X-fi, Will not switch modes unless reb

This happens to me occasionally. I will close ALL applications and then try to switch modes and its says I have an audio application open or the device is in use. Anyone experienced this and know a solution?

kaluminati,
Some application of yours may not have ended properly and thus could still be running in the background process and holding on to the sound device. You can access Windows Task Manager and check the processes that are still running and end it.

My mid 2009, 17inch Macbook Pro will not switch on unless it is physically hot. I have to heat it up with a hairdryer to switch it on.

Hey guys, my macbook doesn't switch on unless it is physically hot. I use a hairdryer to do this (I know it's bad but i have no other option, i'm not looking for a lecture on why it's bad to do this.)
Once it is hot it still takes a long time to boot up because it will seemingly short-out (instantly shut down with blank screen) whilst booting up quite a lot, and at random times.
Resetting the pram and smc seems to help sometimes, but it's hard to judge as the success of the bootup seems totally random.
Once Ive got past the login screen and it finally boots up it will run fine, other than a few strange bugs that I have experienced;
- If I highlight a video file and do a quick preview (pressing spacebar), the laptop shorts out and shuts down
- If I try to record video using the webcam, its shorts out and shuts down (Using webcam on skype is fine)
- An email i received once had an automatic video playing, which resulted in the laptop doing the same as above
I'm assuming it's a graphics related issue but I'm no expert, video games run fine on it though.
If anyone has any idea as to what the problem/solution could be, please let me know!
Haven't found a single post online that relates to this problem..

Thanks a lot for the reply mate, much appreciated
Yup its very weird haha

Not taken it to anyone just yet.

My charger switched off my iPhone and now my phone will not switch on unless connected to the charger. But, I cannot access wifi or my sim and the date and time resets. It does not connect to iTunes and freezes after five minutes

It will not recognise sound and if I take it off the charger, it immediately switches off. I've installed iOS8 previously but nothing is working. Please help!!

There's only one thing you can do: make an appointment with Apple genius at the Apple retail store for a out of warranty replacement.

My iphone will not switch on unless I plug in to charge once I unplug it switches off again

My iphone 4 won't switch on unless I plug into charge - once I unplug it switches off again and is only charging upto 78% and not letting my option for WiFi either - any ideas?

Make an appointment at the genius bar. More than likely, either the battery needs to be replaced ($70) or the phone does ($199).

T440s will not power on unless plugged in

My T440s will not power on unless the power adapter is plugged in. Once it has powered on, I can unplug the power cable and it will stay on.
Needless to say, this is not an optimal situation for a laptop.
Please tell me there is a fix, and that it does not require shipping my laptop back to Lenovo again.
Thanks

So, I believe I have the same or similar problem. What I think is happening is the internal battery shuts off when the AC power is connected. However, it doesn't reactivate and when you try to power from battery it won't work.
These are two workarounds I have found that seem to work for me:
1. Unplug the laptop before you shutdown. This switches to battery mode and activates the internal battery.
2. Go into your BIOS and change your USB setting so that Always On is active when on battery. This will allow you to charge your phone or other device using the Always On USB and will keep the internal battery activated.
Hope these things help!

My 3gs will not switch on it had 70% left in the battery tried charging but no good also tried soft reboot only get apple logo then goes off do i need a new battery?

my 3gs will not switch on it had 70%power turned off but will not turn on,tried charging no joy tried soft reboot got the apple logo then it went off again,Do ineed a new battery or is it somthing else?

Hi colin198,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
Click on the link to see more details and screenshots.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, seethis article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Experia z1 screen will not switch on

hello
im in need of some serious help.
myy Sony Experia z will not switch on and i dont know why. i have tried all forms of ways reccommended on the Sony website and also tried using PC Companion to use the software update for phone service but it does recognise my usb conection.
please help me or recommend a way for me to fix this problem as soon as possible.
P.S i took my phone to mtn and they want to charge me R5500 to fix up this problem while my phone is still under warranty . this is unacceptable.
i would prefer direct aid from Sony.
Thank you .

Try to perform a system repair
Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the onscreen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP
To add this is a user support forum so the direct aid you speak of will be from your local Xperia care team http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/

Power button will not switch printer off

I have owned HP products for over thirty years, with little in terms of serious problems. I am rather confused why the power button on my deskjet 8600 plus will not switch off the printer. When I reort to powering off from the wall socket this results in an errror message on re-powering, saying that powering off from wall socket could damage the printer. But there appears to be no fixes? The machine is less than a year old so would appreciate some support.

Hey @Angus844,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that your power button is non responsive on your 8600 machine. I know you stated that you have a Deskjet 8600 but that may be a typo as HP manufacturers an Officejet 8600 Plus. I am going to provide you with troubleshooting steps for the Officejet 8600 Plus model. Be sure to correct me if these steps don't seem to coincide with your model.
It definitely appears that you are experiencing 'sleep mode' or 'power issues'. I am going to provide you with a support document that should resolve this issue for you:
The HP Printer Won't Turn On or Respond When the Power Button is Pressed
Be aware that Solution three: Make sure that the power supply is compatible with the printer, is a generic printer step. You should just have a power cable with no adaptor that goes straight from the printer into a wall outlet. The only lights for power that you should see on your model printer is the green power button on the front of the product.
If your printer is turning on and functioning, even for a period of time, than your issue does not appear to be power cord related. Therefore, after ensuring that the steps provided in the document above are completed I would like you to run a Firmware Update for your printer.
The Firmware Update for your printer can be found at:
HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g Drivers
After selecting the Operating System of your computer you need to select the Firmware option to download and run.
Please let me know if these steps resolved your issue. Good luck!

Phone has frozen and will not switch on

Twitter was not working so I unistalled it from Iphone. Reinstalled it but the phone then froze. Turned phone off but now it will not switch back on and is frozen on the apple screen. Help

Connect iPhone to Wall Charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart. Usually takes less than 20 seconds time of holding both buttons.
If this does not work you may need to Restore the iPhone Firmware. If you decide to Restore the Firmware, connect iPhone to computer with iTunes open, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode, Restore the Firmware. Again usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons.

Z30 will not switch OFF!

I have this error message displayed - www.bberror.com/bb10-0015 - on my Z30.
So the screen is black (looks like it's off), but when i start the reload process in BB Link (with device connected), i get a message asking me to switch off the device. It will not turn off. If i hold the 'off' button down, it just starts up again and then displays the error message once more. What can i do?

Ben2 wrote:
1. How do i find out which exact model my BB is? Because it will not switch on to let me go into settings etc.. As i say, although it won't switch off, it won't allow me in either - just get that error message.
Remove the back cover. At the bottom behind that cover is a label with a lot of tiny print on it. In that print will somewhere be STA100-something...that "something" is what determines your exact Z30 model number.
Ben2 wrote:
2. I cannot do a backup either because of above.
Like insurance, the time to take a backup is before problems happen. It is a hard lesson to learn, but one should never allow an update to a computing device to begin unless one has a full and complete backup in hand. Further, a regular procedure of taking backups is always recommended so as to minimize the loss of data should a catastrophic failure happen.
Ben2 wrote:
Finally, with the state i have described, will the autoloader run?
I cannot predict the outcome of making the attempt. I can, of course, predict the outcome of never trying at all. You may have to experiment with timing of starting up your BB, connecting it to your PC, and launching the AutoLoader. Given the condition of your BB, you may have to try a few tricks with different timings of those actions. But AutoLoaders are pretty forceful...generally, if power is flowing through the BB at all and the display is doing anything at all, then the AutoLoader can attach to it and conduct it's process.
Good luck!
