Dell PC randomly freezes and now require the power button to turn off

• Satellite 1005: Push the power button, will turn off the AC power.

  Laptop: Toshiba Satellite 1005

  Problem: When I press the power button and let go, the laptop immediately loses all power.

  I use the power cord plugged into the laptop, the power supply light is green, but when I press the power button and let go, as soon as the power light goes black(turns off), nothing happens.

  Howerver, if I PRESS the power button without letting go, power LED lights, but the laptop won't boot at all, no Startup logo, no sound no matter what.

  It's the second time this has happened, the first time, I let stand overnight and the next day she booted up fine.

  Currently, the laptop is cold, it did not work, but always the same thing as described above.

  There are no changes made to the laptop.

  Any ideas?

  It seems that the contact, the power button is faulty. Better to elevate the laptop to a Toshiba service station for a check.

  I n ' t´t think that it is a software failure.

  Good bye

• power led on the rear of the computer the power button / stop turns on, then turns off.

  I have a HP TouchSmart 610-1015xt.  The light on the transformer power is on, but not exactly brilliant (I think it's good, but not sure).  The light next to the power input is on.  When I plug in the power, the power led lights up for a couple / few seconds then turns off and does not turn.  At no time the computer capable of running and it does no whether noise (no fans, no beeps, no attempt to start.

  Any suggestions?

  Figured it out.  Apparently I have reset the battery internal and then unplugged the power button circuit and then he started upward.  The only problem is that now it will restart automatically every time it is closed or even sleep.  I'll start another forum on this issue.

  Thank you for your help.

• When my computer goes into sleep mode, I have to press the power button to turn it back on.

  original title: sleep/hibernation

  When my computer goes into sleep mode, I have to press the power button to turn it back on.  I used only having to press a key on the keyboard.

  Can someone tell me how to solve this problem, as if it was before?

  Well, on the theory that your computer is awkward, try to change the settings to another thing and OK your way out the control panel.  Then go back and put them in the way they were and OK your way out.  Occasionally, it will reset the internal parameters and things can return to normal.

• Cursor randomly freezes and jumps to life on Tecra 8200 with Win XP

  Tecra 8200 with Win XP Professional

  The cursor randomly freezes and jumps to life after a few seconds, very rarely, I have to re - start.
  This happens as well with the mouse of keyboard or mouse remotely.

  Hope someone can help because it's driving crazy me.

  See you soon

  I agree with Akuma. Disable the internal mouse and external use only. I have old Tecra M1 with the same keyboard and in my case the problem was faulty Acupoint placed on the keyboard.

  With the new keyboard, everything was OK again.
  I recommend you to disable the mouse of the computer laptop and external use only.
