Samsung Galaxy SIII will not turn on. Vibrates when battery installed.

As stated My galaxy S3 does not turn on. I have removed the battery and discharged the static energy as many posts have stated. I have re installed the battery and attempted to start phone in safe mode. I can not get the phone to do anything.
Phone does not work.
Re installed battery.
Phone will vibrate every few seconds at seemingly regular intervals.
Would like help finding solution or directions to threads with similar problems.
Thanks for your help hopefully i am able to find a fix.

booperman13,
Zoinks! Sorry to hear you are having trouble so far away. It sounds like it was working fine when you first replaced the battery and you had previously done a factory reset. The computer isn't recognizing it and it isn't charging. So, by process of elimination, based on what you have described it sounds like there might be a problem with the USB cable.
Since you replaced that battery have you tried another charger? That might give us greatly clarity as to the nature of the problem. As you are currently out of our reach, if it works fine with another charger and you need to replace it, I would reach out to Samsung for assistance with finding a local provider that has their charger or usb cable in their inventory: http://bit.ly/1v0IVFI .

Hi, on a new MBPR 13, I transferred pics from my Samsung Tracfone smartphone using AndroidTransferFile app worked good. My Samsung Galaxy Tab will not transfer with ATF, tried Samsung Kies also no luck, any ideas? Thanks...

Today I downloaded a new version of Kies, 3.1.0.15042_6, and it seemed to work fine. I was able to backup my Note 3 running Lollipop with no hesitation. Files transferred to my Mac running Yosemite, OS X 10.10.3, easily. The download is available at http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/

I assume that you have installed new RAM in your MBP.
It would be helpful if you indicated the EXACT model/year MBP that you have.
What the the RAM specifications that you are trying to install?
Ciao.

It is usually given as a communication error between Apple, iTunes (your computer), iPhone. Somewhere they are not communicating, so the iOS you are trying to install cannot be approved by Apple. Trouble shooting steps include, making sure you have Current iTunes installed, make sure your Hosts file of computer is not blocking Apple. Try restoring on another computer.

After resetting my phone to factory settings, it will not turn on. When i press the power button a white screen and black apple pop up. it stays on that screen and will not go to the home screen, it will just die. please help!

Make sure it is charged for about 10min using the adapter, then connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:

Light on iphone4 flash will not turn off even when phone is powered down, now it is overheated and says not usable till cooled, but it won't cool. I'm afraid it will start a fire.

light on iphone4 flash will not turn off even when phone is powered down, now it is overheated and says not usable till cooled, but it won't cool. I'm afraid it will start a fire. Aside from breaking it, putting in in a metal pail in the yard, or putting it in a bucket of water, what can be done to keep it from setting a fire. It is so hot it burns my skin if i touch it, so bright, it hurts to look at, so hot there is now a warning that it is not usable till it cools down, but there is no way to cool it down.

more info, this happened after update to 7.0.2, and also wifi will no longer turn on since update. I took it in to apple store, it had one month left on warrenty, and they said that it would have had to get wet for this to happen. I thought that maybe it got wet through my jeans pocket in the rain or something so I didn't pursue it. Now of course, it is out of warranty by a month.

HT1320 my ipod nano is stuck in the lock position, my hold switch will not turn off even when I move it, I have restored it and it came back on in the hold position

My ipod naaIno is stuck in the lock position, my hold switch will not turn off even when I move it. I have tried restoring it and resetting it and it still comes back on in the hold/locked postion. It will only play when placed on a docking station and then I cant scroll to pick songs, I can only go to next song using buttons on docking station.

You will need to have the hold switch replaced.

TS4585 My phone will not turn on and when it does, it only stays on for a few minutes. The last time it said it was necessary to do a restore in itunes, but shut off again before i could read rest of warning

My phone was working fine last night. Plugged it into the charger and went to bed. Woke up this am to it off. It would not turn on. I tried a different charger and a different outlet. Tried several times to hold down power and volume and or the menu button. Finally, several hours later, holding the power and volume buttoon turned on the phone. Said had 1%battery, so i kept it plugged in for about 5 min. It went up to 2%. I started to look at recieved text, then it went dead again. Repeated the same steps and left it plugged in. It kept turning off. till finally, it went dim and a warning message came on to restore phone from itunes but idid not see the end of warning bc it shut off again. Now it will not turn on, but has the white apple symbol turning off and on over and over. I can not find the option to restore the phone, plus the phone is not on so the computer is not registering that its plugged in. I can not call out bc no landline and can not call tech support. Does anyone know why this is, or what to do?????????????

Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

IMac Will Not Turn On (Even When Cool and SMC Reset)

Hi all.
I have recently had a VERY ANNOYING problem with my iMac. It will not turn on. No matter what. I have reset the SMC (unplug, wait whatever, plug back in etc.) and have cooled it down with time and a battery fan held up to the case, but it still will not turn on.
I am really getting sick of this iMac and feel like sending it back, but I know that there is some sort of easy fix out there somewhere. I do not want to take it to the Apple Store again (2 times in the 5 days Ive had it already).
I read somewhere else that the older iMacs have stuffed up logic boards, which causes the computer's 'max operating temperature' to be much lower than usual, causing unnecessary 'overheating'. Is there some way to disable auto-shutdowns because of temperature, or raise the maximum allowed?
Please help, I just need to upgrade my Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 (from 10.6.3) to fix some software problems!
Thank you so much!
-Michael
Oh yes, iMac stats:
1.5GB of RAM
2.0GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo processor
Early 2006 20" White iMac
Anything else you need to know about it, just ask!

Ok, the Snow Leopard disc did not have the AHT thingy on it, but the Tiger one did. Currently running extended test. Had to reset the SMC to get the thing to turn on. I will do the test twice, then reset the PRAM and give you the results.
I have come to a conclusion about one thing: Old iMacs are very fussy and take a lot of work to keep them going, but are very satisfying to use.
