5d MkIII red lights in viewfinder on when screen is on

This problem seemed to be random, but now it's constant. Whenever the screen is on, the viewfinder glows red. If I remove ther lens I can see that all the RED LED's in the viefinder are illuminated. Screen off - no LED's. This makes it impossible to shoot if the screen is on, say displaying settings, etc. It also makes long exposures impossible if the screen is illininated |(level, etc.) NOT just the focus points. It's a very bright, red glow. If the lens is off, I can actuially read by the glow of the red light.
I have seen more and more people asking about this in various places (Flickr, camera groups, etc.) and nobody seems to know.
Here's an image from the web - this happens every time the screen is on. Shooting video, viewing images, looking at the menu - any time.
I have reset the camera. Tried differenent lenses and no lens. If you search the web it's a fairly common problem. I have changed all the AF settings. You name it. Nothing seems to work. Removed the batteries. No help there. The only soultions I have seen on the web are "I have to return the camera...."

In that case send it in to Canon or join CPS if you are unable to return it to the store.

Red light on memory-card when going in and out of sleep

Each time when my M,P, goes from and into the sleepmode, a little light flickers for a second from one or both of my memorycards...At the same time I hear an electrical click...
Is this normal??
Of course one has to open the side panel to see this happen..
Also when booting up, I hear the motor winding up up like a vacumecleaner, but then the sound gets soft : Normal??
Thanks

Hi,talked with an apple technician who told me the leds on memory boards lighting up is normal , when going in and out of sleep and also with booting up and shutting down...
The leds lighting up are marked as: Q3A1, Q3A2, Q3A3 and Q3A4, situated right of middle on memory board..This lighting up is accompanied by a click..and a winding down or winding up sound of a motor...
Your machine has this as well??

Red Light with Authorization Object in PFCG

Hello All - I have a question with authorization objects, there are three roles with red lights 'ON' in authorization object screen in our PRD. However users who are using these roles have no auth issues, standard procedure is to make all lights green in PFCG by maintaining these auth objects.
Big question is "what is the down fall by leaving these objects RED, I need to support my theory when I say all lights green with auth objects.
Why best practise says maintain all lights to green?
Please suggest, appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks.

Hi,
> "What will be the difference between leaving that red lights 'ON' vs "disabling" these red objects? (I am bit confused on this).
Red Object: As you know that authorization Objects comprises of Authorization fields. There are certain fields, which are known as "Organization Level" fields and need to be maintained Centrally. If you miss this fields, then the traffic light icon is RED. For all other authorization fields, light will be Yellow if you miss any blank field to maintain. During check, these fields will provide missing authorization (but you may not get error if same object is present in the role with all fields maintained status).
Disabled Object: If you make any Object Disable, then during check, this Object will not be treated for checking Authorizations. But profile generator will keep this in mind, so you don't get Standard Objects repeatedly (if already present in Deactivated status also) whenever you go to "..Merge with New Data".
You all other questions are very nicely answered already.
Regards,
Dipanjan

Blackberry 8220 Flip phone gives red light, then shows clock and repeats...... forever....!

Hi I have a blackberry pearl 8220 flip that's bricked. It goes from a long red light to the clock loading screen and continues until by battery is dead.
I have tried reloading the current OS available (v4.6.0.174) through the latest blackberry desktop manager several times, and I did select the options to completely wipe all data on the pearl. I got the desktop manager to detect the phone by taking out the battery at first, and then putting it in. The reload worked properly, everything got wiped off and the os was reinstalled. It worked for a couple of hours, but the problem pops up again. I've even tried reloading an older os (4.5) but it doesn't work either.
Please help...

Hmmm...OK, then you might need to completely wipe it out first and then reload the OS...see this:

If that fails, then you are probably ready for warranty support -- from your carrier.
Good luck!

Torch 9800 Not turning on/red light blinking

I have Torch 9800 that won't turn on.
I've seen a few other posts on here and it seems this is a common issue, I've tried a few of the fixes suggested but no luck so far.
My 9800 has the latest version of BB OS available (unless there was one released within the last 4 days)
The red light only comes on when charged and goes on and off. When plugged into my PC it disconnects from the PC and then reconnects. Sometimes the charging battery symbol comes on and the blackberry loading screen after but the blackberry loading screen shuts off.
I have tried a new battery and that is not the issue.
I read that you can do an OS reload but my BB is not showing as connected under my connections (the noise indicates a device has been plugged in)
I'm at the end of my rope and need to know what to do !

Try following the steps here to reload the software on the device:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Device-software-for-BlackBerry/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-S...
Unfortunately you won't be able to backup the data on your device, but if you had BlackBerry Protect installed, you should be able to get most of your data back.
If you have any problems getting it to connect to the Loader.exe file in Step 2, unplug your phone and remove the battery, then plug the phone back in, and as soon as your PIN shows up, select Next. Don't worry if you miss it, just unplug the phone, plug it back in and try again.
I hope this info helps!

Lumia 520 red light while making/receiving calls

I noticed there is a small red light blinking on top of screen just near the speaker, where you hear the voice while calling. This happens while making/receiving call, a small red light blinks/stays on near speaker.
Sometimes the light goes off when i press the lock button while making calls.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Joi7,
Welcome to the forum!
What you're seeing is the proximity sensor of the device. This will activate once you receive or make a call. The main purpose of the proximity sensor is to disable the screen whenever you put the phone near your ear. This is to prevent you from accidentally disconnecting the call. This also works just by covering the sensor using your hand or any object. This feature is available to all other Nokia touch screen devices. Hope this helps. Let us know if you have another concern.

Solid Red light...black screen, then white screen. No icons.....

Hi....
I have a 2 year-old BB Storm. I have the issue where there is a solid red light that stays on. Screen goes from black to white. The icons never appear anymore. I went to my local Verizon, and they suggested getting a new phone, as they could tell it was a software issue. One technician suggested, before buying a new phone, to try downloading the software from the BB site because sometimes it's been known to push through or flush out the software issue.
My question is, which operating system should I download? I can't go into the device to find out what version I currently have.
I have pictures on this BB. I already lost pictures when I went from my old phone to my BB. I'll be crushed if I lose the remainder.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.
Today, I will commit one random act of senseless kindness. Perhaps YOU will be my "victim".

Hi there,
I'm not sure if you'll be able to save your pictures if they were stored to the device memory, but let's cross our fingers.
To reload your OS, follow the steps here: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Device-software-for-BlackBerry/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-S...
Once there, follow the link to download the OS from Verizon. Just download the most up to date OS.
Good luck!

Ipod shuffle 4th generation device not shown on itunes, not charging. Seeing red light when connecting to USB charger for a few seconds, then nothing. How to fix this?

My ipod shuffle 4th generation was working fine for a few months. My son then bit the USB charger. I bought a new USB charger, but the shuffle is not charging and not showing up under the devices in itunes. It also doesn't appear in my windows under my computer. Just to note. I also have a new ipod touch. I am able to charge that fine on the same computer using the USB charger. The device (Ipod touch) does show up in windows and in itunes. The shuffle doesn't show in either place.
I have tried to use the apple support page. I went through each step. I made all of my USB drives not shut down, I had my computer on all night to try and charge the shuffle. All I see is a red light that appears on the shuffle for a few seconds when I first connect the USB charger to the computer. Then, nothing. Since this was working a bit ago, I don't think that I have a defective shuffle. The USB charger is brand new, I just picked it up yesterday from the apple store. I have the short one, and the longer cable as well.
Any help that you might be able to give to me would be much appreciated. My daughter is missing listening to her music. Thanks!

Instead of "charger," you should call it the "USB cable" to avoid confusion. When started reading your post, I was thinking, how can your son break a USB power adapter (the "charger" that plugs into a wall socket) by biting it...
Since you got the product with the two USB cables at the Apple Store, you have the right replacement (some third-party replacements are for the 2nd gen shuffle and do not work with the 4th gen shuffle). Make sure you are completely inserting the plug into the headphones jack. The fit may be tighter than expected, since the connectors are new.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3572
If you tried both of those cables, it would be unlikely that you got two faulty cables in one package. If a new USB device has been added to the computer between the time it worked with the old cable and now, there could be a problem on the USB bus (such as not enough power or a device conflict).
As a test, you should shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices (including any hub), except for standard keyboard and mouse (if used). Do this to reset the shuffle

Start up computer, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle by itself to a direct USB port on the computer.

Xperia S does not turn on, red light when charging.

My phone, after spending a day on a boat, was low on battery (this was 2 hours after leaving on the drive home). It went from 6% battery to shutting down completely in a matter of seconds. I plugged it into my car charger immediately, but it has not turned on since. Previously i have had problems with the headphone jack not recognising if earphones were plugged in or not, but this usually resolved within a few minutes. On top of this i have once struggled to turn the phone on due to i believe a once off problem with the power button.
Recently the headphone jack has been playing up a lot more than usual, but it never resulted in this. I have never experienced any other problem with the phone. PROBLEM: Once it turned off, I have been unable to restart my phone. When charging it shows a dull red light like when charging less than 15% battery. I have charged it now, on and off using multiple different charges for 6 hours, and have left it on its original charger as i write this. The power button plus volume up has no effect. There is no vibrations when i turn on the device. The screen which usually loads something when charging, has not displayed anything since turning off. It does not connect to either an apple or windows computer with a usb cable, volume down key depressed or not. It does not get hot to touch while charging, and i remember according to AVG that the battery quality that day was "good". After 6 hours of charging, the red light is still there(and usually a full charge after 1.3 hours, leaves a green light) Put simply, the only responce of any kind i get from the phone is a red light when charging. What have i done? recharged the phone for 6 hours, tried power button, restart button combo, usb connection with both an apple and windows computer, i also put it in rice in case there was any water but did not change anything. anything changed? after 2 hours of charging on the wall, the red light disapeared... tried the above, nothing happened, unplugged the phone then replugged it in... red light. I will try to get it repaired shortly along with a broken PS3, but i would rather a solution, as both my work and social life heavily depend on it. thankyou in advance

If you have given it a good charge and still have no luck, I would advise running a software repair. This can be done with the phone powered off:
1. Download the PC Companion software from http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
and install it on your PC.
2. Install and open PC Companion then select Support Zone.
3. Phone Software Update.
4. Start.
5. Repair Phone
6. Continue
7. Accept data removal
8. Next
9. Wait for prepare
10. Select Phone
11. Follow the connection steps

I have a 4th gen Shuffle and when I try to charge it, a red light turns on and the Shuffle won't charge. How do I fix this?

So I haven't used my Shuffle in months and I don't remember how much battery was left when I stopped using it. When I connect my ipod to my laptop, a red light glows and my computer, nor my laptop will recogonize the ipod. It won't charge either. I've left it connected to an outlet and my laptop for hours but the red light won't go away. Help, please!

If you connected it to both your computer's USB port and a USB power adapter on a wall outlet, I think you've ruled out a problem with the power source. Since you at least get the red light, the USB docking cable is probably OK.
So, if it's not the USB port or the docking cable, the cause is likely to be on the shuffle. It may be the battery or a problem on the logic board. If it was just the battery, I think it would still appear in iTunes on the computer (or at least be recognized by the system).
(If this shuffle is less than one year from purchase date, it is under warranty.)

Xperia z2 dead , red light blinking when connected to usb charging cable

My phone is totally dead, i cant do anything power button + volume up button , force restart button near the sim , and nothing happens , also when i connect to a usb charger the red light is blinking all the time . Please HELP ME i need my xperia z2 back to live....

Hi,
For how long time have the phone been connected to the charger? If the LED is blinking red, it sounds like the battery is completely flat. Thereby it can take a longer time before the phone indicates charging and/or powers on. I suggest that you connect the phone to the charger via wall socket and let it charge for 1-2 hours.

Red light appears over my iphone speaker when charging.

i accidentally washed my phone. So i decided to do the rice treatment.and now when i put it on the charger a red light appears over my speaker. Also when i try to hard reset my phone the red light just flashes.Then after a while the light just goes away.

That's the proximity sensor. It's not supposed to do that.
Make an appointment at the genius bar and get the phone replaced. it's no longer safe to use it.

When on windows xp red light from headphone jack and low sound

I put windows xp sp3 on my computer about a week ago. There is a red light that comes from the headphones jack that is always on. The sound is only audible at full, it is extremely low. I don't understand this problem. It only happens when Im on windows (T_T I like to play sims). Does anyone have any information, or helpful suggestions about this? Thank you.

I think this was covered in the update for bootcamp.

I can not access Itunes Store from my computer. When I run the dianostic I get a red light that says "Secure Link to the Itunes Store Failed".

I can not access Itunes Store from my computer.
When I run the diagnostic tool for network connectivity, my network connects but I get a Red light that says "SECURE LINK TO THE ITUNES STORE FAILED".
Can anyone help me on this problem?

ITunes won't connect all I get is the "accessing iTunes store......". With the bar scrolling but no connection.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
