AirEx blinks green once then no light

Airport Express was working perfect on the road but when I got home and plugged it in, the green light blinked once then nothing; no light, no signal. Tried soft and hard reset but still nothing. Wondering if anybody else has had a similar problem and fixed it. Trying to avoid having to shell out another 100sum bucks for this thing, thanx.

These are classic symptoms of a "dead" Airport
Express. There is no repair possible for this problem.
Darn! The only thing I used the AX for was Airtunes - connected to a surge protector et al. That it would just 'die' in such an undemanding setting makes me wonder if its worth getting another. Are there quite a few dead AXs? I mean I'm using electronic routers and modems from the last millennium - a properly constructed modem shouldn't burn out...

ZyXel Prestige 861 Modem - vDSL Lights Flashing/Blinking Green

Hi All,
The internet used to work, but now it's just flashing/blinking green. Hence the internet has gone down, and I can't figure where is the problem.
I live in a apartment (23 Floors), and the modem is setup this way:
Telephone Cable => Modem => Ethernet Cable => Router
I changed the telephone cable a few times, and even switched to a different jack that used to work (I moved the modem from the living room to the bedroom 2 years ago).
But it is still flashing/blinking green on the vDSL lights.
Also it seems like nobody had any issues with their Verizon services, could it be a hardware issue that the 5 year old ZyXel Presitage 861 modem has broken down?
Is it possible to switch to another modem, for example, Actiontec GT701D Ethernet DSL Modem?
Thanks all

Well, I thought in the meantime while the network is down (tech is arriving tomorrow), why don't I try to debug the problem myself?
I've tested that the phone line itself works, but I don't know about the jack.
The ONT works too (The Verizon Phone Support said that ONT looks fine), so... It's some physical connection between the basement and my apartment (located 23rd floors high). I've tried all the jacks in my house, which they used to work when I was deciding the best place to put my modem and wireless router).
So it's either the modem, or the physical wiring is broken. So why not try a quick fix?
Anyways, if it's somewhere of the wiring, and also extremely difficult to fix it, I guess I need to find another apartment.

Tablet fails boot, red light, then blinking green....GRRR!!

Just as my tablet recieved the OS update, it no longer booted.
It was fully charged, and plugged into a standard micro USB at the time.
It said download was successful, restart now... so I did.
And I never could use it again.
When I tried to boot it, it had a red light, then the red light blinked a few times, then nothing.
And then, it blinked green six times. then nothing.
I tried a USB to my computer to use Blackberry Manager (latest version).
I tried of course, the various holding down the power button schemes, including the old one of holding down ALL the keys, and the new one with just the power and forward keys. Nothing.
I went on EBAY to get an OEM charger stand. I hope that works, but I don't have much hope for that.
And now, nothing. My blackberry is a brick after the update.
I came to like blackberry because of the reliability of the phone. While all of my iphone friends were crazy about tech support of apple, I replied, I don't need tech support with my blackberry (curve) nothing ever goes wrong.
But this whole situation, is getting me down.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Connect it to the OEM wall outlet charger.
Press and hold down the power key ONLY for 20 seconds.

Blinking Green Light! Mount & Unmount on Intel Mac mini

Hi all.
This is my sister's iPod shuffle, lat night she plugged into her new Intel Mac mini Core Duo, and the shuffle mounts, everything appears to be in working order, she said today she still listened to it.
Just now she accidently plugged the shuffle while in our Dad's account (on the Mac mini as well), then seemed like "all well broke loose", this is what she told me, first iTunes was not responsive, colour wheel, so she restarted but only arrived at the blank desktop and only the shadow of the Top Menu Bar
I reset the iPod shuffle, was successful in plugging it in, quit iTunes (all in her own account now) and update the shuffle software.
When inside iTunes, once I started Autofill, it suddenly unmounted by itself, followed by the red exclamation error message when you accidently remove an external device unproperly.
When I tried plugging in again, it refuses to mount. Just blinking Green, or pull out again, blinking Yellow.
Now I plug it into my own iMac G5, and it mounts and is blinking slowly with yellow light, what seems to be normal charging.
Has this something got to do with the Intel Mac??
Thanks and cheers

This probably has nothing to do with the Mini, but everything to do with the Shuffle. Like all flash memory, it is susceptible to damage if unplugged at the wrong time.
For the shuffle, you cannot remove it while it is updating or in Disk Mode. This warning is presented in the User's Guide and is repeated in several other places throughout the Support pages as well.
The general rule is: If it's blinking amber, don't unplug it before you unmount it. Unmounting can be done either in iTunes or in the Finder.
About all you can do, given the symptoms you're seeing, is try to Restore it. See the instructions in the User's Guide and/or on the iPod Shuffle Support Page.

Desktop won't start; blinking green light

I have a Compaq Presario SR 1318NX which will not start!? There is a blinking green light on the back of the power supply; which is normally solid green when 110V AC is plugged into it. I have tried the trick of holding the start button while plugging in the power cord ..... no help. I have also opened the case and carefully removed every power cord to all the internal devices ................ the light turns solid green only when I pull the main power from the motherboard!
Do I need to replace the motherboard? The troubleshooting site on hp.com would indicate the power supply is OK if the light is solid green.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Lou

My wife's computer has been having the same problem several times. One solution I found that worked before was to unplug the motherboard power cable and the PSU power cable from the back of the PC and then connect the power cable and connect the motherboard power cable while holding down the power button. Scary, to say the least, but it worked, until one day I accidentally flipped the wrong breaker and then spend two hours trying the same solution with no luck and Googling again. And here is what I found. This is the simplest yet crudest solution. It’s easy and non invasive and it doesn’t matter how tech savvy you are. Take a blow dryer and turn it on to blow air at the back of the power supply for a couple minutes. When you see the light turn green you’re all set. It's worked for me after it worked for a hundred others, maybe more. See the testimonials on this site: http://talk19.wordpress.com/2008/01/13/hp-m7088d-power-supply-led-blinks-green/. It’s a shame that nothing like this appears on any HP site. So don’t waste your money on a new MoBo or PSU. All you need is your wife’s hair drier.

Why do i get a blinking green light on my airport?

My airport keeps blinking a green light, and my airport utility does not detect a configured airport even though it is plugged in. what should I do?

Please try a factory default reset on the AirPort Extreme as follows:
Pull the power cord from the AirPort
Wait a minute
Hold in the reset button on the AirPort first, and keep holding it in for an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the AirPort
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the AirPort to restart.
If the AirPort is operational, it will display a solid amber light for about 30 seconds, then the light will turn to blinking amber.
If you still have no power light after you try the reset a few times, the AirPort has unfortunately very likely failed and will need to be replaced.
If you do have an Apple Store near you, take the AirPort to them to let them have a look. If the AirPort has an external power supply "brick", sometimes that is the culprit and new power supply will get things going again.

Airpot Express Base Station blinks amber once when plugged in then nothing

Hi, I haven't used my Airport Express for a while and I just tried to plug it in, and all it does is blink amber once and then it does nothing else. I have tried to reset it and hard reset it and many variations of the reset button and unplugging/plugging in and it doesn't do anything no matter what I do. No lights ever come on and it doesn't show up in Airport Utility.
Has anybody had this problem or know what's wrong or how I can fix it?
Thank you,
Aaron

If it still behaves in this way after a [factory default reset|http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728], it has a hardware problem.

MacBook Pro. When trying to powering up the sleep light blinks five times then there's a pause

MacBook Pro. When trying to powering up the sleep light blinks five times then there's a pause, then blinks five more times and then shuts down. hard drive spins up for a few seconds in the beginning. I've tried pulling ram from a working MacBook Pro from same generation and it didn't seem to make any changes. battery has been dead for years. serial number of mac is W8819AWHYJX,
Thanks for any help you might provide.

If you don’t hear beeps, but the sleep indicator light flashes five times when you start it up or wake it from sleep, its battery may need service. Take the battery to an Apple Authorized Service Provider, such as an Apple Retail Store.

FBUS-HSE/H1 not detecting 100Mbps and status light blinking green

I had the HSE/H1 connected to my network, but it decided to go crazy on me and drop off the map. I know the IP Address of the unit, but am unable to connect with it anymore. I did a factory reset on the unit, but am unsure if that resets the IP address as well. If that is the case what is the best way to force an IP address on the unit? The status light blinks green at a rather fast rate as well. I can add the ethernet interface board in the interface fonfiguration utility, but can not add the hse/h1 LD since it just sits there and listens for the board forever. I hope it is an easy fix and not a matter of the unit died on me.
Thanks
Kyle

The blinking status LED indicates that the linking device is in standby state. The linking device will be assigned an IP address automatically through DHCP.
Please check whether the linking device and the host PC are in the same subnet. Otherwise, the linking device will not be detected.

Background contrast on Apps screen & blinking green light

Newbie here. The Apps screen had a blue background but is now white and I am unable to read the titles of the icons at the bottom of the screen. How can I get rid of the white background and return to the blue contrast?
Additionally the green indicator light is blinking non-stop. Why is it doing that now when it never did before?
Thanks!

Greetings, and welcome to the forums!
Not sure about an answer to your 1st question, but the blinking green light simply means that your phone is connected to your carrier. I use it just so I know at a glance whether my phone's actually on or not. To disable that blinker, go to Options > Screen/Keyboard > LED Coverage Indicator and change the setting to "off".

Airport Extreme light flashes green, amber, then goes out

When I pug in the Airport Extreme the led status light flashes green, amber, then goes out. Matters not if I press the reset button, unplug and press, or anything else.
So it seems I have power, but it will not work, and the light goes out.
Any Ideas?

How old is it?
See if you have a 12v power supply of around 2A around.. and try that.. sometimes the power supply goes.. but often it is the internal supplies.. in which case you cannot really do anything but replace it.
If it is less than 3years old and you have apple care on a computer Apple might replace it.. if you match all the requirements. outside 3years.. buy a new one.

HT3180 tried factory reset as documented ... hold ... wait .... unplug ... replug .... light blinks 3 times then blinks fast

tried factory reset as documented ... hold ... wait .... unplug ... replug .... light blinks 3 times then blinks fast ... what next?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

When I first plug in my power cord it lights up green and then after a few seconds changes to red. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

Apple systems in MBP have self-maintaining charging systems. If the battery is less than 95%, the charger light turns orange when plugged it. It will charge to 100% and stay green then will hold on charging until the battery drops to 95% again.
