No power off, nothing functions...now no power on...Battery OK.

wow, full model number stated, what joy to have that. to work.
first off what is it.
it is LAPTOP
how old is it (this is always first) answer 2007, 11 years old now.
not new, not near new, a decade old, and lots of things fail on all PCs that old for sure laptops, are the worst of all things.
it came new with VISTA and a free XP down grade option from H3LL.
so XP is a horror like nothing else on earth if that is what you have
but is not the NOW problem but is NEXT.
So,
take out that DECADE old nasty big battery , snaps off in 1 second work flat.
run on AC power pack for now or FOR EVER.
OK
next is fans spin, at least one must spin and blow air or it overheats fast. (heard,felt or seen, can do, ok?)
next is ear to HDD side, (hatch open ear there)
here the hdd spin up turn on, sounds like ,micro sized jet engine. power on hear jet like sound (tiny)

does it? spin up, if not its dead or power is dead.

does the screen now show anything> test or logos of any kind?
it must, or the PC is dead.
The RTC coin cell can be bad inside after 7 years old.
this tiny cell if dead makes BIOS go nuts.
next is bios screens.
this PC has LED screen so is not bad to the bone CCFL. and the binking cursor shows its not dead.


so see how far you get with above serial tests.
one more, did you read your manual first. RTM
read what the BIOS hot key are?
and see if BIOS pages work
learn that the work even with HDD missing.
NO HDD< NO OS< BIOS works. great. (except recovery key, sure)




ok?

POSSIBLE SOLUTION..

I just bought this camera for my daughter and after first inital picture after setting up camera, it also wouldnt snap a pix. It auto focused fine but wouldnt snap the pix.
I tried calling the GE digital camera support line but kept saying office was closed..and there is no online support for this particular model. The C1433 shares the same owners manual if you do a web search. I think Z4300 was meant for sale in UK because most reviews are UK based.
So after I gave up trying to contact GE , tried changing different settings, replacing battery, etc... finally I just RESET the phone to default settings and WHELLA... it worked. At least for now anyway.
Maybe there was a setting somewhere that was turned on accidently. Personally, I think the Menus and Submenus are a bit confusing.
So ...since I believe others are probably going to run across this issue, I thought I would share my experience.

First thing to do is test (and then almost certainly replace) your ten-year-old logic board battery. If the battery is dead, the power button won't function.

Unless it has recently been dropped or the screen cracked, the LCD power drive circuit has failed. Your batteries sound OK if it is taking pictures. 2 and a half years is not an unreasonable life for this camera. I would spend my money and time working toward a new one rather than repairs. Sometimes you can find one on Ebay for parts and may be worth a purchase but don't waste anything on a factory repair. Taking them apart and replacing components is not that difficult and procedures can be obtained online from digital camera REPAIR FORUMS.

This is most likely an issue the the mainboard.
The mainboard and ram are not considered user replaceable parts on this model, however if the unit is less than a year old then you can contact Acer support for repair.
Acer's number is 800-816-2237.
This process usually takes 10 business days and as of the last time I checked they do not cover shipping to the repair center.
This is annoying, but is the best option.

Ribbon strip busted or come out of it's socket on the board. But I'd say the ribbon is busted because it has to be folded back on it's self to fit in it's socket. And it's a common problem with this model. Cheapest option is a donor camera off ebay for parts

This can be a number for things. Believe it or not dust or cig smoke in LCD and pix tube projected TVs turns up looking a lot like focus error. Is the focus bad or do you have a convergence error (red, blue or green shading) Is there any smearing or blooming to the pix? The other comment for you is the TV is 9 years old I personally consider this very close to the life of the product. A simple good pix would tell volumns for someone like me (may need some resolution on the pix).

i have an exilim camera too the 7.2 pixle. And im having same problem the day before i took really clear pix and now its just all blurry ... everything else works fine .. i never droped it or wet it .. i view the old pics and there really clear why is my lense sooo blurry now? help

Before you conclude that my camera and battery are also misbehaving, I would point out that I have had the camera turned on a lot as I fiddled with focus, zoom, menu settings, more focus and zoom, etc, etc. There there is simply LCD viewing time to look at pictures I have taken, playing with in-camera editing features, more viewing, zooming in and out during review mode, etc, etc. Then there is downloading a few pictures at a time, which probably carries with it some USB overhead each time I connect and disconnect. So, in my opinion, I have not given the camera a fair trial of battery performance yet. Some day, I hope to go out and shoot at least a 256k memory card full of pictures before I have to recharge. Or maybe a few card's worth of photos to get that 400-600 shots per charge.

No I don't believe it is your shutter, more than likely it is a LCD Screen problem. I would suggest you take your camera back to the shop where you purchased the camera and have it serviced under warranty. I had a customer with an Optio 550 come in and it looked like every shot was taken through 'venetian blinds' and the problem was with the LCD Screen and the camera was sent back to Pentax and repaired under warranty.
