T3i won't turn on out of the box

I just bought a Rebel T3i and it won't turn on out of the box. I've done everything exactly as the directions say, but each time I flip the "on" switch, nothing happens. I've managed to turn it on but ONLY by flipping the "on" switch, taking out the battery, putting it back in, then flipping the battery door closed (entire sequence with the "on" switch in place). So far, of all the things I've tried, this is the only thing that works. Has anyone else had the same thing happen or can help me figure out what might be wrong? I live in Africa and had the camera brought here with a friend, so unfortunately, just returning it isn't really an option at this point. Thanks!

And you are certain the battery is charged before you try?
Otherwise, returning, or warranty service may be your only options.

New 2010 mini won't complete boot out of the box

Never seen this before. I just unpacked a new unibody Mini and booted it up only to end up in a screen that shows a picture of what appears to be the underside of a mouse highlighting what I think should be the power button, and the spinning progress icon in the bottom of the screen. Powered down, unplugged all hardware except for monitor and still get to this point.
Looks like I get to do a fresh system install from day 1....lets hope the rest of my experience with this machine is better.

Word to the wise, the new mac mini won't boot if no mouse is connected. If you plug in a usb wire mouse, the system is supposed to detect this right away and continue the boot process. Mine won't do this.
Apple Care rep had me try the following all to no avail:
(1) remove power cord and other USB cords. Hold power button down for 10 seconds. Plug it all back in and reboot.
(2) zap the p-ram
Other tid-bit that is good to know. Apple treats the Mac Mini as a desktop which I was told means they do not want to do mail in support and instead want me to take the box to a support rep in my area, which in this case is not close. The support rep then put me on hold to see if they could do a mail in swap out since this did come to me DOA, and after about 10 min they set me up with a new one.

Flex 20, won't start straight out of the box

Hi,
Have just purchased an IdeaCentre Flex 20. machine type 10142, configuration number 57318057. Have plugged in and pressed the power button. The LED, top right, comes on but nothing else. Have powered off and then back on. Nothing is plugged into it apart from the power cable.
Any clues as to why it won't start would be gratefully received,
Mark

Yeah, I know what you mean, my heads in that place. It's just I don't want to be making a schoolboy error. It doesn't need the keyboard working to boot does it. I've put the batteries in but have no way of knowing whether its functioning or not.

My MacBook Pro 13" won't turn on 90% of the time I try to get it running, and when it does turn on, even on a charger, it shuts down if I stop using it for 2 seconds and it won't turn back on. Should I replace the battery?

My MacBook Pro 13" won't turn on 90% of the time I try to get it running, and when it does turn on, even on a charger, it shuts down if I stop using it for 2+ seconds and it won't turn back on. Should I replace the battery? It doesn't hold a charge either...

EmadJamal,
the battery won’t melt because of long connection to the AC charger, although that has the potential of reducing the battery’s life.
Do you have access to a second 60 W AC charger to test with your MacBook Pro, or access to a second 13-inch MacBook Pro against which your AC charger could be tested?

OR use this method
1. Press-hold the Home button (big circle below the screen)and the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.
2. Continue holding both buttons (Ignore the"Slide to power off") until the iPhone shuts off and begins to restart.
3.You may let go when you see the silver Applelogo.
Thats all Folks!!

My MacBook Pro shut itself down and now it won't turn back on and the power light keeps flashing a green and amber but very dull. Help please!

Hello Toby135
Reset the SMC or System Management Controller to resolve issues with the power on your MacBook Pro and power adapter.

My computer won't turn on. When the charger is plugged in it flickers between yellow and green

I was using my MacBook pro felt it charging and asleep for 4 hours. I came back and it won't turn on. When the battery is plugged in it flickers between yellow and green.

First thing to try would be resetting the System Management Controller. If that doesn't fix it you are probably looking at a hardware issue. Carry the computer in to an Apple store or service provider, or call Apple to set up service.
Best of luck.

Ipad wont turn on? It is brand new out of the box!

ipad wont turn on? It is brand new out of the box! What should i do?

You are holding down on the sleep button at the top of the iPad in the upper right corner - and waiting until the Apple logo appears?
You could try charging the iPad as well.

HT4623 just updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, now my phone won't turn back on. The apple logo comes on and sits then shuts off. I have held down the home button and on/off switch several times to reset, but same problem persists.

Place iPhone on Wall Charger for at least 10 minutes. Then keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, this can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger. If still problem, open iTunes 10.7 on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, then click Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, try DFU Mode Restore, here are the steps. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. DFU Mode can be difficult to enter sometimes, just keep trying. DFU Mode is a black, blank screen with iTunes saying Recovery Mode. If still problem and there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

IPad Air won't turn on after opening the smart case

iPad Air won't turn on after opening the smart case cover, it does not do it all the time but enough to concern me

Take both the iPad and the Smart Cover back to where you bought them for an evaluation. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Try resetting the SMC

If it has a removable battery, try removing the battery.
If neither works, then you may need to bring it in for service. Bring the power adapter as well, as you may be able to determine if it is the power adapter at fault, or the computer's power supply.

I left my 4s in the car for apprx 35 mins in 35 degree weather and the phone completely shut off and won't turn back on. the battery was fully charged

i left my 4s in the car for apprx 35 mins in 35 degree weather and the phone completely shut off and won't turn back on. the battery was fully charged. please help it is my only ways of communicating beyond my macbook

It probably overheated and shut down. Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears. This will take 10 to 15 seconds of holding both buttons.

EliteBook 8760w won't boot out of the box

As stated, this notebook won't boot out of the box. I get a screen that reads " Phillips windows 7 64bit image"
The below, there a boc to rnter a computer name and to search AD or a abort button.
I've run all the diagnostics and they are fine. I try to tap into f11 and I get a screen flash and then it goes back to starting windows and the usual Phiilps screen. I'm thinking just a bad image and a lemon from the factory.
Does anyone have an answer for me?
Thanks
-Thor

I bought iPod Touch 14.5 gb 2.21 (5H11a) a few years ago. Due to unexpected life issues, I was unable to take it out of the box, until May 2013. I set it up as much as I could. However, it won't upgrade. I keep getting -1 error. Suggestions please...

Error -1
Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.

The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
