My camcorder won't turn on

Power button isn't working. I've tried different batteries, plugging it into the computer, different memory cards, everything. And I can't get it to turn on. I have a Vivitar DVR 613HD. I can't find any manuals or guides or anything for this kind of camcorder either.

Battery contacts must check for possible corrosion, scrap it and clean.

The install CD and cable should be included in box w/camera...
Vivitar brand was recently bought out by Sakar last year (August 21st, 2008) which means support is likely discontinued. I have the installation CD. One upside of cheap consumer stuff is buying direct online - from China! Check ebay, the cable looks generic enough.

SOURCE: vivitar 550 dvr camcorder compatibility

Hi there, the camera can be used without drivers with a computer running MacOS (10 and greater, which I'm sure your daughter's would be anyway) for the purposes of downloading the video files from the camera to the computer and editing etc.
The functionality which is not supported without the drivers (which are windows only unfortunately) is using the camera as a webcam.
On connecting the USB cable from the camera to the MacBook and turning the camera on, you will be presented with a menu on the flip-out LCD screen entitled "PC connection". The two items on the menu allow you to choose between allowing you to download videos and other content from the camera (Mass Storage) and using the camera as a webcam for the computer (PC Camera). Mass Storage is the option you need to select at this point (which I believe is highlighted by default) after which an icon will appear on the desktop of the MacBook allowing you access to the camera's storage.
Hope this was of some help.
Regards,
-Matt/CrashDr

Acer Aspire 5536 only gives black screen when i connect power supply

Nothing is more annoying than a monitor that refuses to turn on. Make sure your Acer monitor is plugged in to a functioning outlet. If it's plugged into a power strip, try replacing it with a new one or moving the plug to a different outlet. Ensure that both ends of the power cable are plugged in firmly and securely, and that the connection to the monitor is not loose.

Cable Issues

Your Acer LCD monitor will usually accept DVI and VGA inputs. If you have an older computer, a VGA cable should work fine. If it doesn't have a VGA port, you'll need to obtain an inexpensive DVI to VGA adapter at your local computer store. A DVI cable, however, is compatible with most modern computers and offers superior picture quality over VGA. Make sure you're using the cable that's compatible with your system, and that you have the proper conversion adapter, if necessary.

G61-306NR power button doesn't work

Disk Drive works, Memory is good, so any Blinking Lights or Beeps when you hit the power button? Does anything ever post to the lcd screen when you press the power button?

It sounds like either you've got a memory issue or a video card issue. Just because the memory worked in your friend's computer does not mean it will work in yours. Your Slot where the memory goes might be bad.

When you plug in the power cord is there anylights whatsoever on the laptop, where the plug goes in or on the AC Adapter ofthe power cord?

When you press the power button do you hear fans running, hard drive spinning,lights on the computer, hear any beeps or lights constantly blinking, hear theDvD/CD drive click and the light on the drawer of the DvD/CD turn on for asecond or two? If so the laptop is trying to boot or may have booted, butthe screen is not showing for some reason.

Beep tones and blinking lights tells the technicians what is going on with thelaptop and why it is not booting. Most times it's a motherboard issuewhen you hear beeps or blinking lights continuous.

Not charging Acer Aspire 5732z, now won't turn on!

If it does not work with the Charger while the battery is out then I would say either your charger is bad, the dc power jack where the charger plugs into the laptop is bad or you've got motherboard issues. Does the charger have a light on it to indicate that it is on when plugged in the wall? Do you see any lights when you plug the charger into the laptop?

Take an ink pen and see if the little pin inside the computer where the charger plugs is loose and moves a bit. If so that is probably your problem. If the pin is tight and the charger works, then you've got motherboard issues.

Phone wont charge so will not turn on

Have you tried more than one power outlet? It could be the power outlet you're trying to use isn't functioning. If it won't charge on a different outlet, the issue is either the charger you're using or the phone itself. Try wiggling the charger around while plugged in to the phone, see if that will charge it at all. You should also trying getting a different charger and see if that will work. If not, you may just need to replace the battery/phone.

My cell phone keeps shutting off on its own, and not turning back on, on its own. it is fully charged and i've tried taking the battery out and blowing it off, but it keeps doing this.

Check that the power button isn't stuck partially depressed. If that isn't it, you've got issues inside the phone that are going to require qualified service, or an internally damaged battery.

I guess it depends on why your power jack was dameged at first.
If the old power jack was replaced after any electric accidents, this current problem can be caused by your damaged motherboard.
(After shock, the motherboard can still perform ok for a while. I've seen it.)

Or sometimes, rarely the battery can cause it. I don't know why but, that's what I've heard from laptop manufactuers.
To find out, please, take out the battery and plug in AC power adapter and try it again.

I hope it helps you.

My qosmio toshiba model x505-q882 wont turn on when i try to press the power button i just got it by mail a few days ago so i don't understand what the problem may be.

If it isn't already, try plugging it in, it might have run out of battery power. Otherwise, you would have to remove the top shell of the computer (where the keyboard is housed) to get to your power button to make sure it's plugged into the motherboard properly, unless it's still under warranty, in which case, you could send it in and have them do it for you, so long as it wasn't the first problem. If it's not under warranty, and plugging it in won't work, just post a comment here, and I'll help you with making sure the power button is plugged in.

Reset button ?

Sometimes there is a reset button and sometimes you have to reset it through a menu. Of course, if it won't turn on, then you can't get to the menus.
