The LED flash on my 4s won't turn off. Eat's up the battery and gets hot. Is there a way to turn it off? I don't have a flashlight app installed either.

My 3rd Gen won't boot up and gets hot when I plug in the charger.

The subject line pretty much describes my dilemma. My 3rd Gen won't boot up and gets hot when I plug in the charger. Any suggestions?

HP DV7-3085dx won't power up, seems the battery and charging is ok.. possible mother board problem?

Hi I recently received an HP DV7-3085dx from a friend of mine since he hadn't been using it for a while.
So, when I tried to turn it on for the first time, the power button wouldn't work, or the lap top itself wouldn't power on.
When I plug in the charger, AC adapter light turns on, and when I connect the battery, both the battery light and the AC light turns on fine.
However, there's no fan, or any light flashing when I press the power button as if it's dead.
I've searched and tried:
1. hard reset - pressing on the power button for a minute without any attachement and so on
2. reseating ram and CMOS battery
3. cleaning heatsink and re-applying thermal compound.
4. tried turning on the laptop without hard drive.
However, none of those would solve the problem.
Could it be the faulty motherboard, fan or heatsink?
Or, does battery light on means the motherboard is safe, at least?
By the way, it seems like the battery charges just fine as after a while on an AC, the battery light turns off(signaling that it's fully charged)

Hello coolhair50, welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you've acquired your Notebook from a friend, that you're trying to get it to turn on and start up. That only the batter and charger appear to be working as the Notebook will not turn on. I will try to assist you with this.
You're on the correct path, the issue does appear to be hardware related from what you've attempted so far. The battery and charger appear to be fine.
What I would suggest starting with is this document: Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot. It will guide you through testing the memory and hard drive. If all of that tests ok, then you're most likely looking at a motherboard issue.
You have a few options at that point. The first would be callling support to see what they could offer. HP Technical Support, North America 1-800-474-6836. For all other regions click here.
The second would depend on your own personal knowledge of Notebooks, but you could use the Maintenance and Service guide to look up possible compatible parts and how to replace them.
Please let me know how everything goes for you.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

T42P. Does not boot/startup. Black screen. All indicators except the battery and power are off.

Hi all,
I am new to the forum and so very desperate for help!
I have a T42P (2373-C61) machine. All of the sudden today, it blue-screened. I turned it off, then tried to turn it back on.
Now, it is not coming up at all. I can not even get to the BIOS or see anything in the screen!
All the lights/indicators are off except these two: the battery/power and the little z (the on indicator).
The NumLk and Caps Lock indicators flash every 15 seconds or so.
The hard drive, bluetooth, and wireless lights are off completely.
Tried getting to the BIOS by unplugging the battery and using the AC only but nothing happens when I press F1 or the IBM button.
Also, tried a suggestion from other users that requires unplugging Battery/AC, pressing Power button 10 times, then the 11th time for 30 sec. Still nothing happens.
No HW/SW was added to the machine recently...
Any suggestions is appreciated..

It can also be the LCD itself...
BTW, if the graphic card has failed that equals motherboard replacement since it's soldered to the planar...
Let's hope not...
Good luck and keep us posted.
Cheers,
George

I am having problems with my Mac Book Pro Retina locking up after updating from Lion to Maverick. I was having no trouble until I did the upgrade, and now it is locking up, freezing after about 5 minutes, and getting hot. Any suggestions?

A while back I had an upgrade available to me. I had Lion when I bought this Pro. The upgrade is Maverick. After downloading and installing the upgrade, my computer started freezing while doing anything. I might not get this completely written before it freezes. The keyboard is getting hot, and I have to use the power button to turn it off. After it has sat for at least 10 minutes, I can turn it back on. I might be able to do some work for 5 minutes, or up to 30 minutes before it freezes again. Some of my programs are not working, either.
I would appreciate any suggestions anyone might have, or even go back to Lion, if I can figure out how to.
Thanks.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Hi DaVince Vince,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear what issues you were having that led up to the attempted Erase All, and/or exactly what behavior you are seeing now (restarting, not responding at all, etc). If you are seeing an Apple Logo screen and your iPhone does not appear to be starting correctly, you may find the following articles helpful:
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

What happends when there is an "x" showing in the battery and is not charging when the charger is connected?

on the top right hand corner where the date and time and sound and wifi and battery symbols are, i have my battery symbole set up to show me how much battery life i have by how full the battery icon is, but how instead there is a little "x" icon int the battery symbol and i can only use my mac when the charger is connected, but it still says it isnt charging........***

I have the same problem.. X icon.. Battery indicator LEDs are not showing anything.. we might think battery is bad.. but while booting with AC adapter.. if I remove the plug.. it boots and work with battery fine.. but if I reconnect the AC adapter it goes to sleep mode or maybe just LCD shuts off.. I'm sure of it.. im suing mid 2009 version and I'm gettin a 3 1/2 hrs backup until yesterday.. I was replacing corsair RAM 8 GB one and for the battery connecter.. I use flat screw driver to lift it.. saw a tiny spark then.. thinking thats the cause of all this.. physically everything is fine.. except I need AC adapter to start the laptop.. I wonder if we'll get the exact reason of this anytime..
By the way tried everything.. SMC, NRAM.. those things etc.. nothing solves.. just learnt living with it..

Apple doesn’t do trade-ins and won’t give you more than 10% off a new device for sending an iPod touch in for recycling. If it’s in working order, you’re probably better off selling it to someone else.

Turn off your laptop, unplug all wires, remove the battery, and hold the power button for thirty seconds. Afterwards, reattach the battery and connections. If it still won't start, remove the battery and start with just the AC power. Next try without the AC power and just the battery.

I just bought my macbook pro and it's charged up to 100% and is still plugged in but now shows the battery at 98%. How is this possible when it's plugged in to the charger and the green light is on?

I just bought my macbook pro and it's charged up to 100% and is still plugged in but now shows the battery at 98%. How is this possible when it's plugged in to the charger and the green light is on?

The system regularly lets the battery drop to about 95% when on the charger, then recharges to 100%. This lets the batery exercise "just a little" all of the time and saves the recharge curcuits from overuse.
Regualr occurence for me.
Also ... you need to let your battery work at least once per month. Let it run down to 40%, but not less if you can at all avoid it. Running thr battery fully dead will shorten the battery life significantly.

I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

Hi there Fgonzalez2015,
You may find the camera troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You see a closed lens or black screen
If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
