Satellite A60 Shuts Down immediately after pressing power button

My A60 shuts down after 2-3 seconds when I press the power button for openning the laptop. After pressing the power button, all lights come on, but before anything appears on the screen, computer cuts off the power. Fun, DVD and harddisk sound working. At least, sounds are coming from the these hardwares. Also from the buttom of the laptop, I can see the fan is working.
This problems started nowhere. Yesderday, I closed my laptop properly and carry my laptop to my friends. When I tried to open my laptop, this problem occured and I could not open it yet.
I tried any combination of using power supply and battery for power. Non of them is working.
Is there any one had the same problem or have any diagonistics for this problem.
Thanks,
Emrah

@ Etjuh
Dont think its the same problem!
Your problem sounds more like overheating and the cooling modules cleaning could helps to prevent the notebook form overheating and from automatically shut downs.
The vacuum cleaner is a useful tool ;) but be careful if you dont know how to do it please contact an technician!
PS: Do not post twice next time ;)

Satellite A200 23W shuts down seconds after pressing power button

Hi all :)
I have just bought a Toshiba Satellite A200 23W portable computer some hours ago.
I turn it on and i let it finish all the Vista installation.
After finishing Vista installation it asket to resturn the laptop and from that moment the laptop is "dead".
After pressing Restart computer (from Vista) the computer shut down with no problem but it never restarted!!!
After waiting some minutes i tryed to start it over by pressing the power button.
Now when i press the power button i can hear the HDD working and most of the time before i can see something on screen the laptop shuts down!!
Now i notice that both the battery indicator AND the DC IN indicator are flushing and stopping flash at moments.
From reading the manual i would assume that the DC IN indicator should not flash at all though.
I have tryed to unistall the battery and try to boot the laptop but in that case i can not even listen the HDD starting up!!!
I have try to unplag and replag the power cable (in the wall socket as well as in laptop) but again no result.
Any ideas of what has happened?
Many Thanks

I do not know what is wrong there and, in my opinion, it should not be so important for you. Contact your dealer as soon as possible and talk with him. Explain the situation. Maybe you will get new notebook. If not please contact nearest authorized service provider and let them check your notebook.
The notebook is brand new and it must work. Please do not wait too long.

MacBook shuts down immediately both when power button is pressed and when lid is closed

Hey there,
The mentioned issues have happened to me for a couple of years or so. Specifically, when I press the power button it shuts down right away along with a click. Same happens when it sleeps; the light starts glowing and before a full seconds passes, I hear the same click and it shuts down. It started around the same time my battery died out of nowhere so I always attributed it to that. Now I got a new battery and it's still there. I tried resetting the SMC with both methods. The built-in keyboard had coffee spilled on it years ago so it doesn't really work, but I tried the key combination anyway. It didn't fix the problem, so I tried unplugging the battery and holding the power button. That didn't work either. What could be causing this issue?
Thank you.

Your problem is way more complex, here's my standard answer:
"Whenever a liquid spill occurs the first thing that has to happen is the laptop should be shut down immediately. All power must be removed as soon as possible. It is especially important that the battery be disconnected and removed.
All affected parts must be removed from the laptop. No attempt should be made to start/restart the computer since this could potentially damage the logic board beyond all repair.
Then all affected parts would be washed in deionized water and blown dry with compressed air. (In a water spill the deionized water is probably not as critical. Depends on the mineral content of the water.) and blown dry with compressed air.This is especially true of the large chips on the logic board. Water can wick under them and cause havoc.
The logic board should be placed in a drying/dehumidifing oven for at least two days. Longer depending on the spill.
The keyboard is a separate matter."
Also red wine would be one of the worst things you could spill on your computer.

HP DV9700 not booting. Shuts down seconds after pushing power button.

My HP Pavilion DV9700, which runs Vista, stopped working yesterday. I never makes it to the Windows Startup screen. Posts messages to screen about which Function Key to press for Setup, Startup Check, etc.. then shuts down.
This started a day ago . I do not believe that windows is the issue.
I tried doing the hard restart.. blew compressed air in the power supply area.. not change.
Not sure what to try next.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Steve
This question was solved.

Hey,
You can try restoring the BIOS. The "magical key's" are in the document.
Also, just checking (as not mentioned) that you were able to test with a different AC adapter (without battery).

T400s shuts down immediately when pressing the power button

This morning, my T400s will not turn on.
With the power supply, it will not turn on at all.
With the battery only or with both the battery and power supply, it will shut down immediately after the first screen with the Lenovo logo.
And MIT is just out of warranty, I don't know what I should do.......
Please help me.
Thank you

Good day and welcome to the community.
Take a close look at all of your USB ports to see if any of the pins happen to be touching.
Regards.

My calendar just shuts down immediately after opening.

Hello, My calendar just shuts down immediately after opening. I reset the ipad and it still isn't working Any ideas? iPad 2

I only kow how to disengae yahoo but maybe the process will help for other email accounts linked to ipad calendar. Just remeber to go to email accounts and shut down any associations with other programs.
Here is what I did in yahoo.mail
Went to My Yahoo
selected quicklinks (on top left of page)
Calendar was not shown , so I selected more yahoo services at bottom of list.
Candar was among many and I selected it.
You then see your calendar with a margin on left that probably shows a checked box of te name of you calendar. Uncheck it.
Also check the subscriptions. You must decide what makes sense for you there.
To be more sure, delete any recent calendar entries in your yahoo calendar or ipad calendar that might have cuased the problem. that's what happened to me. I noticed the problem right after I accepted a ics invitation from some else. I think the ics invitation that I accepteed from my email was the real culprit but who knows. All I know is that all these things combined solved my problem.
Close the My Yahoo
Remeber to check your ipad for any associations and eliminate them and point the ipad calendar to icloud.
Reboot you ipad
Check for results
I hope this helps

TS1717 iTunes shuts down immediately after opening (Windows 7)

I'm having trouble with iTunes shutting down immediately after opening. I've tried reinstalling iTunes and QuickTime, but I'm still having the same problem. Any suggestions? I have a 64 bit version of Windows 7, and the iTunes installer file has "64" in the name, so I think it's a 64 bit version as well.

Do you get an error message when iTunes shuts down? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

MacBook Pro keeps shutting down immediately after startup chime

I booted into Windows 7 on my boot camp partition and was about to play Dirt 3 for the 1st time. I was in the options menu of the game and my MacBook Pro just shut down/turned off instantly.
I turned back on, holding in Option so I could boot into Windows again, but the computer just turned off immediately after the startup chime. I turned on again, this time I didn't hold in Option, so I could boot into OS X (my default startup volume) and the same thing happened - MBP shut down immediately after the startup chime. I tried again, same thing. I tried again, and this time it booted fine into OS X, and all seems ok.
Any idea what's going on?

Hi. When you were in the recovery drive doing permissions, did you try and run a repair of the boot drive? Did you try single user mode? Try these first and then go back and try to reinstall the operating system.When I say repair boot drive I don't mean permissions. There are both options in disk utilities.When you open disk utilities ,you will see in the left column two drives plus possibly a boot partition that look like an external driv. click on the second drive and in first aid use repair disk. If you still can't boot and it will not let you restore, you may have to do a clean install. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18869?viewlocale=en_US

Macbook pro wont shut down without holding the power button nor cycle for updates to restart.

macbook pro wont shut down without holding the power button nor cycle for updates to restart

Sorry I said sorta wrong. I can shut down and I can update to the point of restart but it just sat for 45 minutes after an update. It goes through the update and to restart then the bars chase each other in a circle and it never restarts. So I hit the power button and go through normal reboot but loosing the update in the process. It does not matter how long I wait for a natural reboot after an update or click to restart it will chase the little bar in circles all day literally and never reboot.

PPC MacMini shuts down immediately after boot, LED blinks

A client gave me his PowerPC MacMini which boots up but then shuts down after a few seconds. Unfortunately, there's not enough time to open the system preferences between booting and automatic shutdown.
I've tried to boot the computer from a system DVD and with "T" pressed for target mode, but it always boots up completely from the internal drive. Booting with "Shift" pressed boots in safe mode, but the machine still shuts down after a few seconds.
Interestingly, the power LED blinks about once per second. I wasn't able to find anything about this on the Net.

AndyO wrote:
If, on the other hand, the mini is starting up, and then failing, and the light isn't so much blinking as pulsing, then the system may be suffering protective shutdown as a result of overheating. That can be tested by seeing whether it runs longer after being left unplugged for several hours, thus being cold, than it does if it's been running (or attempted to be run) for some time, and is thus already warmed. In that event, the mini will need to be disassembled to some extent to try and identify whether the fan is running, the CPU heat-sink is firmly attached and the thermal pad which is squeezed between the underside of the logic board and the base of the system is replaced.
I have a Mac Mini Intel Core 2 Duo that is suffering almost the same symptoms (shut-down almost immediately after startup); however, it DOES appear to be for a variable length of time based upon how much time I let it sit and 'cool' down; therefore, I believe I'm experiencing an over-heating issue.
I've installed a matching 1GB pair of RAM about 1.5 months ago and all has been fine until now. The unexpected (which is now expected) shutdown after startup is occurring on both Mac OS X 10.5.2 and Windows Vista (on Boot Camp partition) ... of particular note ... the Windows side shuts down more quickly (likely due to it not having the same system monitoring/energy handling tools that would be available to the Mac OS X side ... so I would suspect it to over-heat sooner on the Windows side).
Successfully completed Hardware tests (simple & extended) reported memory and other system hardware was fine. 'Check/Verify Disk' on Mac/Windows side reported no issues with either partitions.
Attempts to reset the PRAM and SMC have not solved the problem.
There was one instance, after startup, that the fan ran at full speed continuously and noticed that the power light was not on at all ... at the time, I was on the Mac startup disk and it stayed up and running for about 20 minutes or more until I decided to shutdown and test the Windows side. Upon restart, the fan did not run continuously, and the Windows side shut-down shortly after start up.
Overall, I'm fairly convinced it is an over-heating problem. If anyone has any ideas or reference material to confirm or how-to-do "the CPU heat-sink is firmly attached and the thermal pad which is squeezed between the underside of the logic board and the base of the system is replaced" that would be greatly appreciated.
I am not ruling out sending the machine into the retailer for servicing/diagnostics; however, if there's a relative quick fix so that I don't have to identify and remove confidential/sensitive info first, that would be preferred.
Thanks.

Nokia Music Manager shuts down immediately after o...

Hi again, the music manager still shuts down straight away even after i've uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version. I have no idea why!
pc suite version: version 6.83.14.1
connectivity cable drivers: 6.83.9.0
solution : 7.7.10.0
Right now I'm unable to upload or organise any music because it shuts down immediately.
Thanks

Your best solution is to use some other tool to rip the music, then use File Transfer (USB mass storage) to drag and drop. It's much faster than using PC Suite.
i-Tunes allows you also to rip into AAC (m4a) and that works with N91.
I've tested WMP 9 and WMP10 (now beta testing WMP11) and they all work differently but work with N91 (both WMA and MP3 formats)
WInamp also rips into formats that are supported in N91.
If you don't want to pay for the encoder, use Audiograbber. It's great for Mp3
Is there a reason why you want to use Nokia Music Manager?
640K Should be enough for everybody

Newly installed adobe reader shuts down immediately after opening

I just installed Adobe Reader (on a Windows 7 computer) but when trying to open it it starts up and shuts down immediately. I have another PDF generator which came with the computer (Stat Nova PDF) which could be interferring with Adobe reader.
With Adobe reader installed neither PDF software works.
Is there a setting to make Adobe the default PDF reader?
I cannot risk uninstalling the original PDF software (Stat Nova PDF), as this is for an urgent job and cannot risk having no functional PDF reader at all.
Thanks for your help

Thanks heaps for that Pat,
It seems to have worked.
Just out of curiosity. Why does one have to re-accept the licence agreement when we already accept it during the installation process?
Thank you again for your help

IDVD shuts down when I press media button and click audio movies or photos

Hi guys - please help!
My iDVD shuts down immediately when I click the media button and then either photos, movies or audio - why is this and how can I rectify??

Sometimes when an application is not working properly its preference files have become corrupted. It is nothing that you cause, it is just the nature of preference files.
Close iDVD. Go to your Home(YourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.idvd.plist
Drag this plist file to the trash. Don't worry, iDVD will create a new fresh one when you reopen it. Reopen iDVD ad see if it works.
Post back if this does not help.
