8130 Dead Battery / Flashing Screen?

Hey all.. just got a used 8130, used it for a couple weeks happily, and then I let my battery die yesterday. Since then, when plugging into USB->PC or the BB wall charger all I get is the white screen with the blue lightning bolt thru the empty battery. Also - the backlight is flashing from high to low (not off/on) at a very regular interval. I had it plugged in for a couple hours at work, no change. If I remove the charging plug, it dies. I tried to hook up w/ desktop manager now that Im home, it dosent see the device. JL_Cmder cant get deviceinfo either. It was not dropped nor did it get wet. I had just hooked up to my Orb login for the first time and finished streaming some video (very cool btw).
Soo... is this just a dead battery?
I went to the Verizon store today to get a new battery, and the guy there said that I HAVE to buy from them, and they dont stock them. That pissed me off so I left without buying one.. but is that true??? It seems to me there are plenty of places selling them.
Thanks in advance!

Go to Solution.

You can buy your battery wherever they are sold, even an ATT or TMo dealer, you need the identical battery you have, which should be the yellow C-M2 battery? Even BestBuy has then at times.
LEAVE your USB plugged and charging for a few hours, and then with the USB still plugged, remove the battery and reinsert it. See if boots up and LEAVE it charging longer, to 100%.
Hint, don't ever let your batter charge fall below 15%.

Brand new iPod touch will not turn on. Goes straight to dead battery screen.

Hello.
I recently purchased a refurbished iPod touch to develop apps on. I have had the iPod touch for about a week and last night the iPod suddenly shut off in the middle of use. The battery was low so I figured it was simply a dead battery and I went to plug it into the charger. This morning, I tried to turn it back on after about 10 hours of charging and I got the same dead battery plug in charger screen. I then swichted it to a usb slot on my macbook and left it to charge all day for about 9 hours. Again, I turned it on and nothing, just a dead battery screen. Both usb slots on my computer are working completely fine for my other devicesbut not this. I have also tried plugging it into the wall, but I get the same results. One other possibility is that I have the iOS 8 Beta on my phone currently and I have experienced some issues with that, but not enough to brick my device...or at least I thought. I have only had this device for a few days and so far I am very disappointed that this has happened already. If anyone can help me out without having to go to an Apple store for service that would be great!
Thanks

So did you iPod 5th gen worked again? I had similar experience. This is my own iPod (not refurbished), so I know it was
in great condition (I rarely used it but only for dev). I installed iOS8 Beta, and one morning, the screen won't turn on.
I plugged in power and nothing happened. After a few min, I heard that characteristic "power beep" and thankfully,
it came back to live. What I noticed is that I have > 90% power. So whatever happened, it isnt because it's low in
battery.
I have a suspicion it is entirely due to iOS 8 beta. Such a thing never happened to my iPod till the day I installed it.
My theory is that it is doing something busy, or there's a bug in the "waking" mechanism, and become extremely
sluggish to any external input, until it is done with whatever mysterious things it was doing. I am now putting it
in air plane mode whenever i don't need it, and also turn off icloud back up. Hopefully, I don't see this anymore.

My ipod will only show the dead battery screen and wont taking a charge.

my ipod will only show the dead battery screen and wont taking a charge on any of my sinc cords or my outlet charger. And I have checked that nothing is in the plug port blocking the electrodes. What do I do now?

Put the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore via iTunes.

Hello Tommythecat_nz,
I would check to ensure that the device is fully charged if you got the dead battery indicator. Let it charge for some time.

I have a HP Pavilion Elite d5100 ATX Desktop PC. On start-up, it froze at the HP flash Screen.

I have a HP Pavilion Elite d5100 ATX Desktop PC. On start-up, it froze at the HP flash Screen. It’s mostly unresponsive; will not access BIOs w/ f1 key; will not Recover w/ f11. It will respond at start-up to ESC, displaying “Loading Boot Menu…”, and w/ f10 “Entering Setup”, but never proceeds past message.I have never upgraded the BIOS I have disconnected and peripherals, net connection and replaced the CMOS battery. I have also followed a suggestion to disconnect the mouse and keyboard on start- up to see if they are the issues. Nothing is working.

Hi,
If you can enter setup, then go into the bios and see if the hard drive and the CD/DVD are recognized. If you can't get past the entering setup message then try the below procedures.
Unplug the PC and open it up. Clean out all the dust. Carefully remove and replace all the cables going to the motherboard one at a time. Do the same for the memory dimms and the video and sound cards if you have any. You might want to buy a can of compressed air to blow the dust out of the CPU heat sink. Plug your PC back in and give it a go.
Try this procedure and see if you can isolate the issue. Trouble Shooting Power Supply Issues. Don’t skip any steps.

Weird noises, flashing screen

I was listening to music on my 5G ipod when the battery died. The screen told me there wasnt any battery power left and to charge it. I turned it off and plugged it in to the AC Adaptor to charge it when it made some weird noises and the screen started flashing. Now its just black. I've tried resetting it but nothing happens. When i plugged it into the usb, it wasnt recognized by my computer. Any ideas?

i've tried all of that. The battery died yesterday. So i let it drain over night. When i try to reset it nothing happens. And the "charging" icon hasnt appeared since I plugged it into the usb.
One main concern is the flashing screen and the high pitched noise it made...that can't be normal.

My ipod touch is jammed on the battery charging screen, i have tried hooking up to itunes to reset it but it jams itunes as well. I cannot switch it off either. Can anyone help?

My ipod touch seems to be jammed on the battery charging screen it has the spining symbol like its trying to load something. I cannot turn it off. I have tried hooking it up to itunes to reset it, but it seems to jam itunes as well. Any help would b much appreciated.

Try:
- Resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then connecting it to your computer. If iTunes see it, restore the iPod via iTunes
- If no sceen in iTunes, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore it. For recvery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Let, let the battery fully drain and then charger and try again.

It sounds as if AT&T has already told you they can't do what you want. It doensn't sould like anything that's fixable on your end.

My iPad no longer recognizes my Zagg keyboard. Turned it off and on several times. One suggestion in manual is a dead battery. Where is a battery on a Zagg case? The iPad battery is fully charged.

My iPad 4 no longer recognizes my Zagg keyboard. Turned it off and on several times. One suggestion in manual is a dead battery. Where is a battery on a Zagg case? The iPad battery is fully charged and Bluetooth is on and the Zaggkeys PROfolio is listed but says NOT CONNECTED. What else should I try?

Well, you shoud tap the line where it says not connected, and it should prompt you to enter something. Regarding Zagg products, http://www.zagg.com/keyboard-cases/index.php?gclid=CIPgv7O_oL0CFQ8OOgodvnoA1w&ef _id=Uo5AsQAABFW6AX3n:20140320063435:s

Can we show flash screen over the loaded HTML5 page in StageWebView for IOS?

Hi Guys,
I want to show flash screen(let say abc.mxml) over loaded HTML5 page in StageWebView. But unable to show it. Even I want to interact with both pages ( flash and HTML5) bidirectionally.
Can anyone help me out of this StageWebView issue?
Thanks,
Mamta

Okay. I guess it's not possible?
Seems like the closest way to get there would be the UIwebview Native Extension. But the examples on the website are pretty vague as to it's use. (at least for a non-C coder like myself)
Anybody use that particular ANE? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
Again, just need to set a simple property here...

Flash Screen

I am looking to replicate the flash screen alert option as found in the System Prefs > Universal Access "Hearing" pane but can't figure it out. I did find a script that will press the keyboard combo to invert the colors and back...
tell application "System Events" to repeat 2 times
key code 28 using {command down, control down, option down}
delay 0
end repeat
...but that's not the effect I'm looking for. Any ideas? I did also find a cocoa command called FlashMenuBar ( http://cocoadev.com/index.pl?FlashScreen ) but I'm not sure if this is something that can be called via Applescript.
Any ideas? I don't want to UI script the pref pane to click the flash screen button. I'd like it to be a standalone app.
Thanks,
Matt

Oops.
The error message means Perl compilation failed because the specified Perl module Mac::Menus could not be found...
The posted Perl code works fine with MacPerl 5.6.1r2 under OS9.1. However, it seems it won't work under OSX.
(The Perl code simply invokes MacOS's Toolbox function 'FlashMenuBar(0)' twice in sequence, as explained in:
Toolbox Essentials >...> FlashMenuBar
or in Carbon Menu Manager Reference (pp. 52-53 of pdf):
MenuManager/menu_managerref.pdf
Menu_Manager/index.html
As far as I've searched briefly, this route via Perl (currently) won't lead you to the goal under OSX. Although there exists a Mac::Carbon module in CPAN, Menu Manager routines seem not implemented (yet).
