T400s shuts down immediately when pressing the power button

This morning, my T400s will not turn on.
With the power supply, it will not turn on at all.
With the battery only or with both the battery and power supply, it will shut down immediately after the first screen with the Lenovo logo.
And MIT is just out of warranty, I don't know what I should do.......
Please help me.
Thank you

Good day and welcome to the community.
Take a close look at all of your USB ports to see if any of the pins happen to be touching.
Regards.

  • MBP shuts down immediately on pressing the start button

    Hi !
    I have an early (1.st generation I guess) MacBook Pro, that has taken on a weird behaviour. The issue has arised while a child was fidling about with th computer, so how the illness occured, I don't know :-/
    The symptom is really annoying: as soon as the power button is pressed, about 2 seconds of HD spinning can be heard, and then the shut-down click sounds. Nothing can bring the computer to life. The battery is full, and the power cord is fully functional.
    Anyone with an idea of what I have to do to bring the computer back to life?
    Best, Pino

    I have opened up the MBP, dismantled the DVD drive, and extracted the DVD inside, reassembled and restarted. No effect. So, it's not the DVD drive causing the problem.
    For some weeks, the MBP has  had no power connection, and I was suprised when I yesterday reattached the power cord and tried to start up the thing. Absolutely nothing happened. No sound or action whatsoever. But after beeing connected for an hour or so, things were back to normal: clicking starup sounds from spinning-up hardware, but immediate shutdown after two seconds.
    This leads me to ask the following question: could this be caused by a some little battery on the motherboard? It seems to me, that the problem is connected to insufficient charging, but the Mac should be able to operate without its main battery, when the powercord is connected and lights properly up.

  • Safari will lock up on my MacBook Pro. Force quit doesn't help. When I try to restart the computer, I get an error saying Safari cancelled the restart. I have to press the power button to shut down the computer.

    While I'm using safari,  it will freeze up. When I force quit safari and reopen it, I find that I'm back to where I was when I did the force quit and safari remains locked up. When I try to restart the computer, I get a pop up that says that safari cancelled my restart. I then press the power button to shut down the computer. When I reboot the computer and open safari, I see all the tabs and windows that were opened when this issue began, only this time safari isn't frozen. This problem started yesterday.
    Has anyone experienced the same problem? Is there a fix for this problem?

    Try Resetting Safari: Open Safari. Cick on the name Safari in the menu bar. In the drop down menu click Reset Safari.

  • TS2570 I have MacBook Air late 2011 with encryption enabled the mac froze so I just shut it down by pressing the power button .But the when I tried  booting the gray screen appeared nothing else

    I have MacBook Air late 2011 with encryption enabled the mac froze and I pressed the power button to shut it down but then the gray screen appeared no wheels nothing just gray. I tried all steps but nothing helped. Worse than that only the pram key combination works I cant get the cmd-r or just alt or any combination to work??? Any suggestions would help. Thanks!
    P.s. I am on mountain lion with ssd encryption enabled.  The mac froze when the internet stopped the one from the cable (I use ethernet usb one) when I turned wifi on it froze.  I have disconnected everything when trying the steps except power cable.

    Boot into Internet Recovery (command-option-R at the startup chime) and try to repair the boot volume in Disk Utility. You will have to unlock the volume before you can do anything with it.

  • Satellite A60 Shuts Down immediately after pressing power button

    My A60 shuts down after 2-3 seconds when I press the power button for openning the laptop. After pressing the power button, all lights come on, but before anything appears on the screen, computer cuts off the power. Fun, DVD and harddisk sound working. At least, sounds are coming from the these hardwares. Also from the buttom of the laptop, I can see the fan is working.
    This problems started nowhere. Yesderday, I closed my laptop properly and carry my laptop to my friends. When I tried to open my laptop, this problem occured and I could not open it yet.
    I tried any combination of using power supply and battery for power. Non of them is working.
    Is there any one had the same problem or have any diagonistics for this problem.
    Thanks,
    Emrah

    @ Etjuh
    Dont think its the same problem!
    Your problem sounds more like overheating and the cooling modules cleaning could helps to prevent the notebook form overheating and from automatically shut downs.
    The vacuum cleaner is a useful tool ;) but be careful if you dont know how to do it please contact an technician!
    PS: Do not post twice next time ;)

    Hmm. The problem still may be the RAM - Apple buys the RAM it puts in its machines from third-party vendors (usually Hynix) so it could be a RAM problem.
    There are a couple of things that you can do yourself before taking your machine into an Apple Store or an AASP... download and run an application named Rember that will run a RAM test for you - let it run for a couple of hours or even overnight. If it turns out that your RAM is faulty, Rember will let you know. If it is faulty, then you have a couple of options - replace the RAM yourself or (particularly if you're under warranty still) take the machine to an Apple Store or AASP and have them replace the RAM.
    If Rember finds no fault with the RAM, then you'll need to take it into an Apple Store/AASP and get a free diagnosis on the machine. Three beeps do usually indicate faulty RAM, but if it tests good with Rember you likely have another problem - it could be something as simple as the RAM, somehow, not seated correctly or signs of another hardware problem.
    Run Rember first... call back with results.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • RMBP: Sometimes, after having been shut down, i have to press the power button several times before the machine starts up. It's 3 weeks old, and this has happened 2 times now. Is there something wrong with my rMBP?

    Did you purchase the Mac new?
    You have 14 calendar days from the time your items are delivered to initiate a return as noted here.
    Even though you are past the 14 day limit, if it were me, I'd take the Mac back and explain what's going on. Your Mac should work out of the box.

  • Kernel Panic: You need to restart you computer. Hold down the Power button until it turns off, then press the Power button again.

    I apologize for writing a book, but I think explaining the full story may possibly get me a correct answer.  I hope that someone can give me some insight as to what is the problem with my MacBook Pro.  I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2008), model identifier: MacBookPro4,1 running OSX Lion 10.7.5 with 6 GB memory.  My wife first noticed a problem with the display.  Every so often it would get fuzzy with jumping lines going across the screen making it vitually unviewable.  The final time that incident took place the computer froze which required holding down the power button to restart the computer.  The computer started up to the point of the Apple logo and the spinning gear for quite some time until the screen darkened from top to bottom displaying the following message in five different languages: "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button until it turns off, then press the Power button again."  I have read other blogs and support communities where people get the message intermittently, but my computer would not go past that point no matter what.  Through research and the Apple Store I was told that this is a Kernel Panic.  The so called "Apple Genius" at the local Apple Store was unable to get the computer to boot past that point even with his gadget.  It would not startup in recovery mode, safe mode or off of a disc.  I forget exacty what he told me, but he said it was getting past the first two startup steps, but it would not get past the third step which is to mount the desktop.  He guessed that it may be a problem with the hard drive; a loose wire or something or other.  I disconnected the hard drive completely and took it out.  Everything appered to be connected properly.  Then I installed it back correctly, but it did not solve the issue.  So I guess I disproved his theory of a loose wire...  I purchased ProSoft Data Rescue 3 and connected my MacBook Pro to another Apple computer using a firewire 400 cable.  I was able to get everything I needed off of the hard drive.  I did some more research and I decided to restart the MacBook Pro in verbose mode (holding down the command button and V button).  The computer magically started up!!!  I was upset that I wasted my money on the ProSoft Data Rescue 3.  I managed to take additional items off of the computer and back it up on to an external hard drive.  After some time the computer froze.  I repeated the power button process to restart and received the same kernel panic.  I managed to get the computer to startup approximately six or seven more times via verbose mode; each time the computer staying on for a shorter amount of time before it would freeze.  I managed to run Disk Utitlity.  I performed first aid to fix the hard drive and it said that the hard drive appeared to be fine.  After first aid I erased the hard drive and booted off of a Lion disc to perform a clean install or an erase and install.  Lion installed until the progress bar got the the end where I received a message that there was an error installing Lion, please try again.  Each time I attempted to install the software I would receive the same message.  Eventually the computer would not boot from the Lion disc.  I went back to the Apple Store and the Apple Genius was able to get the computer to boot off of his gadget where Lion istalled completely.  I set up the computer as a new computer.  He said that he partitioned the hard drive as DOS and then back to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) which would get rid of any errors the drive may have had.  He guessed that the problem was the hard drive, but was not exactly sure.  When I brought it home I installed all of the software applications I had on it previously.  Approximately three days later, which may have been the fifth of sixth time starting up the computer, the display became fuzzy again and the computer froze.  The computer did restart once and I was able to retreive a "log" which I have pasted below.  After if froze for the second time it restarted once using verbose mode and froze almost immediately.  After holding down the power key to shut it down and then restart; I received the same kernel panic after the Apple logo and spinning gear which put me right back to square one.  Now the computer will not boot via any method.  It freezes at the end of verbose mode which forces you to hold down the power button to shut down.  I also read that poorly seated ram may cause this issue, but I removed and installed the ram multiple times.  I even purchased new ram from Other World Computing (Mac Sales) 6 GB, but that did not make a difference.  I think I may see six possible problems on the verbose screen mode, five errors and one warning; I will type them out here:
    1. SMC: :smcReadKeyAction ERROR: smcReadData8 failed for key $Num (kSMCKeyNotFound)
    2. SMC: :smcReadKeyAction ERROR: $Num kSMCKeyNotFound(0x84) fKeyHashTable=0x0
    3. SMC: :smcInitHelper ERROR: MMIO regMap ==NULL - fall back to old SMC mode
    4. WARNING - ACPI_SMCCtrlLoop: :initCPUCtrlLoop - no sub-config match for MacBookPro4,1 with 8 p-states, using default stepper instead
    5. SMC: :smcReadKeyAction ERROR: smcReadData8 failed for key MOTP (kSMCKeyNotFound)
    6. SMC: :smcReadKeyAction ERROR: smcReadData8 failed for key BEMB (kSMCKeyNotFound)
    I was hoping that someone could read my log to ascertain wether or not they see a problem that stands out.  I was also hoping that someone could tell me if verbose mode provides any information that may be wrong with my computer.  I just hope that someone can give me some insight as to what may be wrong with my computer.  If it is the hard drive I will easily replace it, but I want to make sure that is the problem first before I waste money on a hard drive or anything else.  Please let me know if anyone requires any other information from me.
    Thank you!

    I had already written a book and I did not want to bombard people with more information, but in my previous research I did come across the major issues with the NVIDIA card.  I also was well aware that Apple offered a replacement program that ended in December of 2012.  I was going to add that in my original post, but I discounted that theory because I put my faith in the so called "Apple Genius" when I made my second trip to the Apple Store.  I brought the NVIDIA card issue to his attention and asked him if he thought that may be the problem, but he said no.  He said if it was the NVIDIA card that the screen would be completely black and there would be no startup chime.  When I experienced the screen issues I thought it was a problem with the NVIDIA card or the logic board.  I asked myself, how can a flawed hard drive cause the screen to act funny.
    nbar and Rick Warren, I thank you both for your help and insight; people like you are the real "Apple Geniuses."  I was hoping there was a way I could wipe the hard drive before I dumped the computer or attempted to sell it.  I guess I will look into purchasing a new machine when I have the funds.  Again...thank you both!

  • Shutting the Macbook by pressing the power button for long

    how bad is it for your MacBook Pro to shut it down by pressing the power button for a few seconds rather than by choosing Shut down?

    If ever I have to "force" a shutdown in this fashion then I immediately boot up from an external drive or DVd and run either Disk Utility or Disk Warrior to repair the drive's directories, shroudlupe.
    It regularly pops up some kind of error after such events, sometimes quite serious ones. It can also corrupt permissions in some circumstances, too, if software which modifies them "on the run' and then sets them back again happens to be in use at the time, so you should do a permissions repair on the next boot, too. The actual nature of problems generated will depend on what was running at the time, what OS background processes were underway, etc etc. It is not really predictable. Doing it once at the wrong time can have serious consequences, while on other occasions you may come away scot free.
    Although the impact may not be quite so great since "journalling' was introduced on Macs, I suspect that many of the problems that we see when people update their OS's etc, as well other general operating problems, occur because directories etc haven't been repaired by the user after such events at some time in the past.
    At the very least I'd suggest you use a 'Safe Boot" after any such event, and then restart normally. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417 for some alternative approaches to repairing the damage that it is likely to cause.
    Are you having trouble shutting down normally, or are you just looking to save time?
    Cheers

    See Ogelthorpe's link:
    Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • My kid just got an iPod 5th gen (today from Santa) and it won't power up or charge. The only response is when I connect the USB and press the power button or front button the Battery appears with red line and lightning symbol. No other response at all.

    Sorry about the long title.....its my first post.
    My kid just got a brand new iPod 5th generation (today from Santa) and it won't power up or charge. The only response is when I connect the USB and press the power button or front button the Battery appears with red line on left and lightning symbol below. There is no other response at all no matter what I do, including holding both buttons down for extended period.  My other kid got one and it works perfectly.....I have interchanged usb cables ports etc. but still no response....I would really appreciate any help.  

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you have a hardware problem with the iPod. This is because as you said the same cable works with another iPod.

  • I have a mac book pro running Lion 10.7.4 and every time I use Google Earth The computer crashes by lowering a black curtain and then asking me to hold the power button down until it closes and press the power button again to restart it. Can I fix this?

    I have a mac book pro running Lion 10.7.4 and every time I use Google Earth The computer crashes by lowering a black curtain and then asking me to hold the power button down until it closes and press the power button again to restart it. Can I fix this? It bugs me when I'm looking at real estate.

    I really don't have an answer for that one. I guess that while trying to get things working correctly, I would use the most basic monitor I had which in your case would be the Eizon using the Thunderbolt port and adaptor.
    When you boot into Safe Mode the startup is quite slow, but you should get the Apple logo and then the spinning gear below it (release the SHIFT key when it appears.) Then after a little more time you should see a gray progress bar appear below the spinning gear. When that disappears the computer will startup to a login screen.

  • Auto shuts down - could it be the power adapter?

    I'm having problems with my first generation macbook lately, it will auto shuts down (not sleep) with the power adapter still attached. And when it shuts down, the adapter still light up green. Im working without the battery, it is removed all the time cos it is dead already.
    Could the problem lies with the power adapter? but it's still shows green light, that means there is still power running thru? I would like to test with another power adapter but i don have friends who have a mac. I don't want to spend money one another power adapter, without knowing the cause.
    Is it possible to do a test on the power adpater? thanks!

    A test you could try (rather than another adapter) is to put the "dead" battery back in and run it on AC. As Gregory said, without the battery, the slightest knock to the magsafe connecter may cause it to disconnect, even momentarily, thus you lose all power and your MB turns off. Hopefully the battery will have enough capacity to allow the MB to stay on (briefly) when the connecter is disconnected for that moment. Just an idea.
    Good luck.
