Tx1000 boot/power issues

Hello all,
I was wondering if someone out there could help me. I bought the tx1000 in late 2007 until now it has worked perfectly.
Out of nowhere, it will not boot or power up. When I hit the power button, it turns on for a split second and all the lights light up, the cooling fan starts to run and as it shuts down the right speaker under the monitor pops.
I also noticed now the charging symbol (lightning bolt) on the monitor its self turns off a minute or two after plugging in the AC power adapter. The blue light around the adapter plug, on the side of the computer stays on continuously if it is plugged in.
I manage every now and again to get the tx1000 to power by holding the laptop so the base is vertical. However, it doesn’t boot and the monitor doesn’t display a thing. The HDD light flickers for a few seconds upon power then is unresponsive and dark. Eventually the PC will shut off after about 5 minutes.
When I bought the Tx1000 I also bought the extended battery and have only ever used that. I dug out the standard battery and nothing changes so I have ruled out any battery problems.
I have read that there may be an issue with the video card unsetting but I don’t see how that would explain the charging(lightning bolt) symbol turning off when its connected to the ac adapter.
Does anyone have any further diagnostic suggestions or know what I should do to fix it?
I’m not the greatest typer or writer so if something is vague or confusing let me know and I’ll follow up more specifically.
Thanks
Clay

I have been working on a tx1000 for a guy with somewhat the same type of issue. It takes several power-ons and offs sometimes before it will boot or the monitor will respond. The audio center light and the Bluetooth light remain orange when it does not start. The OS has been reinstalled factory on it from the Recovery partition and that has helped the situation. It starts much of the time first time. It is going through hundreds of Windows updates at this point and I hope that something there does not revert my progress. It has told me ther is anothe monitor attached and a Dialog opens to ask where I want my desktop displayed. Originally upon first looking at it, I got it to respond the first time by plugging in an external monitor. Both fired right up and I have set it so that ALL monitors(connected or ghost!)display the desktop. Hopefully it isn't an issue of the chipset connections being bad or a short somehow in the external plug. I really think it is all an issue of settings and updates and restarts at this point. 
Oh and the Lightning Bolt goes out when the Battery is full!
The Adapter connector will always remain lit while it is plugged in the wall.
Hope something here helps
Jim

  • 3560E-48PD-S Boot/Power issues

    Hello all,
    I recently got a 3560E-48PD-S switch (used), and on opening it discovered that the fan powers on (goes through it's various speeds then settles down), the power supply LEDs (AC OK and PS OK) light up green, but the LEDs on the front stay dark and I get no console output.  I did a little digging, and it looks like the power supply for this unit is supposed to be the C3K-PWR-1150WAC since this is the 48 port POE switch.  Is it possible that the current power supply in it (C3K-PWR-750WAC) isn't recognized or doesn't provide enough or the right power for this device?  I have tried booting it with the MODE button held down but I still get nothing.  Any suggestions that I haven't thought of yet?
    No link or activity on any port if a device is plugged in either.
    thanks!

    i see now the 750w ps is supported with this switch - I also just noticed that the status LEDs on ports 49,50,51,52 flash green when power is applied.  Hoping I just have a bad PS.....

  • No AC Power, Battery not charging, Windows boot up issue

    Searched the forums but could not find an answer for my specific problem.  
    COmputer: L355 - S7905
    Windows XP Professional
    Issue: installed new motherboard.  When on AC power, laptop shows a steady green LED light but will not boot up without the battery installed.  Will not stay running when the battery is removed or dies.  When plugged into AC power, battery charging light is on but battery continues to lose power; will not charge.  Had the computer operating properly initially but noticed the power issue.  I ran a chkdsk on one of the subsequent boot ups and now have a "config.sys file missing" error and can not get into windows any longer.  I was going to try some of the battery charging suggestions listed on this forum but no longer can get into windows or the recovery council.  Last screen attainable says to select "R" to repair system using a Windows disk.  Can not get to a DOS prompt.  
    Status so far:
    - Ran volt meter check on power adapter and getting steady 19 volts.  Various motherboard checks with a voltmeter are seem normal.
    - All LED lights on laptop are indicating the computer is working in a proper state (ie power light on, batt charging light on, HDD light on when in use, etc)
    - replacement motherboard is the EXACT same motherboard as the original.  Same model - identical.
    - Can get passed BIOS screen successfully; can get into boot options screen (Safe Mode options, command prompt, etc) but all options eventually default to an error message I get from the chkdsk program and I can not go any further.  
    - Laptop did not come with an original Win XP restore disk.
    - Battery is a replacement but is the exact same part number as on the Toshiba original battery.  Battery seems to be operating perfectly once it is charged (had to go to computer accessory store for charge)
    Questions:
    - Why is the AC power only not able to run the laptop??  Is it a software issue??
    - Once I can get into the windows OS, I presume I should be able to correct the battery not charging issue . . . is that right??  Sounds like it is a software issue from what I have read on the forums.  My plan was to reinstall the Windows operating system but I can not do that on battery power alone.
    Any suggestions on how to proceed??
    Thank you - Paul
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Lawrence - Your suggestion was right on target, the replacement adapter solved my power problem.  I would have never believed that to be the problem since the digital voltmeter was indicating the required 19v from the defective adapter, I would obviously NOT have figured this out on my own.  Thanks for your time, response and help on this issue, I really appreciate it.

    I have a MacBook pro that has power issues and will not start but the hardrive is fine.  I do not want to lose all of my files so I was wondering if it's possible to transfer my hardrive from a older Macbook pro to a new one if I were to purchase a new one?  Also, the software is not updated as the computer hasn't worked for about 2 months. 
    Also, if it is possible to transfer the hardrive, would my iTunes music transfer as well?  It is not saved in the cloud.
    Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.

    You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
    But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
    These are the steps:
    Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
    Put it in a cheap enclosure
    Connect it the new computer
    Boot up new computer.
    If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
    Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
    If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.

  • Unable to Troubleshoot Power Issues on Mac mini 2011

    I have been having odd and intermittent power issues with my Mac mini 2011 and could really use some help before I resign myself to taking it into an Apple Store. It's under warranty, but I now live in another country so I hope I don't need to ship it should it come down to that.
    However, I have searched this topic a lot, and not only have I tried troubleshooting it, I haven't seen any power issues with other owners of this model. That leads me to think that the power supply itself is probably OK.
    First of all, I live in China and the building I live in seems to have a questionable power supply. The air conditioner for example simply would not work and the repairman spent two hours messing around with wires inside the outlet and in the breakers. That did the trick, so I wonder if I'm simply not getting enough juice?
    Main symptoms:
    - My monitor recognizes an analog signal but will not light up (black monitor). Unplugging and replugging adaptor doesn't do anything.
    - Startup Keyboard Commands (e.g. Cmmd-R) may work, but I can't tell because the monitor won't light up. Letting the computer boot up though I can hear keyboard volume keys and such making the standard sounds. I can usually restart using the keyboard too.
    - My 2T external HD more often than not dismounts as well.
    - I can't hear any computer activity after the chime (hard drive, etc.).
    - Since I can hear the chime and there is audio feedback through the keyboard, I think that eliminates hardware problems such as logic board failure or bad RAM.
    - I can't boot even if I unplug all USB peripherals.
    - Holding down the power button (I have it set to make the computer sleep as well as shut down) often won't shut down the computer, but it seems to stay in sleep no matter how long I hold it. Unplugging the computer finally shuts it down, obviously.
    - Unplugging and waiting 5 minutes or so and powering up again doesn't seem to make any difference, nor does switching sockets, plugging directly into the wall, etc.
    Problems began about two weeks ago, got better, and then worse again. Now I'm just keeping the computer and monitor on (never sleep 24/7).
    Miraculously, after much frustration and countless restarts, suddenly the screen will turn on to reveal a fully booted system that was running all along in the background. No startup screen- the monitor just magically comes on again. Often I find that my external has unmounted, but it's no big deal to get to remount. At this stage, the Mac is still very quiet and for a while the system is sluggish, though it hops back into action in 5 or 10 minutes.
    At first I thought it was just my monitor, and though that's possible I suppose, it seems I'm just not getting enough juice. Once the monitor is on though, everything is fine: I can power it off and on with no problems. But I can't just leave my computer on forever though.
    Any help appreciated.

    Well, with the other monitor (which did not work with the mini either but worked fine on a laptop), I was able to narrow the trouble spot down to either a faulty Mini Display to VGA adaptor or a damaged port. I could determine that all the other ports (incld. the USB drive, programs, internet, etc., were all working fine behind the big black GUI all through sound feedback, so I seriously doubted it could be a supply problem or a residential electric problem.
    I took my mini and adaptor to a "Mac Shop" (reseller) here in China, and found it quite professional, just like a Mac Store. They tested my machine, and although they didn't have VGA monitors, they said I could return the new $30 USD adaptor if it didn't work. But as I'm writing this on the monitor now, the new adaptor did the trick.
    The long and short of all this is that I've read a lot about display problems with the mini and I suspect that most of these problems are adaptor related. I myself tried to save some bucks by buying a third party plug and lived and learned. I hope the Apple adaptor works like a champ, and if it doesn't, I'll know the first thing to eliiminate next time.

  • Z77A-GD65 power issue/bad system board?

    Looking for advice. I am afraid its a bad board, but some symptoms point at power which also makes no sense.
    This is what the WHOLE system should look like.
    MSI Z77A-GD65 system board
    Intel 3770K 3.5Ghz
    Anted Kuhler H20 620
    G.Skills RipJaws 16GB 1600Mhz DDR3 F3-14900CL9Q-16GBXL (on the test list)
    Asus nVidia GTX 680 video card
    OCX Vertex 3 256MB SSD
    Seagate 500GB data drive
    Razer Lycosa Keyboard
    Razer DeathAdder Mouse
    Antec Sonata IV case with Neo ECO 620W power supply
    It seems to me that 620W should be more than enough. According to my calculations thats roughly 330W of power draw against a 620W powersupply.
    I am not currently over clocking.
    So what the system does look like is:
    If I connect the 500GB drive then windows starts rebooting as soon as the Windows logo comes up.
    If I place all four sticks of RAM in the system windows starts rebooting as soon as the Windows logo comes up.
    If I leave the 500GB standard sata drive off and only use 3 sticks of RAM... well we get a solid system and I am writing this message on it.
    3 sticks of ram appear to work in any 3 slots and allow the system to boot, except 1,3,4. That combo also resulted in the reboots at the windows logo.
    I first thought it was RAM, originally I was using Corsair Vengeance. I saw some posts here about people having the same problem, and noted that the Corsiar RAM was not tested and switch to a the tested G.Skill instead.
    Any ideas? It does not completely seem like a System board issue, but it certainly should not be power. All heat levels are well within normal and as I said the system works great if I leave off the drive and one stick of RAM.
    Thanks guys....

    System torn down, and put back together. (Found out I was out of Thrermal Compound, so I had to run to the store to get some.)
    No long leads, only 9 stand offs matching each mount point on the systemboard.
    Back together... problem is the exact same.
    However, back to the hard drive issue. I decided to play with that since I was getting no where with 4 sticks of RAM.
    What I have discovered is that with NO sata cable connecting the drive to the system board, if I try to power the two 250GB standard sata drives the system reboots just as the Windows logo should come up.
    The fact that this behavior is so close to the RAM behavior... I am back to thinking its a power issue, though system board is still a chance... its just easier to buy a new better power supply than the Antec Neo Power 620 that came with the case. (I have not ever had a problem with Antec before, and will likely just buy one of their higher end power supplies to replace it, but I think I will try it next, just in case.)
    I am not seeing any strange behavior power wise as far as any monitor shows... but connecting power to a sata drive that is NOT connected with a sata cable and causing a reboot just screams power at me.
    Anymore thoughts today. In the mean time off to play Secret World with just the SSD and two sticks of RAM, which still runs rock solid.

  • Mysterious Mac Pro Power Issue

    I recently moved my MacPro to a new building. Almost immediately it started taking a long time to boot. Twice it hung on the blue screen for approximately 10 minutes before continuing to the login screen. Problems were intermittent, sometimes it would boot fine. Then it started having trouble powering on at all. It would click and the light would turn on and off in less than 5 seconds. I took it to a different building: no powering on. I took it twice to the Apple store for the same problem, it turned on both times so I had to take it back with no help. Back at the original building, the computer turns on sometimes after leaving it unplugged overnight. I suspected an issue with the power in the building so I plugged it into a UPS. Initially it was only on a Surge Protector. On one recent occasion I accidentally nudged it with my knee and it powered down and back up. On another occasion I was sitting still watching a video and it powered down and back up with no intervention.
    This will not reproduce at the Apple store. Each time it is there it has booted up perfectly using both my power cord and Apple’s power cord. Don’t know what to do next.
    Any thoughts on what to try before replacing power supply and power cable? Is it possible this is not a power-related issue?

    make sure to use something in 1000VA or better for your UPS and that it can support your system. May seem like $200 is a lot but then they work and give you adequate shutdown or to ride out a 5 minute power issue.

    you don't need to nor is it that effective to leave unplugged over night or something.
    hit the power on for 10 seconds while every cord and device is unplugged though.

  • Mac Pro power issue...

    Wondered if anyone else had this issue. I have a Mac Pro from mid 2008. Recently, it has done the following:
    - From a 'cold' start, it will power up for 3-4 secs and then power off again. It will not reach the grey screen.
    - It will only fully power up after about 30-40 attempts...
    Also, it will now sometimes just power off completely without warning.
    Anyone else had these issues? It doesn't seem to be a graphics card issue.

    Some more info on this problem, hopefully someone can help.
    More system details:
    Early 2008 Mac Pro
    No extra memory or internal installations - just 2gb ram.
    I found another thread which describes my problem completely....
    "Problem 1: In the morning when I turn it on, on some occasions it will power on for 5 or so seconds, then power right back off again. Sometimes this happens after 5, 10 or even 20 seconds (right in the middle of OS X or Windows boot). The only thing I note is that if it can get as far as the boot selector (hold alt at boot) screen, it won't cut out at that point, only sometimes after I wait a moment then select a boot option. This can sometimes happen 10 or 20 times in a row before it will eventually turn on and function normally.
    Problem 2: Random power cut off, sometimes at idle, sometimes while browsing, or using any other app. I can't pin it on any one particular function. I know it's not a temperature problem, I have temp monitors on my menu bar and as far as I can see it's been fairly stable in that regard. Most of the time, I can power up the computer again but very occasionally it will revert to what I described in problem 1.
    I have run the apple hardware test, with no errors being produced, and have had the local apple reseller/service centre take a look, with their tech reporting no issues. (He referred to something called ARD being run on a cycle of 20 or 30 times with nothing indicating a problem) I've taken off every non essential piece of hardware, tried with only the stock ram - and the newer ram to no avail of my issues. The only thing that I can still suspect myself is a power issue, however there is another PC in the room that has not had any issues what-so-ever."
    Needless to say I'll be soooooo disappointed if this 'top-end' machine has only got hardware to last 2.5 years. My pitifully power-less Dell has lasted longer.
    Any advice please...?

  • Strange power issues

    I am having some strange power issues with my six week old Macbook. The symptoms are as follows (I apologise in advance for the length of this post) :
    1) If the battery charge is below 50%, and you connect the magsafe charger prior to power-on, the charge light will illuminate until the grey boot screen comes up. Then the charge light turns of completely & the Macbook boots up using battery power. If I disconnect the magsafe connector, followed by the mains and reconnect in the reverse sequence, the light turns green momentarily and then orange (as it should for charging)
    2) If I start the coconutBattery application after booting into OSX, while the charge is still below 50%, the same issue occurs again with the magsafe. It appears to happen at the exact time the application queries the battery. I can get the charger working if I follow the same disconnect/mains/reconnect sequence.
    3) The issues above also seems to occur when the battery updater checks the battery. The Macbook does not recognise that the charger is plugged in.
    4) If the charge is above 50%, then all works as expected. The coconutBattery application does not affect the charger. The Macbook works as normal.
    I have tested with a brand new magsafe & a new battery - symptoms are identical. I have noticed several other non-consistent issues - the flashing green light/orange light on the magsafe connection, unusual battery life calculations (70+ hours).
    I have performed calibrations & reset the PMU and the PRAM, and have all current updates. And I have spent a large amount of time in the forums looking at similar issues without much success. I am beginning to suspect the logic board (DC chip) is at fault, however I dont relish the idea of dropping my new Macbook at my local Apple Repair centre & getting it back three weeks later with the same issue.
    My current cycles (on this new battery) are at 2 with a full charge capacity of 5142 mAh.
    My questions to the community are:
    Does anyone have a similar experience with these types of symptoms?
    Or can someone illustrate on what would cause the Macbook to believe that the magsafe was disconnected? Whatever internal system call the coconutBattery application uses to recover details from the battery appears to trigger this behavior.
    I would appreciate any thoughts on this one.
    Macbook Core 2 Duo - 2GB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Just another observation, based on reading some of Apple's documentation regarding the AC charger:
    "If the adapter works after this 60-second "rest," you most likely have a line noise issue with your power source that will require you to reset the adapter (by repeating this moment of rest) periodically. This happens when the AC adapter's over voltage protection feature senses ground noise and then turns off the adapter."
    Could a sudden draw of power required at a 50% and below charge trip this over voltage protection feature? I know the charging draw varies based on current battery level.
    I have tested this in UPS protected boards with the same result.

  • MSI z87 g45 Boot up issues

    So I built a computer for my sister and her husband and it has been having some boot up issues,Here are the computer parts:
    wiindows 7 64bit
    MSI Z87 G45 Gaming motherboard
    INTEL CORE I-7 4770K 3.5GHZ
    RADEON HD 5700 GPU
    G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866
    kINGSTON 64 GB SSD ( spare part, not sure the numbers)
    Sunbeam PSU-H680-REV-US 680W ATX 12V 2.0 Power Supply - OEM
    Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB 7200 RPM
    ASUS Black 12X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA Internal Blu-ray Drive Model BC-12B1ST/BLK/B/AS
    I've cleared both the HDD and SSD and now I'm looking to check the msi z87 g45 mobo, The computer starts up and sits on a2 for a while and then sometimes it fails to detect the SSD and says a0 and then I have to go back into the bios after I reset the computer again and maybe it detected the SSD and I can set it to boot from that again because it constantly changes the boot order, and sometimes it gives a blue screen when nearly into windows and then restarts, I had transferred some data from their old computer to this one and the data had virus's in it and I didnt know so I eventually found out and a day later and got rid of them all and the computer started behaving better but not fixed, faster mainly, I don't know if the virus may have altered some files so, I have a few more things to try, any help would be appreciated.
    (Something I forgot to mention is that when I unplugg the HDD all the issues go away, the computer seems to work fine, But there are no issues with the hdd, ive tested it with seatools and I plugged it into my computer and restarted mant times as well as used my computer for a while and nothing, the HDD is fine, the start up on their computer sits on a2 for a long time when it isnt going to work and it only happens with the 2tb seagate HDD plugged in)

    which storage drive holds the boot files the SSD or the HDD? the ATA mode of the BIOS needs to remain in the same mode it was when Windows was deployed to the storage drive. next the only way a BIOS settings will change with out user input is if the Li cell battery is going dead/the BIOS is getting reset frequently. sounds like you're about at square one, I'd format the Seagate 2TB HDD, install windows onto that either in RAID or AHCI mode whichever your preference, you can use the 64GB SSD as caching later if you use RAID mode, if AHCI the 64GB could be spare. I don't understand the SSD as boot drive method, it doesn't make sense the solid state storage is volatile meaning it degrades over time, the HDD isn't and the performance gain isn't going to change the way you use your PC. AHCI has it's advantages it's up to you. Following those steps is the only way you're going to keep the computer booting on a regular basis. You shouldn't need to manually configure which storage drive to initialize/boot from first, the BIOS automatically goes through your devices to find boot files then boots from the first one with boot files, it won't even try to boot from a device without boot files, because it can't. Just to reiterate the BSOD you speak of sounds similar to the ATA mode changing to something other than what it was when Windows was deployed to the device.

  • G3 Graphite 500mhz slot loader power issue

    My building has a 500 mhz graphite slot-loader that started to have issues....
    Namely, the display would start to 'twitch' after it was on for a little while. These twicthes would continuee every few minutes until eventually it would twitch and shut off....but the machine would always turn right back on. The twitches almost remind me of the degauss button on old monitors. Now it twitched and turned off, but it won't turn back on this time. It seems to me to be a power issue as it is completely dead now and I cannot boot it in target mode, nor do I get a chime or any reaction at all when I try to power up etc etc.
    I have access to a a pretty good supply of old parts (I have a 'skid row' of old iMacs that my school district will not repair anymore due to their age) so what do you guys think the issue may be? I've pulled apart a good number of iBooks, but this will be my first iMac.....

    'Sorry to be so spleeney about the "plugO'death" there IS a way to slip a grounded screw driver under the plug and discharge the capacator. (It's the plug you can see right on the top of the tube with the large rubber flange around it) I just hate to see folks get in there.
    The flyback circuit consists of mainly a high-voltage transformer and a capacator that stores the charge. This charge applied to the tube attracts the electrons from the back of the tube and encourages them to jump the vacuum and smash into the screen phosphors in a somewhat orderly manner.
    If you just pull the drive, there's no problem with high voltage, high current components.
    The Apple site Apple's Knowledge Base has links to .pdf technical manuals if you should decide to live life on the electrical edge.

  • I just updated the software on my iPad and now I cannot update my Aps or install new ones.  I ran a diagnostic and that resulted in "power issue." It wouldn't let me select what my options were.  Any ideas?

    Don't know where to get help.  I just updated the software and I am having issues with not being able to update Aps or install new ones.  The circles just spin and Aps just say "waiting."  I tried running a diagnostic with the apple store and it came back with "power issues" (?) as a result.  It wouldn't let me select an option to see what steps I could take to fix it, it just backed out of the page.  I just don't know what to do.....

    Hi,
    Thank you for your reply, I did go to my general settings, but for some odd reason I don't have a restrictions setting, or a reset setting. I thought I could reset all the setting to see if it could be that, but as I said there aren't any.
    My husband also has the iPad 2, and also did the software update and hasn't had any problems at all. I took both iPad's and compared the settings thinking maybe there could be a setting that could have been changed when the update was done.

    routers that are plugged into a 550VA CyberPower surge protector. I often receive these insufficient USB power for devices messages a dozen times even when I do not have devices like camera, Ipad, Ipod, and Tascam digital audio recorder plugged in. Is there a way to troubleshoot these USB routers or should I consider that one of the routers may be defective and replace them?

  • HT201401 In diagnostics for the iPhone 5, what does "Power Issue" mean? Is it covered by the 1 year limited warranty?

    That has to be just about the least helpful response ever recorded by anyone in the history of the Planet Earth. Thanks!

  • USB Power Issue

    Suddenly my MacBook Pro won't charge my iPhone. It says there isn't enough power:
    "Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled."
    I get that message even when there is NOTHING connected to the USB cable when I plug it in.
    It is allowing me to continue to use a Kensington Expert Mouse corded trackball.

    For power issues anywhere, perform an SMC Reset.
