WRT54GS defective out of the box

I recently purchased a Linksys WRT54GS router. I set everything up according to instructions, but immediately encountered a problem. With the ethernet cable from the IP modem connected to the router the Internet light on the front of the unit does not light up and I do not have internet connection to the computer. I can unplug from the router the cable from the IP modem and plug it back into the computer and internet is restored. I have a power light and DMZ light. I plugged the cafrom the router to the computer into port 1 but it lights up for ports 1,3, and 4. There is no light on the Cisco Systems logo button, when I press this button nothing happens, no flashing light or anything.
It appears I have a bad router. Any suggestions

Is the power light on the router blinking?
Press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 30 seconds. Now power cycle the router and see if you get proper light on the router.
If the power light is still blinking then try to reset the router again.

Please help - Brand new X1 Carbon defective out of the box - is this normal? what should I do next?

Hello all,
So, as a loyal Lenovo customer I decided to purchase the X1 Carbon 2nd Gen (non-touch, I5 version).
Last week I finally received it.
Unfortunately, the first thing I noticed was a defective touchpad - very loose, the right bottom corner was not solid
enough and made a weird noise while clicking it. It drove me crazy since I am used to the top build quality the Thinkpad series offers.
I took to the local Lenovo service center, they actually replaced it on the spot and it made it better, not great but better. I still think there is something wrong there, since the bottom two "buttons" don't feet and sound as good as the upper ones.
But that I can tolarate.
The thing that really pissed me off was this: To me demise, after using the laptop in a dark room I noticed this massive screen bleed :
(apologize for the ling stream of pics, didn't know how to thumbnail them)
My question to you guys, is this okay? is this an acceptable bleed? or should I do whatever it takes to get it repaired/replaced?
I just hope they will know how to handle this here at local center, as from my experience dealing with computer reps here, the local Lenovo agent (which is actually the importer) will not replace it for me (their excuse is that it wasn't bought in this country)
This is amazing, in one year Lenovo has lost it's entire reputation over the 2nd Gen X1 carbon.
Please help me. what should I do?
Thank you very much.

HP Pavillion Does NOT work Straight Out of the Box after Purchase

My daughter bought a new HP Pavillion from Office Depot before starting computer classes at the university. The first one would not work at all and after the tech folks tried all that they could and it would not work, the Office Depot staff exchanged it for another one. Straight out of the box, it does not work. It crashes constantly. My daughter has spent HOURS that she needs for assignments on the phone with HP tech support. Here is where she stands with the situation now: She bought the extended warranty, but apparently that does not cover computers that don't work. The HP warranty....does not apparently assure that you get a working computer either, even when it's just days old and won't function. So....after spending from about 1p to nearly 6p today on the phone with HP tech support, she is not assured that it will work.
They are calling back on Friday to see.
So if it is NOT working, are we just out of luck with a piece of junk that does not function except as a word processor? That won't connect to the internet without crashing? We have been given no options or assurances.
( Post edited by Moderator) When you buy a computer, it should work when it's brand new. If you have a warranty, does that mean that HP stands behind their product and refund the consumer's money when it doesn't? The new HP Envy printer did not work, due to a defective ink cartridge enclosed with it. Does any HP product work at all?

@Mariellynne
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post ( serial numbers and case details).
If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.

Is the iPod video supposed to suck out of the box?

I just purchased a brand new 30 GB iPod video and it's awful right out of the box. Everytime I start it up for some reason I get that Apple restart screen but nothing is restarted. When I click on a song under and album it takes 30 seconds to a minute for music to even start and when it does it's two or three songs later than what I actually clicked on. It's also incredibly slow switching songs and menus, especially songs.
I heard the iPod videos can just be like this and many are. Is this true? If so, back to the drawing board, Apple.
Also, is anyone else upset it doesnt support firewire?

I read it now supports firewire but i don't believe it. Well I got a new a 30 Gig Video Ipod too and it works like a charm, you probaly got a defected model, it happens, and if you have a warranty get it replaced because even the limited warranty from apple will take it back if its defected (just don't say you dropped it even if you did).

HP 4510 Prints Skew/Slant out of the box on 2 different printers

I have purchased and returned (2) 4510tn laser printers that prints skewed/slanted (very minor) right out of the box. Have worked with HP support to find a solution but they don't even acknowledgement that the problems exist. I believe this is a defect across the entire line since the same thing happened with two brand new printers. Has anyone out there experience the same problem?

Hi Chris,
This sounds interesting.
My first thoughts is that you have some sort of printer class configured, although this works as a load balancer for print jobs, it is not supposed to split a single job amongst the printers in the pool. Anyway, to check if this is set, you can open the Printer Setup Utility and look at the printer list. In the King column, you will see Printer Pool.
Another thought is network addressing. If you are using TCP/IP to connect to these printers, any chance there could be an IP address duplication?
Also, are the Mac's connected directly via IP to these printers or are they connecting via a share from a print server?

X4100 LOM problems out of the box

Straight out of the box I am having trouble connecting to lom. Using a serial cable I can connect and see the lom service start after power is connected, when the login line appears i loose control of the session. Any ideas? I don't know what the IP address is set to so I can't setup via browser.

Well, I took my 16GB iPhone 3g (white) back to the Apple Store today and the Genius looked it over -- said that's the first keyboard problem he's seen come in and mentioned that it was strange the "dead zone" on the touch screen was vertical since, according to him, most "dead zones" tend to be horizontal areas. He said the touch screen matrix is laid out in three horizontal bands on the screens.
Bottom line: he gave me a new working iPhone 3g.
He did mention that all returned iPhone 3g's are being sent directly back to the iPhone 3g engineering team for full "autopsies", not just sent back to factory for refurb. He said they want to fully diagnose and understand what defects are out there so as to solve the root cause moving forward.

K430-31092SU new out of the box has no audio.

K430-31092SU new out of the box has no audio. The real ports for audio (green port on back) headphones and microphone (black and pink ports front or back) when a device is plugged in it does not pop up on the task bar. Under the Manage Audio Devices > Sounds, the level meter indicates sound is playing but nothing comes through the speakers or headphones. The video graphics card is connected to a ViewSonic 1080P LED monitor with built in speakers via the HDMI cable. Sound comes through the monitor speakers when selected but cannot get any sound from the green audio port internal to the motherboard. Tried unplugging the HDMI cable connected the VGA, same results, no sound from the speakers.
Tech support remotes in and does everything I have already done with settings and drivers so they determine that the motherboard has a hardware failure and the machine will have to be returned. The tech was very easy to communicate with and I was given a case number to talk to the After Purchase Department and they say it will take 4-5 business days for them to contact me to start the process of returning the PC. WHAT? Start the process!
Every third day I have called Lenovo and every time they say it will be 4-5 days for someone to contact me. The last time I called they told me someone would call that day. Needless to say I have not heard from anyone.
Will reply later as to when I get instructions on returning the defective K430 and get a replacement. The Lenovo experience so far has been extremely disappointing.
iDave

I always wanted a lenovo and got one couple years ago and was very disappointed at their battery. For a netbook they wanted 178 bucks - still do. They are looking heavily to their bottom line in my mind. I bought a desktop shortly after and had pains plus but it wasn't all their fault. I just bought an all in one and it will definitely be the last unless I seem them turn around soon. This board is full of people with problems and no solutions.
Mine, the touch screen is incompatible with windows 8 yet lenovo was pushing upgrading to windows 8. Not wise in my mind but that is the way they are functioning right now. I called about another problem and was told three times someone would call within the day - never happened.
I must say the older two are great machines after I got them running smoothly though little to no help from lenovo.

Brand New 30g Video Ipod...dead right out of the box

So I take my new ipod out of the box and it wont turn on. I plug it up to the outlet charger and the screen lights up but says nothing and does nothing. It makes a little humming noise and gets very very hot also. Plugging it up to computer hasn't helped, it doesn't even light up with it. Anyone have any ideas?

Welcome to Discussions!
Have you tried resetting the iPod by holding the Menu and Center buttons?
If that doesn't change anything, it sounds like you received a defective iPod.
You can 1) return it to the store or 2)fill out a service request here: http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod

IPod Shuffle (2nd Gen) not lighting up out of the box even afr 2hrs of chrg

Can somebody tell me what is going on here? This is the second shuffle that (I brought back the first one to circuit city) I can't get to work out of the box. That is, after charging for 2 hrs (I've tried to charge via my outlet as well) I can't get any lights to show up.
What gives?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

So far, you hadn't really described what you were >doing...
is the "wall charger" an Apple iPod USB Power >Adapter? >Does the Shuffle's LED show continuous orange >while in >the dock?
Plugging in the dock to my outlet per the apple ipod usb power adapter. Looked at the light immediately and no orange or any lights what so ever. So, I figured it needed to be charged, Apple specs say 2 hrs for 80% charge, 4 hours for full. I left the thing on there all night long when I went to bed. Got up. Checked the shuffle and no lights.
Question: is the (oranage) light supposed to come on immediatly after it's plugged in?
The fact that this is your 2nd one is interesting.
Apple specs claim 4 hours to fully charge the Shuffle but >that's optimistic... many here have experienced much >longer charging time
This is pretty assembly IMHO as this si pretty frustrating regarless if it's operator error or a another defective unit.
Any more information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for your response.

IPod broken out of the box - Apple Store calls me a liar

I purchased a 5G iPod a couple of days ago, and when I opened it, there was what appears to be a hairline fracture in the LCD (not on the outside of the screen, but on the inside), which caused the margins of the crack to be black and squiggly.
When I took this to my local Apple Store (Austin, Barton Creek Mall), the employees took turns, in increasing rank, calling me a liar. The accusation was made in the sissy, evasive tones that store managers take, but what it boiled down to was a refusal to exchange my device because he insisted that what I was telling him (that it was like that out of the box) was not true. I was treated with such polite distain and condescension that I left the store with a vow not to purchase any more Mac products there... ever. Not a mild conviction either, as I run a small business and tend to purchase $5 - $7k worth of Mac products annually.
I discussed the issue with a physics fanatic whom I am acquainted with, and he seemed to be under the conviction that a flat plane of a fragile substance, no matter how well protected in the device or the box, would crack if dropped far enough and at a certain angle. He said the conditions necessary to crack it that way would be fairly rare - thus explaining why the issue had never presented itself to the fussy store manager - but not so rare as to be unplausible or incredible.
What I was most disturbed by, however, was that the store was more willing to risk screwing me out of $300 than they were to risk eating the replacement. I had assumed that the store would err on the side of taking care of the customer, but was very sorely mistaken.
However, now I'm just ranting. My topic for discussion is this: Has anybody else experienced this? A defect out of box that was rejected as your own abuse of the iPod, or a screen cracked against odds?

Hello Jeremy.
Sorry to hear you had this experience at the Apple Store but I would contact AppleCare and as hard as it may be for you, I would refrain from ranting about the Apple Austin Store when doing so explaining this fracture was present when the iPod was first opened.
Apple will send you a shipping box and return label. When returned, Apple will run a test on the iPod to determine if the crack was caused by abuse. Obviously this screen fracture was caused during shipment or was present before being packaged that went unnoticed but I don't see you have any other option at this point.
Or you can use the iPod service request form.

My new ipad just out of the box will not power on. What's the deal?

I just purchased my new ipad2 a few hours ago. Right out of the box it will not power on. Tried to sync in case that would help but it didn't. I can't imagine what the problem would be. At the Apple store they said it should be charged and ready to go.

Thanks but it must be defective because that didn't work. Trying to sync it didn't work nor did trying to charge it. Guess it's another trip to the Applie store tomorrow.

Is the latest update to the 6th gen nano a software download or does it come with the new watch faces and larger icons out of the box

Apple shows the new 6th gen nano with the new selection of watch faces and lager icons etc as per new update, but stores still have the 6th gen nano with just 3 watch faces and smaller icons etc. Is the newer spec just a software update that i do after purchase or does it come updated out of the box?
Thx

It should come out of the box with the new 1.2 update, but if it doesn't you can simply connect it to iTunes, download, and install the update from there.

Help Please - on a VC that works out of the box with MAC before I sellup

I have to declare that I’m somewhat frustrated at the moment and I could do with some good advise please bare with me while I explain.
I have recently converted from all types of PC systems and MS OS to Apple. The conversion was based on a few drivers.
1, My wife finally has decided to “learn” how to do her own web work instead of asking me to look up this or that for her. So as she was starting from scratch I thought MAC.
2, At the same time I had a play with Vista at work and disliked it. I was using XP & W2K at the time.
3, I wanted to update my home hardware, which was 3 years old.
4, The accountant said I hadn’t spent enough on IT last year.
5, New project work in the planning that required video/audio work to upload onto the web and everyone said MAC was the best.
So having looked around and done what I thought was enough research I started investing. To date I’ve invested £4500 plus.
Started by buying
iMAC 24” 2.8 Gz Intel with 4GB ram (for the home office)
MacBook Pro 2.4 with 4GB ram (for out and about working)
iPHONE 16GB (which is great)
VMware Fusion was installed for those things that I couldn’t live without until I found a suitable replacement like MS Money, Paint Shop Pro, MS Office etc. Installed XP.
Tried Open Office found it to clunky and hard work working off files for MS Office that others sent/required. Ended up buying Office 2008 only to find VB macros don’t work in Excel and all my company spreadsheets still need PC MS Excel to run so back into XP via Fusion.
Then to MAIL which is great on the iPHONE as I can easily monitor my 5 email accounts, what a result. But now I come to attach JPG files as I would in outlook and they open into the content of text in the mail and will not stay closed but disrupt the message. Wholly unacceptable to my way of working with no cure.
Scanning next, so I down loaded GIMP to replace PSP which I find useless so back to PSP I go again via XP & Fusion.
Next and finally the VC project, Now please bare in mind that all I want to do is shoot film, upload it to edit it and then mount it on the web page. I have no desire to become any form of expert in the field just get the job done.
So reviewed iMovie to understand the spec. Realise it has limitation and reviewed FCE which seems to plug the gaps and boarders on being more professional.
At this point I must say I’m not totally new to this subject as I have used Studio8 and a JVC GR-DVL166EK video cam a couple of years ago and got on ok without any issues simple plug and play with great results.
Having reviewed the standards that the software is reported to work too without any publicly declared exclusions or exceptions by Apple I went shopping for the VC. (I didn’t know of the forum at the time and to the best of my knowledge Apple don’t advise of its existence in any product information on anything I have bought.)
I buy a Panasonic HDC-HS9 for £700 which doesn’t flaming work despite the fact that it should based on all the standards quoted by both manufactures and there are no disclaimers from either party that it won’t work.
I have reviewed the compatibility list on the support page (now I know its there) and find that the Panasonic HDC-SD5 does work. I reviewed the comprehensive detailed model spec on the Panasonic web site and there is no differences between the to models at all accept the HDD.
So why don’t it work?
*At the end of the day can anyone please recommend a VC that will produce high quality results without the need of a 3rd party software to connect and upload files convert and muck about instead of getting on with the job.*
And if all the publicised specs don’t allow you to conclude compatibility how can you protect your investment? Where do we legally stand and where is the accountability to the consumer.
<edited by host>
I am that fed up with the last 3 months of mucking about Bill Gat*es may just get me back.
Thanking anyone in anticipation for some meaning advise and help.
Regards
Alan

Hi, and thanks for you interest. The problems is that whether I'm using iMovie or FCE I get to a stage where the thumbnail image is present but if you try to play, import or any other action in either app it closes down and a message comes up " The Application Final Cut Express/iMovie quit unexpectedly - Mac OS X and other application are not affected" then asks if I wish to relaunch. I then hit the report to Apple button and afterwards relaunch. I was recommended to use Voltaic which I have tried, it worked but is to much mucking about for something that should work out of the box.
This problem happens on both the iMAC and the MacBook so quite sure it's not a OS software issue. All software update are up to date also.
Any ideas?

Not able to start out of the box approval workflow programmatically

We have a requirement to start an out of the box workflow from a .NET web service.
We are using the StartWorfklow method:
wfManager.StartWorkflow(item, association, association.AssociationData
we are getting the below error message at the above line of code: Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.. Data: System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal
Then, we tried:
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
        wfManager.StartWorkflow(item, association, association.AssociationData,
SPWorkflowRunOptions.Synchronous);
Now, the workflow got canceled automatically with "Failed on Start" status. In the "Workflow History", it is showing 2 records with "was canceled by System Account." & "failed to start" in the description
column.
Please advise.

Hi Zhengyu,
1. I've already done that:
a) when "SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()"
is used, there are no errors showing up and code gets executed. However, the workflow failed to start.
b) When I don't use elevated privileges, the code is showing an error (Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.. Data: System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal) when
it tries to start the workflow (StartWorkflow method).
2. The workflow starts with no issues through UI. I tried it using "System Account" and another account.
3. I tried also "Collect Feedback" workflow template. Same results...
