iMac DV SE will not power on

I have a G3 iMac at an auction for $5 tonight. It of an iMac DV special edition model M5521.

I got it home and plugged in and it does NOTHING. No light. Click No. Nothing at all.

I tried the reset button in the coverage of the RAM, and I also tried removing the PRAM Battery. The PRAM Battery appears to be dead, but the iMac should still start, bcs, as I understand it, is not an 'old world' mac.

In addition, I don't HAVE to have a keyboard attached to the Mac to POST, right?

I found others with the same problem online, but what I find is so old, so I thought I would just ask again.

Any help would be appreciated!

Any model of iMac used the design of the new world ROM , if that matters for this situation.

The iMac could simply be 'broken', that the power supply is bad.  But he must have a good PRAM battery to function properly.  They are inexpensive, so if you want to run, you need to replace to remove battery PRAM as the problem.  It looks like this

  • Equium A60-157 will not power

    Hi people!

    Could someone offer a bit of expertise and tell me whether or not the series Equium A60 - 157 has a center pin in its socket? I need to know that my laptop doesn't have one and it will not power! I'm deeply frustrated because I paid at the time £999 and it doesn't work!

    I have a feeling that the PIN has cracked and is now part of my dc adapter but I need to be sure before I get it fixed!

    Also if this is the case anyone Kow how much it may cost to do fix an indicative maybe!

    Cheers for your help!

    Nick

    Hi Nick,

    Yes, I think the A60 use an outlet that has a central pin. The CAP at the end of the head of the AC must have a central hole. You can find that the spindle broke and is now stuck in the plug on the power cord. This is not a rare event on the series of satellites, laptops.

    The bad is more Servicers will simply replace the motherboard (where the socket is together) rather than perform a repair to the component level. It is obviously a costly option for you, but is probably more faster/easier for the repairman.

    I have, in the past, tried unsuccessfully to find a source for the plug for my A30 (just in case) but I only managed to find a supplier who could provide a component of second hand provided by a junk motherboard. :-(

    Kind regards

  • laptop will not power. No blue light with ad adapter not plugged in.

    Lately, I've been jump the battery in and out to get the laptop (dv6) to propel to the top. This afternoon after a morning's work, the blue laptop ac adapter light does not illuminate and the laptop will not power.
    Naturally, I suspect the battery, but maybe it's the AC adapter. If all goes well, it is not the computer itself!

    Any ideas on what I should buy first. Am on business in Dubai and desperate!

    Thank you
    Jeff.

    Solved. Sort of.
    I bought a new battery and everything works as it should.
    The real question now is why stop a bad battery the notebook powered with the AC adapter is plugged?

  • Workstation Dell Precision T7400 will not power with ATI Radeon 5970 installed

    Hello

    I had my dream, the monster bi - GPU ATI Radeon 5970 video card and installed in my T7400 but the system will not start, all I get is a fast fan rotation and a kind of sounds from food, a bit like "Brrrnt, click on" led me to believe that the power supply could not handle my video card.

    The video card requires an 8pin and 6-pin power plug. When I plug the 8-pin and 6-pin and turn on the computer, is a no-go as shown above. When only the power plug 6-pin I plugged the PC sounds like it will start, the power of fans but no display as I expect.

    I tried this video card into the two PCI-Express slots with the same failure as a result. The computer works fine with the Nvidia Quadro 3700 in it... using a 6 power connector pins.

    I got the ATI Radeon HD 5970 video card in a store of the local computer and it had tested ($15) because I didn't test it in a spare computer and video card passed with flying colors...

    That's why I thought my 1000 Watt power supply was a problem, so as a bet, I ordered a replacement off eBay and received a sweater to work more the wiring harness and completely replaced the two who has a job to say the least! Have you tried to replace the wire bundle? a lot of work...

    I got it all back together, crossed my fingers and prayed and tried again and the same thing... NO LUCK... I put the graphic card Nvidia Quadro 3700 back in and the system of power like a charm.

    What on earth could it be the cause for it? I REALLY want to get this video card works in this system.

    I even tried a bios update and carefully watched the card mother and everything that I could to see if there's... nothing exploded capacitors...

    Please HELP - I want to get my game...

    Wesley

    I think I found the solution and I would like to mention it here to help others if they get him...

    A: the power of Dell for the T7400 was designed to produce five rails 12 volts @ 18 AMPS each and the video card requires approximately 45 to 50 amps to work properly. Video cables (one with a 8 pin) and 6-pin on the harness even seems to only provide amps 18 or more and the computer will not power because power protection circuit sees too many amps being requested by a 'rail' and turns off immediately...

    I went to electronics of FRY in San Jose and bought a few cards that helped divide the current between different sources, such as the cables of the hard drive and video.

    B: I have a small battery backup power unit and my T7400 was plugged into the saved game... When I got the video card to work, he could make a beep loud and after minutes cutting my T7400 due to the mainstream power support... I plugged the computer into a 'surge protector' but not battery backed up to the slot and since then had no problems...

    Now after several tests including FurMark, my graphics card stress works very well in this system... This is due to an unfortunate design in the T7400 power supply and wiring... Now that I have this solved, I hope that someone else can benefit...

    Get an adapter like this one, it allows to separate the power sources for the 8 power connector pin and use the PIN 6 original which is connected to the Dell printer condition 8 pin adapter, for the 6-pin slot... hope that makes sense... by trial and error, you got it right!

  • Tecra M9 - will not power on and flashing LED

    Can someone tell me where I can find a list of what means the various sequences of flashing of LED on a Tecra M9?

    I have one that will not be running at all and the power light flashes a particular model of amber.

    Toshiba Tecra M9
    PTM91E-04R03TEN

    Hello

    I think that such a list of error codes for the LEDs are not available. I've never seen such lists on the Toshiba site, I guess they are no longer available to the authorized service provider.

    But you can try this: remove the battery and the AC adapter at least an hour. Then connect the two devices again and try to start the laptop.

    If it doesn t work an ASP needs to ask for help. They can give you professional help and fix it.

  • Satellite A40 will not power

    My A40 Sat will not contribute to that. In the light is orange flashing constantly. I previously had a problem with the AC adapter failed and replaced it with a temporary universal adapter which worked very well so far.
    It of because I'm a foreigner and can not get the original Toshiba.

    Hello

    I guess you used is not not original and not supported AC adaptor / CC. I guess that the problem came from the AC adapter / CC.
    If the power supply microprocessor detects a malfunction, the DC IN icon flashes orange. The boss of blinking indicates an error. The blink code must convert the hexadecimal error code.
    This error can be read by the Service of Toshiba partner. It can give you a specific answer what s wrong.

    If you remove the laptop battery, reconnect the cable to the notebook AC power, then turn on, it powers the laptop?

    Please make sure that the AC adapter cable is not plugged into a power strip, surge arrester, or secondary power source. It should be directly into a wall outlet.

  • HP Photosmart Premium C310 series will not power

    Printer hp photosmart premium C310 went offline and will not print. Usiing Window 7 64-bit OS. Had no problems until I tried to print the other day and a message came saying printer has been disconnected. I tried printer, computer and router wireless off. And reinstalling the printer software. Now when I try to activate the printer back on it's stuck at the 'initializing' on the printer screen. This process has removed the printer from my computer and now since the printer will feed properly, I can't reinstall it. Help, please. I need my printer ASAP for my college courses.

    With the current of the printer, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.  Wait 10 minutes and plug it back and check.
