T61P - Won't Power Down - Win Installer Seems Broken Too

Not sure which patch mucked up T61 but Vista Business SP2 will no longer shut down. When pressing power button or using Win shutdown command, system hangs and eventually produces BSOD (BCCode 9f). Can't make much sense of mindump. Event viewer shows 2 critical errors related to Kernel-Power without additional comment; I believe this was an 'issue' before. 2308 errors in 7 days, 7639 warnings, most prominent event id 4676 Servicing Hotfix patches.
sfc checked. no malware trace, hardware fine. Disabled nonessential start-ups but same result.
Strangest thing; programs no longer install. Getting progress bar to 99% before installer hangs. No logs as far as I can tell. Baffled how this is all related..
No restore points.
Suggestions are most welcome.
TIA
Frank

Zen Vision:M 30GB won't power down; any ide

I've had a 30GB Zen Vision M for a couple of months now! Awesome player, went through the usual round of recognition problems, but it's been working fine of late. My problem is, it won't power down now. When I try to power down, the unit says it's powering down, the dispaly goes black except for the battery icon. And it stops there. The blue backlight on the menu buttons stays on, the battery icon stays on, and eventually it turns off after 5 minutes because of being idle. Not a terrible problem I know, but a real niusance. I am running the most current firmware (have been for a while). I've tried resetting and clean-up. No change. I'm afraid of trying to reinstall the firmware, in case I have the same problem that many others are having, and go from a good player with a power issue, to a player that does nothing. I can't see it being the power switch itself, since it powers up fine, and tries to power down. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated. birder

Hello Dsgrov,
Welcome to Creative forums!
You can get a lot of results if you search "Zen Vision M not charging" on the search box.
Here's one, you might want to check this thread.

My iPod won't power down?

Hello
I have an iPod Nano that I keep on a radio/alarm clock thing. Sometimes when I take it off it won't power down. Does anyone know how I can get it to power down?

SOmetimes you just have to wait a few seconds after pausing it and/or removing it from the dock before shutting it down. This is normal. If it still won't shut down after ten seconds or so, you might try holding the MENU and SELECT (center) buttons until you see the Apple logo to reset it - then see if it'll shut down.
Cheers!

Ipod won't power down

I can't get my ipod to power down. It's constantly staying on, draining the battery. It won't power down automatically or manually by holding down play/pause.

I found another question and answer about the same issue, and was able to correct the problem.

Muvo T200 Won't Power down or pause

I bought a muvo t200 for my husband for his birthday (as a match to my own). Aftger upgrading the firmware to .03.03 it will turn on, but won't pause or power down. About one in three times, pressing the power down button causes it to either skip to the designated shortcut or go to the options. the rest of the menu seems to be working ok.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance for helping out!

Can you try resetting it to see if that helps?
Insert and remove a straightened paperclip from the Reset Hole.
If this does not work, you probably need to format the player.
WARNING: This step deletes all your player's content. If possible, back up all your player's content on your computer before proceeding.
1. Make sure your player is connected to your computer and you are logged on in Administrator mode. For details about Administrator mode, see your operating system's documentation.

5th Gen 60G Won't Power Down-NO SLEEP

My 5th gen 60g's are not powering down, the backlight will go off, but they will NOT power down! I've reset, re-installed and used factory defaults, but they still drain down the battery because they WON"T SHUT OFF

I'm looking into the same problem. A friend has a 5G 30GB video that's having insomnia. I've restored it a couple of times using itunes 8.0.1, and the firmware is version 1.3.
It's got a few problems. One is that it won't go to sleep by itself at all. If I enable the sleep menu option and select it, it "sorta tries to" go to sleep - i.e. the clickwheel stops responding but the screen stays on (if the backlight is set to "always on" then that also stays on). The clickwheel stops responding to swizzling until I press a button.
Also, when I do a reset (hold down center/menu buttons) it forgets all the menu and clickwheel settings when it reboots and even asks me to choose the language again. I believe this only started happening in the last couple of weeks. I don't know if a firmware upgrade triggered it.
It's chewing up the battery very quickly the way it is. I've loaned the owner my old 20GB photo for the time being and this one will sit on a charger until a solution appears
I hope someone at apple spots this and writes a patch!
Thanks
Matt.

Macbook won't power down

Bought a brand new Aluminum Macbook 4 days ago, and it worked perfectly for the fisrt 3 days, but today it has decided to not power down or let me log off. When I try to shut it down, it acts normally at first, closing out all my open apps but then it just does nothing and won't turn off.

Have you tried holding down the power (on/off) button to force shut down?

4S won't power down only go to sleep mode.

4S top button won't power off only go to sleep mode.How can I power the phone down?

Thanks - Sometimes this works and then it doesn't always do the trick. I wonder if there is a combination of buttons that could be pushed to shut the phone down?

RAID won't power down and then lost one of the 2 drives

I tried to power down my RAID before leaving the studio last night and it would not shut down. Both RAID drives were functioning when I shut down my G5. I didn't shut down power to the RAID for fear I might corrupt or lose some files.
Now one of the two drives (the lower one I think, labled Drive 2) is not mounting. I still haven't unplugged it. What should my next step be? HELP!!
Thanks in advance.
Dual G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi Brian,
1) If you don't have a good backup policy, this should spur you to ensure you have one. You should ALWAYS have a backup policy, even with protected storage like Xserve RAID. Heck, large organizations have full offsite backups of their data on multi-million-dollar EMC Symmetrix and IBM Shark systems. Back up everything you can't afford to lose at a moment's notice.
2) Once you have a backup, you may wish to upgrade to the 1.5 firmware, if you haven't already done so.

MG6220 Randomly Goes Offline, Won't Power Down Correctly

Connected wirelessly. Printer goes offline for all PCs in my LAN. Attempting to power down printer with power button results in the printer endlessly displaying message "powering down, please wait" but printer never shuts down. Manually unplugging the printer and turning back brings the printer back online. Did not see any similar threads on this site. Any help appreciated. Thanks

IPhone 4s won't power down

Recently I have noticed that my iphone will not power down. I go to turn it off and it goes through the process of shutting itself down and then after two seconds magically turns itself back on again. After this happening several times I have tried pretty much everything to fix it. I have tried resetting the settings, deleting data and settings, full restore and cleaned out the charging port but all to no avail. The problem continues. Has anyone actually had this problem fixed? Would be nice to be able to power my phone off, especially with filights to catch in the near future.

G41M-P34: Won't power down

Replaced old ASUS board w/ G41M-P34. Works fine, but every power down or hibernate turns into restart. Probably something simple I'm overlooking, but I'm stuck. Help!
MSI G41M-P34
Celeron E3200 @2.40 GHz, dual
BIOS: American Mega Trends v.25.6, SMBIOS: 2.5

1. Right click all the way down left: Start Menu >Properties>Start Menu>Power Button action
2. Left click all the way down left and type 'Power Options'. On the left side you have 'Choose what the power buttons do'
3. Left click all the way down left and type 'Power Options'. Click on whichever 'Change plan settings' then click 'Change advanced power settings'.
You have '+ Power buttons and lid' there and be sure to check for all power plans (Balanced, Power saver, High performance ...)
For some reason 'Power Options' in Win7 are horribly designed, so you have to go and check all these options :(

Quicksilver won't power down w/Leopard

After installing Leopard on my Quicksilver (w/GigaDesigns dual 1.8 processors), when I go to shut down or restart, the screen clears as if to power down, but the the spinning (whatever it's called) keeps spinning and I eventually have to hold the power button in to shut it down. It restarts okay. Even in safe boot, the same thing happens. Suggestions?

An archive and Install is not the same as an erase and install. The archive is great cause you get to keep all your settings and not re-install apps. but it can also bring problems to the new install that were present in the previous OS.
If you cruise the Leopard Usage forum you'll see suggested, time and again, if you are having issues with Leopard to do an erase and install. That means backing up and re-installing apps; basically starting over. I would Zero Out Data too to map out any bad blocks on the drive. Let us know if you need help with the Erase and Install. Beware, these procedures will totally wipe out everything on your drive.
Note; also make sure every app. you have on the Mac is able to run using 10.5 and get rid of every haxies you have. If you are using apps. from Versiontracker.com, go there and find the updates if they are available.
I would re-post in the forum I linked if you still have troubles after all this.
