The model MacBook Pro 2009 - I went through 3 power cords now only in the last months - now, it can load the device only if I turn the end a small amount and keep the pressure on her...

    When I plug my galaxy s captivate phone into the usb port on my computer, it will charge the phone but I cannot share the news from computer to phone.

    Hi Mike,.

    Just to follow up with you on that, that very well may be the cause. Especially when it comes to mobile phones, the real cable you use is very important to have all the features when it is plugged into a computer. Where you can try a new USB cable yet, I hope that whoever is completely compatible with this phone.
  • Does not not on the AC adapter / CC, but it will charge the battery

    Hi all

    Little annoying it...

    The laptop can run on current alternative at all... but it will charge the battery while the laptop is turned off. If I remove the battery it will not work for flashing the bios seems to be a fruitless task.

    Any ideas what could be the problem? Some of my reading on this forum suggest a motherboard failure, but I bought this laptop as a reconditioned/end of the line of PC World model and I'm not sure exactly of my rights with this.

    Any help is very appreciated.

    Hello

    Other people may be right. It looks like something wrong with the motherboard.
    Eventually it s a power supply electronic problem. but that's just a guess

    However, the solution is the same:
    You need a hardware technician who would like to know what part exactly malfunctioned and he would replace
    I think in your case it s a motherboard

  • Reference Dell 2400 will start when the power cord connected to the mains, or after restoring power. Is the result of a setting on the computer?

    The computer is turned off.  If the electricity is off, the computer will automatically start once power is restored.

    I guess it's a desktop pc that is a few years old and yes some early atx power supplies will do it, creepy when there was an interruption of the power supply when you are out and go home to find the pc on.

  • power button will affect the performance of the system

    Mr President.

    I was forced to use the power button to turn off my laptop HP 2231tx G6 in certain circumstances. I would like to know if this will affect all my gear system & impact on its performance. Because mine is only a new system.

    Using the power button to turn off the computer will not affect the system hardware or your computer's performance. It can, however, lead to the system indicates that it "didn't stop in properly" and may require the system to the performance of a hard disk check before starting entirely. In addition, you can lose data by turning off the computer by this means.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • Adding a new power supply will void the warranty

    Hello

    I would like to replace the power supply 350w comes with the HP Pavilion p6-2378.  I have a 500w I'd replace it with.  Will this void my warranty?  This is the standard of 1 year.  I do that so that I can put a secondary graphics (AMD Radeon 4650 [assuming there is enough electricity to 500w?]) and take advantage of the GPU power and additional outputs. Then, would it be making void my warranty?

    Thank you

    Upgrade your PC with approved HP and parts supplied will not void your warranty.

    However, if you upgrade your PC with parts that are not approved HP and HP determines that the changes caused failure HP is not required to honor the warranty.

    Some PC outside the United States are delivered with seals and if broken the warranty is voided.  I have yet to see the seals on the PC of American consumers.

    @lagrit1023 ,

    Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forums.  What you have going on here, it's a problem with the regulation of power on the motherboard or a problem with not enough amps from the power supply.

    Can you try feeding on a laptop or have a place that you can take to check?

    The only other way to check if you have already made the checks of the battery and so on is getting the system sent repair.  To do this, you will need to contact the HP support by phone.

    Please contact our technical support at the 800-474-6836. If you do not live in the United States / Canada region, please click the link below to get help from your region number.

  • Power cord for a Toshiba NB200-10Z bought in the United Kingdom EU?

    Hello

    I just ordered the Toshiba NB200-10Z of Amazon.co.uk because the model wasn't available everywhere in Finland, despite being listed on the site of Toshiba Finland. It ' probably be only with the style UK power cord & plug-and - my concern is where can I find a power cord appropriate for the unit (with a schuko type plug)? Or are the UK and different EU cords also at the other end where they plug in the power adapter, which is what I need to get a power adapter and a power cord?

    Thanks for any information.

    Hello

    I agree with Al - eX. As you can see on the underside of the adapter AC/DC it can handle voltages range from 110 to 240 volts.

    You need only a new power cord. Therefore, you can contact the service provider authorized in your country. Maybe you can exchange the cable and if you get one free.
    Alternative go to your favorite computer store. Such a cable, you must find there too.

  • 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
