Hi, and yes, I do have some ideas that may be of help to you. I have to ask this first of course, have you checked to see if you have power to the unit at the receptical and or breaker? May have not had equalized pressures in the system causing it to draw high or excessive amperage on start up and tripping a breaker? If you haven't checked this, please start there for me? "Thank You" If you do have power to the unit and lets say as I don't no, can you hear anything when you call for cooling with the control T-stat on face of this unit, or nothing at all is happening? Lets say you have power but nothing is taking place as I think that is what you have said, It may be as simple as a control wire at the control connections is loose or may have come off or even burned off as they do pull high amps. You would have to remove knobs, front face cover, and may even have to remove all perimeter screws around the front inside, as the way to excess controls on a window unit, it slides into a case..Anyway, If you are willing to go these extra steps we may be able to locate what the cause of the problem fairly easy. If this unit is a a/c only and no heat, you will have many less controls to worry about checking out. To be honest, without a mulitimeter and some knoledge of electrical experience, It will be a pretty much take a good look over all parts and wiring for you? As look for any signs of hot spots in the exposed wiring, burned areas on controls right where you're main wires or power cord comes into the thermostat control. This would be the begining of the cooling cycle to start the unit on a call from the stat. You will need to find the main power which I would be certain this is a 208/220, 230, 240, volt unit.Wiring would consist of 2 hot legs, maybe red and black with a possable white and for sure a solid green for grd. coming out this power cord.Unit is most likely on a double pole 30 amp circuit breaker. Be careful around capacitors even with the power off to unit as they store enough volts to send you into cardiac arrest or give you a heck of a jolt as I tend to find out on occation when I forget to discharge one before testing it.You can use a screw driver to touch across terminal to the other side terminals and this will discharge them. Basicly, we need to determine if there is the right voltage coming in to the control, is it leaving the control when you turn it on? With out a meter, if the control is intermittently operating, you should hear or even see the condenser/indoor fan motor try to start. Lets stop hear, as if you have power to this control and nothing at all is happening, this control stat has probably failed on you. If you are able to check any of the things, breaker, any power coming out of the control at any point to control to ground, get back to me. I tend to give rather long solutions for my people out there, but we can solve this together I am sure. So I will stop and wait for an update from you.
Sincerely,
Shastalaker7

Power supply unit gets power as light on the back shows but pc wont turn on. Have tried differnt PSU and pc turned on but have had unit checked and they said the PSU is working fine. Cant fit standard PSU...

Try this to get it at-least back on with your PSU that fits in the case. open up your computer case, locate your power supply. With the AC cord still plugged in , unplugged the connectors to your motherboard from the PSU and wait about 10secs. Then replugged them in. This should power on your PC.
Also, You wanna check around where the PSU connects to the motherboard and make sure there is no damage. No burning,Discoloration anything that could be potential damage.
Hope this works atleast to get the PC booting up.

I have a sony cibershot camera for over a year now, it has always worked nicely, up until a month ago, it suddenly wont turn on anymore. I,ve already charged and re-charged the battery but nothing...

make sure the batt is charging and working fine.check also the batt contacts.make sure its clean.insert batt to your camera.instead of pressing the power button, press the play button instead to power camera on. if unit turns on,might actually be an issue w/the camera unable to power on in camera mode.if it turns on initialize cam (p.75 of the manual).see if it works.if still wont turn on try using a diff batt (or if you have an optional ac adapter model#acls5k use it, attempt to power on cam to isolate issue w/power source).if batt or ac adaptor not available try to check batt with another cam if possible to test batt. if still unit doesnt turn on using a fully charged, diff batt, or using an ac adaptor,unit would reuire service. hope this info helps.thanks:)

HP dv9000 display works fine on battery but not AC

It's either the motherboard or the power supply.

I'd start with testing the power supply. If you've got a multi-meter great. Just measure the voltage and see if it fluctuates.

If not, check with a local repair shop to see if they have a power adapter they could use to test with.

Our AC won't come back on after i turned the power at the wall off and then on again. It was all working brilliantly till then and now i can't get a bit of life out of it. I can't even tell if any power is...

To OzAnday
If the light indicator of your unit have light with power "on", then there is a problem with the unit. May the fuse of your pcb is open or the pcb itself has a problem. You have to call a qualified technician to check.

To floscar
Reset the rest button of your remote control, but if it wont work may the remote itself has a problem or the receiver board.
