Blinking battery looking light K410

Hello.  Hope  someone can help me.
I have a K410 without the power control option.  So my chassis only has a power button and next to it a battery looking icon thingy and it is blinking white.  Very irratating and I can find no info on what it means or on how to to make it stop.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Jasy

hi Jasy,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
You're probably referring to the HDD indicator light as it's the one near the power button

AFAIK, there's no separate function to turn off the HDD light indicator as this LED is soldered to the front panel cable which also contains the switch for the Power Button, thus, you will lose both the functionality of the Power Button and the HDD light indicator if this cable is removed from the motherboard.

From here, I think your only option would be just covering the HDD light indicator (ie. with a black tape) to make it stop.

  • Blinking battery light when fully charged

    My battery light is blinking (low battery power warning) but the battery is fully charged.  I installed a brand new battery, left the AC adapter on overnight, and this morning had a blinking battery light.  It doesn't seem to be a problem except that I won't be able to tell when the battery really is low?  Thoughts anyone?

    On buying MBP with retina display, one of the Apple genius in the store advised never overcharge it and till date I am acting upon his advice.
    Also, he stated don't put your MBP for continuous charging. Charge it in the same way same as you do for your mobile phone.
    Anyways, I'll keep on looking charged status (100% charge) like what I and other iPhone users do.
    Actually, I take well care of my belongings and iPhone being a premium product, I raised this concern.
    Anyways, Thank you very much for your kind support.
    The genius was misinformed. There is no way to over charge an Apple battery powered device. The charging circuits in the device itself will never allow that to happen. Once the battery is fully charged, charging stops no matter what you do or don't do to the device.
    BTW, this is not an Apple thing. The over charge protection is actually part of the international engineering standards for smart lithium battery technology.

  • Aspire Ethos 8951g Blinking Battery Light - Won't Boot

    When I press the power button on my Aspire Ethos 8951g, the battery light blinks five times at a one second interval and nothing else happens. If I use the switch to disconnect the battery, the battery light does not blink and the computer will not boot. So far I've tried to do a power reset by using the switch to disconnect the integrated battery, removing the RAM, and holding the power button for 90 seconds. It had no effect.  I also bought a new AC adapter, which also had no efffect.  Does anyone know what the five flashes mean? I can't find it in any documentation. The battery life had been pretty good up until this point. 

    IllN,
    Typically the blinking battery light means it has no charge. Here are a few things I can think of:
    Purchasing a new charging adapter rules that out. (good job!)
    Is the charging port connection snug, or is it loose at all? Can you still see the pin inside the port?
    Purchase a new battery.
    Mainboard could be bad.

  • Macbook Pro shut down because the battery power ran out. Now I cannot start it and the battery will not charge. Only one green battery charge light lights up and blinks.

    My Macbook Pro shut down because the battery power ran out. Now I cannot start it and the battery will not charge. Only one green battery charge light lights up and blinks on the left side. I am running Lion. How do I get this to charge and turn on? Thanks

    If your model Macbook Pro is the calibrating model, let the battery calibrate. 
    If not, and are still under warrant or have Apple Care, give them a call and get a case number.  Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you. 

  • Balnk scrren, blinking caps lock light

    dv6 laptop showing black display when turned on, caps lock light blinking. I tried unplugging the power cord, removed battery as suggested, however, problem persists.
    This question was solved.

    Hi Suzieg,
    I understand you’re getting a blank display when you turn on your laptop.
    You mentioned the caps lock light blinking when you turn the computer on. Here is a link that will allow you to check and see if the blinking of those lights on the notebook, match what you see in this link . A lot of the time the lights can blink in a certain pattern, I would like you to take a look at the listing of blink codes and let me know if the laptop  lights are blinking in that nature.
    When you open the link go down to the section titled “ LED's near Caps Lock and Number Lock keys blink when starting notebook”.
    Please respond back with your results.
    Thanks

  • Blinking Red Power Light Need Help With Self Repair

    I have a rear projection 57 inch TV, model number 57H84R and whenever I try and turn it on all I get is a blinking red power light.  I've seen online where it might be a fuse in it but when I called customer support they told be it was a board.  I don't have the manual anymore and i've read it is needed to try to repair it myself.  I've anyone had any advice on where to start at or any place online that would be helpful in trying to fix it myself would be appreciated. My e-mail address is [email protected], thank you.

    When you moved in January, how long was the Mac not connected to AC power? You could have a weak PRAM memory battery. Have you tried zapping PRAM? See Mac PRAM, NVRAM, CUDA/PMU & Battery Tutorial

  • MBP 13'' Cannot detect battery & battery indicator light won't off

    This morning, I found my mbp cannot detect the battery and the green battery indicator lights on the side of the mac won't switch off even if I turn off the computer and disconnect the power supply. Also with the problem that the mac cannot detect the battery, mbp cannot be switch on without power supply. I just got my mbp on Feb 2010 and I really enjoy it. These problems worried me a lot. So I went to apple retail store straight away. The staff has a quick look over the battery information on "About this mac" and updated the newest software, and suggests me to make a booking with Genius Bar. Then I went home. I did some searching on google and read some information about SMC and hardware testing. I did the hardware testing first. With a quick scan the computer provide an error code:
    4SNS/1/40000000:TB3T-128.000
    And then I did the SMC procedure. This is where I solve the battery and indicator light problem. Now, the mac can detect the battery, the indicator lights return to normal and the battery can be charged. Seems all fine. But do you think I should cancel the booking with Genius Bar since the problem is solved? Or do you suggest to still bring into store and have a check? Thank you.

    Reset the SMC (System Management Controller) and advise us if that helped.

  • Cannot clear blinking low ink lights on Deskjet F4180

    printer won't print.  Attention black light is blinking and E light is on.
    Installed refilled cartridges and still have the problem.  Is there a solution
    short of buying a new printer?

    Hi Conniejb, and welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see you are having ink issues.  I would like to help with that.
    These issues and errors can be caused by having refilled ink.  HP does not recommend using anything but HP genuine ink.  I would recommend installing HP genuine ink. 
    I would also recommend referring to this document on Blinking Lights.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • How can I fix this red blinking SYS LED light?

    I am having problems with the extender losing signal and the GPS turns red and the SYS light is slow blinking red.  I just spent 40 minutes on the phone with a Verizon tech who had me unplug it and just pretty much said "Sorry, there nothing we can do"!!!!  This is happening several times a day for the past 2 weeks. 

    I am having the same problem with a blinking red sys light and red gps light. The system has been working fine for months and without my changing anything at all, it stopped working yesterday. I am using the correct power supply. I have powered off and on the gateway and the extender several times. My zip is 94306 (although Verizon shows my device as nearby Los Altos 94022 where I think the tower might be). I have AT&T Uverse as my ISP with a standard 2wire modem/router gateway 3800HGV-B.

    My 13.3" macbook pro will not power up.The battery indicator light does not come on.The Mag safe charging light flickers green and red dimly.I had a cell phone connected to the USB port.

    This didn't work for me, so I did a bit of searching and TONS of pages later in google, I found an answer. Here are the steps for people who also were in my situation:
    1. Take off bottom case
    2. Unplug battery - blurry image here: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/03cC79r5Dx4/0.jpg
    3. Press and hold power button for 5 seconds
    4. Plug a charger in, and it should start booting up
    5. After shutting down again, reconnect the battery and close the case up
    6. It works! (hopefully, if you guys had the same situation I did)

  • My mac book pro is on, but the power light indicator is not on, the battery charging light is not on, and the computer is making a whirring sound, what is wrong

    My mac book pro is working, but my power light is off, the battery power light is not on and my battery power symbol is a black x. My computer is making a whirring sound sort of like it does when  loading a CD. I had a hard time getting the computer to turn on, used the command, option, P and R buttons to turn in on. I have tried restart, but I still get the whirring sound. What is wrong and what do I do?

    Didn't do an SMC reset. But in attempting to find out about what that was I found some things to try first. Also, when I went to system preferences - hardware, I couldn't find anything regarding power and battery info. Finally, I unplugged the computer for several seconds, then shut it down, removed the battery, put the battery back in. Then I turned on the computer, plugged in the power cord. Problem solved- no whirring sound, battery charging light is on.
    Thanks for getting me in the right direction.

  • Battery indicator lights show full battery but won't turn on

    I have an early 2008 non-unibody MacBook Pro. For about a year now, the status of the battery has been "replace soon." I was still getting a pretty good amount of time off of one charge so I wasn't too worried. This past Saturday morning, I woke up, checked the battery indicator lights on my computer (it had been sleeping since the day before) and it said it had about 60% percent so I opened it. I was on the Internet for about 10 minutes before it shut off without warning. It wouldn't turn back on when I pressed the power button, so I plugged it in and it turned back on. When I checked, the battery status was "replace now." After using it, I turned it back off and left for NYC for the weekend and didn't bring it with me. When I got home last night, I plugged it in and tried turning it on with no luck. The battery indicator light was flashing one light, so I just assumed it would need to charge for a bit before it would turn back on. After about two hours, when I went to bed, it still was flashing just one light. I kept it plugged in over night, and this morning when I checked it, the battery indicator lights showed that it was fully charged, but it still wouldn't turn on. I still kept it plugged in throughout the day just in case, but it still won't turn on even though all the lights are lit. Is the battery just showing me false information, or should I be worried about more than just the battery? Might I have to get a new computer altogether? I bought a replacement battery online so I'll have my answer in a few days, but I was just wondering.

    And for what it's worth, I tried reseating the RAM and resetting the SMC, both with no luck. Could it be the logic board? The only reason I think it might not be is because my computer still worked a little bit after it first shut off, it was only after it was off for an extended period of time that it wouldn't turn back on.
