DVR 8888 message after power outage. TV won't turn on.

Moved to the Xfinity TV and Equipment forum.

If the TV won't turn on that's a TV issue, all we can say is check the power cord, otherwise you may need a new TV. However if the box isn't progressing past the 8888 either, then the box may need replaced.

  • E4500 firmware corrupt after power outage

    Latest firmware with CCC corrupted after power outage. I reseet the e4500 several times and tried to reload the firmware and still no good. Only way I got it back up is to install the older non-CCC version 2.37. Strange all was fine until the power outage. Not sure if I should even bother to upgrade to 2.38 again.

    Yes, power outages may caused some damage either on the hardware or software of the any device especially if there's some activity going on inside the device the time of the interruption. If everything is fine with the old version then there's really no need to update it but if you've noticed some issues, better upgrade to the newer version so to fix any problems.

  • My AppleTV stopped working after power outage. Light is on and I rebooted and reset w remote but it keeps giving me a pic of the Hdmi cord like it is not recognizing the hdmi as being plugged in. I've unplugged it several times.

    It is in recovery mode. The picture is telling you to connect to iTunes via micro usb cable in order to restore.

  • Hyper-V - virtual machines don't start automatically after power outage

    Hi,
    I have a HP server running Windows 2012 R2 + Hyper-V. On this server, four VM have Windows Server 2003 R2, and one VM has Windows 2012. After power outage, 1 2003 R2 VM and 1 2012 VM are started properly, but the other three machines aren't. I've started
    it manually. All VM's have last version of Hyper-V integration tools installed, the option "Automatically start VM if it was running before the service was stopped" was chosen. I'm not very familiar with Hyper-V, so, I've investigated only Hyper-V-VMMS
    event log. There are some recurring errors:
    The Integration Services Setup Disk image could not be updated: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. (0x80070020).
    and
    Failed to get the disk information.
    But I think it isn't a clue.
    How can I clarify, why these machines aren't started automatically?

    Hi EugenBerend,
    Maybe it is related to system resources allocation during the start up .
    I would suggest you to configure a startup delay for those lower priority machines so that system
    can locate enough resource for them.
    Hope it helps

  • Lion server : local user account disappear after power outage

    On the server computer.After power outage I restart server the machine starts up ok.At login screen local user name disappear but there's others account same as client computer.I can log in to network account but can't log in as local.
    In sytem preference local user account is still there.
    I don't want to reinstall lion server .
    What can i do now?
    Thank you for your assistance.

    It sounds like the user directory is damaged. You might try booting into the recovery partition, running Disk Utility, and doing a Repair Volume (and maybe a repair permissions) on the server volume.

    So, my worst fear came true,
    I've droped my ihpone in the toilet and it was off. It went off before was able to pick it up.
    I've tried to dry it in rice and after two days it won't turn on , the only thing that does turn on is the flash.
    I want to know if i should send it to repair or if i should forget it cause it doesn't worth.
    Is there any tip?

    "It is most likely fried. You can exchange it for an out of warranty replacement at an Apple Store."
    how does this works ?

  • IMac won't boot after power outage

    I got a power outage a couple of hours ago. And now my iMac won't boot. When I power it up, it gets pass the white screen with the apple logo. The screen than turns blue with a spinning cursor. The cursor spins for about 10-15 minutes and stops but the normal login screen never appear and it won't boot into the desktop either. I just got a blue screen.
    I have boot into the install Disc1 and did the disk repair and premission repair but it didn't help.
    Any idea?
    Sidney

    Oh man, what a disaster!
    I tried to do an Archive and Install but the installation hanged at the end of disc 2 after running an iWeb script (according to the install log) with about one minute left. I have waited for two hours but it just hanged there with all the drives spin down.
    To make the problem worse. There was no way to quit the install at that point because all the menu items were disabled. The only way out was to power off. But when I powered it back on, it booted right into install directly asking for the disc 2. If I put the disc in it will install again and hang at the same spot.
    Disc 2 contains iLife. I know Apple wanted to make things simple but why can't they give me an option to skip it? After all, iLife was already installed.
    I finally got it working by booting from disc 1 and did a clean install. It took me all night to re-download all the updates and reinstall many applications. Fortunately, I have my address book, calendar, and most of my works backed up to .Mac so it wasn't a total lost.
    On the bright side. Now my iMac is working better than before. I used to have problem getting auto sleep to work but now it works perfectly. Safari also had problem accessing charts (but Camino was fine) in a few web sites like schwab.com. Now everything works.
    Lenn and David. Thanks for all your helps.
    Now I am looking for a better backup solution so that the recovery won't be this painful if disaster strikes again. Any suggestions?

  • Computer won't start after power outage

    After a circuit breaker was shut off the computer won't start. I cleaned out the computer and got the light to go green by putting a hair dryer to it.
    When I push start button and hold it up to 10 seconds it will not start.
    The computer is a compaq presario sr5130nx

    Typically what happens during a power outage is not good.  It can do strange things.  If it took using a hair dryer to get the green light on the back to come on, that is a bad sign.  HERE is a troubleshooting guide for power supplies.  Start with that.

  • HP Officejet 6500 won't print black after power outages

    We experienced a series of power outages last night. Now the black won't print at all. The print cartridge is fairly new, about a month old, scarcely used. All the color cartridges will print.
    I've tried cleaning the print heads and running the alignment tests, but nothing can produce any black ink. For a pure text page with just black lettering and nothing else, the printer goes through the motions but nothing is printed.
    I have a feeling that the power outages tripped it up somehow. Is there a way to undo this?
    thanks in advance

    @Kenteeple and @oli22  If you make a copy, will that print black?

  • Computer won't start up after power outage....

    We just had a power outage when our computer was on and now that our power is back, the computer won't start up. (I'm typing this on our power book!) I hold in the button on the back, get the "bong" and then the computer whirs for a while with a black screen and then just dies. What to do??

    You can, in addition to Barry's excellent suggestions, reset the SMU.

  • IMac won't go to sleep after power outage.

    My iMac suffered a power outage for approximately 10 seconds and powered back up after an extended start up apparently okay. That was until I tried to put it to sleep. Since this outage I cannot put the iMac to sleep. It simply does not repond to pressing the sleep apple menu item. It will shutdown though.
    In addition, Safari seems to have trouble opening the home web page. When it does it functions normally, however up on closing it does not close completely. Although the arrow (or triangle) under the icon on the doc disappears, Safari shows up in the force quit window as not responding. Force quitting Safari still does not allow me to put the iMac to asleep but it does let me shutdown.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated in getting to the bottom of these gemlins. Also other than a UPS, which I currently don't have, is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening in the future.

    Hi Barrovian,
    Yes, a power outage may cause system file corruption in some cases.
    Luckily at least it doesn't prevent your Mac from starting up.
    I would try to trace and repair as much as possible.
    -- Firstly, is it only one user account that is affected, or all? If other accounts are OK, then the system is not corrupted.
    (By the way, it is always safe to have at least another admin account ready, as you can see...)
    Preferences files: run Preferential Treatment or the plutil preferences feature in OnyX for example. Trash any .plist file that would be corrupted.
    It should be able to find the specific ones, like for example
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
    and
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist
    Caches: you can trash all this user account's caches. Use OnyX or equivalent.
    -- If the problem affects all accounts:
    After cleaning users and fonts caches and running benign within-Accounts troublehooting, and before starting to clear system and kernel caches,
    --> restart your Mac from the Tiger install DVD and run Disk Repair with Disk Utility.
    Repair again and again until it finds there were nothing to be repaired.
    If those multiple steps and their reboots don't fix yet, trash the system and kernel caches.
    Let us know.

  • Ibook won't power up after power outage

    Help! I had a quick power outage last night and now my ibook g4 won't even turn on. I have nothing from it. The battery lights come on. The charging light from the adapter is on when plugged in. The computer was on a surge protector and all other electronics attached to the same surge protector still work with no problem. There is NO response from the computer at all...not a peep.

    Hi doggiesam,
    I've had a couple of instances of this kind of thing, though admittedly not related to power outages. Try holding the power button down for several seconds, like 5-10 seconds, waiting a moment and then pressing the power button again in the usual way.
    If that doesn't work try a PMU reset:
    1. If the computer is on, turn it off. (Again make sure that it is really off my pressing and holding the power button as above)
    2. Reset the power manager by simultaneously pressing and then releasing Shift-Control-Option-Power on the keyboard. Do not press the fn (Function) key while using this combination of keystrokes.
    3. Wait 5 seconds.
    4. Press the Power button to restart the iBook
    Let us know how things go.
    Good luck,
    Adrian

  • Thunderbolt won't wake up after power outage

    This is more of me documenting a solution than asking a question...
    I have a Mac Mini Server connected to a Thunderbolt display and a 23" monitor through the HDMI interface. When I experience a power outage at my house, my Mac Mini Server shuts down (that's how I know there was a power outage while I was out of the house). When I power up the Mac Mini, it interprets the HDMI monitor as the main monitor and the Thunderbolt won't wake up.
    I've tried a bunch of different solutions (rebooting with the HDMI disconnected and only the Thunderbolt connected, CMD-OPT-PR PRAM reset, connecting the Thunderbolt to a MacBook Air) and nothing solves the problem. The Thunderbolt won't wake up.
    The solution is to unplug the Thunderbolt display for about a minute or two, then plug it back in. Somehow this resets the Thunderbolt. When the Mac Mini starts up again (with both the HDMI and Thunderbolt connected) it reboots using the Thunderbolt as the main display and the HDMI as the secondary (as is set up in my System Preferences).
    I haven't found this solution anywhere else on the 'net. Let me know if you have similar problems / solutions.

    Thanks, this was the only solution I found online that worked!

  • Mac mini won't boot after power outage

    I have a Mac Mini Server which runs all the time in my house. We had a power outage a couple fo days ago but I didn't happen to check the mac mini until today. I found it at the login screen, and proceeded to log in. Everything was slow and taking way too long. Finally it froze. I restarted, but this time I got to a grey screen with a progress bar (no progress shown).
    At this point one of two things happens - either it switches to a spinning wheel forever, or it just shuts itself off. I've restarted many times and it seems to randomly choose one of those outcomes. I tried resetting the SMC by unplugging, waiting, and then plugging it back in, but this had no effect. I want to reset the PRAM, but it doesn't seem to work, although that might be because my keyboard is not an Apple keyboard. I'm trying to get another ekyboard to try, but besides resetting the PRAM, does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Try booting to the OSX disk that came with the Mini
    and run disk utility and try Repair Disk on the boot drive.
    Also, if you have a bootable clone, try that.
    If you have another Mac, another thing to try is
    getting the Mini to start in Target Disk mode and connect
    via Firewire to the other Mac and try a repair disk that way.

  • 865PE Neo2-PFISR problems after power outage

    I need some help with a problem.  A recent power outage while my supposedly "surge protected" 865PE Neo2 based machine was running, apparently messed something up.  After our power came back on, I powered it back up and discovered that I now have 4 ongoing problems.  Problem 1) it now hangs twice during the boot process, once at "auto detect 3rd master - press escape to abort", which if I then press ESC, it then moves to "auto detect 3rd slave - press escape to abort" and hangs there until I press ESC, at which time it then finishes booting like normal.  (by the way, I don't even have any 3rd master or 3rd slave installed)  Problem 2) I can no longer enter the Bios setup, even though I press the DEL key at the appropriate time.  Problem 3) The case light for hard drive activity stays on constantly, even though the drive seems to be working normally without any other problems.  Problem 4) A few issues here.  My sata dvd/cd combo drive is no longer recognized as being installed; the activity light on the drive is constantly on even though the drive is not running; the drive bay will no longer open.
    I'm guessing that something has possibly been damaged on the motherboard or maybe the bios was affected somehow, or maybe the power supply was somehow damaged.  Either way, I'm not sure what to do now.  With the exception of the problems I listed, my system otherwise works normally as it always has, with the only real downside being that I don't currently have a dvd/cd drive.  I haven't tried any troubleshooting myself because I'm not sure where to look or what to look for.  The specs for my system are listed in my signature, with the only change being that I'm still running the original Antec 350w power supply that came with the case.  I could sure use some expert advice and help with this.

    Problem Update.
    Well, I finally got my machine up and running "almost" as good as it was before my power surge problems.  Thank you to everyone that responded with advice.  I ended up replacing the Antec 330w TruePower psu with the new Enermax Noisetaker 420w (EG425P-VE SFMA V2.0) that I had, and I had to replace the MSI sata combo drive (went with a Pioneer 710 DVD-RW, which is an excellent unit) and now things are back to normal.  Plus, I bought an APC 650VA/390watt battery backup with soft shutdown to help prevent any power outage problems again.
    When I said "almost" as good as new, that is because this morning when I booted up, all I got was a black screen (no post) for a couple of minutes, and then a message appeared that approximately said "the dram timings are too tight, reload timings", or something like that.  Well, since the timings have never been changed, I'm not sure what is going on, but after turning it off and then re-powering it up again, it booted (though slowly at first) and I've just been letting it run all day.  Ha, just when I was ready to venture into OCing this rig.  Think I will anyway.  If the problem continues, I'll be back seeking helpful advice again.
