After installing updates my atv2 screen goes blank and led flashes rapidly

I just bought my atv2 and it told me to update, which I did, and then my screen went black and the led light started blinking rapidly. This is the second one in 2 days. I have tried disconnecting the hdmi, power, and holding down the arrow keys to reboot and still nothing.

I recently got this ipod from the Apple store because my previous one broke. They gave me the ipod and right when I plugged it in, the screen turned an offwhite color, made a quiet buzzing sound and flashed. After a week of this it mysteriously started working so I didn't put much thought into it, I was just happy my iPod worked. Then after a month or two, it randomly started doing the same thing. No matter if I plug it in or not, the screen flashes a blank off white page.
It is also possible that your iPod has entered one of its "Sleep" modes. When it hasn't been used in a while, it goes through a couple of stages of this to preserve the battery's charge.
Try pressing the iPod's center button to wake it from sleep.
If this fails, start with a reset of the iPod (hold Menu & center buttons) and work your way through the rest of the 5 R's.

Pearl 8100 Screen goes blank and Red flashing LED then will not respond.

Hi,
This is my first post here (however I'm on other forums as well) I wanted to see if anyone has come across this.
Briefly here is the low down...
* We have BES 4.1.038 (will be updating soon to 4.5 or 5)
* Platform Version is 2.7.0.66
* Blackberry Version is 4.5.0.52
It's also showing on the BES as having communicated with the unit within the last 10 mins.
any ideas?

Hello Paul_Poker and welcome to the forums!,
I think in your situation you should look into reloading the software on the device. Just make sure you back up your data before proceeding so you can have a copy of it. Of course the application loader will take of this for you by default.
1) Here is how you back up your device.
2) Here is how you reload the software cleanly on the device (Alternatively, Here is an article on how to use the Web-Based software loader)
3) Here is how you restore your data to the device if it is not backed up automatically

Howdy mbaeguasu,
It sounds like your iPhone may be restarting unexpectedly while you’re using it. Take a look at the article linked below and, if you haven't already, try installing the latest version of iOS on your device.
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
So long,

When i select the "Full Screen" option in video streams (like youtube, veoh, anything like that) i can do that one(1) time second(2nd) time the screen goes blank and can only exit it with the escape(Esc) button and then i have to restart firefox and again i have my one "Full-screen Ticket"

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

When I am on a phone call and I double click the button to go to my home screen, then open another application (usually my calendar program, Calengoo), my screen goes blank and I am not able to return to either the app, the phone, or the home screen.

When I am on a phone call and I double click the button to go to my home screen, then open another application (usually my calendar program, Calengoo), my screen goes blank and I am not able to return to either the app, the phone, or the home screen. If I am speaking to a person, if they hang up then I am back to the phone application. If I'm leaving a message, I am unable to return to the phone screen to end the call, and have to wait until the other phone hangs up. I'm also unable to switch back and forth to look at my calendar if I'm calling someone about scheduling. This has only started happening since the most recent iOs update. I run into situations similar to this about once per day during the work week, as I use my phone is this manner quite often. While not life altering it is quite frustrating. Can anyone here help me figure out a way to avoid this? If it helps, I have noticed a general downgrade in overall performance starting two system updates ago (apps opening more slowly, closing unexpectedly more often, etc.). I have an iPhone 3GS with the latest OS update.
Thank you for any help or suggestions,
Chris

I could be corrupted backup.
You can check the notification settings for message.
Settings>Notification Center>Messages>Alert Style
It should be on Banners or Alerts.
Settings>Messages> Turn on Imessage and send as SMS and below that "Blocked" to check if you have any numbers block might be blocking the message.
You can also do a hard reset by holding power and home till it restarts and release after seeing the apple logo.
Still doesn't work? Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings

Since you have Lion v10.7.4 installed, use Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk if necessary, or reinstall the Mac OS X.

My iphone 5 screen goes blank and i am not able to do anything

My iphone 5 screen goes blank and i am not able to do anything. It happens in rainy weather and it comes back to normal after 3-4 hrs.

If you get your phone wet you risk permanent damage. Do not use your phone in the rain.

Yes, your battery is likely toast and in need of replacement. Not much else for troubleshooting here. Sorry.

Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if, it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red (-) to delete all apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

Did you reset your iPad like this: Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
