  • Deskjet 1050 ink light flashes cannot find a problem

    Every so often for no apparent reason ink lights flash and printer stops printing. In the past I have solved this problem by turning printer off and leaving untill it decides to operate. This time it is not working.

    The Blinking Lights document, describes conditions causing the error states, and may provide some help for you:

  • Ink light flashes and it just won't print Deskjet 5150

    Hi all,
    I have a deskjet 5150 and just had the printer cartriges refilled at a local shop here in my area. Since I have done that and before I did that, I have had problems printing. Sometimes it would help if I disconnected the usb cable and plugged it back in. Then the document would print. Lately, all that I get is a blinking ink light on the printer. Everytime I try to print, the computer just tells me that there has been a problem with printing. 
    Any ideas?

    Which light is blinking?  Are there any error messages on the computer?  Try printing with just a color cartridge installed, then with just a black cartridge.  The one that does not work is the problem cartridge, try removing it and cleaning the cartridge contacts as shown here.

  • 3120 classic- Screen LIGHT flashes with outgoing a...

    Does anyone know how to solve the issue of the light flashing/ flickering when a call is made or an incoming call comes...

    What's Worth Doing, Is Worth Doing Well!
    All "N-series" are incredible!

    if you can replace the battery, then open it and clean the display connectors.
    Water is bad for the iPod circuitry, when it dries up, it leaves residue, which is bad for all the electronic parts, mainly shorten the leads.
    Of course it is easier said than done, so perhaps a 3rd party ipod repair can do better.

  • CP1215 Ink Lights Flashing

    This color laserjet has 4 ink cartridges.  The lights for yellow and blue are flashing. It does not allow any more printing even if I only want to print black and white.  Any idea if I can reset the lights.  I`ve tried on off switch.  Thanks

    Hello esuccess,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community. Sorry to hear about the trouble you're having.
    If you haven't tried this already, I would suggest trying the following steps to reload your device software.
    1. Verify that your BlackBerry Device Software is installed on the computer. You can download it from your wireless provider's website in this list. http://bbry.lv/ad7CII
    2. Remove the battery from the BlackBerry. Do not re-insert it.
    3. Connect the BlackBerry to the computer with the USB cable.
    4. Navigate to the file path shown here for your PC OS. http://bbry.lv/nPyBiQ
    5. Open Loader.exe and follow the prompts.
    9. When you have clicked Finish and the application load starts, insert the battery into the BlackBerry smartphone.
    If you are unable to connect to the device this way to reload the software, you may want to contact your wireless provider again for other options.
    Hope this helps.

  • DSL light flashing, verizon tech fix did not work...

    And now the chat is down so I thought i would post my query here. basically I plugged in the modem and the DSL light just flashes green. I went to the router main page (192.168.1.1) to change the password and hit connect as told to me by the verizon guy in the chat. The main page says this:
    Please Connect a DSL Line.
    What can I do?

    If you just purchased your service, they might've not connected you at all like they did to me. DSL from them is not what it used to be.

  • Light flashes and won't start up

    the light flashes and Apple TV does not start up

    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)

  • Help with blinking ink light on printer

    I have a office jet printer and my computer states my printer is out of ink. I replaced the ink cartridges and the printer continue to blink on the ink lights and when I try to send something to the printer it keeps saying the printer is out of ink. I have tried turning it off and tried taking the cartridges out. I just don't know what else to try? Any ideas

    Hi @Cluelesst ,
    Welcome to the HP forum.
    I understand you are having a problem with your 6100 and ink cartridges. I would like to help you with this.
    Try going through the following document.
    An 'Ink Cartridge Problem' Error Message Displays on the Computer
    I know you said it says the ink is empty, but it still could be misinterpreting the error from the printer.
    Please let me know if that document works for you.

    If possible, please document the error pattern that appears on the LED display of the printer.  A letter and one or two numbers should be alternating.

  • I am having difficult problems with the FocusritePro14 it works for a few then the firewire light flashes it cuts in an out then my MacBookPro crashes and restarts what can be the problem?

    I am trying to figure out why this interface never works like it should, I have the lastest drivers 10.8 OS, The firewire cuts in an out and then crahses my computer, it was working fine for a good month, and then it does this. The people at Focusrite are clueless to what is going on. This is horrible engenerring  on there part. There are three lights on the interface they all light up, then half way through a recording or just lisiting to music, the FW light flashes and cuts out, and now the mac is rebooting when it does that. I highly doubt it is a simple fix, or a bad wire. I have the original cable for the interface that came with it, hooked up to a sonet adapter to fit in the macbook pro because the geniuses at apple decided that they would make that port small.
    Sorry about mispeling its 3 am here in Ohio.  Please can someone help
    Thank you
