Satellite P100 will not power up or has blank screen

So I have this laptop that has failed me about 4 months ago. Will not power on anymore. I can press the start button and it sounds like its working but there is nothing on the screen. I can hear the fan every now and again and then a beep after about 1 min after "start up" but screen looks dead. Nothing appears on screen at all.
I've tried the powering on with and without the battery.
My laptop use to get very hot and freeze as far as I remember.
I've replaced my Toshiba with other notebook but if my Satellite is not gonna work again is there a way I can get files off there still?
Thanks for your help.

Hi
> I've replaced my Toshiba with other notebook but if my Satellite is not gonna work again is there a way I can get files off there still?
You need the data and files from the internal HDD?
You could access the data connecting the P100 HDD as an external USB HDD to the other computer.
You could remove the HDD from the P100 and could insert it into a external USB caddy
I think the HDD supports the SATA interface so you have to look for SATA USB caddies
Regarding the P100 issue;
Well it seems to be a hardware problem We can speculate only about the kind of malfunction but for me it looks like a serious issue
The best is to get in contact with an notebook technician and to check the single parts
Good luck

Satellite L750 will not power on

Hello.
I have recently acquired a Satellite L750 laptop which has an issue where it will not power on but annoyingly it teases me by working perfectly on rare occasions to it seems to me as though there is some hope for it. When I press the power button the power LED will turn on for a second or 2 then go off again, the fan does not spin up at all and neither does the hard drive.
I first got it working by holding the escape key while pressing the power button, I was able to access the BIOS menu but I left it overnight after that. In the morning it failed to turn on again, this time it stayed powered on (i.e. fan, HDD and lights were on) but it didn't seem to POST correctly as there was no hard drive activity or anything on screen. This was fixed by relocating the only RAM module from one slot to the other, after this it was working perfectly again and I was able to use it for about 4 hours with no signs of any problems what so ever until I shut it off.
24 hours later the laptop is back to it's original problem where only the power LED will turn on for a second then the whole thing shuts off again. I have tried the escape key thing as before, relocating the ram several times, removing the CMOS battery for a few minutes but nothing works. I have removed each component one by one and tried powering on but the problem remains. I have swapped the RAM module with a known working one. The power supply appears fine even when under a 10 ohm load. There does not appear to be any visually damaged components on the motherboard.
If anyone has any idea what so ever then I'd love to hear it, be as technical as you want.

Hi
All you have done is right but Im afraid your possibilities to detect the main problem are very limited and on some point it should be checked by technicians.
As far as I know technicians have several procedures how to handle with such issues and exact instructions how to go forward with troubleshooting.
Several procedures are important:
1/ Message check (error message)
2/ Diagnostic Test Program Execution check (errors detection)
3/ Connector and Replacement check
On this virtual way it is not easy to say what is wrong there but system board is probably the troublemaker.
What are your options? Search for other mainboard and replacement maybe?

Satellite P100 will not stay in hibernate mode

Hi everyone~
Satellite P100
Vista
Before going to bed I always put my computer in hibernate mode. It won't stay in hibernate mode. I'm not talking about sleep mode here.
I click the start button then choose hibernate. It goes into hibernate and I go to bed so I don't know when it goes out of hibernate mode.
I used to have to press the power button to get it up and running after it went into hibernate. Along the front of the computer are 5 blue lights. I will call them a,b,c,d, and e.
d&e are generally off when I'm using the computer.
a, b, and c are lit up when I'm on the computer. When it goes into hibernate mode b goes out.
When I get up in the morning a,b and c are all back on and all I have to do is move my mouse around then log on instead of first pressing the power button.
I have some scheduled tasks but I've always had those.
Please help. Is there a setting I can do to take care of this issue? TIA

You can create an on task!!!
- go to Start > Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Administrative Tools > Task Scheduler- In the far right pane, click Create Basic Task.

Satellite L300 will not power on - no light on after power plugged in

Hi,
I have a problem L300 will not start, after you plug in the power cable non of the lights comes on. tried with and without battery,
Swapped the cable inside laptop that goes from the plug to motherboard with other L series laptop and makes no difference, Motherboard doesn't look burned or anything like that.
Just didn't switched on one day. Any ideas??
Cheers

Hey,
Sounds like a serious hardware malfunction Probably the mainboard needs replacing. I mean it cant be the charger if you have already tried two different chargers with and without battery so it must be the mainboard or another hardware part.
If you get in contact with an authorized service provider the guys can make an exact diagnostic what part is defective and if you want to replace it or not. Mainboards are very expensive
So just get in contact with the local ASP and ask for help. :)

TS3474 My nano will not power on when fully charged, screen remains black.

Bought early 2012, no idea what generation it is. When connected to the stereo, the screen illuminates and nano works with stereo controls. When I try to take the nano for a run, when holding the power button down the screen remains black and no amount of touching the screen will produce an image or any sound. Any ideas about troubleshooting the black screen when powering up un-connected?

Hello gatormother,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Will not turn on or screen remains dark
Connect iPod to power for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has enough charge to allow iPod to turn on.
If iPod does not turn on after ten minutes, try resetting it while it is still connected to power. Reset the iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least six seconds or until you see the Apple logo appear.
If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
If the screen remains dark and will not turn on, then your iPod may need service.
Have a nice day,

L655 has solid white power LED and soid orange battery LED and will not power on at all.

L655 has solid white power LED and soid orange battery LED and will not power on at all. I tried a second power adaper. Any other suggestions? It does not even try to power on. No fan or any other noises.

if it is not powering up on battery or AC, then there is either something wrong on the motherboard keeping it from powering up, or a bad power switch. I personally have not encountered a bad power switch on any of my Toshibas, so I would suspect something with the motherboard. It is strange that it does indicate that your plugged in and charging. If you leave the power adapter plugged in, does the battery status eventually go white?

HT4061 My iPhone 4 does will not power up once I have turned it off. When I try to charge it in the off position I only get "pinging". Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what is the remedy?

My iPhone 4 does not/will not power up once I have turned it off. When I try to charge it in the off position, the screen remains black and I only get continuous pinging tones. Has anyone had this problem? If so, what is the remedy?

Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue!

My iphone 4s without warning has powered off and will not power back up? any suggestions?

My iPhone 4s has just powered down without any previous indication of problems and will not power back up? Any suggestions?

Connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing keep on Charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to start.

Iphone 4s has vertical lines all across the screen and will not power down unless it is charging. What is the problem here?

My iphone 4s recently stopped turning on. I left it alone on the charger for a few days and now will power on just fine. However I have vertical lines going across the entire screen. I also noticed that it will not power down and stay off unless it is connected to the charger. Is this a hardware problem?

Try to Reset your device.
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).

Need Help HP DM3 (DM3-1130us) Laptop will not power on. No power at all except for light on a/c jack

Hello, I need some help.
I have a HP DM3-1130us Laptop that will not power on at all.
the only thing that happens when I plug it in is the power jack lights up.
When the power button is used absolutely nothing happens.
No power, no fans, no leds, no on/off cycles, no beebs, absolutely nothing
just the light by the power jack that says the cord is plugged in.
The laptop has Windows 7, 320gb hdd, 4gb ram.
I have tried new power adapter and still nothing.
I have taken the battery out and tried and nothing.
I've tried the option where you take the battery out and hold the power and nothing.
I have tried with different hard drive and no hard drive and nothing.
I have tried reseating the ram and tried new ram modules still nothing.
So I am kind of stumped on what to do, the laptop will just not turn on.
Its not under warranty anymore so cant send it off.
It has not been exposed to any elements(extreme heat or water).
and its never been dropped or anthing.
Im kind of wondering maybe the power button board its self is bad?
If feels fine, its not loose or anything but could it
have just stopped working? for those who are not familiar with this model.
the power button is on the side and is a kind of drag and release button.
Its also on the same board with the Wifi button and 2 Usb ports.
But Im wondering before I buy a new one if this is what it could be.
Or could the motherboard its self be bad?
But even if the motherboard is bad would it still power up
just not post?
Also does anyone know of any other way to try to power this laptop up
without using the slide button. I mean kind of like off a Dv6000 you can power the laptop on by using the Quicklaunch buttons on top but this laptop does not have those.
If anyone can provide any information I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

Hey Tyler,
Unfortunately it is difficult to troubleshoot this type of issue. The majority of the time when the computer wont power on with the same symptoms you described, the power supply board is faulty. Most of the time if the motherboard is bad it should at least turn on or so some signs of life. Like I said, this is most of the time. Sometimes it could do exactly what your experiencing. I would suspect the power supply board has failed since you are not receiving any sort of lights, sounds, etc.
You could check the motherboard for swollen capacitors or loose solder joints but sometimes you wont be able to find anything.
I hope this helps answers your questions,
Sean

My iPhone 5s will not power on and I need my serial number for support.

I am attempting to get help through Apple Support- Chat, but I need my serial number. It is not showing up in iTunes under the device preferences. Any other ways to retrieve the serial number through iCloud?
If anyone has any idea of what is going on with my phone, I would love some assistance. I live 45 minutes from the nearest Apple Store. Here's the situation:
About 2 weeks ago, my phone started shutting itself off and restarting randomly.
About a week and a half ago, I would randomly get a blue screen and then the phone would restart multiple times.
About a week ago I turned off Touch ID in an effort to resolve the issue, after reading some fixes from this community. That seemed to help. I do have the animation turned off, so I had read that there may be an issue between the Touch ID and animation reduction. If that had not helped, I was going to turn the animation back on.
Last night my phone seemed fine. I did hear it restart in the middle of the night once, but this morning it will not power on at all.
I tried connecting it to my computer through iTunes, but iTunes does not see it and I cannot access the device information from it.
My phone is less than a month old, and for the first two weeks it worked great. I am taking it into the AT&T Store today where it was purchased, but I don't really have high hopes for a resolution.
Any help is much appreciated!

Sorry AT&T store won't be much help.
I suggest you make an appointment with the Genius bar and then go to the Apple store.
