Macbook Pro power button sticks

I just bought a new Macbook Pro, and the power button is a nightmare. It is incredibly difficult to depress. I'm worried I'm going to break it. Is this a common problem? Is there a solution? I see no other way to power the unit on.

If you bought the machine less than 14 days ago, and it wasn't custom configured through the Apple Online Store, and you have an Apple Store nearby, go there and ask to exchange it.
If it was custom configured or you bought it more than 14 days ago, you can't exchange it; it will need to be repaired. The Genius Bar at an Apple Store will be the best source of information about how long that's likely to take.

IPhone 5 power button sticking?

Anyone else having the issue where your power button on iPhone 5 sometimes just doesn't work, and at other times it seems to work perfectly? I want the thing to go completely bad so they'll be forced to replace it, but every time I've tried to go to the genius bar, it starts working.
Immensely frustrated.

Hi jonikerr,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Take a look at the troubleshooting tips in the article linked below which can help you resolve the issue with the Sleep/Wake button on your iPhone 5.
Get help with buttons and switches on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If the Sleep/Wake button doesn't work
On iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, the Sleep/Wake button is on the right side of the device, near the top. On earlier models, the Sleep/Wake button is on the top of the device, toward the right side.
If the Sleep/Wake button isn't working and your iOS device is on, follow these steps:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button.
If you see "slide to power off," turn off your device and then turn it on again.
If you can't turn off your device, try to reset it.
If the Sleep/Wake button still doesn't respond, follow these steps and test again:
Check for debris or dirt around the Sleep/Wake button and clean it with a soft cloth.
Remove any case or film.
If you can't turn on your iOS device, connect it to an A/C adapter. When your device is charged, try the steps above again. If the battery is extremely low on power, your device might display a black screen for up to 10 minutes (up to 20 minutes for iPad) before you see a charging indicator on the screen.
If you have an iPhone 5 and the Sleep/Wake button still isn't working, or works intermittently, you might be eligible for this replacement program.
If you've followed the steps above and the Sleep/Wake button still doesn't respond, if it works intermittently, or if it's damaged, contact Apple Support to set up service.
So long,
-Jason

Pavilion 25xi has power button lock out and keeps turning itself off

My Pavilion 25xi has the message "power button lock out" and we have tried holding it for 10 seconds (hard with a swipe button). We have also disconnected the power for 30 sec and then reconnected. All these to no avail. It also id prone to turning itself off and when the screen is reset, there are no icons and none of the programs on the task bar are able to be opened. This means turning the who;le computer on and off, thus losing any work on the computer that was in process. Help!

Hello @BillHendo,
I understand that you are getting a 'Power Button Lock-out' error when you push the power button on your HP Pavilion 25xi monitor.I am providing you with some steps you can try below:
Step 1. Hold the power button down for 30 seconds
Step 2. Unplug the power cord from the back of the monitor and the wall
Step 3. Hold the power button down for at least one minute
Step 4. Plug the power cord back into the monitor and then into the wall outlet (not a power bar or surge protector)
Step 5. Press the Menu button on the monitor
Step 6. Navigate to the Factory Reset option and select it
Step 7. Try different cables between your computer and monitor.
If the above steps did not resolve your issue you can try the monitor on a computer or other device to see if the issue persists. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836.

IPhone 5 power button barely sticks up

The power button on my new iPhone 5 barely sticks up, it is much lower than that on my iPhone 4. And it is much lower than volume buttons. When I run my finger across the power button I can barely feel it. Is this normal?

I have this same problem, if you can even call it that. To me it just doesnt feel right. On my iphone 4 it was a bit higher and had a better feel to it when you pressed it down, like a solid feel and click, knowing that you pressed it. My current iphone 5 it seems as though its barely sticks up from the top base of the phone. I dont know if they made it like that or what, but it is annoying and i will continue to monitor the power button.
I just hope it doesnt get stuck.

Pavilion dv6z notebook - shut down a few seconds after pressing the power button

Pavilion vd6z powers up for 5 seconds (I see the HP logo screen and the Windows startup asks if it should launch the Repair or Start Normally) then it shuts off.
I have removed the battery/disconnected the adapter and held the power button in for over a minute several times, removed and replaced the memory, blown the dust from the cooling fan & heat sink. I also have tried booting with the hard drive removed. The same issue exists if I have the battery in or not. After all of the these steps, the system still starts up and then powers off after just a couple seconds.
If I press ESC to enter SETUP, the system will still power off.
The warranty expired a few weeks ago and HP tech support can not help me...other than suggesting that I put a post on the forum.
Has anyone experience a similar problem and found a solution?

Hello again visionpga.
If you've used known working memory and the problem still exists then you've ruled out many of the causes as you've tried testing all the hardware which you can test. I believe you're experiencing a motherboard issue which is likely a short. This repair is possible for you to do yourself if you have technical experience or you could have the notebook repaired by HP.
If you want to try repairing the notebook yourself I'll need your product number. This document shows how to locate the product number.
The US/Canadian number for HP Support is 1-800-474-6836. If you're in another country you'll need to visit HP Support Worldwide to locate the contact information.
If you have any other questions just let me know.

Help - HP Pavilion a6030.uk desktop. Have to press the power button multiple times to start up?

Hi,
I have a HP desktop computer. The model is HP Pavilion a6030.uk, Opertating system: windows vista.
My computer has had no problem at all until yesterday for some reason i had to push the power button multiple times to start it until it finally turned on and did the normal start up. Such as i would press the power button as normal to start it, but all of a sudden, it would turn off after about 2 seconds, and so I would press the power button several times and each time it would not start up and turn off, so the power button would be pressed again until it would finally turn on and start up and run as normal and seems to work fine. And it was the same today, i pressed the power button mutiple times (e.g. 6 times) until it finally started as normal.
As im not very knowledgeable or very computer/technology savvy wise in this area, please will someone help me and give me some advice/help to fix/solve this.
Thankyou for taking time to read this and any help would be much appreciated to resolving this problem.
Thanks.

Vonbon90, welcome to the forum.
When I see these symptoms on an older computer, I believe that it may be a failed/ing power supply unit (PSU). Here is a guide that will help your troubleshoot it.
Also, you could test the memory. This can be done by removing all of the memory modules and replacing them one at a time and booting.

Tower Power Button Turns on and immediately off

Tried to start my HP tower (power button) for my desktop and it immediately came on but immediately went right back off...nothing showed up on the monitor in the process. So my question again is " If the power immediately goes out when turning on the power button, does that mean it might be a power surge problem and if so can you replace that part?

definitely a problem with your power, see here for troubleshooting or testing:

My Pavilion a6417c The 'power button' light never illuminates. The fans all run at full.

My Pavilion a6417c the 'power button' light never illuminates. The fans all run at full. The only way to turn it off, is to unplug the Power Cable from the PSU. The system does not boot. If the PC is unplug for more than a week, it will boot. But after 5 minutes it will turn off.

Left touchpad button sticks on Pavilion DM4

My wife has a DM4 2180us Pavilion notebook and lately the left button stick or does not register a click. Looking at it I believe the problem is that its rubbing against the chassis frame around the button. Have tried cleaning around it with a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol. But although it helped a little it still is sticking. Kind of upset that we have not even had this PC a year and already have replaced the WiFi card and have had issues with it shutting down randomly. Fan runs all the time and seems to be struggling to keep it cool. But that's yet another issue that I can't find a solution for.

The touchpad is probably dead. The driver can be installed on your notebook with a non-functional touchpad, that is why you are seeing it in the device manager. I would recommend calling HP support at 1-800-474-6836 to have it repaired or replaced.

My hp Pavilion p6230y died. It will not boot. The power button LED does not lite.

The power supply LED is lit, and all the voltages are correct (metered). The fans turn on when the power button is pressed, and I can feel the HDD turning and it gets warm. I stripped the system down to bare essential, nothing but wireless keyboard & mouse, HDMI connector to monitor. I cleaned out all the dust from inside the computer.I reseated the CPU chip. No beeps at all coming from motherboard. The CPU heatsink is stone cold. I suspect either CPU chip &/or motherboard. Anybody have any ideas?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Usually when the fans twitch it means that the CPU is OK. That is not a theory, it is practical experience. My next step is what I suggested to you. Clear the CMOS settings. That is usually a last ditch effort. I always have a spare PSU around to verify that it is not the culprit.
Follow the troubleshooting on this HP web document to check your PSU. Just testing it with a meter does not help much because it can fail under load. The multimeter does not put a load on the power supply unit. Even those cheapie PSU testers are pretty worthless, except for a cursory test.

HP Pavilion dv6-1360us Entertainment PC power button broken, power button board removed for use.

After working on my wife's laptop for the last week and not being able to find &amp;quot;the&amp;quot; solution online, let alone a pic of the power button board. I thought I'd try to share my shortcut with anyone that can benefit from it and hopefully avoid unnecessary repairs and costs. Of course we don't want even more money going to HP for no reason.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The problem:&lt;br&gt;My wife was messing with our dog and a little pop splashed on and under the left front of the laptop. This was near the power button and underneath near the ram cover and vents. We unplugged the laptop and removed the battery as soon as I'd learned what happened. We dried it as best we could and after awhile started it back up. It started for shorter and shorter periods of time until it wouldn't start at all. I spent the next couple days trying all the forum solutions like holding the power button down, removing and inserting the battery and power supply ...blah, blah , blah. Eventually I came across somebody talking about the power button board. At this point the laptop with the battery only did nothing and had no lights, noise ...nothing. If the power supply was plugged in we had a light next to the plug and a front left panel light on. If the battery was removed and it was only the power supply we had only the light next to the power supply input. Everything i found said it was the motherboard or GPU. I feared the worst lol. I took it part for the 4th time and looked at the power button board and noticed the side of the power button itself had cracked all the way through. I decided i would try and start it without the power button board or cable connected instead of the shorting out process blogs were talking about.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The solution:&lt;br&gt;I removed the DVD drive, hard drive, ram, keyboard, bezel and hard drive then 1 by 1 added the DVD drive, ram, hard drive ...etc. and each time used the remote control to power on the laptop. It worked!!! Eventually I had everything back together with the power button board and cable completely removed and the laptop was up and running. I put some superglue on the cracked power button and plan to order a new power button board and cable along with a new bezel and power button if necessary but for now we've got everything working and all the important files she was working on at the time have been recovered. I did pull the hard drive the first day and put it in a portable USB shell and copy all the files to our backup drive. Anyway if the same kind of things are happening to yours at least you won't have to go thru everything i did. Good luck and i probably won't be back very often if at all to reply to any questions or to be told how i could've done it easier/more efficiently.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Power2dapeeps! lol

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
IDT Audio Driver - Windows 7.
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, restart the notebook again and check if the mute led now changes colour correctly.
Regards,
DP-K

Flashing Power Button and flashing red decorative bar on front of desktop tower

a brand new Desktop PC an Envy 700-230qe. Have had it a few days. This is the second one in less than 3 weeks because of the same problem. When the computer is at rest for a little while the power button and the decorative red bar on the front of the computer flashes. I am well aware the power button and the red decorative bar have nothing to do with each other. What is going on? We right now have 5 HP computers in our house. Never has anything like this happened. We are so dissapointed. I would be very grateful if someone could help me. Thank you.

Hi SunnyNoel,
I have an Envy 810-150se.
When the PC sleeps the power button and the decorative red bar flash on mine also.
I have not found any HP documentation on this but I believe our PC's are designed to flash when in sleep mode.
