Please help!!! A1000-F won't turn back on
Both of my sons got the Lenovo Ideatab a1000-f as a gift. Within a few days of having them, one of my son's tablets turned off, while it was charging, and we couldn't get it to turn back on. We tried everything, but seeing as it was within the store's 14 day exchange period, we just exchanged it for a new one. Now here we are almost 2 months later and my other son's tablet has done the same thing. It is too late to exchange it at the store and I would like to see if anyone knows what to do before I cash in on the warranty that was purchased. When I long press the power button, the tablet vibrates very lightly for about 3 seconds then stops. If I long press the power button and the volume button at the same time, the tablet will vibrate for about 30-45 seconds and then will stop, but the tablet will not turn on. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I also had the same problem, my tablet just shutdown while charging. If I pressed volume buttons and the power button simultaneously then it vibrated for 30-45 seconds and if i pressed only power button then it vibrated for 1-2 seconds but nothing happened. Actually it is the problem of all devices running on this MTK chip. I thought that now my tablet is gone. But one day I thought of keeping it in charging and since afternoon I kept it in charging and charged it until next morning, and at my surprise it fired up and started to work normally once again. I suggest you also try to keep it in charging for 18-19 hours and see if it turns on. And yes don't press volume keys and power button simultaneously, by this device gets in some another mode.
Hope it helps.
You can say thank you by pressing the star left to my post IF I HELPED YOU

Please help iPhone 4S won't turn on!
Okay so this all happened months ago when ios7 came out. I tried to update my iPhone 4S software straight off of my phone in the settings to ios7 and it wouldn't work. So than I hooked my iphone up to my computer and went on iTunes and tried to update from there manually. Everything was working it said like 95% done updating but than it said this operation can't be done. Now, my iphone won't turn on, it goes to the connect to iTunes screen, but i don't know what to do I tried to connect it to iTunes and it didn't turn on. Please help I need this iphone to turn on!
Assuming your phone was never jailbroken, try the following:
Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer if it isn't there already from apple.com/itunes
Reboot your computer
Connect the phone to a USB 2 port directly on your computer, not to a USB hub. If it is a desktop or tower computer use a port on the back, not on the front
Disable your antivirus and firewall
Launch iTunes
Connect the USB cable to the computer, but not to the phone
On the phone hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons for EXACTLY 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP button but continue holding the HOME button - if an Apple logo appeared you held too long; the screen should be black when you release the SLEEP button.
While still holding the HOME button connect the end of the USB cable to the phone
Wait until iTunes acknowledges the phone, then release the HOME button.
The phone should now restore. If it doesn't note the error number and post back. -
Please Help! MBP Won't Turn On... T_T
So, my beloved MBP (2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo) finally bit the dust after years of service. Today, after work, when I press the power button, the sleep light turns on and I hear the faint sound of hard disk activation for a second. The screen stays black and there is never a startup chime. I've changed the RAM and hooked it up to an external monitor, but the monitor gets no signal and the MBP still does not turn on (same symptoms). After I leave it like this for 30+ minutes, nothing changes, but the laptop does get warm.
So, is the motherboard dead? Please help!!!Although the lack of a startup chime bodes of other things, it may well be worth taking in the computer with this Apple article in hand:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
Your MBP has the nVidea 8600M GT chipset that is the subject of the Apple Repair Extension Program (REP) that the article details. Apple Stores and AASPs have a test gadget that will determine if the nVidea chipset has failed. If it has, the repair is free to you for a period of four years from date of purchase whether you have AppleCare or not. The repair consists of installing a new logic board.
As you are in NYC, there should be an Apple Store nearby.
If they determine the chipset has not failed, then you have the option of asking for a "Depot Repair." This is a flat fee service that pretty much fixes anything they find wrong as long as the case does not show evidence of damage. The fee is around US$300--much cheaper than a new computer. I do not know if the replaced DVD drive will negate your qualification for this service.
One late-breaking thought: if you use headphones, can you here the startup chimes? -
Please help motherboard(s) won't turn on
After this story: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=161402.0
I know it was an asus, shame on me. I returned the Asus, and the pins were bent I believe in transport so no warranty and bought a new MSI Z77A-G45 motherboard. Assembled the system again. Still no luck
Action for 200ms en then dead again.. I was fearing for the pins on the motherboard, I thought maybe I'm an idiot and Im doing something wrong with connection the cpu. But the pins are not bent so that's not it. I removed everything just a bare board. Plug in the power supply and nothing. Same problem.
I don't believe all these boards are DOA. The changes of that are so minor. All I could think of next is the PSU. I connected the PSU to an older system boots just fine. Also just tried another PSU on this new motherboard.. same problem tries to go on but fails imminently.
I googled and saw that like I thought a motherboard without a cpu should atleast go on, and maybe beep that the cpu is missing. But it should turn on. In my case it doesn't.
Also when I plug the extra 4 pin next to the 24 pin connector on the motherboard it won't go on at all. Nothing nada, remove the 4 pin and it will try for a split second and die. (like stated above)
I'm totally lost in this and I humbly like to ask some advice. I know in my last topic I've been a bit harsh and msi bashing.
Btw, the supplier tested the first MSI board and found it dead as well. So somehow I dont think these problems are connected to the first MSI board.
THANKS for your time/input!Quote from: xmad on 04-September-12, 07:55:21
With all due respect, have you read through the manual that came with your motherboard?
If it wasn't included with your motherboard it can be downloaded here:
http://www.msi.com/service/download/manual-18064.html
Refer to page 25 in regards to Jpwr1 & Jpwr2
Re-install the mobo into your case after counting the stand offs and comparing them to the holes in the mobo after refering to page 24 of the manual.
Install 2 sticks of ram for dual channel operations as seen on page 26 of the manual.
Install your cpu and hook up BOTH jpwr1 & jpwr2 make sure you hook all 24 pins ups
Then hook up the case connectors (page 35-40)
Try to start it at this point/ w/o the discrete vga and let us know what happens. At worst with a bad cpu, it will spin up for a moment and enter a boot loop.
Ofcourse this isn't my setup as I started. I had it all wired up and connected. Inclusing memory, vga, ssd etc. But it wouldn't start, and from that point you start removing part after part to get to the point where it will start. In this case it won't. -

My iPhone 5s has just shut off and won't turn back on. Please help?
I was just chatting on a app and the phone just froze, went to a white screen with the apple trade mark. Then it completely shut off and wouldn't turn back on. I tried charging it and it still won't turn back on.
Thanks for the advice but I've tried this it hasn't worked. I've held down both buttons together for more than a minute. Do I have to hold them down longer than this?

IPhone 5s shut itself off shortly after unplugging charger. Won't turn back on. Help!
I charged it for 15 mins, unplugged it, set an alarm, and 5-7 minutes later the screen was black and won't turn back on. The case/phone is still hot, and it still won't turn on after 2 hours. It hasn't cooled at all either, and my AC is blaring in this house.
When can I expect it to turn back on? That is, if it's even off at all.... Is there a reset button-pattern I can push to expedite the process? Is there anything I can do?
Should I just make an appointment for the Genius Bar? Help!Hi MeMDz97,
If you are having issues with your iPhone powering off unexpectedly you may want to follow the steps in this article for troubleshooting -
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
In particular this section -
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

My battery was fully charged. The notice for an update came up so I told it to start. Then the phone shut off and won't turn back on. When I plug it back in, I can hear it "revving" but it still won't turn on. Any ideas?
Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not work, try to connect in recovery mode, explained here:

The other day when I was listening to my ipod touch, it flashed red, said that it was out of charge, and turned off. It won't turn back on, and it won't charge when I plug it into my computer. I've tried to restart it, but that doesn't work either . Is there any way to fix this?
