Satelltie A200 - No power at all

Hi all,
after searching for hours, I've finally found a decent site, anyway, to the problem....
I have no power going to my laptop at all. I've bought a new charger and battery but still nothing.
I've read that there may be a connection burnt out inside or something?
Would i be able to rebuild it myself or take it to a Laptop hospital?
Thanks in advance
Adam

You bought new AC adaptor and new battery and nothing is working.
I think it was simply unnecessary to buy new ac adaptor and new battery and not to known what could be exactly wrong.
In my opinion you wasted the money.
It would be better to contact the ASP in your country and to check the notebook.
Then you would know whats wrong and could repair it or whatever
So what you can do now;
In my opinion you can only contact the ASP and to ask an technician for a detailed diagnosis.
Fact is that there must be a serious issue because as you said the problem cannot be related to AC adaptor and to battery.
I wish you good luck

X1 Any-room DVR, 3 nights have to Power cycle all 3 DVR boxes to see Recordings

On 7/2 I went to watch a DVR show in my bedroom, which is not my Primary DVR box. The recording was playing like a slideshow, skipping and moving at 1/100th of it's normal play speed. So I went into the living room to the primary DVR and checked the recordings from the Saved Programs menu and it told me that no recordings were available and Comcast was working to fix this problem. I then called Comcast customer service and a man sent a refresh signal for me, and it reset the primary DVR box, and then the recordings came back on the primary box. I went to check the secondary box in the bedroom where I had the original problem, and that box still was not showing any recording, it didn't have the same error, it just said that no recordings were available and to check if all my DVR boxes were plugged in. I asked the guy on the phone and he told me that I should unplug that one and plug it back in and that it should then work. I asked if he should wait on the phone in case it didn't and he said no, and that if it didn't, if I just waited another half hour it would be back. I hastily agreed and hung up.Well, they never came back that night. And I checked for another 2 hours. On the morning of 7/3, it still wasn't back, so I decided I would power cycle all of the boxes at the same time. I unplugged all 3, waited a minute. Then I plugged in the primary one, waited for that to come all the way on, waited 5 minutes after the primary box was all the way on and then proceeded to plug in the 2 other DVR boxes. Then I waited 5 minutes until after they were back live on TV to check the DVR menu (the original guy on the phone insisted that I should wait at least 3 minutes after the DVR box was turned all the way back onto live tv before opening the Saved Recordings menu). This seemed to work, the recordings came back and it worked fine for a little while during the day that day. Later that night I went to sleep really late after 12am. I went to play a DVR show in bed and it said again that my recordings were unavailable and to check all the DVR boxes. AGAIN!? YES. So I did the same thing again, I unplugged all 3, plugged in primary box, waited for it to go to live tv, waited 5 mins, plugged in the other 2, waited for them to go to live tv, waited 5 mins, then checked the saved list and it came back. Then it worked for the rest of that night.The next day on 7/4, I was out all day so I didn't really get a chance to watch until later on that afternoon, I can't remember if I watched anything DVR'd. But that night I went to bed and guess what!? The recordings were gone again. I did the same thing again. It worked for the night.Today, on 7/5, watched a couple shows on the DVR during the day, was still working. Went to bed at 9:30 pm... RECORDINGS ARE GONE AGAIN! SOOOOO I spend another 20 or more minutes power cycling and waiting and stuff, it works, I start to watch a show, 20 minutes in, it freezes, like it did the first night. I try to restart the recording several times. Still frozen. I try resetting just the bedroom box through the power settings menu on the DVR. When it comes back on, NO RECORDINGS AGAIN! TWICE IN ONE NIGHT. I am completely fed up at this point. I know if I call that you are just going to tell me to power cycle it or send a refresh signal again, and it's going to take another hour--and then it is just going to stop working again by tomorrow night!!! I am losing sleep over this at this point, literally. What is going to be done about this beyond power cycling and refresh signaling??? I refuse to spend any more time on the phone anymore at night when this happens, it wakes up my boyfriend who has work earlier than me.

This could explain the clipping, and the LOST recordings.... You did do the right steps to getting your Any-Room DVR working, but if those recordings are in the cloud and the cloud had issues, you wouldn't have seen them.... -=Ray=-

Blade 1000 won't power on all the way

The tab for the interlock switch was broken and I fixed that with some duct tape, but now the blade 1000 will not power on all the way - does not even get to an OK prompt. When I push the power button the fans come on and the drive starts to spin, there is a low beep after that then nothing - nothing on the monitor. I tried connecting with a serial monitor and still saw nothing. I replaced the motherboard and the power supply but still nothing.
Could it be the cpu's?

Go get the system documentation at Docs.Sun.Com
[http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/blade1000.ws?l=en&a=view|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/blade1000.ws?l=en&a=view]
The Service manual is there for the SunBlade1000
(and SunBlade2000 which is essentially the same system except for chassis color and cpu speed).
The PSU slides into the chassis and plugs into a power distribution board (PBD).
That power distribution board then further passes power to wherever it needs to go.
There are various wires and cables that need to be connected to the PDB.
You may have to dissasemble the entire computer and rebuild it so as to know that everything is connected as it should be.

HT1423 after power interruption -all my folders went back with 3 years dates, jow do i return lost files?

On what exactly? Your computer?
Do you have a backup off the machine that's stable?
Now your files are still likely there, it's just a naming issue or a PRAM/SMC problem for power and a cache corruption issue for the files.
If you don't have a backup of your files, copy everything you can to a external storage drive and disconnect it.
Next run trhough this list of fixes, I suspect the SMC/PRAM reset will help with the power issues and the #12 OnyX cache cleaning routine will set your folders right.
Remmeber after the PRAM reset to set your time and date correctly. Pehaps that is what s throwing off the date on the folders?
It's really hard to figure your problem out with the information provided.

Again your files are likely very much still on the drive, you can recvoer anything as long as it hasn't be secure erased or overwritten by new data yet
Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive

My iMac wouldn't turn on. This has happened out of nowhere, it was working really well before. checked my power cord and outlets everything's fine. The iMac has no power at all. no sound or anything, completely dead. It is only 1 year and 2 mos old.

I have purposely been ignoring your responses to my posts about the heat issues in the newer design iMacs, but if you want really want to ague the point...
First, the iMac is marketed as a desktop model Mac. Not a laptop or MacBook.
I have never owned a MacBook, so I can't attest to how much heat the MacBooks generate.
I Have two iMac models. A 2009, 27 inch screen iMac for myself. And a 2010, 21.5 inch screen iMac for my Fiancée.
As a desktop Mac these are hottest running desktop Macs I have ever owned. Period. I owned two beige Macs, a pre-G3 tower, aG3 desktop, a G4 MDD Tower, the original iMac, eMac, iMac G4 and now my current iMacs.
None of my previous Macs have ever, EVER ran this hot. I have never, also, had any component failures in any of the previous Macs I have owned, either. All of my Macs have been upgraded or modded to some degree over the years. About 2 years ago I had to press my old G3 back into service. Both my G3 and G4 models have been heavily modded. The G3 ran without issue for a close friend for over a year until that friend went out a got a Mac Mini.
That's a 1996-97 Mac my friend. And it still is in working order and hasn't had any failures.
The fact I am pointing out here is that heat is an enemy to electronic components.
Whether desktop iMac or MacBooks, tightly packed enclosures of heat generating computer components with fans that do not run fast enough at most times to cool off the interior or exterior, will and does slow roast computer components to premature failure.
I do not know how frequent component failure is in the MacBook line up. So I can't attest to those.
I do not participate in those forums.
This is why at some point in computer history, Super Conputers were liquid cooled. PowerMac G5 systems were liquid cooled because they ran too hot!
I have taken my own precautions to keep my iMacs' heat down as much as possible.
I don't have the money to keep buying a new Mac every 3-5 years when some catastrophic failure happens.
I had to purchase my iMacs used as I couldn't afford the cost of a new iMac with the specs I needed.
My idea, your idea and Apple's idea of acceptable operating temps we can argue all day long.
I feel, personally, that the operating temps are too high and exacerbate operational issues.
I Have been participating in these particular iMac forums for just over a year and have seen plenty of posts of iMac component failures due to both heat and dust, dirt issues from within the iMac.
There can be no other reason for all of these failures. The SuperDrive is, usually, the first to go bad.
It's probably due more to its vertical mounting, but the excessive interior heat isn't helping it.
Next to fail is the GPU. The last to fail, but the most expensive to fix, the Logic Board.
I Have seen plenty of posts in my last year here of all of these failures in iMac less than 5 years old and ,perhaps, a little older. 2008 model iMacs seem to have their issues, too!
Apple is focusing too much on design and aesthetics, rather than longevity of their products, I feel now.
A Mac isn't going to last 7- 10 years anymore.
I don't have stats and numbers. Just common sense.
This is my story and I am sticking to it. For what it's worth.

My iPad Air when charging cuts in and out, also the charger is extremely hot. Have tried different chargers with and power outlets, all with the same outcome.

My iPad Air when charging cuts in and out, also the charger is extremely hot. Have tried different chargers with and power outlets, all with the same outcome.

The troubling thing to me is the fact that the charger gets extremely hot - according to what you are saying. The charger can get warm and can get fairly warm when the iPad is charging, but it should never get extremely hot. Make an appointment at an Apple Store, take the iPad, the cable and the charger with you and ask them to look at everything for you.

Satellite A200-AH1 - power LED flashes blue

Hi
Ok I got a old laptop it's a Toshiba A200-AH1 it's was working ok then just stop ... the wannabe IT Tech in my home town said that it was the External Power adaptor so we bought a brand new one now all that it does is flashing ... si to be sure i'm talking about the blue light beside the picture of a power cable the one to the left of all the little pictograme of cd, battery, HD ect ect ect
The rate of flashing is steady at bout 2 blink per second more or less
Please help me out

Hi
From my knowledge the power LED flashes only if an error has been detected on the motherboard.
I think you should contact the Toshiba authorized service provider in order to find out what is exactly wrong with your notebook.
I think the ASP technician has more experience with Toshiba notebooks as an common wannabe IT technician.
Good luck

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

How can I reset my iPod Touch with no power at all? It doesn't charge with the power outlet or with the USB cable...

I realized this morning my iPod Touch was not charging. I left it charging all night but nothing.
I read i have to reset it, but since now is fully uncharged, it does not allow me to do anything...
I tried to charge it with all possible resources (USB, different chords, power outlet, etc) but still out.
Should I take it to a Genius Bar?

I would try here first.
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
Then to the Apple store.

Please Help! No Power At All!

I have a satellite A105-S2101. It was working fine, then there was a power surge/brief outage while I was using the laptop and now it will not turn on at all. Any ideas?
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

AND THERE IS NO POWER
COULD THE POWER BOARD BUTTON BE BAD AND BE CAUSING THIS OR DO I NEED TO REPLACE
THE MOTHERBOARD
THANKS

Really Weird Problem... No Power at all, runs perfectly off the battery...

Hi All,
Last week, I took apart my previously white MacBook (from late '06) and basically transported everything to a black casing. Somehow, after the process, I was left with two problems, one far more serious than the other...
1) It will not charge, nor will it even detect that the MagSafe is plugged in. Nothing.
2) One of my RAM slots is out of commission for whatever reason.
Before that, I already had an issue where it wouldn't sleep when I closed the lid.
I tried changing the MagSafe board... It initially didn't work. Then it worked on 2 separate occasions from two different chargers. Now it doesn't work. I'm currently running on battery power and the laptop appears to be perfectly functional other than the problems I noted above.
Is it even worth taking in to have it looked at by a Genius or do I need a new Logic Board?

i no this wont help at all but i have the same exact problem with my ibook g3. i took it apart to fix a part and when i got it together it wouldnt charge. and it worked with a different charger about 2 times and now i have to use a external battery charger. i even put in a new dc in board and the same thing.

Power issues all over: is this the end?

Full historic on the laptop:
- PB G4 15" 1.67 GHz bought in May 2005
- logic board replaced under warranty
- hard drive replaced under warranty last year
- battery was part of the battery recall program
- AC adapter died late last year, the thin wire finally came undone and I stopped using it as I started seeing sparks...
I then bought a third-party replacement AC adapter. My replacement battery also started to show its age after more than 300 cycles. I was starting to have issues with me leaving my PB more than a day under sleep, I would have difficulty waking the computer up (had to remove the battery, reset the PRAM, etc...). Finally, a couple of weeks ago, that same occurrence happened again but this time, impossible to charge the battery back. Computer would start fine from AC, I would pop in the battery but it would stay at 0% even after a day being plugged in.
I decided it was time to buy a new battery (NewerTech from OWC) and things were looking good last week. Everything was working fine and I was back at 3+ hours of battery life... Then yesterday, I left my PB open on my desk, plugged in. I came back a couple of hours later, impossible to wake it up. If I press the power, I get the chime, fans kick in and then nothing. Even removing the battery and resetting the PMU with the power button was not working. Only thing that worked was leaving the computer w/o battery and power for like 30 minutes and then starting again to power it up... At first I got a kernel panic (grey screen + noway sign) but after a couple more tries, I was able to start and everything seemed to work fine... But today, again, I'm unable to power on the PB...
Any suggestions? Do I have to start looking at the 13" MBP? It stinks cause I was really hoping I could eek out enough from the PB to have a USB 3 laptop as my next one...

thing is, the release notes state that messing around with core settings in audio prefs can help but they add that different settings will be needed with different projects and i jus can't be bothered to start with all that considering how stable things have been 4 me in the last year or more
maybe i have slightly over-reacted (after one stressful week) but comments like the above (from sliderson) are truly dull & limited. this board is full of peeps lamenting crashes with 9.1.3, big thanx to those like mike connelly who can offer something positive in the midst of general panic
hopefully i'll change my mind as i continue to monitor the consensus of the community here, particularly around this issue of settings for numbers of cores. when peeps who know much more than me about the inner workings of macs tell me these settings really solve the issues i'll listen and take note

Equium A200-196: Cannot get all speakers to work with Creative T7900 home cinema system

I run windows Vista home premium, on my Toshiba Equium A200-196, and i have a 7.1 Creative T7900 system.
I cannot get all speakers to work. Only the woofer and two front speakers are currently playing sound.
The sound option in the control panel doesn't give me any options besides stereo speakers.
I have no option of selecting 5.1 or 7.1 speakers and i need to know do i need a software driver (all drivers are showing up as up-to-date), or do i have to change some other option, or purchase an external sound card?
I only have two jack inputs, a mic in and headphone out. How can i get all speakers to work and achieve the home cinema experience?

Hi there,
I dont think that the sound card is capable to do 5.1/7.1 since there are many more jacks required then only one "sound-output".
If I were you I would purchase a external USB-soundcard which is capable to do 5.1 or 7.1 to deliver you the full home-cinema experience.
Another solution is not existent. Sorry mate.
greets

HP Officejet 6310xi won't print - keeps blinking "reset power" and all lights flashing.

I have an HP Officejet 6310xi that won't print. When you select print, the paper begins to feed then suddenly stops before any printing begins and all lights on the face of the printer begin blinking and the message "RESET POWER" blinks in the screen readout of the printer. When I turn printer off and back on, the screen indicates a used color cartridge is inserted and I hit OK, then indicates used black cartridge is inserted, then I hit OK, then it says it needs to align cartridges, I hit OK. After trying to align cartridges, it suddenly stops and goes back to all lights flashing and screen flashing "RESET POWER". I can hit cancel during cartridge alignment and printer goes to normal ready position. I can then print a test page. But as soon as I try to print anything else, even the diagnostics page, it goes back to flashing all lights and "RESET POWER". I did a semi reset (unplug, wait, plug in holding #6) and a full reset (with #9). That did nothing except wipe out the date on the screen read out of the printer. So I know the full reset executed correctly but it did not solve my problem. Please HELP! I am reposting with email me selected - I'm new at this posting to forums...
