Bold 9900 not powering up no RED light

Hi,
A day back my Bold 9900 was hung while checking email, it remained for around 15 mts and I had to pull out the battery, since then it never powered up. Tried every tip and tricks of the forum but to no rescue.
The LED red light does not come up with / without battery and with /without charger connected and neither does it boot. I guess that motherboard power must be available as trackpadpad is showing gleamy sensor light inside.
Please help me with a technical solution.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Tried charging quickly/endlesslywithout battery, inserting battery while charging, tried apploader, tried connecting through desktop / web software update, tried getting detection of hardware through desktop to no success etc, and almost navigated all the solutions/workarounds/tricks posted in support forums. But all in vein. What could have possibly gone wrong ? Is it hardware failure ? Have not tried battery replacement as there was no issue with battery while it was working.

MXI3 (NI PXI-8330) board not detected. Not powering up, no link light.

MXI3 (NI PXI-8330) board not detected. Not powering up, no link light. Cable looks fine. Any ideas?

PeteMan,
I will need to know in more detail how your system is behaving to give you better tips, so please feel free to send me more information.
For now, let me send you a couple of troubleshooting tips:
Cable connection
Make sure both ends of the copper cable are well connected to the PCI-MXI-3 and the PXI-MXI-3 boards. Be careful when disconnecting the copper connectors. you need to push down the plastic connector so it does not get damaged. Damaged connectors could result in bad MXI-3 links.
If the connector has not been used properly, it could be broken (this rarely happens). Make sure you are not connecting the cable backwards.
Power - Up order.
It seems you are controlling your PXI chassis using a PCI-to-PXI extender (copper cable). Make sure you are powering up the PXI chassis BEFORE powering up the PC.
PXI is built on top of the CompactPCI spec, so it uses the PCI high speed bus. The MXI-3 extender is really a PCI-to-PCI bridge toyour computer, so for your PC, all the slots in the PXI chassis look like more PCI slots. In other words, your computer suddenly has more PCI slots.
It is very important to power up the PXI chassis first before powering up the computer, because at power up the PC enumerates all PCI slots. If the PXI chassis is OFF during boot up, the slots in the PXI chassis will never get enumerated and your PC will never see the board installed in the PXI chassis.
Normal Power up LED sequence
Each MXI-3 board has four LED light on its front panel: two green lights (POWER and LINK) and two orange lights (Tx and Rx). When you power up the PXI chassis you should see one green light and one orange light ON steadily (POWER and ). Then, when you power up the PC, both green lights shoudl be ON steadily and the orange lights shoudl flicker.
If you do not see this behaviour at power up, most probably one of your boards its damage.
If you have another MXI-3 extender kit, try to set up the system mixing the boards from the two kits to try isolate which board is the one that is damaged.
Run the MXI-3 Optimization Software
The MXI-3 Optimizaton Software makes sure that the link between the PC and the PXI chassis has been set up properly. It will show you an error otherwise.
MXI-3 Software Version 1.15 for Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME
The PC powers up fine if the PXI chassis is OFF, but if I turn on the PXI chassis first and then try to power up my PC, my PC does not boot
There are several things that could be causing this behaviour:
It could be that your PC has an old BIOS that has issues detecting PCI-to-PCI bridges. You could try upgrading the BIOS.
A part of the hardware could be damaged. If you have a main-stream computer (like a DELL or HP PC, for example), test your MXI-3 extender in it to make sure that the hardware is in good conditions. Main-stream computers tend to use new Motherboards with good BIOS.
There are more tips in the following KnowledgeBase:

My blackberry z30 does not turn on with red light flashing

hi i have a blackberry z30 , after charging my blackberry z30 it does not turn on and show me a red light blinking 5 times...what i should do? please help.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):Connect your BB to the wall chargerLeave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display doesHold the up/down volume keys until the device is fully powered offWait 15 minutesPower up normallyWait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display doesThis has been known to "kick start" some BBs. If it fails, then please try again but increase the step 4 wait time to 2 hours, and perhaps as long as 4-5 hours. If it fails to help, then your next step is in-person evaluation by a qualified technician. If you remain in warranty, seek support under those terms. If you have no warranty, then seek out a local (to you) shop with a qualified technician and have them provide you with a proper evaluation and estimate.
Good luck and let us know!

Bold 9900 not switching off on its own

i have a bold 9900. when the phone powers on, it goes of after a minute on a successful boot. it stays on only when the music is playing. when the music goes off, it goes off. i have downgraded and the problem persists. i have tried upgrading but each time the desktop manager tells me errow in downloading additional software. in other words, the online upgrade is not succeeding. please, who has an idea on what i will do to get this phone back on without having to put my music on just to keep the phone on as doing so drains the battery.

Hi Keanan,
Discussion Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines
This could be related to a SIM card, SD card or even a third party app, the best thing to start with is to remove the SIM card first, if the issue continues remove the SD card, if still the issue continues, then it is likely related to some third party software.
Try going through the process of elimination and let us know how you get on.

Ipod shuffle 4th generation device not shown on itunes, not charging. Seeing red light when connecting to USB charger for a few seconds, then nothing. How to fix this?

My ipod shuffle 4th generation was working fine for a few months. My son then bit the USB charger. I bought a new USB charger, but the shuffle is not charging and not showing up under the devices in itunes. It also doesn't appear in my windows under my computer. Just to note. I also have a new ipod touch. I am able to charge that fine on the same computer using the USB charger. The device (Ipod touch) does show up in windows and in itunes. The shuffle doesn't show in either place.
I have tried to use the apple support page. I went through each step. I made all of my USB drives not shut down, I had my computer on all night to try and charge the shuffle. All I see is a red light that appears on the shuffle for a few seconds when I first connect the USB charger to the computer. Then, nothing. Since this was working a bit ago, I don't think that I have a defective shuffle. The USB charger is brand new, I just picked it up yesterday from the apple store. I have the short one, and the longer cable as well.
Any help that you might be able to give to me would be much appreciated. My daughter is missing listening to her music. Thanks!

Instead of "charger," you should call it the "USB cable" to avoid confusion. When started reading your post, I was thinking, how can your son break a USB power adapter (the "charger" that plugs into a wall socket) by biting it...
Since you got the product with the two USB cables at the Apple Store, you have the right replacement (some third-party replacements are for the 2nd gen shuffle and do not work with the 4th gen shuffle). Make sure you are completely inserting the plug into the headphones jack. The fit may be tighter than expected, since the connectors are new.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3572
If you tried both of those cables, it would be unlikely that you got two faulty cables in one package. If a new USB device has been added to the computer between the time it worked with the old cable and now, there could be a problem on the USB bus (such as not enough power or a device conflict).
As a test, you should shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices (including any hub), except for standard keyboard and mouse (if used). Do this to reset the shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1655
Start up computer, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle by itself to a direct USB port on the computer.

Output speakers do not work, have a red light coming out of my headph. jack

My headphone jack works but theres a red light coming out of my headphone jack when its unplugged and my internal speakers will not work...anybody have an idea? Tried system preferences and says no options for selected audio and cant get any sound for my built in output speakers and my volume display in my bar is faded....HELP!

@Spencer
I know this thread was marked answered but thought I should chime in since my MBP (2.66Ghz Late '08, bought May '09) started to exhibit this behavior. I was getting "No Output" greyed out speaker images and the red light coming out from the headphone jack. It's been intermittent but finally wouldn't go away so I figured I'd contact Appe.
This afternoon I called Applecare and was advised to take it to the Apple store... no questions asked, no troubleshooting steps, just told me to take it to the store and even offered to make me an appt. I was able to get an appointment at the genius bar same day (literally 2 hours after I hung up the phone). My wife took a ride with me and we headed down there.
When I showed the technician she tested it and then went to the back room to double check something. When she came back she told me that it was hardware related and needed to be sent in for service. I am under warranty so it was no skin off my back but I will need to be without the machine for a few days.
I agree with Rod to take it in, esp. if you're still under warranty. I should also mention that this only started happening a few weeks ago but the red light part was rather sudden.
Good luck!

Speakers not working have a red light

i can hear out of the head phones but the interal speaker will not work

If you're seeing the red light, that means your MacBook thinks there's a digital audio device attached. If replugging and unplugging your headphones don't reconfigure the switch, you can use a toothpick or--carefully--a paperclip to toggle the switch yourself. It's halfway in, on the 3:00 side.

After upgrade attempt for 8310, device will not restart -- only blinking red light

Problem: I tried to upgrade the device software to 4.5, and now THE DEVICE WILL NOT RESTART AT ALL. Not with a hard reset. Not using the SIM and battery from my 8310 and putting it in hers. Nothing. Just a red light that blinks in a pattern: two quick blinks, then a pause; two quick blinks, then a pause, etc.
Background: This 8310 had vers. 4.2.2 device software, and something like 2.6 on the desktop. I downloaded/upgraded to 4.6 for the desktop and 4.5 for the device from the AT&T site. The Desktop manager prompted me to install the new device software... looking good. After several minutes, I got an "unknown error" message and it stopped the install.Following a support article, I uninstalled reinstalled both updates, but then the problem occurred: no NOTHING happens on the device screen at all, just the blinking red light when the device is plugged in.
The AT&T store tells me this is about the tenth "dead" Curve he's seen in about a week, apparently all occurring when folks have attempted a software updgrade. Any thoughts/help to offer?
Please help!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
Good luck and let us know!

"Itunes helper is not running" has a red light on under the Support services catergory of device connectivity test during Diagnostics check

When I ran the itunes Diagnostics Test for my new ipad, I had one test result that had a button in front of the test name, which was red.
The test was in the Device Connectivity Tests Portion, under the Support Services Category, Titled " itunes Helper is not running ".
What does this mean and how can I correct this situation, so the itunes helper is running?
Thank you vtdubu

HP Pavilion 15-n034sa Notebook PC not powering up and charging light not coming on

Two weeks ago my daughter's laptop would not switch on. The charging light was on and the power light was blinking. I looked this up on the internet and the suggested solution was to remove the battery and power on which worked. Now when plugged in the charging light isn't on, the power light is not blinking and the laptop won't switch on. I've tried my son's charger which is compatible but still no luck. Any ideas?

Is the daughter's laptop under warranty? Failure sometimes comes on slowly and at first a kick in the pants like a hard reset can bring it around but it is only temporary until it finally fails. If you get no response when a known good power supply is attached it is almost certainly a dead motherboard.

Bold 9930 - dead and flashing red light

Bold - Verizon 9930, died with flashing red light, non-responsive. Can connect wtih loader, re-loading latest OS for Verizon (7.1.0_rel1737_PL5.1.0.429_A7.1.0.580_Verizon_Wireless) Load fails with "application loader was unable to connect with your device" when it tries to connect with the JVM. I have tried:- fully charged known good battery (tested in another 9930)- wiping device- start without battery, insert battery when JVM message comes up- both BB desktop and Loader directly- two different PCs (no change)- different USB ports- older version of BB OS for device- many, many iterations... All end with "application loader was unable to connect with your device" Is the device scrap? If so why? It's not even 2 years old, out of warranty, and apparently now totally worthless. This one is the CEO's Blackberry, and he's not happy... If I can't resolve this, it will be the very last BB to ever see the inside of our company. This is the second 9930 to die this way in the last 4 weeks.

Firstly...

If you were hoping for a response from RIM, you have misunderstood the purpose of these forums. These are not a channel for any communications with, support from, nor escalation to RIM for anything. Rather, these are a user-to-user community of volunteers trying to help each other out amidst their own busy lives. So patience perhaps would be a good thing to have...

While you've already validated that your battery is good, I don't think you've tried the first part of this test:
Obtain a known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
While perhaps redundant to what you've already attempted, here are a few more things to try:

http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry
Since you are out of warranty, your next step I suppose would be to seek in-hand support from a qualified technician to give you a proper diagnosis. Doing such at this internet distance is quite a challenge and therefore cannot replace in-hand evaluation and diagnosis.
Good luck and let us know!

Playbook not powering up, not charging, nothing

My BB playbook is not powering up when placed in the charging cradle or when plugged into a computer. I have tried hard restart and all kinds of things - I am not even getting a red light.
is there any way I can get it restarted, rebooted, or something so that it can take a charge. I know it has to be powered up to charge - but right now nothing is working. Please help!

but is there a chance that my playbook is just finished ....:
Nope! It's just deeply and severely drained, and you'll notice references to that in the KB articles I linked for you.
This happened on one of my PlayBooks recently, and it too some patience and work...if it's not TOO deeply drained, you will begin to see some life eventually via the no battery icon, or a low orange glowing pulsating LED at the top of the device.
If it is VERY deeply drained, you will need to eventually use the PlayBook debricking method to bring it back to life. You will lose all media, pictures, etc., on the device however, if you have not made a previous backup.
Try this, while connected to your charger. Press and hold the Power key, up and down volume (-/+) all three buttons simultaneously, for about 10-12 seconds. You should the red LED blink and that should allow a reset of the PlayBook and to power up.
After charging 24+ hours:
1- Press the powerbutton for about 20 seconds
2- Charge PB for 2 minutes (use stopwatch)
3- Disconnect powercable for 8 seconds
You have to repeat step 2 and 3 total of 10 times. Then reboot by pressing power and + key for 22 seconds.
Other users have reported this reset their device and got it working.
You need to follow these instructions to "debrick" your PlayBook:
1. (skip this if the devce is dead due to no battery charge) Do a backup of your PlayBook using your computer and BlackBerry Desktop Software version 7 installed. It can be downloaded from http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
2. (skip this if the devce is dead due to no battery charge) Unplug the PlayBook and on the PlayBook press and hold down the power button until the unit forces the device off.
3. With the Desktop Software still open on your computer and the PlayBook powered off, connect the PlayBook to your computer once again.
4. You should see an error screen from Desktop Software popup with the options to Retry, Update, or Cancel.
Very quickly choose the Update option.
5. All information will on your PlayBook will be erased and a reload of the Software will commence to install on the PlayBook.
6. Once this is complete your PlayBook will go back through the initial (as if new) setup wizard (entering the BlackBerryID, etc., and then you can perform a restore using Desktop Software to return your personal data from the backup. Applications which you downloaded from AppWorld won't restore, but they can be easily reinstalled using AppWorld > MyWorld section of AppWorld.

Satellite L500D - What is that annoying red light on front Panel?

Hello there,
On my L500D I have the normal five system indicator lights on the front panel of the computer base, where they are supposed to be. But then, to the left of these lights there is this annoying red light that is very distracting.
But what is even +more+ annoying that not one, +not one+ owners manuals that I have read makes any mention of it, +not even a hint+. The owners manual mentions the other lights in their diagrams, +but not this one+. :-(
Now, I'm assuming that it is something really simple, and I am publicly displaying just how blind or dumb (or both) i really am. :-) But for the love all things Holy, and before I loose all my hair, can somebody tell me just what that red light is? ?:|
And, while you're at it, maybe you can tell me how to turn it off!! That would be very novel experience at the moment. B-)
Don't get me wrong, I really love my new L500D, my best investment by far, and it goes like the clappers, and I would write a wacky advert jingle about it and broadcast it across the world... if not for that annoying red light. ;-)
Please Help! (i)

Thanks a lot, guys!
I told you I was dumb, or blind. I fixed the problem. The annoying red light is now gone. Woohoo! :D But just for the record, I checked Jeka's link and found it meantioned and shown just as he said. But then I checked my owners manual again, the one on my HDD, and I am afraid that it is not mentioned anywhere, and if by some quirk of fate that it truely is there, then it must be very well hidden. None of the diagrams show it at all. Just my luck... :-(
Anyway. Thanks again, guys, my problem is solved. :p
