Charger Light keeps Blinking. (red green red green)
hi I just noticed this yesterday.
When my battery is fully charged, the light on the charger does not remain green. It will switch to red for a second and another second it goes to green again. It has been doing this for a whole day already. What's wrong with it?
I know the charger is still fine, because it doesn't blink when the battery isn't full and my laptop is still working okay.
thanks so much!
Check your power adapter plug and port for any debris with may be preventing a tight connection or blocking the pins from extending fully.
Alternatively, it may be a problem with your SMC, which you can reset as described here.
If that does not do the trick, it's likely a faulty power adapter, and I'd recommend a call to AppleCare.
Hope this helps...

I have a first generation ipod shuffle and the light keeps turning from orange to green and blinking back and forth. What should I do?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have had my Ipod shuffle 2nd gen pluged in for approx 6hrs and it is not charging. Keeps blinking orange. Do I need to regester it. Actually I have 3 that have the same problem. santa Claus brought them for boys all three of the same and all have the same problem
Actually the blinking light does mean that it is
still charging. Read the "Quick Start" guide again.
I'm having the same problem and even after "Safely"
disconnecting it my iPod won't work because it is not
charged.
Ummm... since you are aware that it's charging WHILE even while the orange LED is blinking, are you allowing it to do so for 4-6 hours, or more? The 4 hour charge time Apple quotes is a rather optimistic estimate... To actually check battery charge status you must remove it from the dock AND cycle the ON/OFF switch; the status LED will show green, orange, red, or nothing to indicate charge level.
I can't believe so many people are having the same
problem. I find it hard to believe this many people
have the same problem and Apple doesn't post a
solution for it. Is their product just that crappy???
I won't go there... -
Amber light keeps blinking. I have been unable to set up wireless and never get a green light. Connection to internet works via cable to the Airport base station. I have done numerous resets and with power on off cycle per instructions on page 29. This is a brand new unit, arrived today, so it has never been working. I have hit the reset button both with power on and while powering up. Did a firmware update too. Still no luck. Is this a defective unit since it will not reset? I have also done complete resets with the DSL modem cycled off and back on, Base station off and brought back to power, and MacBook Pro cycled on and off too.
Should I call the vendor and ask for a replacement?
PopadaveHello popadave. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
A persistent, flashing amber light indicates that any of the several potential conditions may require your attention:
o The base station has not yet been configured because it is new, or the reset switch has been set.
o You have selected a security configuration that is not recommended.
o One of several other conditions, such as a disconnected Ethernet cable or invalid IP address has been detected.
(ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305101)
If you run the AirPort Utility, it will show an amber circle on the summary page next to the area(s) causing the problem. Click on this amber circle and it should provide an explanation.
Please post back what you find. -

Laptop won't start quickly but power wifi and caps lock light keeps blinking
Hi, it has happened before too but rarely but nowadays it happens on daily purposes.
When I switch on my laptop after leaving it for 8-9 hrs, it won't start up but instead power, wifi and caps lock light keep blinking. I tried removing battery and pressing power button for few minutes but nothing happens. Then i left it like that with lights blinking and after 15 20 minutes it booted. I did same yesterday too. I left it like that it booted after 20 minutes..so My question is "why is this happening? Is it a motherboard issue or is it because of cold moisturous weather here and laptop takes time to get warm up?" Should I show it to HP Service center?Hi @Nishant5788
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you are having a problem getting your notebook to boot up normally. As for what is causing the problem the blinking Caps Lock should tell us what is causing the problem as it should be blinking in a pattern. This HP document Computer Does Not Start and LEDs blink has a chart that will tell you what the blink codes mean.
This is most likely a hardware issue and you can give us a call regarding repair options. You can reach HP Total Care at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or start here if you live outside of North America.

I recently purchased the new 1gb i pod shuffle. the problem is that i left it plugged in to my computer to charge but when i safely removed it, the i pod shuffle went really hot and ten minutes later the red light started blinking and so i don't know what is wrong with it
My question is not necessarily that there is a red
light, but a series of green and orange flashing
light, followed by no sound of any sort. I've
upgraded the ipod and tried to down load new songs
and it simply won't play them. That is when it
flashes green and orange dots.
Alternating green and orange means no playable content (ERROR: No music loaded). Alternating green and two orange (10 seconds) means ERROR: iPod shuffle must be restored
Which are you experiencing? If the first, then you need to select one of the songs and click on File>Get Info>Summary and let us know what it says. -

BEFW11S4 - Internet light keeps blinking
I recently had to format my PC due to a hard drive issue. I Have Comcast internet service (CABLE INTERNET) and my router hooked up to my workstation,. I first unplugged my router before the format. Reformatted my PC and plugged my router back in. When I plugged it back in I saw a static bolt come from the plug head but it still powered on fine. The "Wireless" part works fine. My laptop can see the router BUT my internet lite keeps blinking when I tried to use the router from my wired PC. I checked all the setup but IM not sure what’s going on? Everything seems set up fine. The "internet" light is blinking erratically and I don’t remember it ever doing that. Is my router shot? PLEASE HELP! Ryan
well if the internet light is blinking that means modem and router is communicating with each other... if internet is not working through the router try following steps...connect modem >> router >> hardwired pc, reset the router by pressing reset button on router about 30 seconds, release the reset button and power cycle the n/w, power down the router and modem, wait for couple of minutes and power up the modem first once modem is rebooted, power up the router check whether it works or not, if it still doesn't work logon to router's setup page, open I.E. and in the address bar type 192.168.1.1, it would ask for username and password, put "admin" as password without any username, click on MAC address clone, enable it and click "clone" save the settings, power cycle the n/w... check whether it works for you, if you have any problem let me know.
