Laptop has completely dead? :-(

Hello

I have a Compaq Presario CQ71 portable 230SA. She was me tellin for a few months now that the battery needs to be replaced, but I just can't afford a kind use just power to operate the system. This has been great so far until last night when it was working perfectly, but I try and boot the system today and it doesn't seem to do much thing? I plug the adaper the power light (Lightning Bolt) will come continuously for 5-10 seconds and then when I press the power button, the light flashes 3 times and the system does absolutely nothing...

I tried a hard reset and it does nothing...

I tried it without the battery and nothing...

I tried another card from another laptop I know already worked and it does the same thing again?

I really need to get this working system as soon as possible and can't afford to take this to a shop for any help on this will be absolutely appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Jay

I recommend you to reinstall the memory on your laptop and then check if it helps to solve the problem. You can go through the following document to understand the blink codes (3 blink codes refers to memory).

    I've been on gmail, I try to print an e-mail when I got a message saying had stopped the page and I would like to wait or kill him. So I pushed to kill and took me to the desktop. On the desktop, I couldn't do anything to work so I pushed the power button. The power button starts blinking and the screen went black. Then I pushed the button of power again and the screen came blue and it won't do anything.

  • My I Pad has gone completely dead. It is a model and just completely dead tw vertion. Anyone has an explanation please

    My I Pad has gone completely dead. It is a version2model and just completely dead. Anyone has an explanation please! I turned on and off and the top (or at least gone through the process) charged no sign of life at all. ???

    How long have you leave the charge for the iPad? It will take at least 30 minutes on the charger before an iPad with a completely dead battery react. Be sure to use the charger supplied with the iPad, or its equivalent. Do not recharge an iPad by connecting it to a USB port on the computer. After 30 minutes on the charger to reset the iPad. Press and hold the Home button and the sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the appliance restarts. You lose no data by doing this. It's like a restart of the computer.

    If the unit still doesn't start not to make an appointment at an Apple store to have a technician look at your device. Or contact the Apple Support.

  • Satellite Pro A120 is now completely dead

    I have a Pro A120, which has not been used for a few months, but is now completely dead.
    There are no lights on it at all. I bought a new power adapter, but still nothing.
    Can anyone suggest anything to check/replace or did it. It worked fine the last time I used it.

    Hello

    Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
    Wait 1 hour or more and then reconnect the two parts.
    Then try again to power the unit.

    If that does not help, check out the RAM modules.
    Remove a module and test the device with a RAM module.

  • Satellite M70 - LCD display is completely dead

    Hello

    I have SatelLite pro M70 PSM76E and I it has following problem
    When I try to turn on, LCD is completely dead. I have connected the CRT and it seems to start ok but when it goes to windows it freezes and restarts after a few seconds.
    I think this is not problem with OS because when I use the recovery CD and knoppix cd LCD screen is always black. Maybe that's the problem with the graphics card or motherboard.

    I do not have a manual to disassemble to clean my M70 inside.

    I would find myself solution before going to the service.

    All ideas,

    Concerning
    Wuwik

    If you get an image on the external monitor, but not on the internal, it sounds like a failure of inverter FL. It controls the backlight of the screen and must be replaced.

    I recommend you contact an ASP in your country. They can disassemble the laptop and exchange the part. I m sure they will help you.

    I need to connect the touchpad on the laptop, and it will give instructions to activate my touchpad.

    Hope I'm right?

    Even if it might be too obvious, but I'm new with it. Please excuse me if I asked too obvious.

    Thank you once again

    Once more, you will need to follow the directions exactly as written in the thread that we have linked to you.  Just plug the touchpad to the pc will not fix anything - you need to download both programs, unzip and extract one of them, change the directory, and then run the program.

  • What is my iphone 5 completely dead?

    A few days ago, while I was at school, my iphone 5 stops completely. It 'didn' t show it must be loaded, the screen was black just plane. I tried to recharge it for a day, nothing... Tried to hold the buttons home and lock for 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute - absolutely no response. Does this mean that my iphone 5 is completely dead? The phone is about 2-3 years of age, but the battery has been replaced half a year ago.

    General file recovery

    If you stop using the drive, it is possible to recover files that have not been overwritten by using the recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, recovering files or TechTool Prodeleted.  Each of the previous ones come on a bootable CD for use without risk of writing, more data on the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are disc drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos to MacUpdate or CNET downloads. Recovery software generally provide trial versions that allows you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond that, or if the drive has completely failed, you must send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.

    The hard drive remains the most widely used and the data are recorded, the greater the chance that your deleted files will be overwritten.

    Also, visit The FAQ XLab and read the FAQ on data recovery.

  • Satellite L50 - B - 14 M completely dead - no power not on

    Hi all

    I am now the proud owner of a Toshiba Satellite L50 B 14 M, since a few days it serves not on at all. When it is pressed the button at the top right (even for al longer) nothing happens, not even a little noise or a flash of light. He remains completely dead and will not turn on at all. Haven't tried with adapter connected / not connected / without battery still no change. The laptop was not abandoned or in a hurry or anything strange I just pressed the power button to continue working on it.

    Tips / advice is much appreciated! Best regards, Jan

    Hello

    It's really not easy to say what may be wrong with that. Unplug the AC adapter / CC, remove the battery and press the power button for about 20 seconds. After doing this leave for a while and connect the power supply only.

    DC in / battery indicator lit?
    What happens when you press the button walk / stop? Is there a reaction?

  • HP pavilion 15 laptop: update for Windows 10 laptop has removed Bluetooth?

    Product number: F4T58EA #ABU

    After that I updated my windows 8.1 to windows 10 laptop remove bluetooth.

    There is no option in the settings to enable or disable. Nothing to do with bluetooth has completely disapperaed.

    I looked through device controller speaker, but there wasn't anything that had name bluetooths. I also looked through the computer management services and found two bluetooth, Bluetooth Handsfree and service support of Bluetooth services. they were both the value of manual start and weren't running. I started them and implement autostart. It makes no changes to the problem though.

    I think the problem is my bluetooth drivers are outdated and maybe I just need to reinstall drivers. But I don't know what my bluetooth card is. Update of drivers for other hardware has solved one problem with my PC after windows 10 updated.

    It's just the Windows bluetooth service.

    Each PC has this programming if it has bluetooth or not.

    Al, I can tell you, it's that your laptop has never come with BT

  • My Satellite laptop has been freezing randomly

    Hello

    I've seen a lot of posts on the subject, but no solution. So my laptop has been freezing at random the day I bought it. Today it happens much more often, this becomes ridiculously boring.

    Is there a way to fix this?

    > Once again, there was a notification that emerged after one of those who freeze soemthing mean in the sense of "there was a problem with amd (graphics card)?"but it was resovled."" It's all updated however.

    This notification comes from the graphics card driver. It might be possible that there is a problem with the graphics driver or with the graphics chip.
    Try to install the latest driver for Toshiba page. In case this doesn't help, recommend you to contact the service agents to check the hardware parts

    But the previous user's right, its really hard to talk about issues that put t always appear or are difficult to reproduce

  • What is the order of the removal of the songs to an iPod Classic syncing > somehow my laptop has started the process of synchronization without my knowledge and removed approximately 2,000 songs of my iPod classic.  How can I identify which were delete

    What is the order of the removal of the songs to an iPod Classic syncing > somehow my laptop has started the process of synchronization without my knowledge and removed approximately 2,000 songs of my iPod classic.  How can I identify which were deleted songs?  I always manually move files to prevent this.  I'm on Windows 10.

    Has no way to know that...

    If your library iTunes music fits on the storage space of 160 GB of your iPod classic, you just set to automatically sync your entire library of music.  Then, it won't matter which has been removed and which do not get deleted, because your iPod music library is the same as your library iTunes music.  And iTunes it keeps this way, every time your iPod connection (or click sync , if already connected).

    If you don't want "everything" in your iTunes library on your iPod (understandable), you can create a playlist in your iTunes library with all the songs you want on the iPod.  Then, set to automatically synchronize the playlist to iPod.  Instead of manually managing iPod, you manually manage playlist in your iTunes library.  The iPod has no need to be connected.  The next time you connect the iPod (or click sync , if already connected), iTunes will update the iPod with the same changes.  The big advantage is, if something happens like what you describe, or needs to restore iPod (erased) or even if break you your iPod (and get a new), need you a few mouse clicks to solve the problem.  Just set it up to sync the same playlist once again, which exists in your library iTunes (not only on the iPod).

    You can post back for more information about how to use automatic synchronization to do what you want more easily, go ahead.
