iMac G3 stuck power button / stop

So, I bought a G3 iMac on eBay. It's a PowerMac 2.2 If you need this information.  A few months later, the power button is stuck in. So I have to keep hitting the power button to get it to turn on. And if I shake the computer, you can turn off. All solutions on how to get this button to be able to take off. The computer was probably not the best handle I see a few pieces chipped through the case and the door for the RAM has tape on it since there is nothing to hold the bottom.

The initially supplied with your iMac keyboard has a power button.  If you use this keyboard, can you use this button to power instead?

  • 3 peripheral USB connected to the Macbook 4.1 computer tells me to restart using the power button / stop?

    I went to record a live concert, and I need to use a single interface to record the members of the group with microphones near directly to a computer and another interface running for my model of Macbook 4.1 end of 2007, to get signals from the map of the House.

    When I plug my converter USB 3.0 AD / DA in my Macbook 4,1 - the computer sends immediately a window indicating to me to "reboot" the computer using the power button / stop. Ideas or comments about why this happens?

    I read on this forum that USB ports should work with retroactive effect, or accept USB 3.0 devices, but just use a speed 2.0?

    Thank you.

    It could be that it is a requirement of your converter AD / DA she needs to be present at a properly accessible to the OS X when startup sequence it is plugged into a USB2 port.

    Its also interesting to note that, well that peripheral USB3 can be plugged into the USB2 ports... it could be that your device may not work properly unless it is used with a port USB3... for reasons of bandwidth or even certain types of power supply.

    But to be sure...

    Which converter AD / DA are you using?

  • Turning on the iPod touch 4G without power button / stop

    My power button doesn't work.  I know how to turn my iPod touch 4G (ios 6.1.6) using the help key, but what I want to know is if I can turn on the iPod while plugging it.  I know when the battery dies him plugging it turns back on, but I have not tried after that I turned it off.   I would just try this, but today, I'm not able to repair or replace.  So I want to make sure that it will work before as I did try.

    (I know that I can turn by resetting the network it works, but then I have to retype my password.)  I hope I can just stop, and then plug it in.  But just want to be sure.)

    Thank you.

    Yes, unless you have other problems, connect the iPod to a charging source turns on the device

  • Satellite L550-1CW does not start by pressing the power button / stop

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L550-1cw that won't start, lights up when I press the power button all the lights at the front, the fan starts and he is looking for a HARD drive for about 2 seconds and then stops.

    I tried a new HARD drive, but the same happens.
    I was told that all this must be ignored and buy a new one that is not an option.
    I love this laptop and want to run again as this is the best I have ever owned.

    Help, please

    Can you give us more information on this vulnerability?
    You see something on the screen after pressing the power button?
    You can access the BIOS by pressing the F2 key immediately after switching on the device?

    Despite this whole issue, I think that if nothing is visible on the screen it could be a serious problem with one of the following: RAM modules, motherboard, CPU/GPU.

    From my experience the RAM memory modules are not very expensive (2nd hand might be good enough) and the replacement isn t very delicate in the case where the faulty memory causes this problem, the laptop could be set for a little money.

    But in case of problems of motherboard, laptop repair procedure could be very expensive.

    Hello

    Try disabling the startup of Windows 10 hybrid - you can do the following.

    Open settings and select System.  Select food and sleep, and then click additional power settings - in the next window, click on "Choose what the power button" in the left pane.

    In the next window, click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable" (close), then Remove the check mark from the box against 'Turn on a quick start (recommended) '.  Click on the button Save the settings, and then close open windows and stop the laptop by right clicking on the icon from the Start Menu, select prompt (Admin) and click 'Yes' to the uac prompt.

    Type (or copy and paste) the following command (including spaces) and click Enter.

    Shutdown /s /t 0

    Start the laptop and let Windows take over completely for a few minutes before checking if she will now disable correctly.

    If this has fixed the problem, it may be useful by turning the quick start back on - sometimes simply remove and re-create the file will solve the problem.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite A200 23W stop seconds after pressing the power button / stop

    Hello all :)

    I just bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 23W a few hours ago.
    I turn it on and let it complete the installation of Vista.

    After the installation of Vista finishing it asket to resturn laptop and from that moment, the laptop is "dead".
    After pressing on restart the computer (from Vista) computer turns off without problem, but he never did it again!
    After a few minutes of waiting, I tried to start it by pressing the power button.

    Now when I press the power button, I can hear the HDD work and most of the time until I see something on the screen of the laptop computer stops!
    Now, I noticed that both the battery indicator AND the DC IN light are hot flushing and stop Flash at times.
    Reading the manual, I guess that the DC IN indicator should Flash in all not well.

    I tried to uninstall the battery and try to start the laptop, but in this case I can't even listen to the HDD, commissioning!
    I try to unplag and replag (on the laptop as well as Jack) power cable but again no result.

    Any ideas of what past?
    Thank you very much

    I don't know what the problem is here and, in my view, should not be so important to you. Contact your dealer as soon as possible and to talk with him. Explain the situation. You will get may be new notebook. Otherwise, please contact the nearest authorized maintainer and let check your laptop.

    The laptop is brand new and it should work. Please do not wait too long.

  • PowerEdge T410 won't do anything when you press the power button / stop.

    My work has recently retired this t410 server. It worked without any problems when he was arrested. I had to remove and destroy the hard drives from the system. After that, I was allowed to bring home for my own use. I installed a new sata drive and plugged into the power supply and a free sata port on the motherboard. I get nothing when I tried to boot the system. This version has the unique power. Power light only lights up when you press the test button. System fan is going at full speed, but stops when you release the power button. Also on the control panel lights 1,2 and 4 and HDD power on and turn until the test button is released. There is a single green light lit on the motherboard, while it is plugged. Apart from that, I have no response when you press the main power button. Can anyone tell how to try to get it up and running again.

    -Who-

    I have not received the answers more so I think that this issue is ignored. So I'll let everyone know what finally happened. I solved my problem after a lot of electrical testing. I found a diagram of the arrangement of the power dell power supply pins and I made myself the best possible meter test. After several rounds of tests, I found several pins that did not have the right voltage. I bought a new power supply. I installed and replace everything. I plugged into the system and it auto fed on itself. I loaded from an OS and it works perfectly.

  • Meeting place for Dell 11 Pro 7130 power button / stop does not work

    I just bought this camera and can not get the power button to turn on the screen and off as suggested by the manual should be possible.  If I press and hold the power button then it made a stop hard and if I held down when turned off it will vibrate for a second and then turn on, but a short press does nothing when Windows is running.

    Tried short diagnostics and no problems found. Updated the BIOS to the A13, the drivers updated to the latest versions of all available installers, updated firmware screen scanner and camera. I saw a post from early 2014 with the same question where someone suggested to put it off to quick start, but that has not changed anything either. All Windows updates have been applied.

    How can I get the power button to work?

    If after trying a few things more that I decided to give at the moment and made a sweet sleep on the desktop shortcut, so I had a quick way to get at least the screen turns off. The command to execute is: rundll32.exe powrprof.dll, SetSuspendState 0,1,0

    This seems to be more than Hibernate because it should boot from the bios whenever it turns on (although the arguments given him say no to the hibernation), but it was better than nothing.

    I tested it worked a few times then rebooted the system. When I did this he decided to install updates which he said yet that all were waiting. When he started upward the power button now works.  I don't know what has changed or if the execution of the order makes a difference, but at least it works now.

  • 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?
