T61p won't power up from battery - very strange problem

A couple of days ago I put my computer into hibernation as normal - half an hour later I noticed that my bag was very warm and discovered the computer had turned itself on again. I experimented a couple of times and found that even when I shut down the computer, when I shut the lid, or just randomly, it would turn itself on again. This problem seems to have disappeared after a day, but now I cannot power up the laptop from the battery, only from the ac cable. The battery is working fine - if I disconnect the ac cable after the computer has turned on then it continues to work, and the battery is only a few months old.
Any help would be very much appreciated - I am pretty much baffled by this.

Chromebook 14 won't power up from battery

I have had my Chromebook 14 for 2 months. It will only power on when the power chord is plugged in. In the bottom right corner it says it's charging but stays at 1% and if you remove the power chord after leaving it for hours the Chromebook won't turn on.
There is zero helpful info about HP Chromebooks anywhere on the website. The only thread I could find with help directed people to a battery checking page. Everything on that page is specific to Windows machines and can't do anything. I really feel lost here as I've never had a piece of technology with zero support and no way to get help. Can someone please help me figure out how to warranty this thing? I know the battery is dead but the HP site feels like they prefer I just give up out of frustration.

Hello commercialscott,
I see that the battery in your Chromebook is not charging. I will try to help you with this.
For this I will refer you to this Google Chromebook troubleshooter: Fix hardware and system issues. If you go through the steps it provides and are directed to contact the manufacture. Here is the information to do so.

Very strange problem w/ iTunes PC

Well, I have a very strange problem - I added some music to my iTunes and when I was changing the informations and cover, my iTunes crashed. When I restarted the program, the album is missing and when I found it on my hard drive, I am not able to import it back to the iTunes. This happens with both Import from the menu and the classic Drag/Drop method. So what to do? Is there any way to get it back?
EDIT: Tried to move the files to another folder. Didn't work though.

I just found the problem lies with iTunes 7.0.
I ran the sames songs (ones with problem) into iTunes 4.7.1, with MSN messenger (same version)'s song display selected.....the song title/artist displayed and it did not get kicked out!!!!
If it's not my 80gig iPod.......I would not have gotten iTunes 7.0!!!!!!!

A very strange problem in netbeans

i debug a project in netbeans,a a very strange problem happens.
a member variable was different between wtk20 and wtk22.and the variable was changed many places so it's hard to trace!
but there hasn't the problem when i debug project in jbuilderx!

My problem is, even I've written the SQL in the correct syntax, in my java code, it just look like this
adc.SQL("insert into test(subject, content) values('" + sf.filter(subject.getText()) +"'"
                              + "," + "'"
                              + sf.filter(board.getText()) + "')" );
                              subject.setText("");
                              board.setText("");
where subject is a textfield and board is a JTextArea and sf is a string filter which use regular expression, I basically want to insert the string in these component into the database, Many strings work, but client for updates can't be inserted.
With my best,

ALV Grid - Very Strange Problem

I am facing a very strange problem in ALV Grid. Ours is a ECC5 system on SAP_APPL SAPKH50011 and SAP_BASIS SAPKB64016.
I have implemented the ALV grid in a screen using classes. This grid by default appears in display mode however it can be switched to change mode and back to display mode using a custom button on the ALV toolbar. When the user clicks the change button the grid appears in editable mode. During the back and forth switching of the ALV between Change/Display modes the ALV grid control is not destroyed however the toolbar, fieldcatalog and ALV contents are refreshed.
The data which is entered in an editable cell is validated using the data_changed event which has been implemented locally. If the validation fails an error message is raised using the message statement which is being issued correctly. Now when I correct the data and then click on another cell in the ALV grid the program is being aborted. Any clue why this is happening??

Please check this code
In the PBO of the screen set the field catalog and layout , i think this will help not to refresh the field catalog every time swtich between display and change mode
    set titlebar sy-dynnr with p_netwk.
    call method g_grid->set_frontend_fieldcatalog
      exporting
        it_fieldcatalog = gt_fieldcat[].
    call method g_grid->set_frontend_layout
      exporting
        is_layout = gs_layout.
    call method g_grid->refresh_table_display.
2. Regarding program abort, please paste the first page of system dump

I have very strange problem with Iphone 3gs. Whenever it gets little hot or exposed to 30 degree temperature it losses signals (No service). Whenever it is cooled down the service is back. Please help!

I have very strange problem with iphone 3gs. Whenever it gets little hot or exposed to 30 degree or above temperature it losses signals (No service). Whenever it is cooled down the service is back. Whenever I am using Skype or playing game for a while it losses carrier signals and wifi. When it is cooled down afer shutting down the carrier signals and wifi are back. It is for sure problem is with heating, but 30 degree tempeature in Oman is normal and some time it goes upto 50 degrees. I have noticed this has started after I started using substandard charger as I lost my original charger of the phone. Please help!! Thanx.

The specifications define an operating range up to 35 degrees.

Very strange problem / Perpetual command key

I've been using OS X since its inception, and have never had this problem before.
Starting yesterday, I noticed a very strange problem that was happening randomly. When I clicked on an app in the dock, it would just reveal the app to me in Finder rather than opening it. Other problems including multiple selections when single-clicking on items with my mouse, and not being able to type. After some fidgeting, I realized that my iMac is acting like I'm always holding down the command (apple) key. If I have a window open, for instance, pressing the H (just by itself) key will hide the window. Pressing Q will quit whatever is active.
I shut down, restarted, plugged in a different keyboard, used a different mouse, unplugged all my periphs, deleted all haxies and their attached files, and it still happened. I unplugged my 2nd monitor, and that seemed to fix it after another restart... but then I plugged in my 2nd monitor again and restarted, and now everything is fine. It's just happening randomly. I'm afraid to restart my Mac now. This is really bizarre!!!
Someone please help!

If it's any help, it started right after the following:
When booted to Vista one night, I noticed ghosting on my nice new iMac screen which kinda irked me. I could see the menubar with the Spotlight menu icon burned into the screen.
So when I got back into OS X I looked for a menubar hider. I tried Menushade and Menufela, both of which are quite old... probably before any mention of an Intel switch had ever occurred.
But now I had a problem... no clock. So I went ahead and downloaded Yahoo! Widget Engine (aka Konfabulator). I know, I know... what a crazy workaround just to hide the menubar (this is why it would be GREAT if Apple would build in its own menubar hider option!)
Anyway, this stuff started happening, so I deleted all of those apps (Menufela, Menushade, and Yahoo Widget Engine) with AppZapper (a great little app).
Ugh... this is what you get for experimenting with homegrown apps, I guess.
Anyway, hope that helps.

M40 won't power up on battery

My M40-225 Satellite won't power up on the battery. When the power-up button is depressed,the surround to the power-up button displays as blue,then everything goes dead.
When AC adaptor is plugged in,the compute powers up normally, "battery remaining" is given as 100% in TOSHIBA power saver settings,and the Battery light indicator at front of computer displays as blue.So the battery appears charged.
I've had the computer for just a few weeks. Power up on battery worked fine until recently and I can't think of any reason for the change.
I'd be grateful for any help. Thanks. Mike.

Hi
As far as I know if both parts (Battery and AC Adaptor) are plugged to the unit this can damage the battery or decrease the battery life. You should always remove the battery from the notebook if the Ac is plugged.
In your case I propose to remove the battery from the unit for a short time .
But in my opinion if it doesnt help I assume that its something wrong with the power electronic.
In this case your notebook needs a services.
Bye

Very, very strange problem with iPod Touch. Won't play in my car.

I'd understand if I just plugged my iPod Touch into my car and it didn't work. That could mean it's simply not compatiable with my head unit, it could mean the head unit isn't up to date enough for it. However, the first couple of times I plugged my iPod in, it worked perfectly. It charged the iPod, loaded playlists and played the songs without any problems. But suddenly, it has stopped charging and playing songs. It won't even load the iPod anymore. On the head unit it just says it's searching for the iPod, but it never finds it. On the iPod it says it can't be charged on this device.
I have an Alpine head unit and a 3rd generation 64GB iPod Touch. I really don't understand why it would start saying it can't be charged on the device, when I've charged and played songs on it before. I already know it can work on the head unit.

Unless I'm missing something Chris, I would think it very important if the Touch was charging from the very beginning. Of course if the Touch was fully charged when you first tried it then the songs would play.
Are you saying that your Touch appears to be playing tracks fine and has a charged battery, it's just that the sound isn't being played through the Alpine? Does it connect via the headphone socket of the Touch? If so, then plug some earphones in to see if any sound is coming out. If it is then it's either the cable connection to the Alpine (assuming it isn't Bluetooth as I'm not familiar with you Alpine or the Touch version you have) or the Alpine head unit itself.
You can very easily determine if the Touch is working and thereby eliminate that as being the problem.
Finally, I'm surprised you don't appear to think that it's important your Touch is being charged as obviously if it's not then after a while it will stop!

Populate List from Database (Very Strange Behaviour)

Dear Fellows,
I have developed a from which has two lists One for Major (say) and Other for Minor (say), thesr minors are based on the value of Major.
Now I have developed this system on Windows XP Professional, Developer/2000 6i and Oracle 8i (release 8.1.7).
Major list is populated from database and it shows all major values now using 'when_list_change' trigger the minor list is populated from the database based on the value of major list. Interestingly enough it is working fine without any problem.
Now I have deployed the software to Windows 2000 Professional/Server (tried on both), Developer/2000 6i and Oracle 8.0.5, but strangly the lists are not working now. First list (major) is still working but the other dependent lists are not working.
Another strange thing is that it populate the second list for one particular value (only at times).
The logic is that I have used a program unit to which i am passing 'list element' and 'query' and call it for each list in the when-list-change trigge.
Now its a very strange behaviour, I don't know what to do?
Your cooperation will be highly appreciated.
regards.

Hi,
I have Nokia N8 (a great phone, btw) with Symbian Anna. I wanted to download the maps. But the PC Ovi Suite is just busy forever, without downloading anything (I used Performance Monitor to find out it was doing nothing for hours).
As I have unlimited data plan from my phone, I decided to try updating directly from the phone instead. It successfully downloaded the list of maps, but when I selected one of them
"No Wi-Fi network available. Please configure a WiFi access point in the phone Internet destination settings."
Why should I do that? I have a working connection on that phone (as evidenced by the successful download of the list of maps). So now, I am stuck. How can I download the maps?
Well, the suggestion is there. Use a router.

10.4.10 update and very strange problem with Mac Mini

Dear All,
I have just updated my Mac Mini Intel and I am having a strange problem.
My Mac Mini has problems booting up. Sometimes I get through the login screen as normal but my wallpaper shows and there are no desktop icons, no dock, no top of screen finder menu bar. Some other times I get stuck in the progress bar of the booting up.
I tried to run utilities from install disk and there were no problems detected.
The VERY STRANGE thing is that several times now as I put my fingertip onto the power button laying it on the button but not pressing it yet (because I would like to shut down the system), the system kicks in and becomes unfrozen!!!
Someone in the 123macmini.com forum says that this problem is related to the airport receiver which is near the power button.
What do you think about it???
MacBook and MacMini Mac OS X (10.4.10)

ok, I have found a kind of fix for the problem, although may run a hardware test to check something!.
I unplugged all USB and Firewire devices, I turned off Bluetooth and Airport, reinstalled the 10.4.10 combo update, when it restarted the starting mac osx screen took barely a second or 2 to load (my comment above is becuase from when I first got it on Sunday I noticed it was slow to boot up, also noticed that the screen resoulution I have set does not kick in until I log on, although this may be becuase this mac mini is an intel one). The computer booted up very quickly and I tuend on bluetooth and airport with no issues and plugged all the usb and fireware devices back in. I again turned the airport off and restarted and again it booted up very quickly logged on and swithced the airport back on. I decided to reboot with the sirport on and it got stuck at the end of the os x starting up screen, I waited a few mins switched it off and on again and it booted up fine although slower. I dont mind turning the airport off when I power down as the mac usually stays on anyway. I assume Apple will release a fix for this as a lot of people seem to have the problem so think I will stay put with this for the time being. It was taking a several goes to get to the login screen before but usually got there every few boots.

Very Strange Problem on a T41

For several days I had to support the bottom of my computer when moving it or my screen went blank. After a few days of this, the screen went blank and stayed blank. A technician checked out the machine and in so doing removed the hard drive and put it in a plastic bag in my laptop case. I didn't realize the hard drive had not been reinstalled. When I turned on the computer, the display of the first page worked fine, but of course it couldn't do anything after that because there was no hard drive installed. Inserting the hard drive caused the display not to work. The hard drive icon on the laptop also did not light up. The hard drive cover was missing a screw. I replaced the screw and everything worked fine for a few hours - -then the initial problem surfaced. Any ideas? Please....my work life (I'm self employed) is suffering mightily from this. Would putting the hard drive into an external enclosure solve the problem? (Not an elegant solution, but one I could probably live with). THANKS for any help!

Welcome to the forum!
I'm afraid that the issue at hand is far more serious than you suspect, namely that the graphic card has started detaching itself from the motherboard. Quite a good description of various guises of this very common problem can be found here:
