60CSX wont turn on

[+Kayak Kouple]

A friend of mine has a 60csx that he is having trouble with....When connected to puter & he turns it on all he gets is a white screen ...when he unplugs it he hears the beep but a dark screen....He has taken out batteries & made sure card is in correctly still nothing...He has also tried it without the card & still nothing....Any Ideas out there ...

 

thanks in advance

My instinct is that the usb cable is plugged into an unpowered hub which is at the limit of its power draw.

 

I'd try plugging it into a usb cable that's jacked into the PC directly or into a powered USB hub.

It was connected to the Puter correctly as the backlite worked....we also unplugged it from the puter & turned it on using only the batteries & you could hear the beep but the screen was dark

Sounds like the back light is turned all the way to dark.

Totally blank and won't turn on?

 

I had the same problem with my ex-wife.

 

I upgraded to a newer, more functional model.

I had a similar thing happen with 60CSX. Except I didn't even get a blank screen, rather the power switch or something in the circuit failed. So I would have to turn it on about 50 times before it came on.

Same thing with turning it off.

Ended up exchanging it for another 60csx.

I don't know if this will help, but I did find another article about a bricked 60CSx., and what the solution was to fix it.
