3 Flash-LED - No boot, wait awhile - works, hangs - rinse/repeat

I am having 3 flashes of LED no boot issue here with my Mac at work. 3 flashing lights - I've changed out the ram with 3 different pairs (all known to be working) as well as tested each memory bank (in pairs). The funny thing is - after leaving it off overnight or for a length of time - it will boot and work for a while. Then it will hang/lock and rinse repeat with the no-boot 3 flashes of the LED. This is a Dual 2.0 G5 (currently w/ 2Gb Ram). This was/is a hand-me-down at my place of employment and i am rather New to the whole MAC scene so any help would be appreciated. Also, any ballpark figure on what an Authorized Apple dealer would charge for diagnosis would be helpful as well. Thanks in advance.

Hi TalkingsMAC-
Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards
Known to be working how? Are they from the same model G5?
Each subsequent OSX system upgrade tends to make a system pickier about the RAM that it will use.
Since it is winking at you, the first thing to do is get past the memory issue. Make sure it is installed correctly and in matched pairs: Power Mac G5: Memory Specifications and Requirements
This may be helpful: Memory (DIMMs) Replacement Instructions
As far as the charge why not call and ask?

  • Flashing LEDs No Boot Presario CQ40

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ40-107AU that will not boot. After pressing the power button, the fan starts running and nothing happens for several seconds. After approximately 20 seconds the LEDs above Scroll Lock and next to Caps Lock blink continously.
    I found explinations of the blink codes somewhere online and found that the code was supposed to mean low power from the power adapter. I purchased a new (non-OEM) adapter and have the same issue. I tried a hard reset (removed the battery, disconnected power adapter and held the power button) doing this did not resolve the issue.
    I am going to pop the case open tonight and verify all connections and visually inspect the solder and board where the power adapter mates to the notebook and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for me. I am unable to find this paticular model listed in any of the support areas on HP's support site.

    Hi, i just experience the same symptom (CQ40).  I tried to solve by myself by following the document, but it doesn't mention about continuous blinking at CapsLock & Num Lock.  I also check my output adapter voltage, no wrong about it (18.5V).  Memory card and hardisk drive also fit properly.  Then, i tried to reset my bios by take out the bios battery, still not help.  The pcb condition include pattern and components by visual check all ok, no sign of burn.  Is there any meaning for continuous blinking at CapsLock & NumLock?  Please help me... Thank you.

  • SG300-28P: System LED not on. everything else working.

    Hi Everyone,
    Nice to meet you all.
    I received an used SG300-28P today and immediately I found its System LED never lits. I upgraded the firmware to the latests but did not make any difference. So far I have configured the switch for my environment and everything is working fine including VLAN, L3 routing and PoE works on all ports.
    I am puzzled, not sure what's wrong with it. In the System Summary of the Web GUI it indicates the System LED is constantly on. But the physical one is just dead (never lits including boot)
    I hope its just the LED itself, the switch is definately out of warranty. What diagnostics can I run myself to understand it?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Hello Siming,
    If everything is working properly on the switch, then you shouldn't be worried about the system led. The system led itself is simply not working.
    This is the information you need to know about the system led:
    Off - If the system led is off, it means the switch is not powered on (which in your case is false, since you told us the switch is working as it should, so that means you have a faulty led)
    Green - If the system led is green, it means the switch working normally. If the system led is green and it flashes constantly, it means the switch is using the factory default IP address (192.168.1.254) to access to the switch. If it is solid green, it means that the switch has either an IP assigned via DHCP, or statically by the administrator.
    Amber - If the system led is amber, it means there is a problem with the switch
    As you can see, you won't be able to get information about the system led when is green or amber, since it is not working.
    I would suggest that you properly configure system logs on the switch, perform constantly backups to the running/startup configuration, and keep track of which IP address you are using to access the switch GUI/CLI, that way if you forget your IP address, or if there is a problem with the switch, you know where to find the correct information.
    Please let us know if you have further questions.

  • Flashing led

    Hey, i'm new to Labview and i have a problem to do... i'm finding a little problem in creating a flashing led :
    If you have chosen “flashing” from the switch, then the LED should light up for a time equal to the value of the “ON TIME” control and then the LED should turn off for a time equal to the value of the “OFF TIME” control.
    any help will be very much appreciated
    regards,

    is it possible to do it using a flat sequence containg the wait time ?
    Flat sequences are frowned upon as there's almost always a better way to solve sequencing problems with proper program flow.
    I think this part of your problem is to help you learn about shift registers and structures within structures.  These basic skill are required when you want to control a logical flow of events.
    I'm probably giving away too much here but look at the pic and try to figure out what is in the other cases that make this VI work.  Once you do, break it down into small steps or draw a flow chart and see how the labview structures mimic the decisions you have to make to cause the LED to flash as your requirements specify.
    Good Luck!

  • Another Dead iMac - Flashing LED!

    I have an iMac 700 which recently died. The display froze and upon reboot the screen would only show a faint raster - no chimes, no grey screen, just a faint repetitive buzzing noise. Most curious, though...the power button LED was flashing: 4 short flashes followed by a long flash (or vice versa). Anyone have any idea what my dying iMac was trying to tell me?

    Usually, a flashing LED pattern means bad memory. But not in this case, as your memory was fully working before the problem occurred.
    Typical problems that will cause this kind of symptoms, in order of things to try:
    1. Replace the mainboard battery and then reset PMMU and clear PRAM contents. See if this clear it up.
    2. Leave it unplugged overnight and see if you can get it to boot first thing in the morning.
    3. Follow the Apple troubleshooting guide and test for voltages, to ascertain whether it is a power supply problem.
    4. Repetitive buzzing noise and no video suggests it could be the iMac 'flyback transformer' problem. My understanding is that affects only the early (233-500 MHz) versions of the iMacs, but I could be wrong. Search the forum for more details about the flyback transformer problem, which is a monitor problem that I am told is expensive to fix.

  • Cloned volume gets stuck at boot "Waiting for Network File System"

    I've used "Carbon Copy Cloner" many times with success and no problems (v 2.3 , default settings, make destination bootable) as I migrated to larger drives or make backups in advance of a major OS upgrade.
    Last time I was successful, I was at OS 10.3.5. I use 3rd drive to boot my Mac, then clone the one non-boot drive to the other. I do the disk repairs & permission repairs as the normal course of this process, before & after. I am now at 10.3.9. I am do this clone in prep to go to 10.4 so I have a good back in the event of later problems.
    When I attempt to boot from the newly cloned partition, it goes fine on the boot process until it hangs at the "Waiting for Network File System" step and never gets past there. I've never had this happen before. I retired all the steps, even ran "Diskwarrier", but no change.
    I am not trying to run from a remote or network drive, just a 2nd drive in my
    G4 from which I have previously been able to boot (until this last clone attempt that is).
    I googled the symptoms ""Waiting for Network File System"", found it to be common, but no real answers. Is this one of those annoying UNIX things? Any ideas how to fix / turn-off whatever is hanging the boot up? Thanks in advance!

    Hi Kool,
    So there seems to be a "speed-bump" around 10.3.9. No wonder I have had the same results with a different tint. I went to Drive Genius to clone this one. Results with that were interesting.
    If I did a [Device] clone, it would take and show at start with 'option' key... and work just like my internal with 3 accounts on it... login and proceed like it was internal. If I did a [Volume] clone, it would not show up at start with the 'option' key... I'd have to boot it from System Preferences > Start-up Drive. Once booted, it had no login screen so all the files were accessible. I took the clone of this 3 account PB and tried it on an iBook. Had to boot from System Preferences too, also, all the account were accessible from that machine... implying that anyone who had that drive could get past/into my files that would be secure on my computer, but not on the clone. If I took the [Device] clone and booted from the ibook at start with the option key, it would not get past the login screen... altho the mouse worked and I could click on the name, that was as far as it got, Froze.
    So, I have figured, for safety, a [Device] clone is it, as long as the original computer lives. The safety features for login seem to be hardwired in the chip that the clone was made from (The iBook had 2 accounts but not my 3). If safety is not an issue, the [Volume] clone is fine... like moving to a newer OS on the same computer. It would seem from your experimentations that the situations with this 10.3.9 is just a hick-up and is solved in 10.4.3 with CCC v3...
    Thanks for your info... I am thinking of going to Tiger, but I am so fond of this Panther...

  • I have a Presario SR5450F. Recently, it is very slow to boot up. It hangs up on the Compaq screen

    I have a Presario SR5450F.  Recently, it is very slow to boot up.  It hangs up on the Compaq screen (Setup, Boot Menu, System Recovery, Diagnostics).  It hangs up on that screen for at least 10 minutes, which is unacceptable.  It just started doing this.  Can someone please help me?  Thanks.
    This question was solved.

    You're welcome goldcanyon1
    Glad I could help. Thanks for sharing your problem and what device was causing it for you. Sometimes having too many USB devices can cause problems. Your camera might work if only the mouse and keyboard are connected. It is worth a try if you need to get photos from it. I have seen even on my custom built PC occasional "odd" issues that can arise from having a variety of different USB devices connected.
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" to those that help solve your problems.

  • [SOLVED] Random kernel panics during boot (Waiting for UDev uevents..)

    Update 2012-03-31: Workaround confirmed to work, see tenthirteen's post.
    Update 2012-02-03: I've narrowed down the problem to the 3.x kernels. Downgrading to kernel26-2.6.38.5-1, with the other packages up-to-date (using nouveau instead of nvidia driver), solves the problem. Still, I still consider this a problem since it forces me to use an older kernel, so if anyone has any idea how to find the problem I would be very thankful!
    When I came back home after the summer vacations I did a huge upgrade with pacman -Syu (of course I read the announcements before). This included linux (3.0.3-1) from kernel26 (2.6.38.5-1) and udev (167-2 -> 173-3). After this point, the boot process randomly fails from time to time; today I had to restart more than 20 times before my machine would boot successfully.
    It always occurs during "Waiting for UDev uvents to be processed". Some of the errors are:
    1. The computer freezes when the message is shown (cursor stops to blink).
    2. Nothing happens for a long time, then Waiting for UDev uvents to be processed [ FAIL ]s.
    3. Short and long error messages that look similar to this guy's (except for the last line).
    I greped for some of the error messages in /var/log but they don't seem to be logged, so the examples below are from my handwritten notes and thus not very complete (there are a lot of other error messages except these lines). It's also possible that there are some mistakes. Note that they're from different boots.
    BUG: Soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 23 s! [modprobe:256]
    BUG: Unable to handle kernel
    --[End ...]--
    note: udevd[225] exited with preempt_count 2
    Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: c0147299
    BUG: Unable to handle kernel paging request at f8d20076
    Code: Bad EIP value.
    EIP: ...
    CRZ: ...
    --[End ...]--
    Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!

    WARNING: at kernel/watchdog.c:240 watchdog-overflow-callback+0xac/...
    BUG: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000286
    BUG: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
    These errors are seemingly arbitrary which makes it very hard to find the problem. Sometimes it works without a single complaint, sometimes it says something about "No caching mode page present, Assuming drive cache: write through", and sometimes I get different errors (the examples above are only from today!). As you can imagine, it gets pretty annoying.
    So far I've tried to:
    * Use the fallback mode - nope.
    * Rerun mkinitcpio -p linux - nope.
    * Append noapic and nomodeset to the kernel in GRUB - nope.
    * Install and try kernel26-lts - seems to work, although I don't understand what other differences there are (e.g., it doesn't start X). At least this seems to suggest that it's not a hardware problem.
    * Unplug all USB devices before boot - sometimes works, sometimes not. Doesn't seem to be a direct connection.
    * Remove my custom settings in /etc/modprobe.d - nope.
    * A lot of other things I've forgotten.
    Edit: I forgot to mention, once it's booted, the system works perfectly fine. No kernel panics etc. That's the second reason why I suspect it's not a hardware failure.
    I've been thinking about trying to downgrade the kernel and udev, but with the renaming and all dependencies I'm not sure how to do that.
    Since I've run out of ideas how to troubleshoot this issue, I would appreciate if I could get some suggestions here. I've search around and found similar posts but no solution that works for me.

    I've temporarily fixed the problem by doing the following:

    removed linux (3.0.6-2)

    I also restored my old /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, /etc/inittab and /etc/rc.conf.
    I'm still interested in a solution to the original problem. Is it a problem with my configuration, the new kernel, the udev version or something else?
    The difference in inittab is just a -s option and the mkinitcpio.conf files are the same except for some comments. rc.conf has the biggest changes and is now (removed comments):

  • My iTunes v.10.6.3.25 is intermittently refusing to open. Sometimes re-booting my laptop works, sometimes not. I just put the computer to sleep, and when I woke it up, iTunes started automatically. Any thoughts?

    My iTunes v.10.6.3.25 is intermittently refusing to open. Sometimes re-booting my laptop works, sometimes not. I just put the computer to sleep, and when I woke it up, iTunes started automatically (I had been trying to open it just before by clicking on a song file in my Documents window, and that's the song that started playing when the pc woke up). I went to my iTunes Help and clicked Updates/download iTunes 10.7 twice, but got nothing. Now, Im wondering if I should downloacd the entire 10.7, or whether that would overwrite all my files, erasing my songs. Anybody know? Thanks.

    Hey thanks for replying.
    Here's what I did:
    First I tried the Winsock reset in the Command prompt. Nothing changed.
    Next, I tried the instructions on http://http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123. The only other program that came up on the 'Winsock Providers' tab on the program was 2 Windows Live applications, which I can do without. So I deleted all Windows Live Applications.
    I did the Winsock reset in the Command Prompt again and rebooted my comp.
    Unfortunately, nothing has changed. iTunes keeps freezing at various stages of the sync, then shows the candy cane-striped bar with either the words 'Finishing sync' or 'Cancelling sync', before showing the Apple logo.
    Sometimes, iTunes gets to the syncing stage - "Copying # of ####" - where it will trudge through the first, second and third tracks before flashing "Copying 4 of ####" for a split second and I catch "Cancelling sync" briefly before the Apple logo appears.
    Again, I've repeated the steps I mentioned in my previous post. Does ANYONE know when the new version of iTunes is set to be released?! This one is driving me INSANE, to say the least!!

  • P55M GD45 experience; only 1.1 bios works, forum usb key boot didn't work, Win 7

    My experience. Got board w/ 1.1 BIOS installed, installed Win 7 64-bit. Used LiveUpdate to flash BIOS to 1.5.
    Then box froze at "Starting Windows" screen. However it would boot ok to Safe Mode, and also Safe Mode with Networking. It wouldn't boot to Knoppix, Ubuntu LiveCD, ... (In Windows 7, I spent hours trying stuff, did boot logging, turned off startup services, piles of stuff, but didn't seem to be getting anywhere...)
    Tried using the Forum USB Key boot for BIOS flashing. Couldn't get it to boot, just got black blank screen with cursor. (Could this be because board doesn't support 98/ME?)
    Finally figured out the M-Flash option, and tried 1.4, which gave same results as 1.5. Then went back to 1.1 and that got my Win 7 booting again ok. Then tried 1.2 and that gave same result as 1.4/1.5 (screen freezing), so went back to 1.1.
    Later tested out HP USB key booter and that worked for me, though I didn't end up using it for anything, since I went with the M-Flash.
    I was hoping that this new board would help me have better eSATA (hot-swappable/recognizable), than my previous setup but it's actually worse. With my old setup, I could plug in an eSATA drive, then Add Hardware, and the drive would be recognized by Win (XP). With this new setup, eSATA drives only get recognized if I have them connected and on before I boot up my box. Not good. Also, the BIOS has a tendency to prioritize the eSATA's before the regular SATA's in boot order, which seems weird.
    Anyone else have any experiences like this? Any suggestions on moving towards a BIOS upgrade and more eSATA functionality (ideally without spending another 12 hours on it )
    Thanks for reading and in advance for any suggestions!!

    No problem with the last bios 1.1.
    !!!!! Totaly unstable with the last bios 1.5 !!!
    I read your solution about reinstalling the OS after a bios update (that's the first
    time that I read it and I owned something as 15 motherboards in the last 10 years...but
    you have 20k post so I think that you know what you write...)
    So I tried to REINSTALL after "upgrade" of the firmware 1.5 of the MSI P55M-GD45.
    I did it with a USB KEY....not [email protected] with defaults values !
    The only thing to do is downgrade the bios in 1.1 and now no problem @ 3.8 GHz !!!
    WHY IS THIS BIOS SO unstable ?
    What will MSI do ?
    I have never had a so unstable motherboard after a bios upgrade !

  • Do Flash Player runtime and AIR runtime work differently?

    This question is asked as a follow up from a recent discussion, http://forums.adobe.com/message/6260447#6260447, regarding how getObjectsUnderPoint() works. The discussion was marked as correct as the answer provided by kglad was correct for the question asked.
    But, the problem that led to that thread was not solved, as from the tests done, the issue was not from the method but from the runtimes. With the sample code given by kglad, the compiled swf file was working as intended by kglad. But the same code was not if compiled and packaged to AIR runtime.
    Thus the question, do Flash Player runtime and AIR runtime work differently? Or again, that I simply missed out something?
    *Edit: Anyone with similiar experience?

    I'm also using Safari 6.0.1 and I don't have this problem, so I doubt Safari's causing the problem.
    Have you tried uninstalling flash completely and then reinstall? If you haven't, here's Adobe's instructions on how to do so: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
    Once you've uninstalled it, try redownloading and reinstalling again: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

    my imac (intel core i5, OS 10.10.1) shuts down every night and will not "wake up" next morning -- it never used to do that -- if I hold down the start button more than twice for many seconds, then it will finally boot up and works fine all day – I’ve tried shutting it down and unplugging it, and that does not work -- I’ve run disk utilities checked permissions, and run anti-virus and get no adverse results – I cannot figure out what is different that causes this problem

    From previous experience 3 indicates a shutdown initiated by the SMC (System Management Controller) — hardware responsible for many low-level functions including power, sleep, lights, and fan activity.
    Try resetting it:
    Power or other problems related to unexpected system sleep, shutdown, lights or fans call for an SMC reset. Read all the steps.
    Before Resetting the SMC
    Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
    Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
    Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
    Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
    Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
    Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.

    Hello, sadly Apple no longer works on G5s, nor has any parts, you might find an independant AASP that might in your area.
    If you're sure the RAM is good, try the Hair Dryer trick...

  • Pavilion dv4-1275mx notebook - once-flashing leds @ caps lock and scroll keys @ start-up

    My HP Pavilion dv4-1275mx notebook runs Windows Vista Home Premium service pack 1 for 64x-based systems.  
    Recently, when I turn it on, the led lights @ the caps lock and scroll keys repeatedly flash once.
    I'm not sure what, if anything, happened prior to this starting.  It's possible that there was a power surge when it was shut off, or it may be related to doing a McAfee virus scan or installing the latest version of a software, e.g., Adobe Reader.
    I was able to use my System Recovery disks to reinstall the Vista software, thinking this might "kickstart" my computer into working, e.g., as part of the restart process.  After the reinstallation, I was able to use my computer, although the led lights continued to flash.  However, once I shut down my computer, I have been unable to restart it.  The leds continue to flash upon start-up, and I have not been successful in again reinstalling the Vista software.  (I thought if could get my computer to work again that way, it might stay accessible if I used hiberate mode instead of shutting it down.)
    The computer's about 4-1/2 years old.  The screen has a short of some kind (only turning on when the screen is low to the keyboard, so I use an external monitor.

  • Which consumes iPhone 5's battery faster? Using text tone or not but using the flash led notication alert?

    Which consumes iPhone 5's battery faster? Using:
    1. text tone
    2. no text tone but using the flash led notication alert
    Please reply.

    Sounds to me that there is a process stuck and that is what is causing your battery issues. You say that you have restored to factory settings twice in the last 6 weeks. Were those restores from a backup, or a restore as new? If you restored to a backup and the issues are still there, then there is something wrong in your backup. Try restoring the device as new and not add anything to it right away and see if that improves the battery life.
    I have a 5S with a push account for work and am dealing with email constantly during the day. I use my phone for upwards of 16-18 hours of the day, including web browsing, iMessages and phone calls. My battery is usually around 65-70 percent at the end of the day, which is only about 2-3% per hour of usage.
    The echo deal is a carrier issue, and can depend on towers. I've seen it in the past, but it generally doesn't last long and corrects itself. The voicemail password might require you to contact AT&T to get them to reset your password. If you updated the software on the phone, it can sometimes require that reset. Are you still receiving your voicemail?
    The Yahoo thing is Yahoo. I'm certainly glad I don't use if for all the stuff I've read.
