Dx 5150 red blinking leds

Hello, My DX 5150 front panel led is blinking red/ beeping 5 times. It will not start up (the monitor has no signal). I tried reseating the memory cards in their slots with no change... I am clueless as to what I should try next. Thanks, CJ Yates

Hi:
It is a memory (primary cause) or motherboard failure.
Try running the PC with only one memory chip at a time.
There is a good chance one of the chips is bad.
If the beeping stops when you run with 1 module installed, keep testing each one until you get the beeps again.
Then you have isolated the bad memory module.
If the PC continues to beep no matter what you do with the memory, the troubleshooting guide then suggests the motherboard is bad.

8120 Pearl Black Screen, Slow Red Blinking LED. Data Recovery?

Hi,
I've been tearing my hair out for the last four or five hours (a drop in the ocean compared to some people with the similar problem I've read about), but I haven't given up hope of recovered my data - I'll happily condemn the phone if I could get just 5 minutes to copy the memo pad files and voice notes!
ANYWAY, here's the story:
My 8120 has been working fine. I checked it, put it back in my pocket. 2 minutes later, I took it out and got the slow flashing red light. I hadn't dont anything to it...no spilling, no knocking, no random button presses. Nothing.
So I tried to plug it into the charger - that did nothing. Same slow red LED flash and black screen. After 5 minutes I plugged it into my computer, first with the battery, then without. Exactly the same. My computer recognises it as plugged in when the light is on, and unplugged when the light is off - I've read this is common.
I download Blackberry Desktop Software. It kept giving me the message telling me to either hit retry or update every time the light came on. Retry did nothing, so UPDATE it was. This is where the interesting thing happens - it scans for software updates - this stops the phone flashing altogether and suggests I proceed with the update. I would do this, except when it suggests I back-up/encrypt the backup, these options are grayed out. My data is more important to me than the phone (I know, I'm an **bleep** for not backing up before, but what's not done is not done)
So, it appears if I do the update my phone will be wiped. Can anyone confirm this? Then I installed the BlackBerry Desktop Manager, and clicked on the add/remove apps. It did the same thing - seemd to recognise the phone and the LED went out. It told me how much space I had left on the internal memory - 22.2mb. I saw the internal memory is 32mb, so so long as the operating system isn't 10.2mb, it would mean my data is still on there?
SO for now I've decided to plug it into the wall and leave it for a few hours to see what happens. Can anyone think of anything else I can try? Is there any software or any other way I could rescue my Memopad and Voice Notes files? Sorry if this has been gone over again and again, but I don't know what else to do!
Many thanks,
Andy.

Hello andoak and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Usually, the black screen with the red LED blinking indicates there is a problem with the core software and it needs to be reloaded for functionality to resume.
If you are reloading the software and the options are grayed out to back up that usually indicates the data is not able to be backed up.
On a brighter side, if you saved your voice notes to your media card, they should still be there. As for the Memos, if you never backed up or synchronized with a desktop application, they are lost.
If you have email accounts set up, after the software reload completes, resend your service books as shown in KB15402 to resume email.
Hope this helps.

Red Battery LED keeps blinking

I have a Dell Mini 9 which has a battery that sucks. It can only last a couple of minutes without being attached before it dies. Anyways, I didn't really care about this until I installed 'acpi' so I could get information about my battery and temperature sent to me.
But since then the red battery LED has just kept blinking. Even when the adapter is plugged in. Its been blinking for the past two hours now... I'm not sure what its trying to warn me about but its irritating. How can I turn it off?
I'm not sure what information to give in this case, so sorry I don't have anything in this post for you guys. But I can pull up anything that will help fix this problem.
Thanks.

A couple minutes? That seems strange.
Try:
cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info
This should give you some info on the battery and possibly tell you if the battery is bad or not.

Help with Curve 9300...just quit, only blinking LED!!

I just got this phone due to AT&T take over of Alltel....It has only been activated about a week. I was in the process of syncing from my computer to the phone, and the desktop manager prompted that the device was not on....I looked and the screen was black, with only the red LED light blinking randomly in the upper right corner. I have removed the battery for as long as ten minutes and still NOTHING!
Previously, when I plugged into the computer, it immediately popped up on the computer screen....now it does nothing....I have tried to hold the green "call" button down....nothing....just the red random blinking LED light !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can someone help please??

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain a 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.
Good luck and let us know!

Lcd blank and red blink one times pause then blinking 4 times

can someone tell me what my problem and can fixed it? my blackbery q10 red blinking one times pause then blink 4 times again and again.. its problem with ic cpu? or ic power? thank

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does

The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
Good luck and let us know!

Red Power Led after Satellite L755 was shut down

Hello.
After I shutdown Windows and notebook is power off then red power led appears.
It doesn`t blink.
What does it means?
+Message was edited: model number added in subject+

Do you mean Power indicator (the second from left) or DC IN indicator (the first from left)?
The Power indicator normally glows white when the notebook is turned on.
If the unit goes into Sleep mode, the LED would flash amber.
The DC IN LED glows white when power is supplied correctly.
If the output voltage from AC adaptor is not OK, the LED flashes amber.
The meaning of Red indicator isnt known to me but I guess its hardware related issue

Losing your blinking LED

Those of you that have to restart occasionally to get back your blinking LED this might help.
I had this issue for months. I noticed I would lose mine shortly after getting a notification from Accuweather. After I disabled the notifications I had to also do it to facebook and twitter. Haven't lost the blinking LED in almost a month.
Good luck

Thanks for providing the info!

Red blinking light as well as trailing broken black line going in a square on left side

red blinking light as well as trailing black broken black line going on left side that goes in a square trail

Did you ever fix this? My daughters is the same. Treated with tender loving care, we reset to factory and it disappeared but was back again after 2 or 3 days. Still in warranty so going to take to the genius bar, however a bit concerned that because it belongs to an 11 year old they are going to assume she's damaged it.

MDS 9216 - showing red status LED, not starting up

Hi,
In a recent power loss (took out our R&D UPS in the process), an MDS 9216 we have in R&D failed.
On power up, it shows a red status LED, and does nothing. We've pulled and swapped PSUs (something we're told is a common fix for a common problem with these chassis), to no avail.
Strangely, we pulled the fan card (which had a green light), and put it back in to see it now also has a red status light.
We've swapped all cards around for new and spares (even the main cards) and they show up with red status lights in the chassis (can't test them in another chassis at present) so I assume this problem is with the chassis itself (ie the backplane or PSUs).
Any ideas, any similar experiences?
Many thanks,

As far as warranty, it would be covered for 1 year or 90 days from purchase....not sure which, but since the 9216 is end of sale for a few years now, I doubt that is covered under warranty. If you have a maintenance contract covering that 9216 serial number, then it would be covered. The design on the 9216 is that the module 1 is not field replaceable. There is no Cisco part number for the slot1 line card. It is a hybrid of a 16 port FC module with a supervisor daughter card. It is basically considered part of the chassis. If you have your own spare 9216 and feel energetic you could replace the slot 1 line card....but from the official support perspective, it is not replaceable.
There are no other replaceable parts besides the chassis and PS that would cause this problem. (I assume you have removed any line card from slot2 to be sure it was not causing the problem).
Thanks,
Mike

Red Blinking Lights on Photosmart 7760

I have a Photomart 7760 that is now starting up from power on, blinks 10 times "green", and then continuous "red" blinking. If I remember correct from another post, it said something about printer head. So...question is what does this blinking sequence mean, and how to I correct it?

Here is a link to a document you can follow for this issue:

Red Blinking Message Light Indicator Back to Green

On the BlackBerry Curve 8330, can anyone tell me please if it is normal once you receive any type of message, and the light on top blinks red, after about 15 minutes it goes back to blinking green even though I never checked my messages? You would think, especially with a BlackBerry that the light would continue to blink red until messages are checked?! Is there anything I can do to remedy this? Any programs out there third party or what not?...any free? Or is my phone defected? Thank you for your time and your input.

Yes the coverage indicator is on, I want it to blink green. Again, I want to know why the red blinking light message indicator goes back to blinking green after 15 minutes and does not continue to blink red until I actually go into the particular message folder? Thanks anyways for your help.

Red blinking light & phone is unresponsive (8100 Series)

I've had my Pearl for about 18 months and it's always been fairly reliable.
Yesterday it got wet for the first time (I suspect this may be the cause of the problem...).
Right away, I took out the battery and SIM card, dried the phone as best I could, and put the parts in a warm area.
Now all I'm seeing is a series of red blinking lights:
- blink, blink, blink (3 times, a half second pause, then)
- blink, blink (and a 2 second pause before it starts again)
I tried using a backup battery, and I tried it with and without the SIM card.
Does anyone know what this sequence of blinks means?
And, more importantly, how can I save my phone??

the three blinks, a pause, and two more.. don't know what the blink meant or why mine started.. I connect to computer via bluetooth and wasn't connected when it began. I came here for answers and very surprised bb doesn't have a tech rep providing help. & phone charged full the night before..
anyway, followed advice to disconnect from battery and reconnect in certain order while plugged into wall socket.. tried a few times with a few minutes of complete 'no power' each time. the light would sometimes flash when only the wall plug was in with no sim or battery. I gave up and left it connected to the wall socket with sim and battery in and flipped it over so I wouldn't get annoyed seeing the blink. left it for 30 minutes and it still was flashing. stuck it in my pocket went to a friend's house and checked when I got there 10 minutes later. still flashing. threw it half way across the room (carpet floor) and it booted up fine. is on now and I'm not touching it until tomorrow.
not suggesting anyone throw it, could break it, but it worked for me. likely in conjunction with topping up the battery. who knows. they're touchy.

Blinking LED lights (possible processor issue)

I tried to turn my laptop on today but I was greeted with a blank screen and 2 blinking LED lights. According to the code thing they have here it might be indicating I have a processor issue, is there any way I can fix this or am I screwed? I've gone through google and this seems to be a bit of an issue with certain HP laptops.
I'm running an HP pavilion dv4-2145dx with windows 7. My warranty is also gone.

Hi,
I think your machine has a serious mainboard malfunction. The solderings can be ok, but have you a microscope to check it like a high-grade technician or engineer? The other point is: It can be a malfunctioning resistor or capacitor or whatever, I personally think it must be something like this since the described error points on something of the power subsystem.
You can also try another thing: If you have your keyboard removed and could look under it on the mainboard, then you can try to disconnect a flat cable which must be located on the lower section before the handrest comes. Its not a thin rather a tall flatcable which should be for the panel in front of your machine (which is for the multimedia keys and so on) and disconnect it. Check whats happening, if nothing then you have def. a malfunctioning mainboard, if the machine starts then the front panel pcb is defective and must be replaced.

RED Blinking LIGHT

I used blackberry software updater to update my phone then it had to restart and it almost did except the it came to 100% and the battery died to it shut down then when I turned it on it would came on but a red blinking light comes on every other second. I don t know what to do somebody please help me

The red blinking light means that you most likely have a corrupt software because your downloading was interupted by a drained battery. You may have to re-install the software with the Blackberry Link by connecting your phone to the computer
