PS4 turns on for split second then turns off (Not BLOD)

My PS4 was purchased via preorder on launch day here in South Africa - Friday 13th December. After working for 2 days,it now fails to turn on. I've read about the blue light of death that just pulsates continuously but what I'm getting is a beep and blue light for less than a second before it turns off completely with no light.
If I then press or hold the power button again, I get nothing. I have to unplug it from the wall and replug it in and then if I press the power button again, it does the same as before - beep and split second blue light before going dead. Here is a video I took of it:http://t.co/VIrDS9KI1G I can't get into safe mode. If I try to hold the power button down, it just does the same as above. It doesn't stay powered long enough to reach 7 seconds. I've also tried removing the HDD and booting without the HDD in to try and force safe mode but again, it does exactly the same as above. I've tried using different plug points and adapters that I know work and I've done so with no other devices plugged into these points or adapters. In my highly amateur opinion, it feels like a power supply issue where power is cutting practically immediately.

It's a power issue, I've noticed this because I was moving my PS4 from downstairs where I tested it, to my gaming room where it'll live FOREVER! lol... and the power was unplugged, but I touched the button as I lifted the console. It beeped as if it was going to come on, then because it had no power it just went off again. Just like you describe. So the console is acting like it does when it has SOME power, but not enough in my opinion.
Once I got it upstairs and plugged in the power, it came on and all was ok.
I recommend:
Giving the PS4 ITS OWN PLUG SOCKET, don't plug it on a multi-adapter where it's power might be shared/weakened.
Give the PS4 a moment of being plugged in so it can store enough power to turn on.
Make sure your cables are all good,

Updated to ios7 now Notes opens for split second then shutsdown. Any ideas how to fix this?

How can I fix my Ipad so that I can use Notes? Currently it opens for a split second then closes.

Thank you for your feedback

How to hold a texts scroll for 3 seconds then scroll off?

I'm using tweenlite. How do I hold the scroll for 3 seconds and scroll off the screen?
Here is my current tweenlite code.
TweenLite.to(txtField, 40, {x:-stage.stageWidth*2.25, ease:Linear.easeNone, delay:0.5, onComplete:Inspiration});
Thank you.

Okay, I'm not getting what I wanted. Here is my code:
TweenLite.to(txtField, 3, {x:200, ease:Linear.easeNone, delay:0.5});
var timer:Timer = new Timer(3000, 2);
    timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, scrollOut);
    timer.start();
function scrollOut(e:TimerEvent):void{
    TweenLite.to(txtField, 3, {x:-200, ease:Linear.easeNone, delay:0.5, onComplete:Inspiration});
I want the tweenlite to wait 3 seconds and the proceede with scroll off the screen that's why I have the scrollOut function; however, the effect is that the scrolling from right is pausing for 3 seconds every 2 seconds. How do I modify this?

My computer will turn on for a second then shut off.

I had just shut down the computer 30 min before so when i go back to turn it on i press the on button sounds like its starting up then shuts off it has a full charge took out the battery and tried it again. still doesn't work i kept try to turn it on and on but itll just act like its starting up then shut off. sometimes if i let go of the on button too early the light will just come on then immediately shut off. what do i do everything i own thats apple has been breaking this week.

- If it is only one app try deleting the app and then redownload/install the app.
- Reset your iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore your iPod. First from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Startx: X server runs for split second, then dumps me back to shell

I'm trying to install an X server on a newly installed Arch Linux VirtualBox guest machine, but when I type "startx", the X server only runs for a split second, and then dumps me back to the shell. Here are my ~/.xinitrc and /var/log/Xorg.0.log files posted via wgetpaste. What could be wrong?

I'm not sure but i dont see any desktop or window manager in your .xinitrc .
.xinitrc is used to execute a window manager or a desktop when the x server starts.
So you need to install a desktop or window manager that you like.

I have used FF for years. Yesterday I could not get it to open. The clock comes on for a second then goes off. IE works OK. I uninstalled and reinstalled FF

I uninstalled FF and reinstalled it with the same results. IE and Chrome work fine. This is something that just started yesterday afternoon. Can you help?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

My camera only stays on for a second then shuts off. I have the new iPad with retina display

My new iPads camera shuts off a second after I turn it on, what can I do ?

Try closing the Camera app:
1. Double-click the Home button to reveal the Task Bar
2. Hold down the Camera app for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close app
4. Tap area above Task Bar to return to Home screen
If the above doesn't solve the problem, do a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider

I can't open iTunes on my iPhone 4S. It opens for a second then shuts off.

Does anybody have a solution for this problem?

Hi there Powerpuff19,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

HT3205 Hi, 2011 MBP went on sleep mode and won't turn back on, charger and indicator shows green light, led in front on Trackpad lights on for 2 seconds then back off, MBP won't turn back on, what happened???.

MBP went off and won't turn on again. Charger shows full battery ( green indicator) although I know I was close to low batt befor going off. What happened???

Thank you for your detailed troubleshooting attempts. Very helpful. Sorry, I cannot read "logs." My eyes just glass over on those things. Hopefully, a knowledgeable user will come along shortly to decipher for you.
I noticed from the pics that your location setting is "untitled." Have you tried the "Automatic" setting? Run the diagnostic test? Results?
Try the basics first:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

Opened mail flashes on for split second then disappears

Usually use AOL version 9.6 for mail. This problem only happens on Firefox, not with 9.6 Have looked for settings and unsuccessful in resolving problem. I must be doing something wrong! Not computer savvy enough to make use of your suggestions

I'm working with FCP 4.1. I tried trashing preferences and unfortunately it didn't help. I'm working on an older system (obviously) 10.3. Nothing has changed that I can think of. I attached a large hard drive and imported a file but that's the only thing I can think of that was "different" over the past year or so. I had a problem last year with Quicktime 7 and FCP 4.1 so I reintalled Quicktime 6.5 and that's what I'm using now. I'll double check to see if QT 7 didn't somehow reinstall. What a pain that was to remedy.

IMessage logs in for split second then logs out with error

On late 2009 Mac Pro the iMessage says

All other messenger services are working.

Force reboots can cause directory corruption.
Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.

B757e powers up for 2 seconds, then shuts down.

I don't know if I am in the right section, but l have a B575e .
I left it on sleep for about 4 days, when I opened it today, it was Off.
I tried to power it up, but it only comes on for a second, then shuts off.
I tried charging the battery, and tried to power it up with the charger connected.
Also tried removing the Battery and using just the charger.
Still same thing. I brought it used, so I don't think it is still under warranty.
The PO said it was only a year old or so, and had only used it a few times.
It was working fine up till this point.
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Tony
Solved!
Go to Solution.

OMG it worked, what is that some kind of re set?
What happened? Should I not leave it on sleep for 4 days or so?
Booted up, seemed to take a little longer, IDN if it's related?
Seemed to hang on the sign in screen after entering password.
It wants me to up grade Free to windows *.1 should I do it. It already has windows 8 in it. 8.0 I guess, l am not sure.
Thank you for the help, I take treatments mon and tues, and I like to have the lap top there.

Fans (cpu/case) run 1 second then cut off, computer won't start.

Pavilion A6614F, this computer is stock from the factory.
Orginal problem, fans would spin for 1 second, then cut off.
eliminated "Everything" from the Motherboard, same problem.
This computer was looked at by a computer shop and they couldn't fix it.
It was given to me to repair.
Power Supply checked good, but still tried new 850 w PS I had, same problem.
New Motherboard, (M2N68-LA (NARRA3)) same problem,
New Processor, Phenom 9500, in the new motherboard, same problem.
swap CPUs between Motherboards, changed battery, cleared CMOS, no help.
this is with nothing plugged into the MB, no USB, memory, wlan card, keyboard, mouse, "Nothing" but 4 pin cpu power and main board power plug, on/off switch.
It appear to be "shorted", but where, was the Motherboard isolate from the case by the factory, I never found any when I removed the MB.
I've checked the wires from the on/off switch to see if they were raw/shorting out, nothing that I could find.
I find it odd that the fans come on as soon as the power cord is plugged into the PS, and without pushing the start button, but they only spin for a second or two, then everything is dead.
The fan in the 850 watt PS stops spinning as well, which makes me think it's shorted, else why would two motherboards/CPU exhibits the same problems,
and what occurred with the original Motherboard that created the problem???
I even tried running the MB outside of the case and on the desk, no luck.
I've builded/repaired more computers than I care to remember, but this one is a major problem,
If this motherboard was not isolated from the case, ( it is not now ) or the on/off switch not bad,
It's possible I could have gotten a bad MB or CPU, but since the symtoms haven't changed, I don't think that is likely.
Any "suggestions", short of using it for target practice. lol

The original PS is working, light stays on after fans stop spinning.
I'm checking with a friend who may have a MB these CPU will fit in to see if they're working OK,
and maybe a CPU that is known to be working to try in these two MB,
That's about the only way I have of checking the MB and CPUs.
I've made a visual check of all Capacitors, none seems to have "blown their top".
I may not have made it clear in my first post, but the fans start to spin as soon as the power is applied to the PS, and this is without anything connected to the MB, not even the on/off switch, but they still spin for a second or so.
I don't know if this is a characteristic of all AMD MB, or a symptom of the problem.
If it was just a voltage surge to charge up the capacitors, then cut off, I could under stand it,
I mounted the old MB/CPU in another case but got the same results.
Personally, I'm as Intel man myself, and have a wide varity of intel MB/Sockets to check most of their products,
I've never liked AMD, and finding more justification for that everyday.
I appreciate the suggestions and help, if you have any other suggestion, I'd appreciate them too, I've ran out. LOL
When I do find the problem, and I will, sooner or later, I'll come back and let everyone know, I'd hate to see anyone else in this predicament.
Thanks again.

When I turn on my iPhone 4S the apple logo pops up for a split second then the screen goes black but the phone itselfs boots up just fine???

I tried replacing the screen with no luck. The same thing happened with the new screen. I replaced the backlight coil and the backlight ic and still have the issue. I don't know what else could be the problem. If the battery is completely dead and I plug it in the "charging battery" symbol shows just fine during the entire time it is charging, but as soon as it starts to boot up the apple logo shows for a split second then the screen goes black. The rest of the phone still boots up just fine. I can use SIRI, press the lock button like I'm about to use my phone and slide my thumb across where the "slide to unlock" would normally be and it will make the unlock noise just no picture display. I am pretty tech savvy when it comes to repairs and all of the connections look fine, replaced backlight coil and ic, replaced LCD/digitizer, tried a restore, tried a DFU restore, multiple hard resets, but I am at a loss as to where to go from here. I had dropped the phone and put a minor crack in the screen but the phone worked just fine for a couple months after before this started to happen. The phone is still under apple warranty but apple won't cover it because Apple is stating that it is "caused by the crack in the screen." But being a repair technician I know that is not the case... Good one apple. So I took it upon myself to try to determine the REAL problem. Anyone with a little more knowledge have any ideas? Any suggestions are appreciated!!

Yes, I understand that. But The screen issue is not a result of user damage. The phone was not dropped when the screen got cracked. My daughter was standing in a chair at the table and dropped one of her toys onto the bottom of the phone and cracked it right by the home button. (Nowhere near the LCD/digitizer flex cables, connections, or logic board components) then a few months later my phone had died, I plugged it in, it showed it was charging, then Apple logo disappeared and screen didn't work. AFTER contacting Apple about the issue and them telling me that it "is a result of the very minimal crack to the sheet of glass that has no relation to the LCD or Digitizer and that the warranty does not cover it I had taken it upon myself to change the LCD/digitizer to no avail, as well as backlight ic and backlight coil to no avail. But how do I go about letting Apple know that it is in fact NOT due to the cracked screen nor is it due to the flex cable connections? I can't. So the lady that works the call center phones trying to "convince" me that she knows what she is talking about and "convince" me that it is from the cracked screen I have to take her word because I can't show Apple that its not because of that without paying them $199 to fix the screen in which case they will just send me a new phone rather than fix the faulty hardware under warranty.

Some pictures in I-Photo seem to be corrupted. When I click on them, the photo comes up for a second, then the picture turns black with a white fuzzy circle inside it and what looks like an explanation mark. Some older, some newer, no common thread.

Some pictures in I-Photo seem to be corrupted. When I click on them, they come up for a second, then turn black with a white circle in the middle and what looks like an explanation mark. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to the photos that are a problem, some older ones, some newer, some albums have none, some albums have a lot.
Thanks,

time to time (when I have a chance), I will go to Finder, bring up ALL Images and start going through them to label them (before I put a label on them, they are simply listed as 123 jpg, 124 jpg etc.).
You're damaging the Library doing that, and that's the cause of your problem.
Never, ever, ever use the All Images search and work on items in yoyr iPhoto Library. They must only be accessed via the iPhoto window.
Restroe from abck up or try rebuild the Library:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Next: You need to learn how to use iPhoto. There's no need to be dragging things to the desktop:
