Tecra Won't Power Off

Problem,  Shut downj gets as far as Windows is shutting down, period.  Have to remove battery to shut down!  Have used system restore t9o njo avail.  Help!

You can press and hold the power button for ten seconds to force it to turn off.
When it won't power off it is usually a software issue.  If system restore didn't work, you could try the full factory restore from the recovery discs.
If you don't want to do that, try safe mode and make sure that it shuts down from then use msconfig to remove start up items to see what is causing it.

  • IPod screen illuminates but no image; iPod won't power off

    iPod hard drive whirrs and screen illuminates, but no image (text or other) appears. iPod won't power off. iPod is recognized by iTunes only when in disk mode. Multiple restores were useless in restoring the screen function. Tools such as Disk Utility and Disk Warrior verified the directories were satisfactory. Can't locate a hardware diagnostic tool that can diagnose an iPod; and because the screen is malfunctioning, I can't run the iPod's built-in diagnostic routines.
    Any solutions, or is this iPod destined for the repair shop?

    If your iPod will not power off, unplug it from any power supply and wait for it to run the battery down completely. Then it will power off simply because there is not enough power to keep it running. (It may take 24 hours to do this.) Once this has happened, plug the iPod back into your computer. After about 30 minutes, you should see the "Please wait, very low battery" message. After a while longer, the iPod will have enough power and should reset itself. If not, re-post, but see below.
    At the bottom of your post you state that you have a 30GB video iPod. In that case, if you need to re-post, it would be better in the 5th generation iPod forum, (either 5th generation or 5th gen late - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 for more information) as there will be posts from owners of the same model as you have, and with the same problems.

  • My iPhone won't power off and I have no sound and my volume controls disappeared

    My iPhonw won't power off and I have no sound and all my volume controls disappear. Can anybody help me?

  • TS1702 iPad won't power off - dialogue box won't disappear

    Hi, there is a dialogue box saying 'Your rental movie has expired' and it's asking me to press ok.  I press ok but nothing happens.  Nothing else works because the dialogue box just stays there.  Troubleshooting recommends to power of the iPad, but it won't let me use the slide button to power off - because the dialogue box overrides it.  Any advice?  Thanks!

    Have you tried a soft reset...hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears in the center of the screen and the unit restarts.

  • 6263 won't power off

    Hi,
    I have a Nokia 6263 that won't turn off. When I press the end/power button it vibrates briefly as if it's going to turn off but then just stays on. Anyone have any ideas as to why I can't turn my phone off?
    Thanks!

    try to remove the battery, put it back in and power on the device.
    try the normal procedure for turn on and off. a software glitch might be preventing the device from powering off.

  • IPod touch (1st gen) audio pauses, won't power off, invisible in iTunes

    For about a week now, my iPod touch (1st generation, iOS 3.1.3) has been acting funny. When I plug it in to my MacBook (OS X 10.6.5), iTunes (10.1, 54) does not recognize the device, the wireless signal indicator does not show at all, the battery meter is incorrect, the audio pauses randomly, and I cannot turn off the device (by holding down the sleep button for 10 seconds and then sliding the "Slide to power off" control). I am able to force a power off by holding down the sleep button and the home button simultaneously for about 10 seconds. After a manual power down, things are normal again, but the iPod touch reverts to the same weirdness after a few hours. Any ideas?

    Ever since I uninstalled the TGI Black Friday app (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tgi-black-friday/id335329737?mt=8), things are back to normal now. Very strange.

  • Apple TV won't power off?

    The light is on....remote makes it go out for a second...then light comes back on.  Help?

    Thee is no power off, you can put in sleep/standby or you can unplug the unit. If it isn't going to sleep then it is detecting network activity.

  • TS3274 my sc reen on my ipad has frozen..attempted to turn off but it won't power off

    Can someone direct me on how to address that my screen has frozen and I have attempted to power off and it will not allow me to do so.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Hold Sleep and Home buttons until the iPad restarts, so you will be able to use the iPad again

  • Droid Razr won't power off

    I've had my Razr for almost three months.  This evening, while checking email and Facebook it froze.  I have not been able to navigate or power off... completely frozen on the Facebook screen for two hours now.  Anything I can do now or do I have to bring it in to Verizon?
    Thanks.

    Solved - I was finally (after SEVERAL attempts) able to power my Droid off.  I held the power button and the volume down button for 10 seconds.

  • Incredible 2 won't power off

    When I hold down the Power/Lock button the Incredible, the screen goes blank, but I do not get the option to Power Off the phone. Am I missing a setting somewhere?
    Thanks.
    (New to Incredible 2 but previous owner of T-Moble's G2).

    OK, now I found the solution: I actually have to first Unlock the phone before holding down the power button. I guess I find it counterintutive that I can't just Power Off directly when the phone hasn't been used for awhile.

  • IPad won't power off and tends to spontaneously reboot

    When I try to power off my iPad (pressing the sleep button then sliding the "slide to power off" slider), it displays the wait progress indicator, goes black just briefly, then the silver Apple boot up logo appears as the device reboots which results in the device remaining on.
    Worse yet, the device tends to frequently spontaneously reboot, often when the home screen is displayed and not performing any user operation.
    I really don't want to restore the iPad as this results in metadata loss for thousands of audio files (Apple really needs to address this inadequacy and provide a Time Machine back up option for us users who choose to manually manage files on iOS). Is a device restore my only recourse?

    It sounds like something is crashing your iPad resulting in this spontaneous reboot. Without knowing what you're running or if you've done anything unusual to your iPad, it's hard to say. There is a remote possibility that it's hardware related, but I would go the software route first. The only way to find the culprit, without completely restoring (which I would actually recommend here) is to one by one delete program apps and see if the problem ceases.
    If you completely restore and the problem disappears, then it was software related. If you backed up your iPad before restoring, you should be able to restore it from the backup thus retaining any data you had stored previously. Of course, this would also reinstall the offending app that was causing this behavior in the first place, but at least you'd know it is software and not hardware related which obviates a visit to your local Apple Store.

  • Palm Tungsten E2 won't power off

    This device has just started to power on again seconds after I turn it off--it remains on indefinitely and runs the battery down!  On the Systems > Preferences > Power, it is set to "Auto-off after 2 minutes".  What else can I do?
    Post relates to: Tungsten E2

    Try a soft reset by pressing the reset button on the back and see if that may resolve the issue. If it doesn't, you will need to hard reset to put the E2 back to factory settings. this usually corrects any OS corruption. Before the hard reset, you will need to hotsync to backup your data to your PC. After the hotsync and verifying all data is correct in Palm Desktop, hard reset the E2. Before hotsyncing your data back onto the E2 make sure the issue is resolved on the HH and it will power off correctly. Change the hotsync conduits to desktop overwrites handheld and sync.

  • Fans won't power off

    Hello all,
    Mac won't turn its fans off. Boots up fine . Shuts off fine. The fans keep running - the power supply, the main fan, the CPU fan, all. And the little red light stays on. Pushing the start button shuts it down, but not the fans. It's not sleeping; it's off. The only way to shut the fans off for proper is to pull the plug. For the moment I'm at a loss as to how to troubleshoot it.
    Did I mention I tripped over the wiring octopus, and the poor thing wound up on the floor? Everything seems fine, but its fans just won't quit.
    This is a DA with an 867MHz QS CPU, if it matters, ATA HD and no peripherals.
    Awkwardly ..... Jon

    Thanks Matthias and Grant,
    Hit the CUDA button while running (the Mac, not I), but no joy. the red light dims slightly, but the fans continue to run, and the red light resumes full brilliance when the CUDA button is released. Resetting when the Mac is unplugged and all the wires disconnected doesn't help either.
    I am getting good at resetting the date and time.
    Any guess as to what I should try replacing first?
    Thanks again ..... Jon
    P.S. I am easily fooled, but this Mac is irrepressible (or un-crashable). Possible clew: when I engage the power cord, the DVD player twitches .... it sounds as if it's making sure it's closed.
