Me and my little bro took apart a Blackberry 8100 because the keys 2 and 5 stopped responding unless you try really hard to. Then the button "might" respond.
Here's the reference. http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/8100_Disassembly

Computer does not boot to POST screen
Computer in the living room was left on the whole night, so my cousin asked me to fix it. Checked and the computer would not POST after booting.
Computer does not boot to POST, blank screen after pressing the ON button.
Assuming that all the connections are correct on your computer (such as the VGA montitor is plugged into the VGA), this is something that you would usually take up with your computer manufacturer, not Microsoft nor Apple or all the people that helped develop the software on your computer. Worst thing that could happen is that you would need a new part on your computer for the repair.
There are SO many solutions for this because there are SO many reasons why this is happening. Too many. What I did though was get the box, removed the little circle battery from the motherboard, waited, removed the stick of memory that I added a long time to the computer (since there was 2 before I added 1), then waited some more. While I waited, I looked for the reset bios settings on the motherboard (sometimes there are a couple needles that say RESET where you would put a little plug.) I couldn't find those, so I put the battery back, and retested the cpu... works OK.
I reboot the CPU and BIOS info has been reset. -christen25

X360: Jasper Freezing
I posted yesterday that my Jasper 360 freezes in the middle of gameplay on versus computer or on xbl. I played and finished Halo 3 on Easy for 6 hours straight, and my Xbox didn't freeze at all except during the following sequences:
1. Cortana visons
2. Checkpoint saving
Number 2 seems normal because, as with a computer, sometimes the amount of data that hasto be saved and loading is a lot for the cpu to handle, so there's the general pause and waitwhile the system updates everything. Perfectly understandable LAG but something that can be done without.
Number 1 is a bit confusing because of the following: system pauses for a sec while cortana's vision loads on screen. Maybe this would be faster if I had Halo 3 on a HDD, or is this because of the graphics. I heard of games freezing because they are too graphic intensive like NBA Live 09.
Then again 6 hours playing Halo 3 and everything is fine.

Xbox 360 Jasper freezing
I get random freezing from a 2 month old Xbox 360 JASPER. I bought the unit used (1 month old) and have been testing and playing the past 2.5 weeks.
Unit: Microsoft Xbox 360 Jasper. MFG 3-25-09. 110V. No cooling or case modifications.
Usage: 1.5 months used. Have used the unit for 7 hours straight no prob.
Good news: I've been able to use the unit and fortunately I don't get a Red Ring of Death - even after a power spike.
Bad news: Occasional Screen Freezing. System becomes unresponsive. While offline play, online play, Xbox Dashboard.
What happens during a freeze: Everything stops moving on screen. Sometimes the screen darkens a bit. The controller also stays lit and the unit become unresponsive. After pressing the ON/OFF button twice, unit restarts and plays fine for at least 2 more hours.
In random areas in some games, the unit freezes, mostly during playing NBA Live 09. This may have occurred in other games as well (I don't remember), but I've only noticed this a lot in NBA Live 09, maybe because I've been playing the game so much. This has also occurred while on Xbox Live and while playing Versus against the computer.
This has happened just now after playing for 4 hours straight without shutting down the Xbox. Last night I was playing 7 hours straight before the freeze happened while playing on Xbox Live. I also played 3 hours straight, unit froze, so I go, off then on restart, then continued on for maybe 2 more hours till I just turned off the unit.
The last time this has happened during Xbox Dashboard was once, and a long time ago that I don't remember what happened. I have played AND completed other games without this occurring (50 cent: Blood in the Sand, 5-6 hours).
Possible reason: Due to the history of the Xbox 360, overheating may be a cause. There has also been a history of NBA Live 09 being so graphic intensive that the Playstation 2 could barely handle the game that the system would not get past the loading screen.
Just when I was beginning to enjoy myself. Hopefully Microsoft didn't mess up again.
