Focus assist light wont turn off

This is the second time this has happene d and I am really frustrated.  I placed my new Nokia 1020 in an arm carrier while at the gym and at the end of the workout, the focus assist light was on and I could not turn it off. The pressure of the spandex sleeve must have cuased some buttons to be pressed in some odd series or something.
To solve the problem I performed a soft reset, a hard reset, let the battery completely run out, and the light was still on.  I finally gave up and returned it to the store for a replacement.  I got a new phone and had the same problem occur today.  So it is my fault for making the same mistake twice, but I had a Nokia 920 for two years and placed in the same carrier hundreds of times with no problem.  
Does anyone know how i can resolve this?  I really love my Nokia phone, but am going to abandon the platform if this does not get resolved easily.  My wireless carrier is a nightmare to deal with on issues like this. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Same happened to my sons Lumia. The light was on for 6 months until he finally smashed it up at a party (accidentally). And the problem was due to moisture. Happened when he was camping.

  • Lumia 1020 focus assist light wont turn off

    lumia 1020 focus assist light wont turn off. i've done a hard reset and a soft reset. ive also drained the battery but the little round light continues to be turned on .
    i checked and it looks like ive still got warranty from nokia. will they still honour the warranty if ive updates the software?

    I have the same problem, I tested everything, hard reset, soft reset, using recovery tool to back to Cyan version, still the light is ON..  what is tyhe problem, it is ridicolous that Microsoft/ Nokia do not give an answer to this problem as many users have the same problem........

    Hi, alekswithkz. Just to verify, when you say hard reset, do you mean: Settings>About>Reset? If yes, you can try to download and use the Nokia Software Recovery Tool before considering sending the phone for repair.

    If the issue remains, it's best to have it examined by an authorized Nokia technician. This will also determine if the repair will be covered under warranty. Warranty period starts on the date of purchase. Please bring your receipt for warranty verification.

  • Apple wireless keyboard caps lock light wont turn off

    I have an apple wireless keyboard that came with my 2011 imac and up untill last month the caps lock light wont turn off even when i turn caps lock off and its draining my battery. usually the keyboard will turn off whenever the computer was off but now i have to turn the whole keyboard off everytime im not using it to save battery.

    It is probably faulty.  If you are close to one, I suggest you take it to an Apple store for diagnosis.

  • Light wont turn off

    Hi - my Iphone torch has been on for hours I have reset the phone, turned it off, completely wiped all info on it and its still on? Any suggestions?

    Hi I tried that but eventually contacted customer support who went through many resets and eventually restoring factory settings - light still wouldn't turn off so I have been to the Apple store who replaced the handset!  Although, they did go through the whole procedure again even though I had a case number saying the phne was to be replaced.  Thanks for the reply.

  • Camera light wont turn off on macbook

    I turned my laptop on this morning and the glowing green light next to the built in camera was on. There are no applications or websites that use a camera open. I restarted it but the light is still on. How do I turn it off and why might it be on?

    Click your Apple  top left in your screen.
    From the drop down menu click Shut Down.  (Do not click Restart)
    Wait about ten seconds then startup your Mac as you normally would be pressing the power button.
    Then see if the camera light is still on.

  • Ipod shuffle 2nd gen wont turn off

    my ipod shuffle wont turn off! it is 2nd gen i think it is silver with clip on on the back. when i pause it it will pause but when i turn switch to off green light still flashing and will still play if press play button any ideas? or do i buy another one . it is about 9 months old.

    thanks for your reply. in the end i took it to an apple service centre and coz it only 8months old got it replaced for free in two days, seeing as im in darwin i was quite impressed!!. i agree it is made cheap but i use it for the gym and no other portable music player is equipped with the clip on the back which is the most simple design feature and no-one is catching on. have seen the new one , which looks brilliant, if my replacement craps itself after its 1 year warranty then i will just get the new one. thanks again for the reply.

  • Gt60 ond NB wont turn off

    Hello all
    my NB gt60 OND wont turn off normally.... after the windows shutdown the screen goes black and the LED light of the keyboard is on with the light on the power button after that i need to force it... at first i thought it was the bios so i flash it to w8_E16F3IMS.70X (the NB came with w8_E16F3IMS.50X) but the problem is the same .... then i suspected it was the windows so i install the factory window but it continue.... so then i format all the disk and still have the problem.....
    please anyone has a solution for my problem or i just keep forcing it to shutdown? but i think it is bad for the NB..
    thanks in advance..
    ps: sorry for my bad English it is my third language.

    So I am back after testing all memory stick individually with MemTest86 v4.3.3 ( Dos version ) . All are fine according to the test.
    After successfully installing Win7 x64 in Legacy mode, I was able to shut down the laptop but with a 15 seconds delay with a frozen ''Shutting down'' display in the Win7 background. ( spinning wheel was frozen ).
    However, I did try the full sleep mode but wasnt able to get it out. It looks like its behaving just as the Win8 installation ( both EUFI and Lecacy ). Freezing on the Amber light. Its not that I can get out. Its not fully entering the sleep mode. I would presume that in hibernating mode the light would blink slowly showing the OS is powered down but laptop still receiving power. I need to hold the power to shut it down manually.
    So we are back to square 1. Imo, the issue is from the motherboard but its not necessarly defective. Might need a BIOS upgrade. One Thing I've noticed ...was that if the windows installation has the keyboard light software installed, the keyboard stays on when the laptop if frozen trying to shutdown ( blackscreen ). As Luigi said , I can Activate and desactivate the GPU Fan and turbo ( like Luigi ) when in that state.

  • New BT keyboard wont turn off

    I may be being a bit stupid here but my keyboard wont turn off. i press the power button on the side but when i press a key it works. i noticed the battery level got very low even though ive only used it for a few days.
    any help would be most appreciated, as i dont want to have to take the batteries out everytime,

    This is normal. To turn the keyboard off, you press and hold the power button for several seconds (about 4-5 seconds). When powering the keyboard back on, the green light will turn on for a few seconds and then will go off (not sure why the light goes off...to conserve battery?). Even though the light is off, the keyboard is actually still on. According to the documentation, the keyboard will go into a standby mode when not in use. It will "wake up" when a key is pressed. However, as mentioned above, to physically turn the keyboard off, you press and hold the power button.

  • Blackberry Classic wont turn off or on

    Have a Classic, the red light is flashing once then 6 times fast then repeats. It wont turn off or on?

    Looks like a problem with the battery.
    With other models you could remove the battery and place it back again, but here... more difficult to perform!
    Maybe you should consider to bring it back for service.

  • Iphone 4s wont turn off

    OK so I was watching a TV show and I noticed my wifi wants working on the screen (it was on 4G) . So i thought, why not restart it so maybe it will work again, thinking nothing of it. I held the button for well over 30 seconds and still nothing. What do I do. I already had problems on my phone (it would randomly turn off and I would have to reset it by holding the power button and home button for 10 secs). But not that problem is not happening anymore. So almost like a trade off, but it is worst. So it wont turn off and the wifi wont work. Any suggestions would b

    Use Assistive Touch until you can have the iPhone evaluated for Warranty Coverage fix.
    Settings App>General>Accessibility>Assistive Touch>Turn it ON.
    Use the new screen White Button, select Device>touch Lock Screen, this will turn OFF Screen.
    If you touch and hold the Lock Screen button for 3 seconds it will give you the "slide to power off" slider so you can turn OFF your iPhone. To turn iPhone back ON, connect to Wall Charger or USB.
