The light in my iBook keeps going out

Hi
Everytime I pick my ibook up the light goes out. I can kinda still see that the screen is still on, its like the main light just goes out and i have to cut it off and cut it back on. It just started happening frequently this past week. Anybody know whats wrong or what i could do to fix it?

It depends on which model iBook you have, and you haven't given us that information.
First identify which model iBook it is from this Apple Knowledge Base article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88039
Then go down the list and find the procedure for your particular iBook.
Good luck.

  • The lights under my keys keep going on and off far too often ... Is there any particular reason for this or should I take it in for a service or what?

  • Why does the sound keep going out?

    The sound keeps going out for everything:  iTunes, any website  which has audio, even the volume buttons on my keyboard.  I notice that when I restart my computer it will work temporarily, maybe 10-15 minutes and then will go out again.  This just started happening and I'm not sure what is going on. Please help!

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Hello stephiejoy,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The following support article will help you in resolving this issue your iPad is having with its audio.  Even though this article states it's for an iPhone, the same troubleshooting steps do apply to your iPad as well.

  • My speakers keep going out

    not sure if this is where it goes, but the speakers on my iBook G4 (14 inch) keep going out, or getting fuzzy, then going back to normal. It hasn't been a big problem until recently.
    Is there anything to do to fix that or is it normal?

    It's definately not normal! I would recommend taking the iBook into an Apple Store.

  • Eny M4 with Beatsaudio, sound keeps going out.

    Sound keeps going out, have to either reboot or stop and start services.
    just bought it,   Win7 Professional, all updates,  uninstalled IDT High Def audio software, sound works, but at a low level, not getting the boost it should have with the IDT software.  
    Suggestion?
    W5D

    Hello W5D,
    Let's try something simple first.
    Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select 'Playback Devices'. 
    Left click the default device once to highlight it ( it's usually 'speakers & headphones' ) then click the Properties button. 
    Click the Enhancements tab and put a tick in the box next to 'Loudness Equalization'. 
    Click Apply to save the change and then click OK in all remaining windows
    Please let me know if this helps.  If not, please reply with your product number and operating system.
    Good luck!

    Im on iOS 8.0.2 and it just keeps going out of cellular service, what can i do?

    Hello there cubandope,
    If I understand correctly, your iPhone cellular data is dropping periodically, but you can still make calls. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article to help resolve the issue here:
    If you see No Service in the status bar of your iPhone or iPad
    Follow these steps, testing after each.
    Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
    Restart your device.
    Remove the SIM card. If the SIM card is damaged, worn, or bent, or if it's too big or small for the SIM tray, contact your carrier for a new one. Then reinsert the SIM card.
    Check for a carrier-settings update: Connect to a Wi-Fi network, tap Settings > General > About, and install any available carrier-settings updates. If you can't connect to Wi-Fi, connect your device to a computer that has iTunes.
    Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    Contact your carrier to check for any network or account issues.
    Restore your iPhone.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Airport Extreme light flashes green, amber, then goes out

    When I pug in the Airport Extreme the led status light flashes green, amber, then goes out. Matters not if I press the reset button, unplug and press, or anything else.
    So it seems I have power, but it will not work, and the light goes out.
    Any Ideas?

    How old is it?
    See if you have a 12v power supply of around 2A around.. and try that.. sometimes the power supply goes.. but often it is the internal supplies.. in which case you cannot really do anything but replace it.
    If it is less than 3years old and you have apple care on a computer Apple might replace it.. if you match all the requirements. outside 3years.. buy a new one.

  • My track pad keeps going out

    For some reason my track pad keeps going  out. The mouse move but when I click to open or close something it does nothing. I have to then turn the computer off and let it set for awhile then when I come back it is working. Has anyone had this issue. How can I fix this or do I need to take it into a Apple Store.

    It is better to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out.
    Best.

  • Laptop Audio keeps going out

    PC info:
    Manufacture: Hewlett-Packard
    Model: HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC
    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) is-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz
    Installed Memory: 6.00 GB of RAM
    System Type: 64-bit Operating System

    Product #:  LW217UA#ABA
    The problem is the sound keeps going out. An example: I'm watching a video and after a while the speakers start making a soft poping noise. The only solution that I have found to fix this is shutting the laptop for about an hour or so and when I open the laptop's speakers work for about an hour or two. It also happens with headphones. Even if I don't have a video or music playing I can still hear the poping noise. Please help me.

  • Realtek High Definition Audio keeps going out

    I have a Pavillion e017 notebook the sound  keep gooing off.  Device manager shows all drivers are install correctly.  I have upgrade to Windows 8.1 and works for a week or so than goes out again I 've also downgraded to Windows 8.0 resfreshed the computer it places new Windows files and leaves my stuff intact sound works but goes off after a few days. I have restored the PC sound comes bck on after few days is back off

    Hello techky,
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
    I understand your audio driver appears to constantly act up on you. This is definitely software related, due to the fact that it occurs after a few days of fixing the driver. This implies that a Windows Update or third-party program is breaking the driver's functionality. My suggestion would be to complete all Windows Updates, with these steps:
    1. Open "Windows Update" in Control Panel.
    2. Click "Settings", and then click "Install optional updates".
    3. Next, click "Check for updates".
    Once this is done, perform a Clean Boot of Windows, then uninstall and reinstall the driver. Let me know how this goes. Thanks!
