Initial setup of TouchPad: device will not power on!

This morning I received my new 32 gb WiFi HP TouchPad by mail. I opened the content and began to charge the device. following the quick start guide. When I plugged my charger microUSB button began flashing (alternating left and right). Then I went to class for a few hours a returned (4 + hours elapsed). I returned home to find my HP TouchPad with a screen empty and the central button continues to Flash as before.

I tried to simply hold the power button (for more than a minute), holding power + Center (for more than a minute), holding power + several times by selecting Center, power + volume-to the top (usb mode), but none of these actions have given a different result. No low battery indicator, no logo of HP, still blinking Center button. I hope that the camera simply doesn't have enough charge still, but with each passing hour, I'm starting to think more and more that this is not the question as a whole.

Everyone knows the same symptoms as me, and if so, what measures have you taken to get your device to start the first time? Also just to clarify, should I try the hard reset with the power connected yet? (This is what I tried)

This diagnostic process seems quite useless, and it's starting to make me anxious. A solution of the community would be much appreciated before that I have to go visit my shrink for advice.

All humor, thank you in advance for your comments.

Thank you for your response. I already tried this several times, without any successful results. Should I try it with the power supply connected?

Edit:

I found a solution! (A very ghetto one at that)

The cable for my phone HTC microUSB is slightly damaged, it becomes disconnected and can be shaken around when you are connected to the device easily. Using this cable, as well as the power adapter supplied by HP, I plugged the end microUSB for the TouchPad. Using the end of a pair of pliers, tweezers, I then supported the connector so that it would be flush with the device. About five minutes later, the backlight then on and displays the low battery indicator.

I have attached a photo in case someone else has this problem in the future. CM9 here I come!

  • 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

  • my built-in touchpad mouse will not scroll down

    original title: mouse Touchpad

    I was searching in the control panel and uninstall some programs from Microsoft (like a total fool!) and now my built-in touchpad mouse will not scroll down.  I have to use the arrows on the far right of the screen to scroll up and down.  Integrated on my lap top touchpad scroll upwards and down.   Any suggestions?  ASAP please!

  • 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!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones after upgrade attempt for 8310, device will not - restart only flashing red

    Problem: I tried to upgrade the software of the device to 4.5 and now THE DEVICE WILL NOT RESTART at ALL. Not with a hard reset. Not using the SIM card and the battery of my 8310 and put in his. Nothing. Just a red light that flashes in a model: two quick flashes then pause; two quick flashes then a pause, etc.

    Reminder: This 8310 got to. 4.2.2 software device and something like 2.6 on the desktop. I have downloaded/upgraded to 4.6 for the office and 4.5 for the device since the AT & T site. The Director of office prompted me to install the new software for device... good. After a few minutes, I get an "unknown error" message and it stopped the installation. Following a support article, I uninstalled reinstalled two updates, but then the problem occurred: NOTHING happens on the screen of the device at all, just the red light flashing when the unit is plugged.

    The AT & T store told me that it's the tenth 'dead' curve he is seen in about a week, apparently all occurring when people tried upgrading the software. All the thoughts/help to offer?

    Help, please!

  • 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.

  • Bluetooth devices will not connect after a long period of absence

    It started in the last 3 months, I'm not sure of that OS upgrade specifically.  I currently have Version 10.11.3.  I have a MBP late 2011.  I use a keyboard, trackpad and bluetooth magic, bought the same time as my mac.

    Whenever I come back from a business trip (usually a day or two max), my bluetooth keyboard and trackpad will not connect.  They appear in the drop down bluetooth devices, but when I select Connect, nothing happens.  I did everything the new standard batteries, SMC/PRAM reset, nothing helps.  I then manually have to pair them up with difficulty using Set Up Bluetooth Trackpad/keyboard.  It will show "found", then say could not pair.  I have the power on the devices several times his cycle, and then hold the power button 'on' to the pair.  Usually, it takes 5-10 minutes and is terribly frustrating.  Once I get the paired, as long as my stays Mac in the same room with the devices, they pair very well.  Appreciate the advice.

    99 + % of the time, there is a previous event - you indicate that this has been the case for «...» 3 months... »

    What event would it? Upgrade to El Cap? Nothing at all you can think of that has occurred "3 months ago"

  • Sansa Fuze - device will not start error 10

    I know that it's all over the forums and believe me, after trying the support of Sandisk I scoured the entire internet and put into service each available remedy.

    Here's the deal. I have a brand new Sansa Fuze 4 GB. After taking its packaging, I plug it on my desktop (Windows XP, SP2) and I get the message "USB device not recognized". I tried every single USB port, including a self-powered USB hub.

    I am the administrator on this computer and I added myself as a "Net localgroup Administrators local service' - whatever the hell that means.

    I have installed and reinstalled WMP 11 and the MTP Porting kit. I tried all of the fixes in MSC mode. I tried all the fixes on three separate, all computers running the same operating system - one is a laptop.

    I contacted the helpdesk of SanDisk and their corrections were more extensive that I found on the internet, the results have not changed.

    So, if someone can help me. I don't understand why this unit is so full of bugs. I don't understand why it will not work right out of the box as announced. It's actually a Christmas gift for a friend, so the clock is ticking. I wanted to have this thing set up before unleashing it on it. I'm sure that some bugs he get up and running should be echoed on his computer!

    Brand new? Bring her back. You probably have a lemon. Or have SanDisk replace it. \

    Edit: You could also have a bad power cord. But this the heck, replace all the way.
