Satellite 1805-s253 starts up but quickly shuts off followed by the a/c LED flashing amber...

Is anyone familiar with an issue where the laptop attempts to start then shuts down followed by the a/c LED flashing amber. The only way for the LED to stop flashing is to remove the battery and re installing it. It has been working fine until I did an update and had to reboot the computer. I have tried to isolate everything from the memory to the hd and still, the computer will not start. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated! Bonnie

CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL A FLASHING AMBER AC ADAPTER INDICATOR LIGHT ON A PORTEGE 4010 MEANS....

PLEASE... I'M DESPERATE NOW !!!!
THANKS

My dv7 starts up but immediately shuts off.

I'm not very technologically savy but I think it's something wrong with the startup or battery.
lately, but not everysingle time, I go to turn the computer on the lights on the keyboard light up and the fans turn on and the back light comes on, but the it just shuts off.
I know that the laptop has a tendency to over heat (a lot) and then shut off but when I'm experiencing the startup issues, the computer hasn't been hot or used that much.
this winter we got the extended life battery for it and when I first tried out, I was having the same startup issues, but it's been about 4 months since that has happened and now it's happening somewhat regularly.
I hope this makes sense....

Hello Tara-louise,
I would be concerned too if my MacBook Pro was booting just to the gray screen with the Apple logo on it. I recommend following the steps in the article below for the issue you are experiencing:

I have the iPad 2 and it keeps dying, when it dies it wont turn back on, it shows the apple sign but that is it. THen it shuts off and does the same thing over again, I have tried holding the sleep/awake button along with the home button! HELP!!!

Please help!

I'm sorry, you are correct I am trying to restore my ipad because it stopped working.   We thought the battery was dead so we plugged it into the wall charger. All it does when plugged in is flash the apple logo like it is going to start up and then shut off. It repeats this every few seconds while it is plugged into the wall. I let it charge overnight and still nothing.
When I hold the power button and the home button down together while the ipad is plugged into the wall, it does flash then after I release the power button the connect to itunes screen comes on.   But when I connect it to my computer it goes blank.   itunes does not recongnize my ipad when I plug it into the computer. I have used the same cord to plug in my other devices and itunes recongnizes them so it isn't the usb cord.
It seems as if my system has crashed and I think this may just be an apple service trip for me. But thanks so much for the advice.   =D

I have same issue

Torch Wont Start, loads partway then shuts off or resets.

My Torch 9800 was recently went for a swim in rainwater. At first I didn't realize the phone was water damaged, and thought it has just randomly turned off, so I took the battery out, put it back it, and then it started making a static sound. So I immediately removed the battery and put the phone in rice. Unfortunitely got my time lines mixed up and tried to put the battery back in too soon and again the phone started making a static sound. So I took the battery back out, and put it back in rice worried that I'd fryed all the circuits. However, 48 hours later I put the battery back in and the loading screen came up, but when it went to the rogers screen pre-my wallpaper the phone reset and started to load again, then it shut off. Everytime I do a battery pull the led light comes on for a couple seconds, and then it shuts off and nothing happens. So I took the sim card out, and tried the batter again and the phone started to load then shut off.
I've found that If I leave the battery out for a while the phone will start to load, but either gets stuck at the 2/3 mark and will freeze there, or it'll shut off. Today I tried putting the battery back in, and the phone loaded to my home-screen, but then froze and shut off.
If I plug my phone into my computer through the USB the phone connects for a second, and then disconnects. I've tried with both the battery in and out.
I've also tried re-installing the OS through the loader app as mentioned (http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry), and through a force connect with desktop manager (by hitting update button when desktop manager tries to connect with my phone when I first plug it in to my computer, before it resets and disconnects). Both times the phone starts to load the OS, but when it comes to re-initialize the phone, it'll disconnect, then reconnect, but then after 4-5 seconds dissconnect again, and so I get the "Application Loader was unable to connect with your device" error while the loader is trying to recconect to JVM...
Is there any hope for my phone? I love my torch and was realllly hoping to hold out until Blackberry releases their new phones in the new year.
I think I might try soaking the phone in 99% isopropanol in hopes in might be just some mineral build up from the rain water.
But I'd really appreciate any suggestions anyone has to help me try and get my phone working again.
Thank you.

Hello...and apologies for the delayed reply!
Hopefully you already have resolved this...but just in case...
Applying power to your BB between it getting wet and doing the proper process (including the maximum waiting time) reduces the chances of success. Further, the only thing predictable about moisture intrusion into a BB (indeed, any electronic device) is that the results will be unpredictable. I've seen some come back up right away and be fine. I've seen others never work at all. I've seen still others run for a bit, and then die later. And every thing in between.
Good luck!

Ipad2 shut off after down the battery but when connect the charger my ipad2 is not storing the power in the battery and i also not finding the error code ???

If you drained the battery, it may take a bit for it to come back. I'd plug it in and leave it for a few hours and see if it's charging.
If not, you can try to do a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the white apple, let go and let it reset and see if it charges.
It's also possible that your battery has reached the end of its life. THey can only handle a finite amount of recharge cycles. If you can't get it to hold a charge, then make an appointment at your local apple store and explore your other options.

Did you try a reset, hold the power button and home button until you see the apple then let go? Did you try to restore as new in iTunes on your computer?

Hi daveormond,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iMac. If you continue to have issues with your Mac shutting down part way through the boot up process, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful (given your description, it sounds like it could be either issue, or a combination of both):

My BEATS speakers are connected to my Mac but I have no audio and do not understand how to turn off the speaker. I press the power button and not shut off. And the white light behind me indicating that this synchronized, does not turn off ever.

My iphone4 got wet and was working right after but I shut off and have in bowl of rice by dehumidifier. But now it only turns on when plugged in. If I take to an Apple store will they be able to tell me if it's salvageable ?

Apple will not attempt to salvage it. They will offer you a replacement iPhone 4 for $149.

Usually if you have some kind of hardware failure there is some beeping during POST or most motherboards now have LED indicators to produce and error message based on the type of failure
So if its bad memory, not place properly, mismatched, processor not inserted properly, mismatched voltage or voltage connector not present etc it beeps or generates the error id.
Power supplies can be tested for failure. There are some walk throughs for testing just them with a switch, paperclip or a jumper (I'd suggest not doing this if you are not familiar with the dangers of electricity).
Memory can be tested with memory diagnostics programs like Memtest+
Processors can overheat if the proper precautions have not been taken usually you will get a POST beep or error code for that.
If the motherboard has no response then do the basics first:
Check power connectors and power supply. Once you determine that is not the case move on to other items like graphics cards in all the way or memory.

After a few minutes on safari it freezes everything i can't even force quit i have to shut off by holding the power button down please help me with this. thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Ios7 - is there a way to shut off or clear the new photo stream activity?

Ios7 - is there a way to shut off or clear the new photo stream activity? I am not asking how to shut off photo streams, just would like to clear or shut off the new 'social' activity portion of photo stream

Thank you, but that is not it, and I am talking about the iCloud photo streams. I know how to modify who can see or post to a shared stream, that's extremely easy.
What is an issue is the new 'social' style activity that summarizes all of the shared streams. It now posts/summarizes them in an activity thread in 'streams', called "Activity"
I would like to shut that off or be able to clear that view. While I enjoy the occasionally funny pics I receive from old college friends in shared streams, I don't want that to show up in a 'cover photo' when I go to pull up pics in front of someone.
