on it. About 1.5 years left.
Thanks.
I'll update this post if I end up needing to exchange it.

My G4 AGP won't startup after turning on firewire target disk mode

Can any one help me on this? I have a G4 AGP Graphics Mac running 10.4.11.
I turned on firewire target disk mode in the startup utilities to transfer files to my G5. The G4 started up in Firewire just fine and I could open it up as a drive on my G5, but the problem now is that the G4 won't startup in anything but firewire mode.
So my question is: How do you shut off the firewire target disk mode? I have tried all the keyboard commands at startup and inserted the Tiger install disk and holding the C key, but nothing will let me get me passed the Firewire Icon at startup.
Any help would be appeciated, Thanks.

The battery is charging.

It sounds like your hard drive is bad. If you can see it in Disk Utility you may still be able to get your files off of it. If you have one of the MacBooks with the removable battery it's very easy to put in a new hard drive.
Here's instructions on replacing your hard drive http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=45088
To buy a hard drive try Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Hard-Dr ives
Here's a cheap SATA external hard drive case on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-2-5-SATA-HDD-HARD-DRIVE-EXTERNAL-ENCLOSURE-CASE-BOX-/120 636286623?pt=PCC_Drives_Storage_Internal&hash=item1c167ba69f
Put your old hard drive in an external case and after you've formatted your new hard drive and installed your operating system on it plug in your old hard drive and see if it is recognized by the new system. If so then transfer whatever files you want to the new hard drive

HP Pavilion Entertainment won't start just shows blue screen

HP Pavilion Entertainment won't start just shows blue screen. Sometimes says missing operating system after changing boot order. I have seen error message 303. This happened after I couldn't stop coolncheap popups so I saved everything to another computer and did a complete restore. When I was in the process of getting it back to working order I allowed updates recommended and optional and then everything started.

Also pressing F11 won't take me to recovery

Kernal Panic after update to 10.4.6/Missing HD Space/Won't Startup from DVD

Sorry to lump three problems together, but they may all be related.
First - I was getting random Kernal Panics while at 10.4.5, so I attempted to update to 10.4.6. The computer wouldn't even come close to starting up. I got a screen full of Kernal Panic info. I reinstalled Tiger 10.4.3, and that's where the system stands now. It's running fine.
Second - My computer suddenly announced that the startup drive was out of disk space. I looked and the window said 30g. I closed the window and opened it again only to see it at zero k. I dumped some items to get some disk space, but now I can't get my 30g back.
Third - I want to startup from the Tiger disk like I did when I reinstalled, but it won't startup from the DVD. I'd like to run Disk Repair on the main hard drive. It showed some errors when I ran a Test using the Disk Utility.
I'm hoping this is all related. The computer seems to be running fine, but I can't update or find my missing space. Any advice I can get on these issues would be appreciated. Thanks.
Jon

Is your computer saving a panic.log after each of the kernel panics? You can see by opening Console (in /Applications/Utilities) and looking for it. I'm not at my Mac now, so I can't tell you under what section to look for that log.
When you try to boot from the CD, are you holding down the 'C' key as the computer reboots? You can also try rebooting with the Option key pressed, which will present you with a list of bootable volumes. It will also give you access to the Apple Hardware Test (if this is the DVD that came with the computer). If you can select the Apple Hardware Test, I'd recommend doing the Extended Test, which will test the hardware, including the RAM.
For the disappearing disk space, you could have some process that is going bezerk and filling up the log files. In any event, to see where you disk space is being used, download and run Omni DiskSweeper.

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Boot from your install disc, run Disk Utility in case the G5 disk needs repairs.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
If you cannot boot from your install disc, try booting in Safe Mode
What is Safe Mode

Early 2009 suddenly shuts down or won't startup

Hi, I've recently been having some problems with my mac pro 2009. It will suddenly shut down and won't restart or if left for a while won't startup.
Sometimes if I press the power button it will sort of startup but then suddenly turn off during the initial powerup (before the screen turns on).
I brought it in for repair and they replace the power supply, called apple and end the end they said they reset something on the motherboard but couldn't really find what was wrong... Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?

Hi Phil,
Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?
I hate to be blunt, Phil, but the real solution is to get Apple to give you a replacement. You're within your rights as a consumer to have a perfectly working Macintosh. Most of us do. I haven't read a bad report on these machines yet, but if it's not working right then something is wrong.
Good luck.
Steve

Won't startup freezing

My iMac desktop computer won't startup anymore... Was freezing up intermittently lately, but now it gets stuck on the grey Apple logo.
I tried reinstalling OSX and no change. There are no abnormal sounds coming from it either. I am currently running the extended hardware test after reading the troubleshooting manual that came with the computer by inserting the original system disk1 in the drive and holding down the D key while powering on.
It has been running for about 6 minutes now and is almost 1/2 way done. Any ideas??? Suggestions???? Would be a great help.
Thank you in advance

And I can't find it. I'm going to leave it off and unplugged until the morning. We'll see what happens then. If nothing, I may be making an impromptu drive to the Apple Store.
