AppleTV Status Light Off

On my AppleTV 2nd Generation, the status light is always off. This just happened. It seems to function OK, but I would like the light to work for status information. I have unplugged and replugged it. I have also reset it. The light is still out. What can I do?

Could try unplugging it, leave it for 10 seconds and plug it back in.
unresponsive to restore factory setting
Not sure of what you mean by this, are you able to navigate to the screen to try to do a factory restore, or does it not do anything at all. What is displayed on the tv. Could it be the fuse (Do you have fuses in the plugs in the US).
Only other thought is that the remote has got swapped with another or the pairing could have been corrupted. Perhaps a quick look at the manual about pairing and unpairing remotes might be worth a go.

Bridge Mode Status Light Off

I have a brand new Aiport Extreme that I've setup for the office. It was happy as a clam while taking it's upstream connection straight from a staticly configured gateway. However, when it was moved behind a router and switched to bridge mode, it seems to have a lot of trouble.
The Airport will function, but the status light is completely off. It will blink amber when starting up (as expected), but then shutoff when running.
It will occasionally fail to connect new clients, or will show "no internet connection" for reconnecting clients. This usually takes a full reboot to get everything working for most people again.
Finally, it will occasionally drop the usb connected backup drive, but this could be mounting/unmounting issues with the drive itself.
Is there some configuration in the upstream switch that we're missing, or does it just not like Bridge Mode?

Probably a coincidence, but the status light should always be on and green if the AirPort is configured correctly.
The light will blink amber if the Extreme has an available firmware upgrade or a setting is not adjusted properly.
The status light should never be off....unless you have the device unplugged.
Suggest that you exchange the defective AirPort Extreme for another device.

Status lights off?

On XRAID, The left bank has all four status lights as green. power, fans, tmep, link.
the right bank only has a green link light. the lights for power, fans, temp are not on at all. everything is working fine, and RAID ADMIN shows everything functioning.
any ideas?

I had this exact same issue. I powered down the XRAID and unplugged it, and powered it back on and the other bank of lights came on.

T61P Vista AC power status light off

Despite buying a new brick. And holding power button down for 10 seconds. Ideas? Was getting BSOD, maybe overheat.

Oh, and the computer is totally dead as well. Power switch problem? Burnt out everything? What part of the system apparently stops power from the brick from getting to the ac power status light?

Time Capsule Status light is off

Why is the Time Capsule Status light off even though it is plugged in? The disc is spinning but it is not found in Airport Utility.

You have a Gen4 (look on the base A1409) that has committed ritual suicide..
Leave it unpowered for 12 hours.. then plug in again.. does the LED flash at all at start up.. LEDs on the ethernet ports.. no flash then no recovery.
It is now dead. At least the main router part is. The disk spinning shows it is not a failed power supply.. unfortunately I cannot even offer you a repair method. I did get one that failed that way.. pulled it apart and checked all the power supplies inside.. nothing was bad.. put it back to together and it started working again.. I do not know why but it has been reliable and working ever since. I do not therefore know what was actually the fault.
All I can suggest is the same treatment.. you have to pull it down and actually lift the board out.. ensure all the heat sink sticky tabs are connected and put it back together.. who knows.
You can at least recover what is on the hard disk if you need to, by putting the hard disk in a USB holder and plugging it into your computer.
If it is less than 3years old and you have applecare on a computer, you bought within 2years of the purchasing the TC.. apple may replace it.. check the rules as they are complex and convoluted.

HT200154 how do you turn off the apple TV box? There doesn't seem to be an off button. The status light stays on.

how do you turn off the apple TV box? There doesn't seem to be an off button. The status light stays on.

Usually, when you put it to sleep mode, the status light will turn off. To put it into sleep mode, go to Settings.
If you want it completely off, then I guess the only way to do it is to pull the electric plug.

N96 - Unable to switch off the Status Light

I am trying to disable the illumination light for the rim around the scroll key. I downloaded the N96 user guide from your site which says that the phone has the option under Tools > Settings > General > Personalisation > Standby Mode > Status Light. When I go to Standby Mode on the phone, I only have the Shortcuts and Standby Theme as options. The Status Light and Operato Logo options are not there. Is there any other way I can disable the illumination on the scroll key?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You need to turn off the 'breathing' feature.

Apple TV v2 functioning fine, but status light permanently off

I have a v2 Apple TV, and everything seems to be working fine... but my status light is now permanently off.
I have tried disconnecting the power and HDMI cable, and experienced the issue with both Apple TV 4.1 and the newly released 4.2.
Anyone else have this issue, or know of a solution?
Kevin

I'm having the same issue on a brand-new Apple TV 3 that I received this morning. Everything seems to work fine (other than some home sharing issues that I wouldn't think have any relation), but there has not been a light.
You guys are also the first people I've found who had the same issue, even if it was from the ATV 2 and not 3. If anyone found/finds a fix, please let me know.

Xilinx Platform Cable USB II Status Light Always Off

I have been using the Xilinx Platform Cable USB II with ISE WebPACK 10.1 on Windows XP for a couple of years now.
Last week I bought a second Xilinx Platform cable, but I have not been able to get it to work. I have followed the instructions in the installation guide (ug344), and the Windows Found New Hardware Wizard runs twice when the cable is plugged in to a USB port, as expected. The wizard indicates that the installation of the firmware loader and the cable are successful. However, the status light on the cable never turns on. Also, the Cable Auto Connect operation in iMPACT fails:

Error updating cable firmware.
I have tried using the cable with the latest version of ISE WepPACK on a computer running Windows 7, and I have followed instructions to uninstall and reinstall the cable drivers using a DOS command prompt. The cable behaves as described above.
Is there anything else I can try, or is the state of the status light an indication that there is hardware problem?
Thanks.

Correct. Even though iMPACT reports it is attempting to install firmware, the light is never on. I have not seen it on in any color since I bought the cable.
I have tried the latest version. I have a newer machine running Windows 7 with ISE WebPACK 14.7. Again, the drivers seem to install witouth a problem, but the light remains off. Here is the log when I attempt to connect to the cable:

Turn off status light in apple tv 3rd generation

is there a command that allows you to turn off the led status light on the apple tv 3rd gen
WITHOUT HAVING TO NAVIGATE TO HOME SCREEN>SETTINGS>SLEEP NOW.

Have 2 airport extreme base stations connected in chain. Airport utility shows slave unit without power. However, power is on slave unit, but status lights do not show up at all. Small green lights at each back port blink. Anyone have any ideas?

Unfortunately, you are describing the symptoms of an AirPort Extreme with a failing (or failed) internal power supply.
As a last resort, try a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme as follows:
Power off the AirPort by pulling the power cord
Wait a minute or two
Hold in the reset button 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 and allow a full minute for the AirPort to restart
Now try to configure the AirPort again. If you continue to see the same symptoms as before, the AirPort will need to be replaced.

Apple TV 3 Status Light turns ON and stays ON when I turn ON my Broadband Modem. How do I stop this ?

Since I updated my Apple TV 3 to 5.1.1, the Status Light turns ON and stays ON when I turn ON my Broadband Modem. How do I stop this ?
At the moment I have to go to the HDMI channel that my ATV 3 is connected to, wake the ATV, then put it back to sleep, to turn OFF the status lght.
When I first got my ATV I did not have this problem, when it was running 5.1.0.
I sent in a Feedback form, but they only as the option to select the OS version of a NON iOS device.
Is there a fix to this that wont involve me leaving my modem ON all the time ?
I turn my modem OFF when I am not using the Internet because I am a bit paranoid about the security of the data on my devices, and if I leave the modem turned ON all the time it might make me an easier target for hackers etc. { This is NOT part of my question, just explaining why I turn my modem OFF ( I feel safer ) }
<Edited by Host>

The ATV3 does that to me when I turn on my TV. the light goes on and stays on. If I switch to the ATV3, it seems to be half asleep with the light on ... I do wish Apple would enable the HDMI CEC and then everything would make sense. I've turned off my wireless and on again but the ATV3 light does not turn on automatically for me.
As you pointed out, I guess this could be a small glitch on the new firmware/software update... I wonder if this could be fixed by doing a restore from the iTunes app. I might give it a try tomorrow and see what happens...
Cheers!
