Computer will not turn on

Occasionally, I try to turn on my computer and the power light comes on for about one second then turns off and and the computer will not start. It does this on AC power and battery power. The next day I try it again and it starts normally.

This could indicate a bad battery, or bad memory chip. Try starting without the battery. If this doesn't work, then try takeing one or the other memory chips out. If the problem persists, then it may lie within the power management system on the motherboard.

I have.a Samsung UN60EH6000FXZA. Occasionally, when i turn tje tv on the screen is black. After abiut 30 seconds i jear the sound fro. The channel i have on. Usually if i power it on and turn it back on...

There's nothing wrong with the T-com board. It's most likely a weak capacitor on the power broad supplying the back lighting. Get 3 9v batteries for you have 27v disconnect the back lighting for the power broad and test each LED strip, to find the bad LED bulb. Change the bulb or bypass it. ( be careful not to crack the screen).

How do I turn off the Samsung sync-master p2050 monitor?

If it doesn't turn off by holding the power button down for 10 seconds, then it cannot be turned off by the power button alone, like most modern lcd monitors. Most modern monitors goes into standby mode. To completely cut power, you must unplug the power cable.
I've enclosed a link to the install manual for reference.

The blue power light no longer comes on.... The speakers were working for about 4 days since I've got them. Then I tried plugging in a headset to the units headset/mic jack and people couldn't hear me talk...

I have the GX Gaming speakers and occasionally the power will not come on when turning the knob. Unplugging the power cord for 30 seconds or so fixes the problem. Only unplugging for 10 seconds is not sufficient.

Power Switch will not turn my Rhino 530 HCx on

When I try to turn it on it comes up with the “rino” initialization screen and buzzes/vibrates at 5 second intervals. It never goes past this screen. Occasionally, for about 1 second a small white bar will appear across the bottom saying “0%. I’ve recharged the Li battery and got the same result. I’ve tried it while connected to the charger. Same result. I’ve tried using the optional 4 AA battery pack with fresh alkaline batteries. Same result. Did the factory reboot (page/enter/power buttons). Same – except instead of a buzz/vibrate I get the tone every 5 seconds. Have to remove battery to turn off.

Contacted Garmin tech support today (10/22) - hope to hear from them soon.

DV8309 power up problem: blue lights on for few seconds then off

The inverter inside the lcd panel is most likely your problem. Try removing the whole lcd screen from the laptop if you are capable and run it with the external screen to confirm. leave the lcd switch off (this lcd switch above the power button turns the lcd inverter on and off)
