I have a psp1000 it was fine until is started powering down all by itself. i put a brand new battery in it and shortly after it powers up, it powers down. What do i do now, and would it be very expensive to have this fixed?

check power from battery to solenoid and the main power wire going to the fuse block... a good test light will help... oh, i suggest you unhook those new lights until you get the other issue resolved...

battery no good from factory bad battery connection maybe put together on a Monday or maybe battery internal charger no good

It is highly possible that battery is just dead. This also happened to me on my 97 Jeep Cherokee. I started it in the morning with no issue what so ever, then when i went to go start it again a short while later it was the same issue your having. I tried to jumpstart it and nothing. The clicking noise your hearing is from the starter itself which is perfectly normal when you have a dead battery. That is why your lights dim when you try to start it. It is because when your trying to turn over the starter your having a power drain from whatever is left in the almost dead battery but it doesn't have enough power to turn the starter. Also that is why when you tried to jumpstart it and it didn't work, the battery is just too dead to accept the charge passing through it. Replace the battery and all will be fine. A good name brand battery costs roughly $70-$100 depending on the brand of the battery. I personally have had nothing but good luck with Duralast and Interstate batteries. Good luck. Happy motoring.

I would get the battery first. But worst case you have a bad power connection on the board that needs to be resoldered or replaced.

Apparently, either the AC adapter isn't compatible (check the voltages and power ratings) or you have a battery charger issue. If you're sure the adapter is OK, then the battery might wrongly report a full charge at a higher voltage than the AC adapter.

So when the battery is plugged in, it will always preempt the AC adapter - possibly even shutting it down - except that, having almost no power left, it will also force the computer itself to shut down.

What might have happened is that the faulty AC adapter actually damaged the battery. I'd suggest checking with another battery if any is available, and not to use both together lest the battery now damage the new adapter. But first of all, check the power ratings and polarity on the adapter against the old one and whatever is indicated (usually) on the PC underside, just to be sure.

If it is working fine with a fresh battery then it is not a motherboard problem. It is either a bad ac adapter jack on the motherboard or the actual ac adapter cord is not working. Try cables2go.com as they have replacement ac adapters for almost everything under the sun. Hope this helps.

If you press the power button and nothing comes on at all then something isn't providing power to the laptop as it should and you may likely need to replace the battery or the power cord.

Find a replacement battery. Change your battery with a new one then plug it up and turn on to see if this works.

If replacing the battery doesn't work then replace the power cord and trying turning it on again. If this doesn't work either, you have a more serious issue going on.

Not too long ago, I was on vacation, my laptop had been working fine until suddenly it wouldn't come on at all. I went into the office to grab a new battery and power cord. (I work on computers so I had spare parts in my office/Tech Room.)

I got home and replaced the battery then tried to turn it on using the old power cord...didn't work. This was a brand new battery so now I knew that I could rule out the battery as the issue...the only two things left to troubleshoot were the power cord and the laptop itself.

I put my old battery back in the laptop then tried to turn it on using a different power cord and it worked. I didn't need to replace my battery or laptop. The power cord had failed.

I hope that your issue is as simple as this solution. Try confirming whether your battery and power cord are still working...you may just need to replace one or the other.

Thanks for using Fixya.

remove battery and check if is charged.
put back battery and connect power supply.
keep ON button pressed few seconds until it flashes.
if not started wait few second and try switching on normally.
if unsuccessfully check both power supply and battery with manufacturer

Take the camera inside and let it warm up to room temperature. Get another set of brand new batteries. But first take out the batteries and let it sit for an hour. Without any power it can reset itself. The mini cpu inside is thinking its too cold and won't let it come on. After the one hour of sitting, put the new batteries in it and try to power it up. Cold weather can kill a brand new set of batteries in a matter of minutes. You should try not using your camera when its below freezing.

S3765-040, power head would not run when the handle was elevated. Problem was with wiring from connecter plug on power head swivel into the power head itself, because of the design the wire tends to develop a short. Test it by turning on the vacuum, elevate the handle, then when it stops running move the visible part of the wiring with you foot/hand. If it starts/stops then you have a short. Replacement part was about $10.
