Stream 8 will not power on any longer
Do you see nothing in the display at all? When you first plug the charger in, do you see the charging pictogram in the display for 6-8 seconds?
There have been a few other threads here about the Stream tablets going dead and I think there was unfortunately no other fix other than a warranty replacement. You might try plugging the charging cable into another computer's USB port to rule out that the AC adapter is not bad although it is probably okay.

New W540 will not power on any longer
Short story:
W540 config below
Arrived, bios 2.09, set intel rapid boot off
worked for 1 week
Then it refused to power on
No indicators when battery plugged in and power or battery plugged in and no power.
with power, and no battery only the power button blinked 2x. No other response.
Lenovo's action: return and get a new system. After waiting 6 weeks to get it, this is not what I expected froma rather expensive system. I should have heeded the warnings on this list.
I see on another list tthe E440, ithink, it was a cmos battery issue. Does anyone know what the issue is with the W540?
Thanks.

W8.1 64 EnglishI too had a similar problem. The brick went bad.
I had to use a Fluke meter to measure the voltage at the tip, as there is no light on the brick, nor is there a functional light on the computer.
Yes, it is supposed to flash a couple of time if there is juice in the wire, but my issue, was that it supplied power, but failed under computer drain initially, until it gave up. My screen kept flashing when power was on, and power was off. Effectively, the screen became my power indicator.
Having had similar issues in the past with switching supplies that had a thermal breaker built in, I waited hoping it would reset. BUT, no light on either the brick or the computer, just wasted my time trying to solve the problem the normal way. If there was a light, you would know immediately. It finally gave up life, and never revived. No light on the brick, and NO indicator light on the W540.
The new brick was made by another vendor, and runs much cooler. If you want the markings on the broken brick, v.s. the new one, just ask.....
Not acceptable, but stuck with this..... At the end of the year, someone at Lenovo will get a raise, based on sales....

Plug it into the computer and start iTunes. Hold down the sleep/power button and home button together for 10 seconds, then release the power button and continue to hold down the home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recovery mode has been detected. See if that works

Macbook Pro died and will not turn on any longer
I am hoping someone can give me some insight into what has happened with my Macbook.
I have a 2008 17" Macbook Pro A1261. The other day I was working on battery life and noticed it was about to drain, so I plugged in my adapter. The adapter was not lighting up and I assumed that it had just stopped working. My Macbook is completely dead at this point. I bought another adapter (the newer L shaped ones) and when I plug it in the light comes on green but does not change colour to amber. When I try to power my mac on it does not come on with the battery in or removed.
I have tried an SMC reset, holding shift, etc. and nothing has worked thus far. My issue is that how can my macbook all of a sudden just "die" when it was working PERFECTLY fine before the battery drained? I assumed buying another adapter would fix the issue.
Could this simply be because my macbook does not yet have the firmware installed for the new L shaped adapter? If so what steps can I take to install the firmware? I know it is not the magsafe adapter because I have tried two others with no luck.
Please help!Hi all, I finally took my macbook into the apple store and met with a genius. I am really not satisfied at all and I will explain why.
My macbook was working fine until the battery died, it was powered on and functioning etc. and it was just my cord that had the issue (until the battery drained completely). I have seen a lot of posts about macbooks just not turning on until the battery that has died is charged and inserted.
The day of the appointment I took another look at my macbook after leaving it idle for a few days. At this point, the battery has actually expanded and broke out of it's original case. This happened while the battery was drained and the macbook was off and unplugged. From what I have read, this happens all the time with these batteries and there was a program put in place to replace them at one point?
When I got to the apple store, I explained my situation (cord did not light/charge macbook, then macbook battery drains and now it will not turn on) and the tech basically told me that it is for sure the top case and the power button just "doesn't work", so I will need to spend $200 to replace the top case and then they "can go from there". He said it is either the top case or the logic board. I asked him why the logic board just mysteriously "broke" when the battery died. He told me that "these things start in one spot and spread like a cold". I am really disappointed in the service I got from them, he literally asked three questions and then said it is the top case and the logic board and that I need to buy both. It didn't give me any more confidence that this guy was 25 years old wearing a fitted hat at work (like a NY hat or something, and I hate to stereotype but he lived up to it unfortunately).
Also, he made it seem like I needed to pay for the top case first before they would spend any time even looking at my macbook to see what is wrong.. is this correct? You need to purchase a part or they won't open your computer?
Disappointment aside, I believe my next step is to obtain a fully charged battery and use that to start my macbook. I will post what happens if I can find a charged battery. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. -
My 5510 photosmart printer will not print black any longer, I have tried everything !
I have the hp photosmart printer 5510. It has stopped printing black. I did numerous cleanings, turned if off and on using the formula stated in the help section...nothing is working and I cannot keep wasting my color ink printing test pages over and over. This is frustrating obviously there is an issue with these printers! Can i get this fixed or am i going to have to box it up and ship it back to hp???
Sorry to hear you are having problems with the printer. Have you tried another Black cartridge to rule out if the replacement cartridge was a problem? I would pull out that cartridge and check to warranty ends date that is printed on the cartridge's label. Also reseating all the cartridges might help. Pull them all out and insert them back in to reseat them. If you have done these steps too you might want to call in to customer support so they can look at this hardware issue. If you are in warranty they can look at various options to help you out. I am including a link to a document that is used for this issue just so you can look over it and check off everything you have done. Here is that link :http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=110&prodSe...

I just installed OS X Yosemite on my MacBook. I now cannot get the computer to start up. If I hold down the power button to try and power it back up, it will not start. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Download and install the OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Combo Update.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Alternatively, see:
Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Choose the version you have installed now:
OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet

my macbook air keeps coming up with a message" are u sure u want to shut down..etc" after which it switches off by itself. now it's off and will not power on altogether. any suggestions?
Does it power on if you plug in the charger?
But to be honest I see in your description it says 'Late 2011' so there is a good chance you have warranty right, I would take it to Apple store and let them sort it out -

My brand new iMac will not power up after an update restart, any suggestions?
Any suggestions on why my IMac will not power up after it done a restart?
Try an SMC reset and PRAM reset: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603
If that doesn't help:
See if it will start in Safe Boot: restart holding down the Shift key until you see a grey progress bar, type your admin password when prompted, let it continue to (hopefully) boot. Restart as normal from the Apple menu.
If that didn't help, try booting into the Recovery HD: restart holding down Command+r and choose Disk Utility from the four choices when they appear on screen. Once DU has launched select your Macintosh HD on the left and click on 'repair disk'. If anything gets changed click on repair disk again until you get a clear pass, restart as normal from the Apple menu.
If you still have problems, give AppleCare a call. -
My iPhone 5 will not power off. I hold the power button down and it lets me turn it off but then it automatically turns back on. It is as if I am just restarting it. Any ideas on how to fix it? I already had it exchanged and the replacement is now doing it.
I had this same problem about a year ago. It is most likely because debris has been caught in the cable connector. Get a cotton bud or something soft so that you don't cause any damage, and gently clean the inside of the dock connector of your phone. Do not use any liquids. Hope this helps.

My iPad 2 will not power on. Any ideas on what to do? Thank you.
If not successful try the remaining items of:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
