Power problems with my kt6v

I'm having power problems with my board and cpu. I'm starting to think it may be the power supply but not sure.
I've tried 2 mb's thinking they might have been defective, nope same result.
I've tried 2 cpu's thinking the same, nope same result.
I've got a AMD 2400+
on a MSI NT6V mobo
512mb 2700 ddr
nvidia gforce2 64mb pci
Now the problem, I set everything up in the case. double check all my connections, to make sure everything is where it's supposed to be. And the jumpers(what few their are) are set correctly.
Ok good, Power up, the system shut's itself right back down.
That's the problem. This power supply i'm using is semi old, it run's this old p2 board just fine. it's got the extra 4pin plug for the newer boards that require them. So could this problem be related to my power supply? or something else.
If you need more info, just let me know and i can give it.
Thanks.

Amp ratings look good, but, the 150W max is a show stopper. Should be closer to 200W. I would try a better PSU, such as a model 365 Enermax (26A @ 12V).
One more Item to check, are there any unused metal standoffs behind the board?
From the way you state it powers on for a few seconds, then shuts down, I suspect either the PSU is just WAY too weak to power this system, or there is a short to ground causing the rapid shutdown.
Check to insure the CPU fan is spinning up too, as that can also cause a quick shutdown.

Power Problem with Tecra750DVD

My laptop recently decided to refuse to light up when I switched on. There is an amber light in the "power" position on the front of the machine but it refuses to boot up. I have tried all options: Power Supply Unit only, Battery only, Power Supply Unit + battery and nothing works. Fuse is good in Power Supply Unit plug. Battery is less than 12 months old.

Hi
You can remove the battery completely when problemshooting this kind of tricky situation.
First of all - how does the Power-on button feel? Does it feel the way it should? Means the way it use to feel? If not, check if there is a 'lock' active behind it.
Some of the models have a security lock to keep the machine from accidentally start in a bag or so.
Please look at the LED that indicates that Your AC Adaptor is connected. When You try to switch the machine on, what happens with this LED? Still same steady green light or suddenly going out or blinking?
If going out, please try to get hold of another AC Adapter (borrow prefferably). If blinking then try to remove the AC Adaptor, remove any option that might be easily removed, DC/DVD, memory expansion, PC Card and so on.
Try start it again (remember to attach the AC again). Same? if yes, then sorry to say I think Your machine need service. If not, then there might be hope.
Disconnect the AC and put back the units you removed before, one by one and after each unit, try to start the machine again.
If it starts fine, remove that unit again and reconnect next unit. Maybe You will find that there is a problem with some external device (memory, CD, PC Card and so on) then at least You can continue working more or less as before the problem.
good luck

Power problem with my 4620 all in one printer / scanner / fax

Hi,
My problem is this. I have a 4620 all-in-one printer / scanner / fax. However, I have discovered this problem.
Scenario:
The printer hasn't been used for a day or two but is plugged in still with the light above the power cord on. I want to print a word doc or whatever. I click print. I obtain a message that the computer (via wifi) can't communicate with the printer. Pressing the Power on button on the printer interface doesn't work.
My solution, I have to disconnect the power supply from the printer, then reconnect and then press the Power On button.
This isn't normal I think. I don't think for one minute that I should have to go and disconnect and reconnect the power suppy for it to print etc.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance!!

Installation problems with MSI KT6V

Hi friends
I've bought a MSI KT6V with AMD Athlon 3000+ XP
When i try to install any game i have this message.
Sorry for the frenchies' OS
It's says :
An In-Out error has occured while installing a file.
This is generally made by an alterated file or drive support.
Anyone have a solution ?
I've changed my CD Drive and Hard Disk but i have the same problem.
Thx a lot for help.

Do you get a total lock-up? Or is it just that message? If you don't get a total lock-up I suspect a software problem. It seems as if you install with everything running, Antivirus etc.? That might be the cause.

[VIA] I have some problems with the KT6V motherboard...

This is what i have right now for that motherboard: i have an AMD Athlon XP 2800+, All-in-Wonder ATI Video Card, and recently bought a PC3200 512MB DDR ram for it
Well I installed everything that should be connected to the motherboard, when I turn it on, it comes up with this:
Scan Devices, Please wait...
Press<Tab> Key into User Window!
Serial_Ch0 Master:No Device
Serial_Ch1 Master:No Device.
then it does the load whats indicated in the BIOS, which is the hard drives I have in it. and does that, gets up to a part where it says the computer has been shut down improper and asks if you want to start in safe mode and such, so i hit enter on Start windows normally, and after that, it restarts it does that everytime and i have no clue how to fix it.
If you know how to fix it, that would be awesome.

I agree with STU.Use the WINXP CD to format.I usually go into BIOS and make CD rom first boot device.Put in WINXP CD and boot from the CD.Whan prompted to install WINDOWS,DELETE the partition that it already has and do a fresh format called "RAW".That way you ensure that every file was wiped off the drive.
Almost forgot.Leave it all underclocked.After installing WINXP,load the VIA 4 IN 1 drivers first.Do all you windows updates(I would not install SP2 though)Then you can procede to clock the board to the correct settings.From my experience,if you try to run FSB and RAM and correct speeds before loading WINXP it can and has caused the system to hang before finishing loading and also BSOD if you have to try to resume from where it hangs and continue the install.Not sure why this happens but it worked for me "EVERY" time on several machines with no problems.

Power problem with Time Capsule 2 To

Ma Time Capsule ne redémarre plus, ce n'est pas la première fois mais cette fois, je crains que ce soit définitif.
Elle n'est plus couverte par la garantie et j'aimerais savoir si il est possible de la réparer ou échanger à moindre frais.
Merci d'avance pour vos retours
Bruno

If it is a Gen4 then sorry.. repair is very uncertain. We do not yet clearly know what the fault is.
Is there a cheap method of extending warranty.. eg.. if you buy an Apple TV with applecare it might still cover the TC.. ask at apple store. It is better to get it replaced.. since the issue is unclear.
Otherwise pull it apart and see if you can find anything wrong.. you will need some electronics knowledge to fix a Gen4.. if the issue is Gen2 from the title then just replace the power supply.
Sorry no French. You can machine translate it.

Power problems with Radeon 3870 on 2008 Mac Pro

I've got a 2008 Mac Pro (10.5.7) and I've replaced the 2600 card that came in it with two Radeon HD 3870s and I am having an issue.
The cards are in slots 1&2 (the higher speed slots.) After a short period of time, the card in slot 1 powers off its monitors, but the monitors on the second card remain active. Only a reboot reactivates the monitors on the first card.
In the process of debugging this I've removed all cards and put 1 3870 in slot 1. The problem remained.
I swapped in the other card in slot 1. The problem remained.
I then tried each card in slot 2. The problem remained.
I've reinstalled the 10.5.7 updater, but this didn't help either.
Here's what the card looks like in system profiler:

Any advice would be appreciated

Now enough free space on the disk can slow the entire system down.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info then select Storage from the menu.
Make sure there's at least 15% available space.

Power Problem with iMac Keyboard

Hi All,
I have an iMac G4 800Mhz Flat Panel 17". I have just purchased a new keyboard and mighty mouse. When putting my 1gb memory stick into the spare usb slot on the keyboard I get an error that there is not enough power.
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi,The USB ports on the keyboard are part of a USB non-powered hub.
Non-powered hubs often can't provide sufficient power to bus powered USB devices. But I am very surprised that a Flash Memory Stick is drawing more power than the keyboard can provide.
The first thing to do it open Apple Menu > About This Mac... > More Info. Then click on the USB section. Have a look how much power (listed as a Current value) is being drawn by your devices. For example. My Apple keyboard Hub takes 500mA current. My M$ mouse is 100mA and Keyboard is 250mA.
If the Flash Memory worked on your Apple Keyboard and when connected to the iMac itself I would consider returning the new keyboard. What other device (if any) do you have connected to the keyboard?

Xperia Z1, Problem with OTG and Sony PS3 Headset Pulse USB Adapter

Hi, I did a bit of testing, with headphones Sony PS3 Wireless Headset Pulse , I state that both the adapter and the Sony Pulse Headphones work perfectly on PC and PS3 via the USB adapter , then connect the adapter via USB OTG connection on the Sony Xperia Z1 . With much regret I noticed that the connection between the USB adapter and headphones was established , but the audio was transmitted jerky and scratchy . So I decided to try again via USB OTG headphones Logitech F540 (again, via USB OTG, not via audio jack) , and with much enthusiasm I noticed a connection quick and efficient , without cawing and smoothly ; clear sound as if they were of the headphones connected directly to the Audio Jack with wire . I then decided to try another pair of headphones USB (for PC) , the Creative HS -1200 , connecting via the USB OTG adapter receiver headphones ( ie the same thing I did with Sony and the Logitech ) ; also in this case the Creative Wireless Headphones have received the sound from the USB receiver , without any problem or distortions . Now I want to understand how it might work all this variety of USB devices not Made by Sony , connected via the OTG port , but do not work Devices Made By Sony ? You can solve this problem with the Firmware right?
The firmware installed in my Xperia Z1 is 14.1.G.1.534 .
The OTG cable is fully functional with a multitude of devices (USB HD 2.5 Inch, USB pendrive, USB Audio, USB Mouse and keyboard).
For your info, I already tried to connect the OTG, to a powered USB 2.0 HUB, and on the HUB USB, connect the adapter from Sony and the result is one and the same. The USB adapter will light as the Sony Z1 directly connected to the OTG, but the sound from the speakers gets crackling and jerky. I tried to connect the USB adapter of Sony headphones, and then connect the cable from USB jack to the audio jack of Z1, and of course the audio works perfectly, because it bypasses the USB audio sent by Z1, going to use the 'Jack audio input, and using the USB Headset adapter (Sony Pulse) as a simple transmitter.
Thank you to anyone reply to this.
Edit: i have try with samsung S3 and Samsung S4 with OTG and the Sony HeadSet Pulse work fine with the USB Dongle. The problem is on the firmware audio of the Xperia Z1.

Two possibility
The driver is not right
Or the second i know and it's not possible to fix , they can happen on any audio device with any pc or other host
You can try your headset over a usb hub with a extern power source and connect the usb hud on your phone , if this not continu it's a power problem with the usb port
Sometime a usb port cannot provide suffisent power and that affect the audio or any data transfer , a usb hub provide on each port the power they need so when you cronnect your headset that give the good power to him
Few friends know this issue with a variety of device
One use one device on each port on his pc and there happen the pc cannot provide suffisent power for his headset , I suggest to use the minimal on his usb port and he don't have the problem , I suggest to buy a usb port power by an external source and that fixed the problem
If his your problem no update can fix that for fixing you need a Y cable to give more power to the usb port of your celphone and using a external power source (portable charging , solar panel custom 5v usb port with AA batterie)

MSI NX6800 Ultra - Power Problems

I have a power-problem with this little baby
When I start windows it says that it doesnt get enough power, so the performance have been "decreased" (cant remember exact words)
My PSU delivers 18a over 12v
http://www20.tomshardware.com/howto/20040122/power_supplies-15.html
(detailed picture of PSU and what power it delivers)
I've tryed without USB, only 1HD etc. to make sure the system used as little power as possible, but still get the "not enough power" message in windows
When I look at the GFX card and the power-cords, there IS a brown cord sticking out of it !?
There is 2 brown cords comming from each of the plugs I connect to my PSU, and it then merge into a little plug that actually fit into the bigger plug that goes into the GFX card. But as if its been taken out ? I have a slight feeling this could be the problem ?
But the question is, there is two empty holes in the plug I put into the GFX card where the brow-cord-plug fits. Anyone out there who have the same GFX and know if this brown plug is supposed to be in the GFXpower-plug ? and If so is it supposed to be in the lower or upper hole ?

First thing we need to know is more information on what your system is. We can't do any diagnosis on a system without knowing what it is. I have a hard time believing with any system that 18amps on the 12v rail would be enough to power that video card with the rest of the system. Once we get all (I mean everything, add your on signature like mine that includes all hard ware on the system, for more info check out the moan guide it has the information you need to properly list your system.
As far as the brown cord, I don't know. Hopefully someone else with the knowledge can post in here.
Please follow the above so we can better help you.
Thanks

Very strange power problem...

Hey guys (and girls ofcourse),
I'm having a very strange power problem with my late 2007 2.2Ghz santa rosa macbook.
Can you guys help me determine what the problem could be?
Here's what happened prior, when the macbook was still working. I got home from work, plugged my adapter into the wall, and it started charging. I left it on the table, and when I came back from the diner table I continued working, but suddenly noticed my macbook wasn't charging anymore. (the orange/green led wasn't lighting up but i was able to work on battery power)
I thought it was the poweradapter, so I went to the apple store the next day to lend one to test it. That didn't work, so it's not the adapter.
So then I started thinking it must be the magnetic DC connector. So I ordered that from the guys at ifixit, (since it's out of warranty) but I replaced it and it's not working.
I don't think it's the logic board, because I was able to continue working until I ran out of battery power. And I also don't think it's the battery connector, because if i'm not mistaking, the macbook can run without battery as well, but mine can't anymore.
Now I can't get any life out of my mac anymore...
Might there be something I overlooked?
Any suggestions are definately welcome!
Thanks a lot.
Timo from Belgium.

Hi Timo,
I think i have the same problem, my mac is not working without battery in it. and it wont charge it.
i wrote a post here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2105648&tstart=0
let me know if you have fixed the problem
thanks

Is anyone having problems with the battery heating up and draining the power? Mine has been doing this for about 2 months now.

Is anyone having problems with the battery heating up and draining the power? Mine has been doing this for about 2 months now.

This is a major problem with Lollipop, but yo said it started 2 months ago. Several people have fixed problem by removing FaceBook And Face book messenger and then re loading the apps again. You might want to clear your cache before reloading. Not sure this is your problem, but worth a try. Good Luck

Minor Problem with MagSafe Power Adapter

I got my MBP almost a year ago now (partially why I'm asking the question) and I've noticed that my power adapter doesn't always show the charge light. Sometimes it is not on at all, and sometimes it is less bright in color (both green and amber).
If I remove it and put it back it usually corrects itself.
It if fully functional; even if the light is completely out and plugged in it still shows as charging.
So, is this normal? I never remember having this sort of problem with my PB G4.

I would think the led light on my adapter cable was broken, but I discovered it works fine on a co-workers MBP. His adapter, which we know works, does NOT work (ie. the led does not come on) when attached to my computer. This indicate to me that the problem, whatever it is, can sometimes be with the computer and not the adapter.
I would be curious if others with apparently dead leds have tried their chargers on other MBPs.
Here's the long version of my story:
My 5W MagSafe completely fried after only 9 months.
The new adapter was fine for several days until this morning.
My "low battery" warning popped up, so so I plugged it in to recharge and immediately noticed the little led on the charger cord did not come on.
I found it hard to believe that I had another bad adapter, so before making the trip back to the store, I went into the studio where there are some other MBP users.
I plugged my adapter into another laptop and the led came on. It appeared to function completely normally. I tried MagSafe adapters from two other MBPs, but the led did not come on on either of them while attached to my computer.
This made me think there was some sort of problem with the connector on the computer itself. Just visually, it appears to be clean and corrosion free.
The next obvious step, it seemed, would have been to try swapping batteries with the other laptops, but mine is a 17" and everyone else here has 15"... and so we have different battery sizes.
One of the people here at the studio had a little utility called "Coconut Battery", that reports information about the battery health. When I ran it on my laptop, I got what I thought were rather surprising results.
It showed the usual things like current charge (21%), battery capacity and so on. But under "Additional Info" it said "Charger connected: Yes" and "Battery is charging: No".
I figured this narrowed it down to a problem with the battery. But as I was showing these results to my co-worker, the "Current Battery Charge" changed from 21 to 22%. Huh? We left it plugged in and it continued to show a steady climb in the charge, as if it is working normally. Except there is no led light, and the software still says it is not charging. Odd.
I then noticed that the built-in battery level indicator on the status bar was also showing the same increases. The led lights on the back of the battery are indicating an increase as well.
Just out of curiosity, I ran a second battery health analyzer program and again got these conflicting results. This one reported the same battery charge and capacity and so on as the previous one. It also recognized that the laptop was running off of AC power, that there was a battery, but it said "Not Chargeable."
So now I am going to let it continue until I have a full charge and then see if the computer will run as usual from the battery.
I don't think the store here is going to give me another adapter since this one appears to work just fine on the other computers.
Any thoughts on why the led would work on other laptops but not mine?
Why the battery health monitors report that the battery is being charged, but also that it is "not chargeable"?

Problems with new Mac Book Pro 13'' +power adaptor

Hi there,
I'm new here and first of all I'd like to appologize from my lack of technical language, since my only interesst in computers is that they don't give me problems so I can keep not knowing too much about them.
Ok, so I bought the new Mac Book Pro 13'' exactly 2 months ago cause my old and long travelled Power Book G4 died. I didn't hesitate to spend the money to buy the new one, cause I was so happy with my experience with the old one and in my mind returning to PCs was not even considered.
BUT...I'm not totally happy about my new laptop...from day 1 Safari would just close itself but I didn't give too much thought about it. After this, not only Safari can close up to several times a day, but also iphoto or any other program that I use for work. But that's not all..One day it would take minutes to start running and it would go extremely slow...another day it would start also very slow but also it wouldn't show the tools bar on top or my folders. Another time it would show me, instead of the normal starting page, a page where it would ask me to accept or not a kind of revision for hardware. After so many problems of course I pressed yes...everything seemed normal, then computer started and seemed to be running normal again (aside from this safari and other programs that shut down). Today my computer, when moved, just went totally blank but fortunately I could start it with nor problems after it.
So...anyone knows what the problem must be?? Should I take it to a Technical service ??? and there's another issue...i'm handing in m phD in a week so I can't just be without computer now, and in a week I'm flying to Canada where I also will need my computer for work...what can I do???
And the second problem...the power adaptor from the beginning seemed to act funny sometimes...sometimes charching, sometimes not, I would follow the instructions in the support part and after being several minutes changing one cord for the other, to keep it 1 minute disconnected and so at some point it would start functioning again. But this happened seldom so also I would think it was a protectiion mechanism of the adapter. But, when this is happening more often than not, then it gets annoying. Also I've been transporting it in a careful way since I bought it to find that after only 2 months in the cord (from the computer to adaptor) you can see the internal cable as if there was some cut...a third one seems to be appearing too. I've taken it to the technical support and the guy who was helfpul but also honest said he couldn't do anything for me cause since there were those cuts, he could always be said that it was a misuse of it-an accident and then he would have to pay the replace himself. Well, it's not!!! My old adaptor has been transported in a way less careful way and it's survived with NO problems for 5 years. The material is clearly different from the old cord. This one because it's new, I only need to put it in a special bag air protected. Honestly I don't feel happy to pay 80 € for an adaptor that I don't know if it's gonna last me only 2 months or that I know I can't transport normally. The guy suggested me to ask in forums and to call directly to the apple technical service.
Again, has anyone had any similar problems with the adaptor???

Take it to an Apple retailer and have the computer repaired. It is still in warranty.

I have a problem with my iPhone 4s. An Apple rep looked at the phone today and determined the phone will have to be replaced. I am trying to back up my data on the phone to iTunes but I cannot get the phone to power up.

I have a problem with my iPhone 4s. An Apple rep looked at the phone tonight and determined I will need a new phone. I am now trying to back up my data to iTunes but I cannot get the phone to turn on. I have it plugged into my computer monitor but it just slowly flashes the Apple symbol. Any ideas on how I can get it to power up for the backup?

Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$
