Soft Reset starts, then goes black on time date screen

Unable to turn on my Tungsten E, so I did a soft reset.  The logo comes up and then, only for an instant, the time date screen.  Almost immediately it goes black again.  I've tried several times, and I get the same result.  What could be wrong and how can I correct?

Sounds like your battery could use some juice. Try plugging your palm into the wall charger for 3-5 hours. Then try turning it on again.
If it still does not turn on, try the soft reset while it is plugged into the wall charger.

    Rented film from Apple TV  fully downloaded (eventually) press play now then screen goes to authorizing for 10 mins, then goes black blank, no film , repeated process 3 times, still no joy. first and last time I rent a film with Apple, how do I get my money back ? Thanks

    First, that cannot be an iBook G4 as that machine cannot run Snow Leopard let alone Mountain Lion.  To run Snow Leopard it has to be an Intel processor, not a G4.  What does it show as the Model Identifier in About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Model Identifier?
    Second, if you have erased the hard drive there should not be remnants of any prior content.  Even though Disk Warrior is saying nothing is wrong with the hard drive, it sounds as though there are problems.  You may want to consider simply replacing the hard drive so there are no questions about faults.  A good source is OWC, http://www.macsales.com where they also have on-line videos showing how to do the replacement.
    Third, you could also try again to restart using the Snow Leopard DVD/CD and use Disk Utility on that install disk to erase again, and do it a couple times, then try to install.  If it continues to refuse, then it sounds as though there is a fault with the hard drive.

  • I have an IPad 1.  For the past three days I've played Sims Freeplay without trouble.  Today it won't even open. It starts to, then goes black, then all the apps are visible again.  Any idea of what is going on?

    I have been playing EA's Sims Freeplay for three days.  Today the app will not open. It begins to, then goes black, then all the apps are there.  FB is doing it now, too.  Bookworm plays fine, as do other apps like ebooks and weather bug.  I don't know much about what goes on with an IPad, so any help is appreciated.

    - check the app store to see if the apps have an update available
    - delete and redownload the apps

  • Computer boots with Apple logo then goes black

    So my MacBook Pro boots up withe the Apple logo then goes black as if the it is set on the lowest dim setting, you can just barely make out the icons on the screen so it is booting into the log on screen. I tried brightness, I tried holding down shift, you get a flash of blue then goes black. I tried the startup disk it starts up and goes black, you can just make out the outline of the language selection on the startup disk.
    Any suggestions.

    1. Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down apple/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys.
    2. Boot holding down Apple/S and don't let go until you see scrolling text.
    When that stops and you see a root#: prompt enter
    fsck -fy
    Let it run through all the checks and repairs.
    If it fails first time, at any time, or finds and fixes a fault - run the command again and keep doing so (some fixes can take several passes) until it says "Appears to be OK" then enter
    reboot

  • When I charge my ipod, the apple symbol comes up as if it was turning on, then it goes black and repeats the process. Sometimes it gets to where I have to put in my 4 digit code to unlock it then goes black, any suggestions on why it does this?

    My iphone 5 will freeze up and turn off and back on. It will go to the apple screen and then go black MULTIPLE times before it comes back on. No buttons work while this happens. My phone is a week old.

    User troubleshooting is restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If you perform these steps and it still doesn't work, then make an appointment at the Apple Genius bar and have the hardware checked.

  • Hp w2338h monitor stays on for about a sec then goes black and will not come back on

    When I turn my computor on the monitor will only stay on for about a sec and then goes black. I can turn monitor off and on and it does the same thing. A new motherboard and been installed and computer works well with other monitors. Was using upgraded video card which has been removed and using orginal video card that came with computer. The monitor started acting up and before new board installed and would come on when monitor was turned off and then on. Now it just stays black after being rebooted or turned on. Can anyone help or have any ideas what could be the problem?

    Hi charlezr,
    I see that your monitor goes blank after you start up the computer, and I would be happy to assist you! To begin, I will need to ask you a few questions:
    What is the Product and Model Number of your desktop computer and monitor?
    What version of Windows do you have installed on your computer?
    Is this an on-going, or recent issue?
    In the meantime, I recommend following this document on when the Monitor or TV is Blank after Starting the Computer. This should help you determine if the blank screen is being caused by the computer hardware, the video signal to the monitor, or the monitor itself.
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!
    Regards
