T61 feeds for a few seconds then dies

Last night, I started to have a problem with my T61 (model widescreen 7664-14, 1 "). I was working on it when he's completely lost power - and all the lights, including the witness of the hands, went.

I unplugged, removed the battery and then reconnected it - the power supply light is relit, but when I tried to return in less than one second everything then dead again.

I tried a few times-it doesn't seem to "forget" the error condition until I completely cut off the power, that is to unplug the unit and remove the battery. Once I did, I can the starts again, either with power outlet, or only to batteries, but soon it dies again. Time to failure lasts - the longest was about 15 seconds, it is to halfway through boot in Windows before you stop. But generally, the light only for less than a second before it stops.

Can anyone suggest what may be the problem or how I investigate further?

Thank you
Jonathan Dan Sumption

I had it solved - turns out it was still under warranty (I had not yet realized), Lenovo took in & (I think) replaced the motherboard.

  • Try power upward and he would keep a black screen for a few seconds then turn off and turn on and repeat until I've done a hard stop. I got a message on the svchost.exe

    Original title: help - csvhost.exe and problems to start

    My sons laptop has problems - try to turn on and it would maintain a black screen for a few seconds and then turned off and turn and repeat until I've done a hard stop.  I am able to navigate to the top after repeated attempts.  I could take a quick and complete hard drive test and it passed... Finally, I restored to factory and spent the last 8 hours going through the update process.  It works fine and restart without problems until recently - I followed the instructions to reboot to perform an update, but he had served in the "shutting down" mode for almost an hour I did a firm hard down.  It took a few attempts so he could begin after that, and when I did I had a message on the svchost.exe and thought that might have something to with him... found a site that has a download that is supposed to fix errors and am curious if that is recommended or whether there is another solution or possible make my misfortunes.  The site is: http://www.exe-error-advisor.com/svchost-exe.  I don't know what's happening - the computer works very well when it turns - to be fair, I did also made an update of "HP Total Care Advisor" who has nothing and after I rebooted I could not make it work... "HP Advisor has stopped working"

    Any ideas or advice?

  • My computer lag / freezes for a few seconds then starts to work again and get pop ups, I have never before.

    For example, while I am typing my computer freezes for a few seconds and I can't type or will not move the mouse. This lasts a few seconds but then starts to work again ok. This happens on every 10 minutes or so... enough to get on my nerves, especially at the time of the school. How can I fix? I also get a pop-up whenever I go to a new page. How can I stop this as well? I'd be so grateful for any help on this matter.

  • Server 2012r2 changes the time for a few seconds, then changes back

    I have a windows 2012r2 server that points to our DC for NTP, the domain controller points to time.windows.com. Every 2 months or more, the 2012r2 server will change its time 4 hours back (5 if we're on DST) then a few seconds later, it will change to the correct time.

    The domain controller never changes time. This time change blocks processes sometimes and they don't come until I manually restart them.

    No idea what could cause this change soon?

  • Klondike Solitaire FREEZES on my RT Surface for a FEW SECONDS THEN REPREND AGAIN

    When I play Klondike Solitaire on my RT Surface, all a few minutes it will hesitate or freeze momentarily. When this happens, the screen become completely insensitive for usually one to several seconds, then resumed as if nothing had happened. If I had typed on the spot of deal - example (upper-left), three cards could pause to two cards, then back and deal with the third.  The taps on the screen during a freeze appear to be ignored.

    I tried to use the Task Manager to find the associated activity changes, but saw nothing obvious. I suspected possible interaction network of Xbox, but even with the RT in airplane mode (all networks off) made no difference.

    I don't see clear indications that other people have similar problems.

    Any suggestions?

    /kenw

    I never managed to get in touch with support game people - Microsoft seems to want to insist that I sign for Xbox - which I don't have and certainly have no interest.

    However, seems Klondike was last updated solves the problem, if it I assume that there is a bug someone he knew and fixed.  would have been nice if they had documented it...

  • Click and drag the work for a few seconds then the work stoppages?

    Hi all

    See this video of drag and drop doesn't work does not in creative suite - YouTube https://youtu.be/QODs8fF84g4 that shows the problem.

    I have the same problem with Indesign, but not with the first where I can drag and drop, drag to prune, drag the elements, clips, etc.

    In photoshop I can click and drag in the layer order resort or to crop an image, etc., but after a few seconds, these functions do not work, and nothing happens at all when you click to drag. Layers are not locked, this happens with any project, no image, no matter if I open the program as an administrator or not. It is a Windows 10 computer and I'm on their beta program, but drag and drop works fine in windows/creation/other applications.

    What this may be? It worked fine a month ago.

    Help much appreciated.

    Select this option.

    The fact that you can't move the floating panels might indicate a problem with the mouse capture. When a mouse down is detected capture us the mouse and drag the user interface as you move the mouse.

    You use all third party tools that interact with the mouse?

    If you hold down the "shift" key when launching Photoshop, you can disable third-party plug-ins 3. You see the problem when you run without 3rd party plug-ins enabled?

  • YouTube videos are green for a few seconds when they start, quickly moving and switch between fullscreen and windowed mode

    suddenly, last night something happened with youtube. whenever I run a video on youtube its green for a few seconds, then it goes back to normal. its also green when I fast forward/jump and when I change between full screen and windowed. I linked to a screenshot of how it looks as if I googled this problem I find something else where people get a green screen but no picture at all and that it lasts the entire video.

    I tried updating the drivers for my graphics card. I tried to play on my nvidia card rather than use my intel graphics hd 4600 and still got the same result, but instead to get a green image, it was really dark almost black. I also tried to reinstall flash even downgrade to an earlier version, but nothing does. and the strange thing is that I only have this problem on youtube and only through firefox so I even tried reinstalling firefox, but that did not work either

    I found 2 things of this kind of help.
    the first solution is to disable hardware acceleration, but instead to get a green image for a few seconds, image frozen for the same period of time and then play and she is like when its Green, when I start it up, jump and change to full or windowed.

    the second solution I found in support for mozilla, to change the HTML5 player. But even if this player works great I really like it. for some reason any the break from the drive when I change between full screen and windowed mode and I don't like these pop-up windows get you that its now in full screen and I can press ESC to quit.

    These are just little things, but I would like to return the standard player.
    If anyone knows anything that could help me with this please let me know.

    This is the screenshot:

    What a little wild speculation?

    YouTube uses a technology that has chopped videos in individual pieces, which is probably video serve more easily, but could create more opportunities for issues when moving in the video. There is an add-on called Center of YouTube that allows you to disable this technology and back to the days of one big file. Might be worth a try.
