QUICKSILVER: Power problems even after replacing PSU

When I press the power button. The light comes on and fades out.
Before I replaced my rev D power supply with a rev C, the fan would turn about a 1 centimeter when I pressed the power button. Now it does not do that.
The ebay seller claims the power supply was good, but I'm not so sure. Does it make a difference that it's Rev C? This is the PSU I bought:

What would cause something like this?

Your internal memory battery may have discharged & needs replacement. Also try a PMU reset. See Mac PRAM, NVRAM, CUDA/PMU & Battery Tutorial

How does a usb keyboard attached externally work?
You might try a "hard reset" where you remove battery and AC charger, hold down power button 20-30 seconds and then reassemble and turn on. Reset BIOS (F10) to default settings, too.

Getting "replace hard disk error (#10008)" even after replacing hard disk

Hi!
My laptop- HP Pavillion dv 6502- is 4 years old.
Recently, the hard disk supposedly crashed as I was not able to get anything other than a blank screen. I checked with BIOS diagnostics, and it showed error #10008- Replace Hard disk.
So, I went to an hp service centre and got the hard disk replaced.
My earlier hard drive was a Seagate 160 gb momentus 5400.3 disk.
New one is the Seagate 250 gb disk.
The laptop was working properly the day the hard disk was replaced. BIOS diagnostic status for the disk was "Passed"
But, the very next day when i tried starting the system, I got a blank screen again. I again went to BIOS and ran the diagnostic test. I performed the test twice. It took a lot of time to finish- jumping from Reaching till '80% complete', then jumping back to '10% complete', then '90% complete', then '10% complete', and so on.. finally showing '100% complete' and status : #10008 - Replace hard disk - both the times.
Then, I had to go out of station and so, I didn't touch my laptop for 2 days. When i came back, the computer was working fine and the BIOS test status said "Passed" for the disk
What could be the problem due to which my problem wasn't starting earlier- even after replacement of disk? Is it possible that the disk was not the problem in the first place?

Hi!
Turned out the second new Hard disk was also not fine. I went back to the service centre and got the hard disk replaced again. This time the laptop has been working fine.

MDD won't power up, even after battery replaced?? Help!!

Hi everyone. I use a MDD 1.25 GHz G4 at work and when I got in this morning the thing wouldn't turn on. After reading numerous forums, I tried the PMU reset button and changed the battery, and still nothing. I've read numerous others that say that they push the power button and it lights up for a second and then shuts off. Well, mine doesn't even light up at all!! I've tried different power cords, even tried an old keyboard with the power button on it, just in case the power button on the G4 was bad. Still no luck!! Could the power supply be bad? I need to advise my boss quickly on this so we know which direction to go from here. He was ready to buy a new one, but I'm trying to save him some money, as we are a smaller company. Anyways, hope one of you gurus can help. Thanks in advance...

Fix for a Mac that won't power up
Mirrored Doors G4. When you pressed the power button, the button would light up, but the computer would not turn on. The fans on the power supply wouldn't turn on.
FIX: unplug the machine, pull the clock battery, hit the power button to discharge. Then plug it in without the clock battery. The machine should boot perfectly. Shut down, reinstall the clock battery, and now the system is fully functional. Macosxhints

Black spots IMac 27 even after replacing screen

Hi,
I am really disappointed from Apple and my IMac 27.
I have purchased a brand new IMac 27’ 6 months ago.
After several weeks of use I have noticed dark spots appeared all over my screen.
After searching the web about it, I have realized it is a common problem shared by many IMac 27 users.
I have taken the IMac to IDigital labs (Israel’s Apple premium reseller) – and they agreed that the screen is defected and needed to be replaced.
I was so disappointed; buying what should be elite model of computers turned out bad only after few months of use.
Also, during my search in the internet I have discovered that this problem reproduces even after the LCD panel was replaced.
After being in IDigital labs for more than 2 weeks, I got my IMac only to find out that the screen is still defected and has even bigger dark spots in it.
IDigital now says that the new screen is also defected and that sometimes Apple ships damaged repair parts. Now, I have to wait for 2 more weeks until the new screen arrives.
I would like to replace my IMac with a new one.
I don’t think I should have a refurbished product only after several months of use.
Regards,
Eran.

I am pretty sure I am having the exact same problem as you. Random small black dots placed in different spots all over the screen?

Laptop will not power on even after hard reset

hello, this laptop had a problem with the keys not typing, it was working fine the other day, then it suddenly would not type, i had to use on screen keyboard to log on , i had done a few thing like check filter keys were not on etc, when i was googling to try and find a solution, i was going to try system restore but the computer went out of charge so i plugged charger in, normally this would bring laptop back on when i press power button, but it has died, no sign of life at all, i tried the obvious solution, take battery out, press power button 30 secs, plug adaptor back in and switch on, nothing, there is no sound coming from it and no lights anywhere, it is only about 18 month old, and does not get heavily used, surely cannot be a serious problem, even though the charger was working perfectly weel that morning, i obtained one from a friend who has an hp laptop with same charger, made no difference, any suggestions please

I have done this, we got an adaptor from a friend with an HP laptop, her adaptor is working and charging her laptop, so we borrowed it, removed battery again from the one we are trying to fix , but still nothing, no lights anywhere, not a sound of anything happening, i really do not understand this, as it was working fine ,apart from the keyboard problem , there is not much on it,it is not heavily used and it is not much more than one year old, there were no error messages, blue screen or nothing, it just looked like it had run out of charge, but like i said, when i plugged in charger , it would not come back on, thanks for your reply

Sleep/ALS problem even AFTER Apple Store ALS replacement!

So I've had this sleep/ALS problem for months; wave my hand near the left ALS and display goes black. Gets better after PB has been on for a while. I like my office rather dimly lit (hey, a little "mood" lighting) but I have to have it lit up like an operating theater in the morning to keep the blasted PB running...
Anyway, we recently got an Apple Store in town, so (with one week left in warranty) I took it in; they ordered new ALS sensor, last Saturday they replaced it.
Worked great until...this morning same problem!! Now what!? I'm going by this afternoon to speak with them.
Needless to say, I've reset PMU, PRAM, safe boot, and just about everything else one can reset. Sigh. I thought sure a replacement hardware sensor would do it.
Oh yeah, the sleep light also quit working, except sometimes. These intermittent problems are sure a pain!
And, like others w/this problem, keyboard backlighting has disappeared from Preferences. Strange.

repair was not done properly, get them fix it again or try another service place.
maybe call Apple customer relations to complain.

Mac G5 dual won't start, even after replacing power supply

I was having an issue with the mac starting, getting the bong and then it would run for a while and then shut down. I tried resetting pram and then replaced the power supply. It still does the same thing. Help.

OK, good news/bad news...
We found the problem, but Disk Utility & fsck cannot repair it, it's either erase everything on the drive, or try DiskWarrior...
Your best bet is DiskWarrior, you need the CD/DVD though.

Problem - cannot format hard drive even after replacement

Dead hard drive. I was able to recover part of the data in firewire mode.
Rebooting from OSX disk hangs with a circle slash. Same if I try to reboot with Diskwarrior CD or TTPro. Removing the hard drive has the same result.
Booting from an external firewire utility drive is successful, however I'm unable to successfully reformat the hard drive. Disk Utility sees the drive, and begins to reformat, but hangs at about 10%, and it instantly shows more than 10 partitions but none of them successfully are created. Drive Genius just fails to initialize.
I tried a different hard drive, same result.
Apple Hardware Test and TTpro all show that hardware is OK.
Any ideas?

Hi James,
I'm not clear on some things:
"Rebooting from OSX disk hangs with a circle slash.
Same if I try to reboot with Diskwarrior CD or TTPro.
Removing the hard drive has the same result.
Correct. I cannot boot from ANY bootable CD except AHT, not even with the internal drive completely disconnected.

and begins to reformat, but hangs at about 10%, and

First you say you can't boot with DW or TTP, then you
say AHT and TTP show hardware is OK. So you
can boot with DW and TTP?
I cannot boot from ANY CD. But I CAN boot from an external firewire drive. My iPod is a diagnostic drive, which includes TTP and AHT. Oh, and I CAN boot from an AHT CD but only into AHT, not beyond AHT into the finder.
Are you running an OS on the external HD that's at
least as new as the one that originally shipped on
the PB?
Yes. It's the brand new version of Protogo that just came out in Jan 07. I've also tried CD's from 9.1 to 10.4.
Have you reseated your RAM? Tried with just one
module? Switched that module to the other slot?
Repeated same process with other module?
Yes, that was actually the first thing I tried.
If still no luck, try removing the bottom cover,
gently snugging up all the screws you can find,
flipping the keyboard up and doing the same, then try
booting (with bottom cover off).
If still no luck, I would try the
href="http://www.posner.net/marc/projects/TiBook/TiBoo

If still no luck, sounds like a logic board issue, or
possible the display cables in the hinges.
Tried that too...no change.

Consistent Data Issues Even After Replacement

I don't know whether to blame the phone or the ice cream sandwich update for all the problems I have been having with my RAZR. When I first got it six months ago it was great and I loved it now after the ice cream sandwich update I dont really like it anymore. I never had any sort of issues while using it on gingerbread. Today, I have seen my phone switch constantly between 3g and 4g more times than I can count over the course of half an hour. I couldn't even get a consistent signal to watch a 3 minute youtube clip.
First off, I updated it to ICS but first wiped the phone clean including cache, etc. So it would have basically been a clean install. Now, I have certain issues. The 4g and 3g switch is terrible. On the street and in my own house I have had the same thing happen. In my house I get anywhere from 3-5 bars of 4g but it still switches over to 4 bars of 3g. I have even seen it switch from 4g to 3g when I had full bars. I have already replaced the sim cards, but I am still having these issues. It's actually happening on all 4 of my RAZRs on my family plan. I have gone through the network resets where I pull out the sim card and for 30 seconds, insert it, power on the phone, etc. I went through all 4 of them with the Rep over the phone. I have also had several instances where I did not have data but signal bars and then I didn't have absolutely anything at all. I live in a "major" city metro area, Boston, and I can't believe I am having these problems.
At first I would have gone off and blamed Verizon, but it is definitely not Verizon, it is our phones that are terrible. I can confirm this because my brother uses an ipad (4g Verizon) on a separate account and he consistently maintains 4g even though I have seen it go as low as two bars. Yes, I understand the ipad is a different device and may have a different radio, but that is exactly how our phones used to work on gingerbread. I received a replacement device and I am still having the same issues. Also, the headset speaker, not the speaker on the back, or receiver is really tinny during phone calls even with the in call volume down half way. It is really annoying and the little tone that plays after hanging up makes the speaker sound like its about to blow out. I don't know what to do if the RAZR will keep having data issues because this is absolutely ridiculous. I know i'm not entitled to anything but for $310 a month I mean come on, I just want my phone to work properly. As I am typing this now, I have witnessed my phone switch between 4g, 3g, and no signal at least 5 times and of course my brother's iPad on Verizon has kept its 4g signal.

Thanks for all the suggestions, but they just don't work at all guys. I've even tried that restore connectivity app from Motorola, but of course it didn't work. I don't like that I keep having constant switches between 3g,4g, and no signal bars. It's awful thats just what it is. I feel like I got gipped with this update promising better user experience. If the darned thing can't connect to their network, then what is Verizon doing to address these issues? Every time I try to do something "data intensive" (i.e. youtube, facebook, twitter, etc) the data signal just drops and I'm either left with gray bars and no data or no signal bars whatsoever. Also one thing that annoys me to death with this phone is that I have it sitting in my pocket after I lock the screen and I go to pull it out of my otherwise empty pocket. The screen is turned on by itself (I have the clear silicon case on it so the power button shouldn't be pressed by itself and no I don't wear skinny jeans), its got 3g and no bars, and its piping hot.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PHONE VERIZON???!!!

PLEASE HELP -T61p- CCFL lamp not working even after replacement

Hello Everyone,
This is my first post so please bear with me.
Skip the first three paragraphs if you don't have time.
I bought a T61p in jan-2008. I have sent this thinkpad to service centers for repair a couple of times, once for replacing the motherboard( the bios updater screwedup) and the other time for a broken LCD hinge. The service was excellent (they even sent me spare parts a couple of times like keyboard, touchpad etc).
A few months ago i spilled some beer on the keyboard, so immediately switched it off, opened the laptop and carefully cleaned everything. Switched it on, TADA it works as good as before.
A couple of months back i realized my warranty is about to expire so i though i would send the system for a final checkup. Now the guys at the service center tell me that there is a spill and to repair it i need accidental coverage which i don't have and cannot buy after the "accident". To repair it they asked for an advance of $800 - the laptop costs around 1400, it seemed to me that the cost of repair was too high. So they send me back my machine.
Now when i switch on my machine, i can see that the screen is active (if i look it at an angle i can see even different colors) but it is almost pitch black. I did some research, bought an inverter and lcd connection cords from lenovo and replaced the old one, no difference. Thought it must be the CCFL lamp, so bought a new lcd screen and replaced the existing one, still no difference. Frustrated, i removed the whole lcd from the hinge and connected my machine to an external monitor, this works perfectly.
My Question: Where is the problem, i replaced lcd, inverter, the connector cords. If there is problem with the graphics card the external monitor shouldn't work(i can even play games on it). Is there anything that can be done (a laptop is better than a converted desktop). Please share your expert thoughts, opinions and comments.
Thanks,
Elliot

Charger power cord broken after replacement lastest 1 day vendor university of SAskatchewan bookstore refused to replace the dam cord Thats two chords @ 98.00 $ I have used my fathers and sisters chords which have no faults why is it that a defective cord

Power chord lasted 1 day after another replacement. When 2 other power chords are borrowed in this household no problems. Vendor sold the last one that lasted 1 day( 2 i phones 3 mac pros and 5 i pods in one household not enough?) The power cord that was purchased at the University of Saskatchewan Bookstore lasted 1 day and they say it malfunctioned by user. The chord is brittle and frayed. All products bought in this household from same vendor. Apple you have some products that are poorly made admit it look at feedback pages. Is gouging a University Student for 98.00$ for faulty cords the corporate objective or standing behind your products after sale a respondsibility of seller? Keep producing a good product with faulty accessories and you will continue to do well unless you value your entire product line. What are you willing to do?

Your statement of displeasure on this forum is being directed at other Apple users like yourself. If you want your feelings known by the Apple corporation, you should communicate with them by sending a letter to Cupertino or perhaps registering your complaint with an Apple store manager. You may get sympathy here but no results.
Ciao.

IPod touch home button not responding well even after replacement

Replaced the home button of my 4th gen iPod touch 2 times but no go, I even tried to restore but it still doesn't work. Please any help will be appreciated.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem. Maybe you damaged something when you repaired thw Home button.

Sleep problems (even after firmware update)

Hello
Previously I was having problems where I would put my Macbook to sleep only to find it an hour later in my bag blazing hot with the fan working overtime.
The recent firmware update seems to have fixed that problem but it's been replaced by another. What happens now is when I get home and retrieve the Macbook from my bag and open the lid the hard disk makes it's familiar waking up sound but the screen doesn't come back on - and I'm not really sure if the computer has woken up or not - sounds like things are happening inside the metal but no beeps or burps when I randomly press keys / try to make things happen.
In the end I'm forced to hold down the start up button and force a shut down.
Anyone else having this? This doesn't seem to happen when I wake from sleep at any other time than when I take the computer from work to home which makes me think it's something to do with maybe my Bluetooth mouse or wireless network?
This is really frustrating and I'm sure forcing a shut down isn't doing my HD any favors.
Can anyone help?
Cheers
Dom

I forgot to mention, DenverEagle, some more details.
My iMac would do the same thing: if it went to sleep, it either just shut down, or restarted, instead. If I turned off sleep, all was OK (for awhile. Eventually it had an episode where I turned it off and it would not start back up. Eventually, it did start back up [after about a day's rest]. That was when I took it in).
So it might be the same problem I had.
The software steps I was told to do, in attempt to resolve it, were:
1) Delete my power settings preferences file, and;
2) Reset the SMU, and;
3) Reset the PRAM/NVRAM.
None helped, but they're easy, so you might try them. I don't think I they have any nasty side effects, but buyer beware.
I'm a little hazy on #1, and I can't find the tip online, but I think it just involved deleting the file:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
Number 2 is outlined here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301733
Number 3 is outlined here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
I took my iMac to the Cherry Creek Apple store, and they fixed it really fast (it was 4 days, including a weekend, IIRC).
