X1 Model/Type 3444 - will not power up

My ultra book has worked perfectly until yesterday when I went to turn it on and it won't power up. I have two power supplies. Neither make a difference other than the green laptop led is on. I've tried the small reset button on the back with multiple combinations holding it then pressing On/Off button & etc. I'll try taking the back off it tonight, remove & reset the battery and see if that helps. Strange this has happened . . . battery issue? Any thoughts? PS - funny thing, I could drag out my 7 year old ThinkPad and it would fire right up. It's only issue was being outdated & heavy . . . lol Update - before leaving work, I opened the laptop and hit the power button and it powered up . . . but only showing 11% though it was plugged in all night! Any thoughts/suggestions? Thanks, Mike

This does not sound like a problem with the backup (cmos) battery. Is it possible the on/off switch isn't operating? That model is a tall (not wide screen) with nVIDIA graphics. I used to have a motherboard around here but it isn't on my inventory list. If you want me to check around and see if it is hiding somewhere, send me a pm. Those boards are really hard to find. The wide ones are more common.

Need Help HP DM3 (DM3-1130us) Laptop will not power on. No power at all except for light on a/c jack

Hello, I need some help.
I have a HP DM3-1130us Laptop that will not power on at all.
the only thing that happens when I plug it in is the power jack lights up.
When the power button is used absolutely nothing happens.
No power, no fans, no leds, no on/off cycles, no beebs, absolutely nothing
just the light by the power jack that says the cord is plugged in.
The laptop has Windows 7, 320gb hdd, 4gb ram.
I have tried new power adapter and still nothing.
I have taken the battery out and tried and nothing.
I've tried the option where you take the battery out and hold the power and nothing.
I have tried with different hard drive and no hard drive and nothing.
I have tried reseating the ram and tried new ram modules still nothing.
So I am kind of stumped on what to do, the laptop will just not turn on.
Its not under warranty anymore so cant send it off.
It has not been exposed to any elements(extreme heat or water).
and its never been dropped or anthing.
Im kind of wondering maybe the power button board its self is bad?
If feels fine, its not loose or anything but could it
have just stopped working? for those who are not familiar with this model.
the power button is on the side and is a kind of drag and release button.
Its also on the same board with the Wifi button and 2 Usb ports.
But Im wondering before I buy a new one if this is what it could be.
Or could the motherboard its self be bad?
But even if the motherboard is bad would it still power up
just not post?
Also does anyone know of any other way to try to power this laptop up
without using the slide button. I mean kind of like off a Dv6000 you can power the laptop on by using the Quicklaunch buttons on top but this laptop does not have those.
If anyone can provide any information I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

Hey Tyler,
Unfortunately it is difficult to troubleshoot this type of issue. The majority of the time when the computer wont power on with the same symptoms you described, the power supply board is faulty. Most of the time if the motherboard is bad it should at least turn on or so some signs of life. Like I said, this is most of the time. Sometimes it could do exactly what your experiencing. I would suspect the power supply board has failed since you are not receiving any sort of lights, sounds, etc.
You could check the motherboard for swollen capacitors or loose solder joints but sometimes you wont be able to find anything.
I hope this helps answers your questions,
Sean

T60 will not power up (battery status led green, power status led green)

Ok so I have been researching this for a couple days now. Trying various things............
Including the famous 10 second power button press discharge.........
Symptoms:
1st Disclaimer - coffee was exploded all over the laptop but has been running for a month.
Symptoms:
It has been working post coffee spill (several weeks ago) as long as you left it running. I get cocky and turn it off then it wont come back on.
The laptop has exhibited the inability to power on since but I have been able to get it to turn on several times since.
green power light comes on with AC adapter only
plug battery in and the battery light goes green
press the power button - both lights go out
I replaced the keyboard, battery, tested for 20 Volts on the AC adapter, tested for 2-3 volts on the CMOS battery.
I tried testing for 20 volts on the motherboard where the power supply cable connects. I have most of the laptop broke down still.
I did get it running again last night as a result of me incorrectly using the multimeter and short circuiting the power supply connector .
It booted up and ran fine and I even tried turning it off and on again several times.
I thought it might be a heat issue. I turned it off and tried to turn it on this morning and it will not power up.
Same symptoms as before.
no battery, only power connected, green light comes on, plug in the battery, battery light goes green, try to turn it on and the lights go out.
It seems like it is fixable but I am not sure what to look for next.
Or should I be looking for another system board...........if so what should I replace it with
This is an IBM T60 Type 2613 15" screen.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Welcome to the forum!
Your best bet would indeed be a new system board. Any single one from a non-widescreen T60/p will work.
I've got dozens of them available - send me a PM if you're interested.
Good luck.

IMac will not power back on. Any ideas?

I was installing maverick and suddenly my iMac shut down and will not power back on. Any ideas?

Which model iMac do you have? If still under warranty or you have AC, call them & let them deal w/it.
Out of warranty: Please detail ALL you have done so far in the way of troubleshooting? Need this info to avoid the been there done that scenarios.

My brand new iMac will not power up after an update restart, any suggestions?

Any suggestions on why my IMac will not power up after it done a restart?

Try an SMC reset and PRAM reset: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603
If that doesn't help:
See if it will start in Safe Boot: restart holding down the Shift key until you see a grey progress bar, type your admin password when prompted, let it continue to (hopefully) boot. Restart as normal from the Apple menu.
If that didn't help, try booting into the Recovery HD: restart holding down Command+r and choose Disk Utility from the four choices when they appear on screen. Once DU has launched select your Macintosh HD on the left and click on 'repair disk'. If anything gets changed click on repair disk again until you get a clear pass, restart as normal from the Apple menu.
If you still have problems, give AppleCare a call.

MacBook will not power on and no start up sounds

My MacBook will not power on despite having a fully charged battery and the power cord has a green light. I used all of the support suggestions online and spoke with an apple care rep. I was told that it seemed as though it was a power flow issue- the power button is not responding properly. I was also told that it doesn't seem like it is affecting my hard drive since there are also no start up sounds.
My question is, is this problem fixable if I choose to sell the MacBook? And how costly is the solution?

Sorry about Necroing a 1 year old thread but I am having the same issue with the same Model. Laptop went dead overnight, no led indicator of power. Opened the laptop and tested the AC adapter. I get 19.5V exit on the cable. Tested the power connector on the motherboard and getting the same voltage. Capacitator to not seem damaged. Any suggestion on how to troubleshoot this further? I love that laptop

HT3964 MacBook Pro will not power

jpg8,
which model MacBook Pro do you have, and which version of OS X is installed on it?

DV4 1275 Power Issue, Battery not charging, Will not Power with AC only

HP Pavillion DV4-1275mx
Battery will not charge, Laptop will not fully turn on with battery in (battery not charging at all). Laptop will not power on at all with no battery using only AC and with battery it will attempt to load and die due to lack of charge.
Have tried 3 diff HP chargers.
The orginial 1 that came with the laptop is dead and will not charge anything. Tried it on a diff HP laptop and not recognizing any power
The 2nd one is OE HP laptop diff model but same wattage that came with my gfs work laptop. I have charge my laptop with it before in the past however it is not charging the battery now either
The 3rd is a aftermarket generic one that my g/f bought in the airport and it works with hers as well however I have never used it on mine.
I have tried hard resetting.. taking out battery, holding power for a min and replugging everything.
Also when I remove the battery and plug in either of the chargers that do work the power LED are "not" lighting up on the front or the LED where the AC plugs into the laptop. Which makes you think the charger is bad however the 2 working chargers do work on my other 2 HP laptops.
If i plugin one of the 2 working chargers with the battery it will go through the boot process and as its starting windows it just dies and shuts off. The power led by the DC jack does light up and the charging light on the front lights up. However this only works when I unplug the battery and plug the AC charger in. After the laptop boots up to starting windows and dies. I have to remove the battery and replace it to get the LEDS to light back up.. If the MB was bad I wouldnt think any of the LED's would come on nor would the laptop boot up to the starting windows. If keep trying to turn it on the booting time is shortened as the battery is not holding a charge and sometimes it only makes a few seconds and then just dies out.
I dont have alot of money to spend so I was hoping maybe you could point me in the right direction.
Should I buy the replacement part OE charger for my specific laptop? (not sure if its going to be much diff than the others since they are all 65 watt chargers)
Should I buy a new battery as well?
Or does this sound like a short problem in the mother board or a solder issue with the DC plugin?
If it is an issue with the motherboard I do not want to go through the hassle of buying the battery and charger as I will end up having to just replace the laptop
If you could please advise me what direction to go I would be so greatful.

Dude, I have the same exact problem with mine. It's not a cheap fix either. It definitely is the motherboard.
I'm no expert, but I believe the problem is a dead capacitor on the motherboard preventing it to build up a charge.
I spoke with an HP rep, which told me it's $398 for them to fix.
I let them know that I didn't have another $400 to put into this laptop. So, they suggested I try reseating the motherboard. And also reseating the memory modules.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01597750.pdf
That is a pdf of the laptop's manual. It'll help in reseating. Page ( 59 ) for the motherboard. Page ( 67 ) for the memory modules.
This hasn't helped at all with mine, but maybe it'll help with yours!

Don't know. Could be any number of reasons. Re-read the how to install RAM manual again for your model iMac. Double & triple check to make sure you purchased the right RAM chips. Make sure they are seated properly. If you didn't hear a snap when seated, the RAM is not properly seated.

My iMac will not power on

Hi I have some weird problem related to this and unfortunately either or apple or APS able to solve.
I have picked a 27 iMac late 2012 model 2 montsh back and a APC Back up UPS 700.
Whenevr I turn on the Main power> Turn on APC> Turn on iMac, the iMac doesn't turn on. I will have to unplug it and plug it back it works. It happens only when I start the UPS for the first time in the day. After that how many ever times I remove my iMac plug and plug it back to APC, it turns on.
Initially I thought, it is the problem with the UPS and contacted APC where they replaced with a new UPS and its the same problem.
Unfortunately, Apple is not able to tell that its the problem with the Apple iMac as it works fine when directly powered without using APC.
So, the problem lies working with APC and iMac together.
Could someone please help. The last option I have is to carry the UPS to a Apple store and see if it works fine with any other iMac.
Also to mention, I did try SMC reset adn PRAM reset.

T60 suddenly switches off, will not power on again, DVD drive related?

I have searched and searched for this, and although finding many "T60 will not power up" I haven't
found any with this twist.
My T60 is ~2 years old, and the problem just started recently. Working on battery one day, the laptop
suddenly died - like instant loss of power. I could not turn it on again. One strange thing though:
When I removed the battery and re-inserted it, the batt-icon-light came on briefly (a blink). If I then pushed the power button it lit up for 1 sec and then went out, not booting. Repeating it, without removing the battery, it didn't light up.Ok, thinking maybe the power supply was dead, I took it completely apart, removing also the harddrive and the DVD drive. By chance I then saw that it had "fixed itself". I resembled it and it worked again, powering up like nothing had happend.
Then it happened again yesterday. I read in here about the "push power 10 times, hold power down 30 sec" etc, but had no luck with that. Again, when I inserted the adapter cable the light came on (power plug + batt light) but when pushing the power button they went off, and if I removed and reinserted the plug same thing again.
I then read about removing HDD and DVD drive, and that did it! So, it happened again today and this time I just removed the DVD - and it booted again.
So, after this loong description here I hope that some of you have tried/seen this before or have an idea what it can be. I left the DVD drive out, and it has not happened again...yet (it's been 5 hours only).
Ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Martin.

Hi Nordal,
I know this is an old thread, but since I too am now experiencing inability to startup by T60 and seems to be getting worse in the last months, I was wondering what additional things you may have learned in the last 2 years since facing this issue. My system will typically be in standby or hibernate and when I open lid to start it up again, Power and Bat light go out and cannot start it. No beep codes, nothing. Previously, recovery was to pull battery (which is now new Lenovo as of last month and working great), hit power button a few times and then hold it in, put battery back in and AC adapter, then it would start up. In last few days, this no longer works. I have to go through similar step, but now I have to startup only with battery, once in Desktop, I can plug in adapter and no issue until next time. I have three 90W AC adapter all putting out correct 19.5-20 VDC. Have rulled out an adapter issue, I believe. Concerned about something on motherboard being flaky, but cannot pinpoint issue. A few days ago when this happened, I had to pull CMOS battery, wait a few min., then put everything back together and was able to boot.
Have never pulled anything more than RAM, CMOS battery, main battery, and AC adapter. May have to try DVD drive next time.
Thanks,
Kaz
It's probably best to start a new thread instead of reopening one thats 2-3years old, but from what your describing it sounds like your slowly ruling out everything except the system board, nothing you don't know already.
I don't normally deal with T60's, my main focus is T61, but I do have a source for the boards if you were to need one, as well as having a source to get the older boards reflowed. Some of the older models had problems with solder connections cracking when the board would flex, which can be repaired on an infrared reballing machine. My friend Dominic (realblackstuff from thinkpadforums.com) operates a website where boards are collected and sent off to be reflowed in wholesale lots. It's quite reasonably priced, as are the T60 boards pulled form grade "A" corporate laptops, but lets hope you can find a lesser component that is causing the problems.

Nokia Xpress Music Phone will not power on!

So my phone was working fine yesterday. Got home last night, shut it off and plugged it in to charge. Get up this morning, and it will not power on right. I will try to turn it on, it will light up for about a minute. Show my welcome screen and then go black. I thought it had charged all night and it shows a full battery but will not turn on. Anyone else have/had this problem?

Which model do you have???
Nokia makes at least seven different XpressMusic phones.

Laptop will not power on when power button is pressed

I have a Pavilion m6
model: m6-1045dx
Laptop will not power on when I press the power button. It is fully charged. The only light that will come on is the light indicating that it is fully charged. I have tried removing the battery and then putting it back in but that did not work. I use this laptop for college and it is time to go back to school. Please help!

Try a hard reset, works sometimes.Disconnect all external devices first.
1-remove power cord and battery
2-press power button for 30 seconds
3-reinstall only power cord for first startup.
4-try power on
