T61 Fan Turns On And Then Off Right Away

When I try to boot my T61 the lights blink, the fan turns on and then after a 1 or 2 seconds the fan turns off and the laptop does not boot up. Nothing comes up on the screen, no beeps as well. I tried to boot the laptop without the hard drive and cd drive but still got the same problem. I also tried booting it up without the RAM (suggested by someone on a different forum) but on trying to do so I would get many beeps.
I started getting this problem today after my laptop froze on me while I was working so I did a hard reboot on it. It wouldn't reboot after that. I had changed my LCD screen and CPU fan around 2 months ago and the laptop was working perfect since the replacement.
Any help on this issue will be highly appreciated.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT4623 When I try to launch the Itunes app on my Iphone, it starts and then quits right away.  What should I do?

    When I try to launch the Itunes app on my Iphone, it starts and then quits right away.  What should I do?

    I would reinstall iOS 7.
    Open iTunes (11.1 or later) on your computer and plug your iPhone into your computer.
    Sync your iPhone with iTunes.
    Click on your iPhone device and from the Summary Tab, Back up using iCloud and/or iTunes.
    On your iPhone, open Settings/iCloud and turn off Find My Phone.
    In iTunes, click on the Restore button on the Summary tab next to Check for Updates.
    iTunes will completely wipe your phone and reinstall iOS 7.
    Setup your iPhone as new and restore from your back up.
    Check to see if the iTunes app is functioning correctly and not closing on you.
    I did this last night when setting Limit Ad Tracking kept closing Settings and taking me back to the Home screen. After reinstalling iOS 7, the issue went away.

  • Every time I click an app the app opens and then closes right away.  any idea why?

    Every time I try to use an app when I click on the app it opens and then closes right away.  Any idea what I can do to fix that?

    Try this:
    1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
    2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

  • HT4759 I just got a new IPAD and transferred everything through the cloud from my old IPAD2. The new one says "this IPAD is currently being restored. It has been that way for about 2 hours. Also, I books will open and then close right away with no content

    I just got a new IPAD and transferred everything through the cloud from my old IPAD 2. The new one says "this IPAD is currently being restored. It has been that way for over two hours. Also, I Books opens and then closes right away with no content. Does it take this long, or is there an issue?

    I also tried manually underlining a few things on the new iPad and when highlighting a paragraph, it would skip a few lines and the line would go through a few as well. Looks like a major iBooks glitch needs to be addressed here.

  • My iPod touch, 4th generation, keeps having problems with the backlight? It keeps turning on, and then off.

    The backlight keeps having problems. Like, it will turn off and not come back on. I have tried all solutions. But the weird part is that when I kill the battery, like when I let the charge die, and then I try to recharge it, the backlight will then come back on for a little while, but then the light goes back out. Is there any way I can get this fixed or something? Without having to go and buy a new iPod or such. Because my warranty is out. It just went out like not even a whole month ago. But I have tried resetting it, restoring it, turning it off then back on, etc. And the only thing that seems to work is when I let the charge run out, but even then it only works for a short amout of time.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price (for 4G $199 for 64 GB one and $99 for the others). They do not fix yours.

  • Laptop turns on and then off within seconds

    Here is my problem.. My laptop, which is only 1 yr 3 mos old, will not cut on. I shut the lid and when I went to open it agian, it would not resume.. So I had to manual shut it down.. When I attempted to cut it on again, it will not come on.. The light will flash on and back off.

    It is possible that it could be a bad RAM stick.
    Try this: Take out one of your RAM  sticks, reboot your computer.  If it starts properly, then the RAM that was taken out was the culprit.  If when you reboot you have the same problem, switch RAM sticks and try the same thing with the other RAM stick and see if that works.
    If the problem is your RAM, this will tell you which one is bad.
    Let us know how it goes.

  • IChat starts and then quits right away...

    The title pretty much says it all....
    I start iChat/Tiger up and and I see the iChat window briefly (say, 2 seconds or so) and then the application disappears. It does not give an error message and it's process is most definitely dead when I check Activity Monitor. I should note that the iChat previously worked without any problems.
    Interestingly enough, it looks like it does successfully log into AIM, because after trying to start the app 10 or so times, I got an AIM message saying that I've attempted to login too many times in too short a period of time.
    Any idea what's going on? The only event I can correlate is the fact that I downloaded the newest Tiger security update this past Monday...I believe that is the only change to my computer since it was last working.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Ralph,
    I have the same exact problem on two brand new macs, a mac mini and an ibook g4. I tried reinstalling ichat, which made it worse; my buddy list would no longer open, instead, the little black arrow appeared under the ichat logo, and then disappeared after a few seconds. I then copied and pasted that command into the Terminal app, and here's what I got:

  • HT201412 iPad calendar opens and then minimizes right away. Can't keep it open

    My calendar opens to today and then minimizes.  Can't keep it open

    Thanks but that was the first thing I try with any issues with the app.
    Seems that there was a calendar event from gmail which was an invite from a different email account.
    I have 2gmail accounts tied to the calendar. I narrowed it down by removing and adding back email accounts.  I then changed views and realized that it was only the today's date was having an issue and closing the app. If you have a month view it looked fine but as soon as you drilled down to that day it closed.
    I went on a oral computer to see what event that was on that one gmail account and found that some linkage to the invite was corrupt. Once I removed the gcalendar event. The app worked fine.
    Thanks for the feedback

  • Cannot enable aero after turning on (and then off) battery stretch

    I have a T520 running Win7 x64. I turned on battery stretch in the power manager the other day, and after turning it off I cannot enable aero again.
    I've selected an aero theme, but windows does not turn on aero.
    A screenshot of my desktop settings is here - as shown I have a aero theme selected but both appearance and  properties tell me aero is disabled.
    http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/440/aerok.png/
    I'm seeing a lot of advice on how to disable it but unsure which to follow. As this problem seems to have ben caused by the power manager I was wondering if any others had experienced this and could advise on how to fix it.

    I just tried to enable and disable it and it appears it is not reproducible.
    I suspect it somehow got confounded by the fact I have a few monitor configurations I use:
    1. Work - displayport to U3011 WQXGA and d-sub to a samsung UXGA
    2. Home - displayport to adapter to WFP3007 and laptop lcd as secondary screen
    3. Road - laptop lcd
    I quite often change the order in which I power/suspend/resume and plug/unplug the various monitors and windows (somewhat understandably) throws a hissy fit from time to time. So I guess this was just another case of that

  • Whatsapp opens and then closes right away

    I downloaded Whatsapp after several tries (at first I had the problem several people describe of payment declined notifications). It worked for a few days and now I can see the indicator showing that I have messages (and friends have told me they sent them) but when I press on the app icon it opens for a second and shuts down again.
    any ideas?
    thanks

    Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the
    Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Hi can anyone help with a mac that had magnet put on it. I turned it on and then off but a white screen appears with a file with a question mark on it?

    Hi can anyone help with a mac that had magnet put on it. I turned it on and then off but a white screen appears with a file with a question mark on it?

    File icon with ? mark on it means it can't read from the hard drive. The hard drive is now wiped or bad. If just wiped then you will need to reinstall your operating system, OS X. If bad you will need to replace the drive.
    Start with booting the computer from the OS X install DVD that came with your system. If the Mac came with Lion Pre-Installed then you use the Lion internet recovery system to reinstall (Hold down Command+r keys or Command+Option+r keys to boot the computer from over the internet to the Lion recovery HD system).
    Good Luck.
