  • My power light continually blinks bu no error messages on PC

    My Deskjet 3745, after several years of satisfactory operation has suddenly stopped printing.  The power light constantly flashes, no error messages on my PC.  No paper blockages, ink cartridges OK. What could it be?  Will not print test sheets or any other diagnostic tools? Help!

    Hi @jonathonleslie,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! 
    I noticed that your HP Deskjet 3745 power light is continually blinking but no error messages are showing on the PC. I am happy to help you with this error!
    Please see this guide, Blinking Power Light, I would also visit this guide, just in case. The HP Product Stops Printing and the Power Light Blinks or 'Mechanism Error' Displays on the Comput....
    Hope these guides will help, and have a nice day!

    Click here for information; if the computer beeps three or fewer times, remove and reinsert the computer's RAM. If it beeps four or more times, it needs to be repaired. If it's a G5, it will ignore RAM modules that aren't part of a matching pair.

  • DV-6117dx - power light steadily blinking off-and-on and laptop won't work

    A little background:
    A couple of days ago, I shut down my computer because it was a bit slow (nothing new installed beforehand).  Upon a restart the next morning, I got a "log on initialization" error (with the laptop screen not working and being able to see the error message on an external monitor only).  Too many hours with Google basically says the only real way around this is to reinstall the system.  Fine.  I tried the minimized image recovery twice - error both times.  Finally, I tried the full factory reset.  That worked.  After the reset, however, came an endless series of issues. 
    - First reboot, keyboard and touchpad doesn't work so had to plug in external versions.  Moreover, the native monitor doesn't work so had to plug in my TV.  But the set-up for Windows did finish.  Once on the desktop, I tried to access the Window monitor/screen resolution menu to get image back onto the laptop.  Laptop beeped once and shut itself down with the power light (on the power button) steadily blinking but power button is nonresponsive otherwise.
    - Tried a BIOS reset and got the laptop to power up.  Went into safe mode with networking.  Everything seems to work fine.  Restarted into normal mode (shut down then powered up, actually).  Boots into Windows on the native screen.  Went into Windows Update and that caused the machine to again beep and shut itself down.
    - After a minute or two of steady blinking from the power button light, laptop powered on and looked like it went into hibernation instead of random shutdown.  Since the dialogue was still showing, decided to try Windows Update again.  Same result as last time with the beeping, random shutdown, and steady blinking.  This time, though, the machine hasn't tried to restart itself.
    At this point, short of buying a new machine, is there anything I can do?  I do have access to a CD that I'll try but want that to be the last resort since it means losing the recovery partition.  Besides, with the recovery partition working well (keyboard, touchpad, native screen, etc. all worked beautifully dring that process), signs seems to point to some odd hardware issue.

    I've run the full battery of tests allowed by my limited access. The only issue I've run into is concerning the BIOS, wherein it gave me a message about not being able to update/rollback due to not being able to read the BIOS image. Tried flashing it twice but failed both times. There appears to be some news on this particular front in that it might indicate an issue with my trying to restore the system so many times and confusing the BIOS instead of just some catastrophic failure.
    In other news, I did get into the BIOS menu and reset to factory default. For whatever reason, that allowed me get the minimized image recovery to work whereas it never did before. Performed the MIR. All went fine until just now when I tried to restart the system (after a massive Windows update).
    Upon reloading Windows, I got the same error that started this mess - Logon Process Initialization Error. Considering that an MIR is a pretty clean install and I only installed the essential Windows updates, I'm at a huge loss as to where this error is coming from.
    In any event, since there was no way to shut down the system, I had to do a hard shut down. There was a few minutes of waiting because, now, my power button is no longer functioning as it should - as in, it seems to only power on the laptop at my prompting when it deems necessary, not whenever I push it.
    Moreover, having just rebooted with a clean boot (disabling all but MS services), my screen and touchpad both shut down and an external monitor and mouse were required. This seems to point to a graphic card issue, but it's a weird issue since, unless I'm booting into Windows normally, I've never had an issue with either the touchpad or screen through this whole mess - even booting into Safe Mode, I only encountered this issue once and only during the midst of the mess when the laptop was undoubtedly a mess.
    At this point, I'll probably try to boot into this current Windows install once or twice more before giving up and installing a fresh copy of Windows (have a CD), losing my recovery partition. Honestly, considering the loss of the power button's reliability, this seems like it's just a brick that occasionally rouses itself to be more.  I'll report back with news of the clean install just in case anyone else ever runs into this special unicorn of a problem, but it appears my issue is a lost cause.
    Frankly, I'm just annoyed at HP at this point. Leaving aside the fact that the warranty seems to have started over a month before the laptop got to my hands, this laptop top is just a couple of months out of warranty. I don't expect hardware manufacturers to guarantee their products for life, but the hardest thing running on this machine was Office (well, SETI@Home for the last 2 weeks). It was sitting elevated on a desk for the entirety of its life, and the CPU barely ever surpassed 50% usage. Every month or two, the vents would get compressed air sprayed in to get rid of excess dust. The only hardware change was done before the laptop ever turned on and that was a RAM upgrade. What I'm trying to say is that this was a laptop that should have given me, at the very least, more than just a few months of out warranty in terms of usage, and even if it dies, it shouldn't have been some catastrophic failure as this appears to be.
    PS None of my blinking corresponds to the HP list of blink codes. It's my power button that's blinking, not my caps button light or wireless light or anything like that. And it was a steady blink off and on. Moreover, the blinking is no longer occurring since the successful MIR.

  • A665-S6098 Power Light / LED Blinks Once Upon Plugging In Adapter, Then Nothing. No Power Up.

    Title says it all. My A665 is completly un-responsive - other than: as soon as I plug in the adapter the power light in the front to the far left will blink / flash once, very quickly - than nothing. With the battery, nothing at all.
    I have done the 30 second power button deal and I even replaced the power button entirely (another problem it seems all A665 computers have).
    I have no clue what to do. Please help.

    you could try reseating everything (hdd, ram, battery).  Sounds like a hardware issue.  I see in your other post your looking to replace the motherboard.  swapping parts at this point is about all you can do.

  • Laptop won't start - power light sometimes blinks but not always

    Hi, My laptop has stopped powering up. Initially it did not respond at al, no blinking lights etc. I left it a few days then tried again. this time the power led flashed (not blinked!) orange. I took the battery out and the led blinked white though with no discernible pattern. Tried a hard reset and now the led has stopped responding at all whether the battery is in or not. I don't get any HDD movement, fans or other leds etc. I have had a problem previously with the power being shorted (mistreated by children!) and I ended up putting a new mother board and power supply in. This has worked fine for several months until now. model: 15-267saproduct no.F9F41EA#ABU

    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.

  • K8N Neo4 JPW1 Required? No Post, power light just blinks

    When I try to turn on my motherboard, it just shuts back down (1/10 sec.)  My SilenX powersupply doesn't have a 4 pin 12V aux connector.  Just the main 24pin and an 8pin aux.  So I'm guessing that's my problem.
    So this board won't post without the JPW1 Aux 12V connector?
    Plus does anyone know what it's trying to say with a blinking power led?
    I've unplugged everything external.  Just 1 OCZ memory stick plus the cpu cooling fan.
    What other PS's that is working with the K8N Neo4 Platinium?
    Thanks for any info.

    FastEddie: Thanks you for the update.  I wasn't sure if it was required, since the manual just says for stable operation.
    Tiresmoke:  The power supply is a top quality 600W, so with just the MB/CPU/1 stick of memory, no external devices I dought it's overloading.  Until I can get power to the Aux connector nothing is for sure.
    If people can post what brand/model of power supplies (has the 4 pin 12V connector) that works consistently with the K8N Neo4, that sure would help others.
    Thanks, -Joseph-

  • Unable to print wirelessly, printer status is offline???

  • HP C3180 power light won't stop blinking after wireless print (from PC)

    I've raised this issue in an earlier post - but maybe with too much verbiage.
    My PC prints wirelessly to a (raw Q on a) MAC which is USB-connected to an HP Photosmart C3180. When I use the driver for the 3180 on the PC (either with an LPR port or an internet port), the jobs are created with an "error" status, and never leave the PC.
    I've found, however, that the HP 550C driver (and a generic HP Deskjet) will work fine on both the LPR port and the internet port. The printing is exceptionally fast - but the power light continues to blink after the job is finished. I have to press the "cancel" button on the printer console to stop the blinking. Some sort of "handshaking" between the printer and the driver software is not happening, apparently.
    I also print from the Mac to the 3180 (foomatic/hpijs C3100 driver, usbtb backend) - and everything works fine.
    Any advice/information will be welcome.

    Sorry!! much ado about nothing. Since the HP Photosmart is not a PS printer, I have to use (for example) an Apple Color LW 12/660 PS as the driver on the PC (NOT a Windows driver) in order to print over the wireless network to the Mac.
    Phew! Printer software makes networking look like a piece of cake!

  • DELL A920 inkjet printer has a blinking power light

    Hi!
    I have a A920 printer that I think seems to suffer from some hardware problem.
    The printer software reports that there's a communication problem.
    The printer it self is trying to tell me something with its blinking powerlight, but I can't figure it out.
    When I open the printer-lid, it should center the ink-wagon for inspection or ink-refill.
    Well... it doesn't.
    When I power on the printer (with the lid open), there's a buzz from some small el-motor inside for about 3-4 sec's - then the power-light starts blinking - in regular pattern - aprox 2 blinks pr sec. .
    When I turn it off, the ink-wagon moves a small distance to the left, halts and returns to its parkingslot. This indicates that the printers internal controls are working to some extent.
    I have tried all the tips I found on Dells WEB - everything from disconnect/reconnect USB to delete printer object and let XP re-find it. And that is kind'a strange - all the time the software reports "connection problems".

    Hi Rserio,
    Thank you for reaching out to us. The issue can be caused either with printer board or the cartridges. - - You can try removing the cartridges and see if the printer light still blinks. if not then change the cartridges which should ideally fix the issue.
    If the issue still persists then please remove the power cable and restart the printer by plugging it back in.
    Even after this if the issue persists then looks like an issue with printer board for which printer needs to be replaced. However, this printer is obsolete and you can buy a new printer accordingly.
    Hope this information helps. Please reach out if you have any other concerns.

  • Blinking power light

    My Mac Pro 1.1 would not start, the power light would blink continuously. I read a previous post about reseating ram which I did without any change. I read on another forum that the blinking power is due a start up ram check that has found a problem so I removed all the modules (2gb x 8) and restarted with one module at a time and the next to last of course was the one that created the blinking light. It has been going bad for some time in retrospect since the Mac is faster with 12 gb than it was with 16. The module has a lifetime warrenty, will see how good the vendor is. NParr

    All OK after replacing the bad RAM. The vendor was very helpful (OWC). np

  • A15-S127 Laptop Blinking Power Light

    I just purchased a new power supply for the Toshiba A15-S127 (old) laptop I have. It was working fine yesterday, it booted up and I was able to do some disk clean-up from 'add/remove programs' to remove several unused programs.
    But today, I plugged it back in and the Amber Power LED just blinks and it will not power up.
    It blinks 4 short, 1 long, 2 short before repeating.
    I have removed the battery several times in-case it needed to be cleared.
    I was unsuccessful in finding anything in the help pages for this BIOS message. Does anyone know or can you point me to a link that tells me what this means and why it will not turn on?
    Thanks in advance!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have had it unplugged since yesterday, and the amber power light continues to blink.
    But, its changed to 4 short, 1 long, 3 short blinks.
    Anyone know where I can find the BIOS light blinking error messages on this laptop?

  • Blank screen on my iMac and blinking power light.

    Earlier today, my 20" iMac screen went completely blank, but I could still hear the fan working, so I'm pretty sure it believes itself to be on. I tried to restart it by holding the power button down, but it idn't work. Now, I can still hear the fan working, and the power light is blinking continuously. Can anyone try and help me out?

    The same thing is happening to me right now. For reference, I posted this thread as well

  • Why is the power light blinking?

    I've had some issues connecting to the internet.  I just replaced the cable modem and have it all set up.  I still don't have connectivity through the router.  I'm able to connet the computer directly to the modem and it works just fine.  But, I noticed that the router power light keeps blinking.  What might this be telling me?  Is the router trashed?

    Hello salin, the reason why you can't get online on your router because the router is not in good condition. The power light of your router should be solid at all times. There could be a problem with your router's firmware because the power is blinking. It can still be solve but you need to diagnose it first if you can still fix it because maybe it went bad already. To help you diagnose the router then try to follow the steps.
    > connect PC to Modem and download your router's firmware here.
    > disconnect PC from Modem and connect PC directly to the Router in port 1 (don't connect the Modem yet)
    > press and hold the reset button of the router firmly for 60sec while router is turn on and just release it after
    > unplug the power cord of the router and wait for another 60sec before plugging it back in
    > check the lights on the router to see if the power turn solid
       -if power light stops blinking then start updating your router's firmware and reconfigure your router
       -if power light is still blinking then continue the steps below
       > check if you can get an IP from the router.
          -if you can get an IP from the router (the default gateway should be 192.168.1.1) then start updating your router's firmware and reconfigure your router
          -if you can't get an IP then assign static ip to your PC. Use Static IP:192.168.1.10, Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0, Default Gateway:192.168.1.1 and just leave the Prefered and Alternate DNS empty.
          > ping the default gateway number. Click start and click RUN. In the RUN box, type CMD and click OK button. There's a black window that will open. Beside the blinking cursor, just type ping 192.168.1.1 and hit enter on the keyboard.
            -if you got this on the black window ping statistics- got 4 replies, 0% loss then start updating your router's firmware and reconfigure your router
            -if you got this on the black window ping statistics- got 4 replies, 100% loss or media state, media disconnected then that means your router is no longer responding and thus you need to replace it.
    How to update your router's firmware?
    > access the web page of the router and go to Administration tab and just below that click the Firmware Upgrade sub-tab.
    > browse for the firmware you saved in your PC and open it.
    > click the Upgrade button.
    > if Successful then just close the web page and reset the router for 20sec and just release it after. Turn off the router and wait for another 20sec before plugging it back in.
    > check the lights on the router. It should turn solid.
