X120e Won't Turn On Anymore

Hi all - I've been using my x120e happily for about 6 or 7 months now and have experienced a few of the minor issues I've read about on the forum, but never been very bothered by any of them... until I encountered this most recent one. I came home to the machine, which has sat perfectly stationary and unused for the past 2 days on my desk, and tried to turn it on. Immediately it shuts itself off again, stopping the hd with an audible click.
It seems the time it takes for the machine to shut itself off is intermittent - occasionally it's so immediate that the backlight on the screen doesn't even come on, but sometimes it'll allow me to JUST get into the BIOS menu before it shuts off. Never any longer then that though... On one occasion it just flicked on and off rapidly until I became nervous and held the power button, which after 4 or 5 seconds caused it to stop.
I'm having trouble figuring out if this is a known hardware issue, or maybe just a freak battery/mobo issue that I'm not laptop-savvy enough to understand. Maybe a power-surge-related issue? Either way it's a bit difficult to get any more information as the machine basically won't start in any way at all.
Hope somebody can help me, I was really enjoying this little laptop.

Hi, just in case something is indeed wrong with the battery - could you try removing the battery, then plug in the power and try to start it? If it still doesn't boot, it at least will confirm the battery is ok, and vice versa. Cheers!

My ipod nano 7th generation is stuck in a restore loop with a white screen. Now it won't turn on anymore. What to do?

My new Ipod Nano 7th generation is stuck in a restore loop. Here is what happened: I added music to it using the latest version of iTunes, the colored bar at the bottom of the summary tab in iTunes showed my that I added it and I disconnected it to listen to the music. As I turned it on, it told me that there is neither music nor pictures on it. So I connected it again to my computer and iTunes told me that I had to restore. Which I did following all the steps but it keep telling me that I need to restore it. After three times of restore it, I disconnected it from my PC and turned it off. Now it won't turn on anymore - even though the battery is fully charged - and when I connect it to iTunes, iTunes tell me "The iPod software updater could not be contacted. The server does not support this version of iTunes." Well, I just downloaded the newest version a couple of minutes ago from the apple website. My iPod stays black. What shall I do?

Hi clarity,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You may want to first try removing and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes by following the steps in this article:

Tried allready 10 seconds Power/Home button for reboot. Made a restore like new trough iTunes also.
It would turn off only when pluged in charger, or attached to PC.
Any ideas ?
Btw. i`m in Europe now, is Apple warranty international or? ( Ipad bought in US)

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.
You must see the Apple logo.

My PC won't turn on anymore.......help please.

So I have a brand new hp pavilion running on windows 8, but as the title states it won't turn on anymore. The problem started after I accidentally removed the battery when it was running. Now the only thing that lights up is the little orange light over the wifi button on the top of the keyboard but the rest does nothing. So if anyone has any solutions please send them to me.

My ipod touch won't turn on anymore!!!

MY IPOD TOUCH WON'T TURN ON ANYMORE!!
I don't know what happened. but I am beginning to think apple is ripping me and everyone off.
I don't know why I paid about 200-300 dollars for this iPod to be frozen or not turn on anymore!
When I downloaded Currency converter pro, it just froze my ipod.
Either it's that problem, or something is wrong.
I never dropped it in water or anything bad.
PLEASE HELP.

Have you've tried holding down the power button for several seconds?
If so and you're still getting nothing you may have to do a hard restore.
here's how to do it on Mac OS:
1. Connect you're iPod to the computer with the sync cable, and open iTunes.
2. Hold down the power and home buttons for 10seconds, then release the power button (continue holding the home button for about another 6-8 seconds). iTunes should display a message stating that the iPod is in restore mode and needs to be restored before it can be used (or something to that effect).
3.Hitting the restore button will likely give an error message. You'll need to hold down option and click the restore button, which will bring up a file browser. Navigate to *<your user name>/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/* and choose iPod2,12.2.1_5H11aRestore.ipsw (or similar ipsw file depending on your ipod, or iphone, generally choose the newest one) and click open.
4. Wait for it to restore, when that's finished you should be able to further restore it using the backup that was generated when you last synced it.
I have never done this on windoze, but I imagine it's quite similar, just not sure where you'd find the ipsw file.

E63 won't turn on anymore

On Friday night, I forgot to charge my phone and the battery completely died. I charged it all day and all night on Saturday. The phone still won't turn on. When I hold the power button, all I get is a white light behind the tactile square button in the middle of the phone. I've tried reformatting the phone, but nothing happens. I bought my phone in June so it's fairly new.

just try using a different charger...one that is 100% compartible with ur phone and do not overcharge your phone!!! do notttt !!
hope this works for u.

So I went to the store and tested out a bunch of chargers. The USB charger didn't work at all. One of the AC adapters didn't work either. Finally, I bought one of the chargers, took it home, and it immediately turned on. Really, really strange.I don't know why the other chargers wouldn't work, including mine.

GT70 won't turn on anymore

After suddenly turning itself off last night while running a benchmark, my notebook won't turn on amymore.
At the time it was running on mains power without battery in.
Ive tried disconnecting everything and then running on battery and was unsuccessful.
Pressing the power button will light it up for 1 second and i can hear some sound, but it then immediately goes dark and quiet again.
It is still able to charge the battery though
Any ideas if i can still fix this or is this notebook gone for good?

Hello,
I have a GT70 too and it was with the battery and plugged on AC and it shut down while playing Skyrim. Since it's out of Warranty i opened it and found nothing weird or "smelly". I too have the power button lighting up for one second and fan launch sometime but stops immediatly.
Did you contact MSI to know if they could repair it ? Or do they not repair thing out of warranty ? Because at the price of the laptop, after 1year and a half i would love to have it repair even if i have to pay something.
Hope you sorted out the problem. Because more than 1K laptop for less than 2 year is not good :(
I tried to call the number of the support on the "support MSI page" and it said that it's closed "Today as of 30 May 2013 and to call back tomorrow". I hope they just forgot to update their message and that the French support is still active. I'll try to contact them again tomorrow.

Playbook won't turn on anymore unless plugged in

I've had my playbook for about 2 weeks and up until yesterday morning it was working perfectly. Now it won't turn on. When I plug it into the mains using the provided charger the red light lights up for about 10 seconds then goes off for about 5 and just keeps repeating.
I plugged it into my pc to try and run the device manager but the light does the same thing and I cannot turn it on. When it's plugged into the PC it sounds as though it's connected then when the light goes off it sounds as though the device has been disconnected
I left it over night to charge and this morning the red light was green, as though it was fully charged, I pressed the power button and the playbook came to life but the battery said it only had half charged. As soon as I take out the charger, the playbook turns off again and cannot be switched back on. It's incredibly frustrating.
I've also tried the three button re-boot and nothing works.
I'm taking it back to the store I bought it from to try and get a replacement (I'm still within the 3 weeks warranty with the store) but I wanted to know if this was a common problem that can be solved without taking it back?

No, not common.
Try this, while connected to your charger. Press and hold the Power key, up and down volume (-/+) all three buttons simultaneously for about 10-12 seconds. That should allow a reset of the PlayBook and to power up.

Laptop won't turn on anymore

Have a compaq presario V6000 -> v6110us
It has always ran very, very hot. About a year or so ago the wireless card died. Now the computer won't run the BIOS or give any display. If you leave it off for a while, pull out the plug and battery and wait about 20 minutes and then turn it on everything works. However, upon immediate reboot it won't turn back on.
The computer lights light up (volume controls, etc, light on the power button), but no noises of hdd spinning or fans, and then all of a sudden the lights will flash off and right back on but still no display.
It makes no difference if the battery is in or out. Also, I know someone with the same computer so I tried their AC adapter with no luck. Switched the harddrive and memory and this was still a problem. Finally, I tried to boot the computer with no ram in it and still nothing happened, no beeps/bios/display.
I came across this on an internet search: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docu … c=en&cc=us
Our model/part number fits the bill. Is something fried? Or are there other recommendations I can try?

As you indicated, it sounds like some sort of overheating problem going on there. Maybe time to send it to laptop heaven...

IPod nano won't turn on anymore after frozen update process

Hey, my friend asked me to update his iPod nano 1G Black (1GB) to new firmware. OK, did that.
After the uploading of the new firmware to the iPod, it shows that Black Apple Screen, and a White Loading Bar beneath that Apple logo. But halfaway it froze, so I need to reset it. So the nano resetted, it went out, but NEVER went on anymore!
I've tried all things to solve it, draining battery, resetting, holdswitching, and many other things that I found on forums here. I aint stupid, so "Try switching the HoldSwitch on and off, then try resetting the iPod" wont solve my problem. It stays dead...
Also when I connect it to my PC, it won't show up, no sound of connecting hardware, screen stays black, won't charge, what the **** has happened?
The only thing the iPod can do now is laying on the desk, and when I try to reset it, after six secs I hear a soft click, but it stays dead.
Plz, does anyone knows where I can get support, that nano is around a year old... I can't believe that the battery is broken within a year...
And now my friend thinks that I broke his nano, but all you guys here are having the same problem...
Is there any emailadress where I can contact Apple, instead of placing it here?
Man, I hope somebody can help me...
Nillus and the dead nano

Yup, I think that's the only way how to solve it.
The nano is still under warranty, my friend bought it in April 2006.
And I know an Apple Store 15 mins from my home
Thnx for your help everyone!
@Sakura-chan!
I think that's the best you can do
Take it back to an Apple Store.

My iPod Touch 2nd Generation won't turn on anymore

I have had this iPod for about a year now, just enough for the warranty to expire, just as I was surfing the internet the spinning dial came up and it shut off. At first I thought it just died. I plugged it in and let it charge overnight, when I woke up it would turn on but all what would happen is the Apple logo would pop up then after about 30 seconds the screen would dim and another 30 seconds it would shut off. I took this to many dealer for troubleshooting including AT&T, Radio Shack, BestBuy, and Verizon but none could help me.Not because they weren't allowed, just they couldn't get to work. I tried to plug it in to my laptop, but that didn't work either. It doesn't even show up and it won't show up in iTunes. PLEASE HELP IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION I'M ONLY 15 AND DONT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO GET IT REPAIRED

Start with a simple Reset:
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).
If that doesn't help move on to Restore and then to Recovery.

Ipod Nano won't turn off anymore

Since a view days i can't shut down my ipod anymore. I tried to reset is, used the updater and even used the restore option.
But everytime i turn it off it goes on in about 5 seconds on its own. It only shuts down when the battery is empty.
I hope it's just an software error:(
Greets Marcel.

Hello Marcel,
And welcome to Apple Discussions by the way,
Why isn't there a button for ''this doesn't help me at all''?
Because that would be rude.
Because this wasn't very helpfull since i've read all the help and support stuff from the apple website.
If that is the case, you should have mentioned that in your original post. How would we know what you have and have not tried? We all have to start somewhere when it comes to troubleshooting these kinds of issues.
I think it is a hardware problem since non of the software fixes work.
If you already know what the problem is, you should know what steps to take next. If you have a warranty, take advantage of it now. If not visit your closest Genius bar and have them take a look at or set it up to be serviced, either through Apple or a third party repair company.
Best of luck.

Macbook Pro in moist conditions: won't turn on anymore?

Hi Everyone,
I wanted to start this thread to ask a few questions about a current problem. I bought a macbook pro in January of this year and love it. Problem is, the laptop stopped turning on just yesterday. I am currently in the UK on business and the laptop stopped working, so I brought it to the local Apple Store here. They opened it up and found that there was corrosion on the board and that there was water damage on the laptop. I have never spilt any sort of liquid on this machine directly, nor have I had it in direct contact with any water, juices, etc. This is a brand new laptop with about 20 work hours on it. I brought it out to work 3 weeks ago, and work in the Offshore Oil Industry in Canada, and frequently use my laptop for work and personal use while i'm out there. Being on a vessel in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, it IS a moist environment, but would this have any affect on the performance of the laptop? I am devestated to have paid so much money for this product, and only get 4 months out of it, only to have it stop working....
Any suggestions on a solution for this?

So as ORGELTHORPE says you could be very judicious about where you use the computer.
I also wonder whether a hydrophobic treatment like this would be helpful:
http://inhabitat.com/liquipels-hydrophobic-nanocoating-makes-gadgets-completely- waterproof/
There have been many of these show up recently.
You could also create a special environment using a dissicant such as silica gel and a forced air environment to dry, desalinize the air before the computer sees it.
There are companies that apparently deal with this all the time:

A small consumer dehumidifier might actually do the job. Don't know about the power on an oil rig.
The worst case I ever saw was a client who lived downwind from the active volcano in Hawaii. Air high in sulphuric and nitric acid turns out to be very detrimental to electronics and humans.

My phone won't turn on anymore

I have an iPhone 5 and recently it had started to turn off at 20% and then 40% and then 80% and then it got to the point where I had to have it plugged in to be able to use it. Now even when plugged in I am unable to use my

Probably a bad battery. Apple has a battery replacement program for some iPhone 5's that shipped with defective batteries. See: https://www.apple.com/support/iphone5-battery/
