Suddenly power off screen came on

All of the sudden, the power off screen came up asking me to power off the phone. When I clicked cancel, it went back to the home screen and I pressed the home button, it kept taking the picture on the screen and went back to the sxreen asking me to power off the phone. Or just frequently comes up the power off screen. If I did power off the phone and turn the phone on, it will be fine for a few days and it happened again. This had started to happen a numbers of time since April.

Camera going to "Slide to power off" screen

Yesterday, as I was taking a video, after about 2 seconds of recording my phone would pop up the "Slide to power off" screen. When I hit cancel, it went back to my home screen. I tried this a few more times and it happened again and again. I then power cycled the phone and it did it again. This would happen for both the video and still camera. It finally went away and now I can not duplicate the problem.
Do I need to take it into the Apple store?
iPhone 4 with 4.2.1OS.
Thanks.

So no one has experienced this? Please let me know if you have.
Thank you

Odd iPhone 4S Power off Screen

Hello, I got a new iPhone for my mom and was setting it up for her. At one point, I got an odd screen on the 32 GB white phone. I was downloading some of the apps that she wanted (QVC, facebook, etc). At one point, the screen showed a different "power off screen"? The screen was black with the letters "power off" at the top of the screen, it said "touch here" or something like that. I touched the home button and it went away. It hasn't come back at all. This was a brand new phone and this weird screen came up. It hasn't again and now I'm starting to wonder if I was seeing something??? Anyhow, did anyone else ever experience this? The phone works fine.....just wondering.....thanks

I bought the phone directly from Apple via the apple store So I'm assuming it's not fake and/or jailbroken ( I don't even know how or care to do so). Could they have resold it as new and it was at some point? That would be disappointing or is that something apple does?

How to resolve "you need to power off" screen looping

I fitted a new hard drive to my MacBook. Have restored from a Time Machine back-up. I have the "you need to power off" screen but every time I power off and power back on I first get the Apple logo screen and then the "you need to power off" screen.
I have read elsewhere it is probably caused by restoring a Snow Leopard backup using a Leopard disc. So I think I need to do the restore again but can't get out of the "you need to power off" loop....

Hello can someone please help me solve my issue to my iPhone update iOS 7 software. I updated it and now it's stuck in the power off screen showing an demonstration of the USB connection plug with an arrow pointing towards the iTunes logo. How do I go from there?

Hey Bianca71,
Thanks for the question, I understand how frustrating this may be. It sounds like the update process may have been interrupted, and to resolve the issue, we’ll need to restore your device in recovery mode with iTunes:

Sudden Power OFF - Satellite A110-195

Sudden Power OFF My Satellite A110-195 suddenly power off while using on A/C power, it happens many times a day after 1 to 1 and half hour use, the room temperature is 20 to 25 degree Celsius. Again I have to push the power button to switch on the laptop. Why its happing?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The classic cause of an uncommanded shutdown is overheating. The system shuts down to prevent damage. Had your power adapter failed, the system would continue to operate until the battery was exhausted and in that case you would get low power warnings before shutdown. If the system is under warranty, the best course of action would be to take it to a Premier (emphasis on Premier) Authorized Service Provider. If it is overheating, they will open it up, clean out the accumulated dust and dirt, remove and clean the processor heat sink and reapply thermal grease. If it's not under warranty, you can do much the same yourself - or at least as much as you are comfortable with. At the least you could blow out the air vents with a can of compressed air and see if the situation improves.

Fake lockscreen and power off screens appearing and cant slide slider on fake lockscreen

hi i have been having my screen frozen with a fake lockscreen with slider that wont slide i know it fake cause its not my lockscreen pic its my homescreen pic and when i try to power off then it show a fake power off slider i end up having to reboot

I Have been having the same problem sporadically and it is most certainly a fake lock screen, exactly as you describe. I have never jail broke my phone nor iPad.
it is really annoying and only happens sometimes. I have even seen the real lock screen and go to swipe it and it immedistely changes to the fake one and wont swipe. I have found i can swipe up in the camera icon and get the camera to start then cancel that and will be at main screen, but that means i have to leave the camera accessible on the lock screen.
it seems to come and go, i also noticed if i wipe ipad and reinstall OS, it wil usually not happen for a month or so then it is back.

How can I reboot my Ipad when I do not have access to the power off screen?

My device slide off my couch while in its cover. IT was working afterwards, for about 5 min. I sat it down while I took something out of the oven and was back maybe 5min. or so later. When i try to access it, all I see is a black screen. I cannot unlock it or even power off. How can I reboot it without the power off swipe ?

Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reboot/Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
Restore: Connect your iPhone to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory

Sudden Power Downs | Sudden Power Offs

We have just moved from one office to another office in the same small unit (rewired by professional A grade electricians).
We now have the following Mac Pro's suddenly switching off:
1/ Mac Pro QUAD 4 Core (3 months old, worked fine in old office) 10.5.2
2/ Mac Pro QUAD 8 Core (1 week old, worked fine in old office) 10.5.4
3/ Mac Pro DUAL 4 Core (1 year old, worked fine in old office) 10.5.3
Does anyone have ideas as to why this is?
Is it a system, OS X 10,.5.x issue?
Is it a hardware issue?
All (but the 8 core as it's too new to consider) have been fine till the move.
Or is it the electric's and the power draw on the system?
Mind you, shouldn't all the Macs go and not just these ones (together or separately)?
We have 12 other Mac's (Pro/G5/iMac/Mini, 10.4.11, + perriferals) on the power ring too.
I have read about MacBook Pro power issues but cannot find anything about Mac Pro's on the Discussions...
I think it's the wiring / electrics...am I correct?
Thanks,

I have a Mac Pro 8 Core and I've also had trouble with 3 seemingly random power downs. I noticed that an external HD on the same outlet was off (it does not turn back on when power is restored like my other HDs), which lead me to believe it was an electrical problem. The power never went completely off as far as I can tell, as the clocks still read correct time.
Until I can figure out and fix what is actually causing the shutdowns, I decided to buy a cheap battery backup which could help keep my computer up if I am just overloading the electrical system.
I bought the APC Back-UPS ES 350 Battery Backup/Surge Protector at circuit city for $30

Granted with as many computers as you are running, my quick fix is not as fitting a solution.

My ipod is flashing black and going to the power off screen? Never dropped my ipod, and did not get liquid in it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

Macbook Pro suddenly shuts off. screen goes black and won't turn off till after a few hours.

Hi everyone!
So I've had this problem from my macbook since months ago. It sometimes just shuts off by itself, the screen turning black and won't turn on until like after a few hours (sometimes a day, but sometimes you could also immediately open it just like that.)
When it shuts off and you plug the adapter it is still charging, the lights on the side of the macbook book still lights up just fine if you press the button on the side. the only problem is that it wont open until after a few minutes, hours or days (very unpredictable) (also tapping the macbook helps, I dont know if it "really" helps or not, but it works sometimes.) But when it open it will be working fine until another couple of weeks or 3 or a month (again unpredictable)
I dont know what's wrong with my laptop, please help me. It would be greatly appreciated! thank you so much in advance!

Hold the power button down for 10+ seconds. Then bring the MBP to an Apple store for an evaluation.
Ciao.

MSi GT70 - 0NE-276us Sudden Power Off/Will not Stay On

First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to read about my problem. No sob story, however this is my only computer and it was/is my work machine in the IT Administrative/Deskside Workplace. Any ideas are welcome.
I have an MSi GT70-0NE 276us Laptop. I bought it last year (Christmas). I was playing a game on Steam when suddenly the machine turned off. Using my troubleshooting experience, here is what I tried:
-Removing the battery and power supply from the machine and holding power button for 1 minute
-After testing with ONLY the battery inside the machine, pressing the power button makes a white flash and a shimmer of light sent to the keyboard, but doesnt actually turn on. It does this upon each keypress and does not skip a beat.
- I tried to connect the power supply directly into the laptop WITHOUT the battery connected, and it does the same thing. As for the battery indicator light, it does not stay on as it normally would when the power is connected to it.
NOTE: I have NEVER used my laptop WITHOUT the power cord connected; it is always attached since I know its a power hog.
- I have checked for any smells of burning/melting and there are none. The laptop was also not that hot when it cut off suddenly.
- Ive blown the mainboard/underside with compressed air and removed all of the dust
- Ive made sure the fan was clear and connected
- Ive reseated the RAM
- I have NOT tried another power brick; the one I received was refurbished.
- The LED on the power brick lights up but nothing is coming into the machine
- I have not had the laptop 10 months and its always connected to the wall/power outlet
So if it is the motherboard, I wouldnt be too surprised but Ive know MSi to make excellent motherboards, hence the reason I spent 2500.00 on it. A fellow IT friend said I may want to try a new power supply that has the exact specs your laptop needs. As if its possible the load on the end of the power brick that goes into my laptop may be done for.
I removed the Battery and noticed this:
The inside of the laptop after removing the battery say
MS 1762
DC Rating 19V=9.5A
My Battery says (MSi battery)
11.1 Vdc = 7800mAh, 87 Wh
..But the power brick reads
Input 100-240 V ~2A 50-60Hz
Output 19.5 Volts =7.7 A
He suggested trying a new power suppy but Im concerned its the motherboard (because us IT Guys know the motherboard will get you everytime)
So is it possible? Im not sure why they may have given me the wrong power brick, if it is wrong. He says the specs dont add up, and since each time I press the button and the white light flickers and part of the keyboard, he said it may be the power bricks' node that connects to my machine. Im used to motherboards that are done for the machine shows no sighns, no hints, no flickers. This is atleast flickering, just not coming on .
I know its alot to read and I appreciate all of the techs/other users time.

Thanks guys. Your input is not falling on deaf ears and it seems im getting reputable support via the forums with the MSi tech team.
It really is so weird. Today I tried the process of elimination from a video I saw on you tube. Now, keep in mind, each time the power button is pressed with either their power brick/battery alone in the machine, the power light and the 'battery' indicator light at the front of the machine flicker (each keypress; even if you do it rapidly).
I took the bottom tray off and checked the fan and blew it out with compressed air. Checked the thermal paste under the processor heatsink, checked the processor condition and all looks well there.
Tested by removing one connection at a time then testing for power (all along while testing, keep in mind I only have the 19.5v 7.7 amp power brick.)
- removed D:/ drive secondary then checked for continuity; no luck
- removed all 4 ram sticks and tested one at a time with the power supply connected; no continuity
- removed the keyboard ribbon cable and tested; still no luck
- removed (what I believe to be) the usb ribbon cable (hub with 3.0 ports) and tested for any indicator lights; still no luck
- unplugged the cmos for 5 mins and reconnected; still no luck
*NOTE: when I look underneath of the laptop when pressing the power button, the fan that has the gpu and the cpu heatsinks up against, it actually spins for a brief second; about as long as the power button flashes.
I stopped at some stores looking for a 180+ watt adapter and i couldnt find one that carried it. I wanted to test it before purchasing, so Ive avoided online purchase up to this point. However, I do realize I need one anyway at this point regardless.
My buddy has his own PC Repair shop. He doesnt have a power brick of that magnitude, but cant we get a voltmeter and check for continuity from not only the power supply, but also the jack soldered on the motherboard?
He is saying kinda what Dark is saying... Me, I think its a short somewhere... he thinks the computer asked for too much power from the power supply and probably burnt out the tip because at the time it cut off, I was playing a graphic intensive game, and in my USB 3.0 ports on a single hub, I had the following connected:
- A Logitech USB headset (wired)
- an XBOX 360 wired controller
- A Logitech G700 gaming mouse charging
Ive never had that many power hungry devices connected to one hub at one time before.

Suddenly power off screen came on
