Dv4-1365dx Caps and scroll lights flash 4 times.

When I turn on my computer, the hard drive starts but then stops. The lights on the touchbar (next to the power button) come on, but the screen does not. Then, the caps lock and scroll lights flash 4 times in sequence. My warranty expired last year, what do I need to do to fix my problem?
This question was solved.

If the hard reset suggested by Erico does not resolve the problem,
I think it is a hardware issue with graphics if the leds are blinking 4 times. Refer the following weblink:

  • Desktop Computer dc5750 shuts down and red light flashes on front of computer and won't start at all

    I have a DC5750 HP Compaq Computer it is 6 years old, but I have 4GB Ram, Nvidia GS8400 Graphics Card, two one TB Hard Drives. While I tried to re-installed my operating systems it all of a sudden shut down not once but twice, I opened up the side of the computer and found that it was hotter then normal. I let it sit for a while thinking it maybe over heating after hooking it back up I turned it on again nothing happened except a beeping noise and red lights flashing on the front. Can this be fixed as money is an issue.
    Thanks

  • Phone wont turn on and red light flashing 5 times with pause/s in between

    i was charging my phone, after 30 minutes i unpluged the plug from the mains and typed in my password. from there on the phone went completely blank and all i was seeing was a red light flashing. I charged the phone for 12 hours and now i cant see the red light anymore. The only time i see the red light flashing is when i use the usb or the phone charger. At the moment the phone is completely blank i cant switch it on. Also ive tried using the usb which didnt help my laptop doesnt recognise it neither does the desktop manager.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Without the use of the charging port, tests will be more difficult, and results less definitive. Nevertheless...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 please that "known good" and "new" are not necessarily the same thing...while rare, a new battery certainly can be defective. The best (and, btw, least costly) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
    If the result is that your BB is the issue, then you will need to seek out a local (to you) shop with a qualified BB hardware technician to give you a proper evaluation and estimate. If you remain in warranty, you could instead seek support under those terms (assuming your warranty is not void).
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Noise margin and orange light flashing on hh5

    Hi, I've had infinity 2 installed by an engineer a week ago and since then I have seen the hub disconnect lots of times and the orange power light flashes from anywhere between a minute and and hour with no internet access.
    I have checked the stats and I've got a noise margin of 6.1/6.6!! Could this be the reason why I cannot get a stable connection? What can be done about it?? Confused!!!!

  • Apple TV loses picture output and status light flashes rapidly after 5 minutes hooked up via HDMI - DVI cable

    Apple TV connected to a 2005 50" plasma monitor with DVI input via belekin HDMI to DVI cable.  Unit worked perfectly long enough to get it connected to the wireless network and begin the itunes registration process when there was a loss of signal message on the screen from the monitor and the Apple TV status light flashed rapidly and continuously. Reset and reboot yeilded flashing rapid status light and no output detected from the monitor.  I contacted support online and was told to return the unit to the apple store.  I returned home with another brand new apple tv and connected it in the same manner with exactly the same results.  Is there something with the HDMI - DVI interface that is causing this?  Are there known issues with the HDMI - DVI connection to Apple TV with older plasma monitors?

    The Apple TV doesn't actually support DVI. Some have managed to get it to work others have had varying issues with it.

  • HP 6940: carriage stuck at left side, resume and power lights flashing

    I've used this printer under ubuntu/linux for about 2-1/2 years. Color printing has always been a challenge, I get about one usable page per 5 test pages. About a year ago, it stopped printing; hp-info (part of the hplip package) said the color cartridge was defective. I was able to get black&white printing by removing the color cartridge.
    This week, I had to print some stuff in color. I pulled the color cartridge out of its ziplock, re-installed it, and ran a quick cleaning. A test print showed that wasn't enough, and I ran a full cleaning, after which I was able to print a good test page, and then one page of my job.
    When I tried to print the second page, nothing happened, and the resume and power lights started flashing. I cycled power on the printer (I have to do this very frequently, even for black and white jobs), but it didn't fix the problem. I pushed resume, but no dice. I pulled the back cover to check for paper jams: nothing jammed. Replaced the back cover, pulled the paper from the tray: nothing jammed. Replaced the paper in the tray. Pushed resume again: it made noise, but didn't clear the problem.
    I opened the lid, and the carriage was all the way to the left-hand side. Pushed resume: a small plate in the loading dock at the right-hand side moved forward and then back, but the carriage stayed at the left-hand side. Tried (gently) to move it to the right, but it's firmly in position.
    hp-info now says:
    "status-desc                   Paper or cartridge carriage jammed"
    The color cartridge is an HP cartridge, and came with the printer. The paper is HP paper.
    Any suggestions?

  • HP Officejet 6310xi won't print - keeps blinking "reset power" and all lights flashing.

    I have an HP Officejet 6310xi that won't print.  When you select print, the paper begins to feed then suddenly stops before any printing begins and all lights on the face of the printer begin blinking and the message "RESET POWER" blinks in the screen readout of the printer.  When I turn printer off and back on, the screen indicates a used color cartridge is inserted and I hit OK, then indicates used black cartridge is inserted, then I hit OK, then it says it needs to align cartridges, I hit OK.  After trying to align cartridges, it suddenly stops and goes back to all lights flashing and screen flashing "RESET POWER".   I can hit cancel during cartridge alignment and printer goes to normal ready position.  I can then print a test page.  But as soon as I try to print anything else, even the diagnostics page, it goes back to flashing all lights and "RESET POWER".  I did a semi reset (unplug, wait, plug in holding #6) and a full reset (with #9).  That did nothing except wipe out the date on the screen read out of the printer.   So I know the full reset executed correctly but it did not solve my problem.  Please HELP! I am reposting with email me selected - I'm new at this posting to forums...

  • Satellite L500 is OFF and green light flashes if connected to mains

    HELP!!
    I have a L500 which does nothing apart from the green light flashes when the power cable is plugged in but does nothing else

    Hi
    What indicator do you mean exactly?
    The DC indicator (first from left) glows green when the power is being correctly supplied from AC adaptor. If the output voltage is abnormal or if the computers power supply malfunctions this indicator will go OFF.
    The other indicator (power led second from left) glows green when the computer is turned on. If you turn the computer off into sleep, this LED starts flashing amber.
    Furthermore if there is a memory malfunction the Power LED will repeatedly flash
    On for 0.5 sec and off 0.5 sec
    If there is an issue with slot A the LED flashes amber twice then green once
    If there is an error in slot B, the LED flashes amber once then green twice
    If there is error in slot A and B the LED flashes twice amber and green.
    But if the power LED flashes only green, I assume there is a motherboard problem.

  • Unit crashes and white light flashes very fast and tv screen goes blank

    Apple TV crashes after a half hour of viewing and white light continues to flash very fast and tv screen goes blank

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • [SOLVED] Kernel Panic - caps lock and scroll lock flashing

    So I just spent a whole bunch of $$$ on a new desktop, and a couple of hours putting it all together, now I can't get anything except kernel panics when booting the Arch install CD
    Hardware:
    Core 2 Quad Q8400
    Gigabyte EP43-UD3L
    8gb RAM
    2 x Seagate SATA 160gb
    2 x Seagate SATA 1tb
    So far I've tried:
    - Arch ISO 2008.06 and 2009.02
    - Fail Safe Defaults in the BIOS
    - 'noapic' boot option
    - HPET in 32 and 64 bit mode
    The strange thing is that the panic comes at various stages - sometimes before the init scripts start, sometimes after, and also during boot it complains about errors with fd0 - except there is no floppy drive.
    Any ideas folks?

    Urgh, appears to be bad RAM... Running memtest and switching sticks in and out only shows errors with one particular RAM stick installed. I'll leave this stick out and try installing Arch again once the current memtest pass is finished.
    I'd have expected better from Patriot!

  • Curve wont start and red light flashes

    I was on my way home on the train and running low on batteries, but thought i had enough to quickly browse the applications.
    I'd installed the free Time app earlier that day and checked it out, and it wasnt really to my taste, so I decided to delete the app. It warned me the blackberry would need to restart which was fine, only it turned off and didnt come back on.
    I thought it had just ran out of battery but now after four hours of charging, and plugging it to my PC the blackberry still wont start. My laptop wont even recognise its plugged into anything and every button I press just gets the flashing red light.
    Can anyone help? Is there a manual reset button on the device?

    Hello,
    I had this happen one time to my 8530... and I thought my heart was going to break. I'm an engineer so I have a bad habit of breaking and fixing, as I have learned that it's the best way to become an expert on any given piece of technology...
    Anyway, I was able to fix my Berry by attaching it to my Mac, and letting the computer load the OS on it. Make sure it's plugged in with the desktop manager when you boot the phone your desktop manager should prompt you if you want to reload the OS... 
    Basically that's what the flashing red light means... you corrupted your OS, and now needs a reinstall.
    It takes about an hour to do...
    Hope this helps!

  • 2005 PowerMac not starting up and power light flashing

    I have a 2005 Intel Power Macwhich I inherited from work when we got news ones. It has been switched off for a couple of months, and last nigth I went to turn it on and it sounds like it is starting up, but nothing displays on the monitor, and after a while the power light starts flashing continuously.
    The mac worked perfectly before I brought it home, and it's not been bashed or dropped. I tried to ask at the Genius Bar but they were no help because this is classed as a vintage computer. The guy mentioned it could be RAM, but I'm not sure I want to buy it just on the off chance.
    When I did a bit of Googling last night I found people talking about it flashing 3 times, but it's more of a consistant flash, and pretty quick.
    Does anyone have any advice they can give me, as I really need to get it working ASAP for a job.
    Just wanted to add that it's an old montior I have hooked it up to, whicj also worked beforehand, but this says that it can't detect a signal and something about video output. Just in case it a monitor problem, althoguh the flashing light makes me think it's the mac!
    Thanks in advance.

    I had exactly the same problem with a 8 year old Powermac G5 1.8ghz dual processor. Like you I researched the web and found the hairdryer fix however before taking such drastic measures (given this melts the solder on the ram chips to create a connection), I ordered replacement ram and was advised to replace the ram chips in pairs to see if I could detect a faulty pair. In addition there is a reset switch on the mail board I was told to press prior to boot up.
    Despite my efforts I couldn't revive my Mac. This was last Feb. it's still sat in a corner, never been used since. I've just (today) taken delivery of a new iMac, please an you elaborate where exactly did you direct the hairdryer and or how long.
    Would love to get one last boot out of the g5 to do a time machine backup to an external drive to then restore to my iMac. Please let me know how you're getting along as I fear the life expectancy of your machine is limited. Backup, backup, backup. Good luck.

  • Gran Turismo 6 shuts down as and red light flashes

    Same problem here, also its happening in DUST 514. Only this 2 games crash my FAT PS3... I think its FW fault

    GT6 WITH OLD FATTYS!!  This is a copy of my conversation with support.  More people need to complainJessica W.: Hi, my name is Jessica W.. How may I help you?
    eric true: hi I have gt6 and an old backwards compatable fatty ps3, it keeps crashing turning the system off. I know its happening to a lot of people, what should I do?
    Jessica W.: I see, Eric. I'd be happy to look into this for you today. This game title shouldn't normally crash a PS3 system, unless the console itself is overheating/having trouble with the fan, or some other internal hardware.
    So we can best troubleshoot the issue and figure out a solution together, I am going to need the model and serial number of your console. Please turn your PS3 around and look for the white barcode label located on the back of your unit. Please give me all of the numbers located on that label beginning with the letter "C".
    eric true: hi sorry its not overheating, it is happening to everyone who has the new gran turismo 6 and the bwards-compt ps3.
    Jessica W.: I have not heard anything to suggest this is a common issue, but I would be happy to still troubleshoot your console to see if we can get it working. If it still has trouble playing your game, we can definitely set up your system for service.
    eric true: look on any forum about Gran Turismo 6, do you want the web page?
    eric true:  http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/gt6-continuosly-freezes.291270/
    eric true:  http://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/Gran-Turismo/Gran-Turismo-6-Bug-Reports/td-p/20309163
    Jessica W.: I can understand your frustration, however a small portion of the gaming community who posts about a particular issue online can make it seem like it's a wide spread problem when there are in reality thousands or millions of other gamers who can play the game just fine on all types of PS3 system. We have some older "Fat" models of PS3 here, that work fine with these newer games (including Gran Turismo 6).
    eric true: ok, mines not
    eric true:
    Jessica W.: So I can help you with this issue though, may I please have the serial number of your console?
    eric true: its a clean machine only with this game.  I've done a reset and everything.  I'm at work so I don't have the serial #  What would you suggest?
    Jessica W.: Ah, I see. When you say you've performed a reset, do you mean you've restored the whole PS3 system, and erased all your old data?
    eric true: yes, then held down the power button twice until it beeped 3 times
    Jessica W.: So you mean you've accessed Safe Mode, and saw a menu of 6 different options?
    eric true: yes
    Jessica W.: Of the 6 options, which did you attempt doing?
    eric true: and chose the 5th I believe, the guy on the phone support  yesterday told me to do that
    eric true: from your supportJessica W.: If you have already fully troubleshot your PS3  and restored the PS3 system "Safe Mode option 5 (on US consoles)," the only other option I would suggest is trying to vacuum out your console's vents of any dust that has collected there on the fan. You can do so using a vacuum with a hose attachment -- we don't recommend using canned/compressed air, as this can force dust further inside.
    Jessica W.: I would be happy to check on the steps you've already taken with our phone agent. May I have the phone number you used to reach us?
    eric true: Im hoping it will be an update,a patch, since its a problem only with this game, worldwide, which was released last week.  do you ways of checking that?
    Jessica W.: At this time, if you believe the issue is a software problem (and you have spoken to our software specialists/moderators on our community forums--make sure they're from  http://community.us.playstation.com/ as 3rd party sites are not Sony software specialists), you can definitely wait for a patch for the game itself.
    eric true:  yes but I'm telling you its only with this game, and this model ps3
    eric true: ok, thats what I wanted to know, do you know how I can find info on that?
    Jessica W.: Although I have no information from our company, SCEA (Sony Computer Entertainment of America) confirming if this is a widespread issue, there's no way for us to service your console from outside the US or troubleshoot further with the software of the game.  We don't have information on future patches either, as these would only be announced via the moderators on our forums above, or on our blog at  http://blog.us.playstation.com/
    eric true: ok thanks for your help
    Jessica W.: You're very welcome, and I do sincerely appreciate you checking in with us today. Thank you for contacting North America PlayStation Chat Support, and there is a brief survey at the end of this session.  Once we disconnect, please feel free to answer some questions regarding your chat experience with us.

  • Kernel Panic and monitor light flashes short-short-long-related?

    Greetings, all. It appeared my computer was free of its long-running kernel panics, and then the KPs returned. Before the KPs became an issue, the monitor started the short-short-long error warning on the power light. Is it >possible< that the monitor error can cause a KP? I ignored the monitor issue (the top half of the screen has faded slightly but didn't compel me to get a new one), and I do not have a spare monitor to connect to do a test.
    Thanks for your help.
    Vince

    It's hard for us to say. Best would be to run the Apple Hardware Test disk that shipped with your Mac, and see if it flags any hardware; monitor for example.
    Cheers!
