You might consider zapping your PRAM.

HPG72-250US Power Light Blinks, Caps Lock Light Stays On

So I have been having some problems with my computer, an HP G72-250US, that I bought a few years ago. Namely, the screen would get black and white lines on it and freeze: Here's a pic. What the screen looks like.
A friend of mine told me that it could be a problem with the fan, so I decided I would try to take it apart. After some success, I noticed the fan wasn't clogged or anything, so I put it back together. When I did, the power button only turns on for a half a second, then shuts off. It repeats this over and over again. I noticed that the Caps Lock light stays on. Doesn't blink, doesn't do anything.
I looked around online (using my wifes computer) and all I could find was the HP LED error codes, which mention the Caps Lock or Number Lock light blinking, but nothing about the Power Button Light. Could it be the same issue, a CPU failure?
Thanks for any help!
UPDATE:
So after watching my computer for a bit, the Caps Lock Light DOES do something. I hope I can say this correctly so everyone can understand it:
The Caps Lock Light is on, the Power Button Light is off. For the split second or two that the Power Button Light comes on, the Caps Lock Light goes out. The LAN connector also lights up when the Power Button Light is on. Everything is pointing to it blinking once, so I'm still thinking its a CPU problem. Any thoughts?

Apple wireless keyboard caps lock light wont turn off

I have an apple wireless keyboard that came with my 2011 imac and up untill last month the caps lock light wont turn off even when i turn caps lock off and its draining my battery. usually the keyboard will turn off whenever the computer was off but now i have to turn the whole keyboard off everytime im not using it to save battery.

It is probably faulty. If you are close to one, I suggest you take it to an Apple store for diagnosis.

Hi
I had the same problem and resolved it with a hard reset as follows:
1. remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter;
2. press and hold the power button for more than fifteen seconds;
3. plug in the DC power adapter (leave the battery out for now);
4. press the power button

Caps Lock light on MacBook Pro not working.

The light on my MacBook Pro's Caps Lock does not turn on when I use it. However the Caps Lock feature works fine and I don't remember changing any features that would make this occur. I checked the Modifier Keys under system preferences and all defaults are set. This is a 2010 MacBook Pro with OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.7.

It's possible that it's burned out.
I'd try a SMC reset following these instructions:

TS1381 wired keyboard: caps lock light on, but keys unresponsive

I have an extended, wired (not wireless) keyboard, and the caps lock light stays lit up, but all keys are unresponsive. Is the keyboard dead?

Hi, how did you resolve this. I have the exact same issue!

Wireless keyboard caps lock light goes out

I recently got an Apple Wireless Keyboard along with my new iMac. It seems that after a few days, the caps lock light stops coming on when it should. If i restart, the functionality comes back. Is that a software bug or a bluetooth bug, or neither? Anyone else noticing this problem?

You've posted this in the "Older Hardware Products" forum which mostly involves pre-G4 and the pre-wireless era stuff. I can't see an immediate alternative forum but I can't help think there must be a better one than this. On the other hand somebody with bluetooth, airport extreme, Intel Mac, and Leopard may wander through this museum someday and reply to your post.
Knowing nothing about wireless my question is does it lose the functionality or is it just the light going out? Weak battery (I suppose it must have a battery)?

Caps lock light

The caps lock light on my Macbook Pro is always off. The caps lock key works but the green led is not working. Any suggestions?
PS: The I already tried resetting the pram

Have you tried [resetting the SMC|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964]? Failing that, a trip to the Apple Store might be in order.

Why does caps lock light remains on when I turn off my macbook pro?

I had a problem recently come up with my MacBook Pro Early 2011 15 inch 2.0 ghz computer. The the caps lock light initiates at boot up. When I depress caps lock the light goes off but then only allows capital letters. All sybols associtated with depressing the cap button such as the "at" sign are screwed up. When I turn my computer off with safe mag attached, the caps light remains on. When I remove the safe mag, the caps light goes off. Any clues as to what is going on?
Thank you for your inputs ahead of time.

Hi Moe,
Sounds mostly likje a bad KB, do you have another to test with?
Or...
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

My caps lock light is not turning on no matter what I do. PLEASE HELP!

My caps lock light is not turning on no matter what I do. PLEASE HELP!

Hi lahiri,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that the Caps Lock key on your MacBook Air is staying lit as if the Caps Lock is engaged and you cannot turn it off. One article I would suggest taking a look at in this situation is attached below. If the information does not help you solve your issue, please let me know more about the situation. Are the letters you type in all caps all the time or can you adjust between upper and lower case using the Caps Lock key and the light just stays on?

My wireless keyboard is faulty. The CAPS lock light is permanently on and the other keys do not take any input. I have changed batteries, cleaned contacts etc. I cant even log on to the computer as its either caps locked or no input

Wireles Keyboard issue. CAPS lock light permanently on, when it goes off i cant input anything using keyboard

Begin by resetting the SMC and PRAM each at least 2x. If that won't work book an appointment at your local Apple Store or AASP. However before doing so, after you have done the resets (assuming they do not work) test another keyboard to determine if it's the keyboard or computer.

There has been no spillage and it has not been dropped.

Do you have access to a USB wired Apple (or maybe even a PC) keyboard?
That may be used to help troubleshoot the internal keyboard and on startup
be able to access (or see if you can) the System, and attempt to see about
troubleshooting. See if it will start in SafeBoot, (shift key held down just after
startup tone, if it runs in safeboot, then login to see if you can read system
logs in Console) and another idea may be to attempt to start in Recovery &
then attempt to use OS X Utilities there to see if you can verify and then to
repair the hard disk drive, and do some checks on the hardware.

Was the computer an Apple official refurbished unit bought direct from Apple?
Did you get an extended warranty from Apple - if it were directly bought there?
Usually these are online purchases from Apple Store; other companies offer
repaired or restored used computers and call them 'refurbished' or they may
have bought actual refurbished from Apple stock; these may be resold on ebay
or via amazon, and may or may not have a residual warranty of some kind.
In some cases the keyboard may fail due to some connection on the logic board
not fitting correctly, or some other loose wire; however if the battery may have
swollen, that could contribute to issues with both trackpad and keyboard.
A visit to an authorized Apple service provider is recommended, or contact the
seller you bought yours from to ask if they may offer suggestions or perhaps a
discount on diagnostic + repair if there is no warranty on the product.

Caps Lock Light Blinking Twice

hi everyone,
I have a hp Pavilion dm4-3011Tx with beats which is about 7 months old. Yesterday I woke it up from sleep and the keyboard lit up and the caps lock light would blink twice every few seconds. I held the power button down and rebooted it and when it started up the fans were running and the light was still blinking. I tried a hard reset and everything and several hours later it started again randomly...A short while later it happened again and this time I was unable to fix the problem. I have already read that it a Bios corruption but I don't know what that means. Can anyone help? Thanks. I have already tried doing a hard reset, taking the battery and the plug out, pressing the windows key and b while turning it on. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

This is for anyone who reads this forum in the future. A corrupt bios fix can be simple or a pain in the butt so stay calm and patient. I've read forum after forum and had any luck with any of the suggestions people have come up with. One way(the easy way) is to power down if you havent already. Remove the battery, and charger if plugged in. Then hold the power button for 30sec, this drain the laptop of any excess life in the computer. Once done, place the battery back in its designated place, and connect charger again if needed. I've heard this has fixed some peoples issues. If you're having my luck, it will be a little harder to fix. Nothing I read helped at all, so i had to rely on my own smarts. Now I'm saying this will work for anyone, but it did for me, so you can try, but im not responsible for any problems you may cause or come across because of it. This should only be done by someone with some computer know-how. What i did was remove the bottom cover of the laptop so i could get to the motherboard and other components. (Make sure power source is removed) This will take time, so be patient and be careful. You dont want stress any cables or circuitry inside the computer. Once you remove the cover, look for a small circular li-ion battery, this is called the CMOS Battery. This is the battery that powers your motherboard while the laptop itself is powered down. So while one would think that having your laptop off for long periods of time is fine, youre actually using up energy stored inside that small battery. Once you locate the CMOS Battery, remove it from the motherboard, remember to be careful though. Now wait about 30sec, thats what i did at least. Once time has passed, put the battery back in its place. After that re-place the the cover and anything else you may have removed. Once done, re-place the battery and/or charger and power on. This is what worked for me, it may or may not work for you, but let me know if it helped or if you have any other questions. Good luck everyone!
