Front LED Light Flash Once Every 3 Seconds

As what I read from the previous post, the front LED light flash once every 3 seconds meant that rams were not installed. However, I can turn on the G5 (Tower) couple days ago. After I came back from vacation, it did not allow me to turn it on. In addition, I have already tried to reseat the ram, and it did not work. Any suggestion to fix this problem?

Hi Teddy, and a warm welcome to the forums!
After I came back from vacation, it did not allow me to turn it on.
If it was unplugged from the AC that could drain the PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan...
See which one your G5 has...

String of bad luck, caps lock is flashing once every few seconds

So lets start off with the beginning of the bad luck, first i was watching a youtube video and deicided to go make a snack b/c i was hungry, when i came back my compuuter had shut itself off, overheating wasnt uncommon so i checked the how hot the computer was over the processor and it was coo and not hot at all, so i turned it back on, and i didnt get a thermal shutdown message, so i was a little confused and started checking for the error, the first thing was the power, in which it said "9% availiable(plugged in, not charging)" so i first made sure it was plugged in and everything a bit confused, still did it, and then i googled it, and apparently i had to uninstall the apci from device manager, so i did the ~11 step solution that had helpe so many people, and then it still was like that, so then i used the HP assistant to check my battery, and i needed to replace it, but on the way i noticed i had "system updates" and such i was bummed i had to get a new battery(To put it simply, im poor) and decided to update my system at the very least, maybe the HP assistant was wrong and after the update the battery would register as good again, with little hopes on that(i knew that the chance was near 0%) i updated, and one of the updates were BIOS updates, so half way through downloading my sister decided to power-cycle our router, as our router is a pretty bad router and every now and then our internet would slow to the point of pretty much being non-existant, so then my computer resets i get a black screen and capslock starts blinking twice, i use my issters computer to google it, my BIOS is corrupt, so i use windows + b + the power button, to try and restore my BIOS, during it flushing my computer overheats, and now when i turn it on its a black screen with the capslock blinking once every few seconds, i havnt been able to find a fix, can anyone help me? also i should mention the tag on my HP is worn out pretty bad i can barely salvage any info off it which is pretty bad, all i know is that its an hp pavilion G4 with AMD radeon GPHX, and 8mb of memory

Hi there,
If you have a good battery or the batttery is good enough then try those steps , it may help :

1) Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed. BlackBerry desktop software
2) On your PC, go to Start > Run and copy and paste the following line exactly (meaning with the quotation marks):
"c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader\loader.exe" /nojvm
3) The Application Loader Wizard will appear -- click "Next."
4) In the "Connection:" drop-down menu, you should see "USB-PIN: UNKNOWN". Click the "Next" button.
5) You should then see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Hit Next and Finish and you are well on your way to getting your Blackberry back to life. Congrats! Just don't disconnect anything and let the lengthy process finish completely.
NOTE: If you do not see a list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead see the message "The Blackberry Desktop Software does not have Blackberry Device Software for the device that you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator," then you must download Blackberry's Operating System for your carrier and device. BlackBerry Software Download Site
Just select the appropriate carrier and network type, select your Blackberry model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the above steps again and you should be on the right path.
Good luck.

Mac Mini won't boot up, just beeps once every 4 seconds. Is it dead?

Mac Mini died, now it won't boot up. It just sits and beeps at me once every four seconds with the power light flashing once every four seconds also. If i shut it off, can't get it to turn on again without unplugging it. also, no boot sound. Time for a new one?

Sounds like a RAM problem:
1 tone, repeating every 5 seconds: This indicates no RAM is installed.
Try reseat8ng the RAM. Finde you Mac here for how to access the RAM

Dv3z black screen with caps lock and numlock led lights flashing

dv3z boot with black screen and (screen) flashes every few seconds, cap and num lock led lights flashes every 2 seonds as well. It boots eventually but takes forever.

Hi,
I your notebook still under warranty? If it is, you will need to contact HP and arrange to have the notebook repaired under warranty.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.
If you're out of warranty, I would suggest getting an estimate ( and a confirmation of the diagnosis ) from a local computer repair shop. If the actual processor chip is faulty, this is far easier to replace than say a fault with the graphics chip ( which usually means a new Motherboard ) and so may well be worth the expense.

Dv4-2049us numlock caplock blinks once every 2 seconds continuous, hard reset no help

Was running fine power off then tried to power back on 1 hour later no display numlock and capslock blinks continuous once every two seconds, does this indicate a CPU or bad battery?

As per Blank Screen LED error code, it indicates CPU or motherboard itself has gone faulty. You can find more info at below link

Three months ago I upgraded my 2010 to 8GB with Crucial RAM, I never had a single beep and everything is hunky-dory.

I can't seem to make my led light/flash work on my iphone 4

I recently purchage a flashlight app for my iphone 4 and discovered that my led light/flash was not working. In the flashlight mode I could not get the led to work. I later found out the flash in the camera mode also didnot function. I'm wondering is there a defect in the led/flash or is there a setting that I have omitted on the ipone itself. I'm going to take the phone in to the local Verision store for evaluation and possible exchange.

Unless Verizon has a special provision in this regard that ATT has never had, Apple handles all iPhone repairs and exchanges under Apple's warranty.
There is a setting when capturing photos - Automatic, On, or Off for the flash when capturing photos.
If there is no flash when set to On or Automatic in a dark setting and no change after the standard troubleshooting steps which in order are:
Power your iPhone off and on.
An iPhone reset.
Restoring your iPhone with iTunes from the backup.
Restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
Your iPhone has a hardware problem. You can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

My iphone 5 gps is bad. It follows me about once every 20 seconds.

I have had 3gs, 4 and wife has 4s. They all followed me perfectly in the car.
The iphone 5 I have strays off the road and picks up my position about once every 20 seconds.
I have reset the phone as new phone, reset location settings, rebooted, to no avail.
Navigon 'always' wants to simulate my route.
Phone shows me about 1 block from house even outside in the open.
I held my wifes 4s AND my phone in each hand, and ran an app called 'GPS Status'.
She shows status as 'excellent fix', even in the house. Mine shows Bad Fix, and Poor fix.
I would say the gps radio in the unit is bad, or not working correctly.
I have an appt with the Genius bar near my work Tues 9/25. I hope they can exchange this for a
NEW phone (dont see how there would be any refurbs yet).
I am still within the 30 day exchange/return, as I just got it Friday 9/21.
If I have any problems with the exchange as this is hard to test inside a store, they just have
to take my word on this. I can always return it and buy it when the phone is available again
I suppose if you have to return an item you will get your UPGRADE (199$) back to purchase
another or this same phone in the future as you shouldnt have to use up your upgrade price if the item
is returned..

fixed. exchanged in apple store. works perfectly on new one now. oddly enuf old 5 had the 2 tiny torque screws missing on the bottom. Anyone else had this happen ?

USB 6251 Active light flashes once on power up, then no activity

Hi,
My USB-6251's active light flashes once when turned on, followed by no further activity by either Active or Ready lights (both are off). The computer shows no recognition of the device. This is when plugged into a confirmed operating wall outlet and attached to a computer that previously recognized and used the device. I opened the device and can confirm that the replaceable fuse is not broken. Any ideas?
Cody

If you have been able to talk to the device before, then I am assuming that something must have gone wrong with the device itself. Best is to call NI's customer services and get the device repaired.

You are very welcome, again.
I have a preference for Corsair Products. I suggest a PSU of at least 500W; 600 is even better. Modular is a good way to go in smaller mid-size cases. You only have to use the cables that are needed to connect a component. This allows for more space for good airflow.

SG 200-08 All LED lights flashing green after power failure

Thinking back, about a month ago I updated the firmware (sorry I can't check version at the moment). The switch has been working fine since then. Today I needed to move some power cables and the switch lost power. Now ALL of the LED lights are flashing green and I can't access the switch. I've tried setting a static IP on my laptop to 192.168.1.20, mask 255.255.255.0, and accessing the switch on 192.168.1.254, but there's no response. I've tried holding in the reset button for at least 30 seconds while the switch is powered on, AND while powering it on. None of that has worked. Also when I first power it on, the system LED flashes orange very quickly for a second or so, then all of the LEDS start flashing green.
What am I missing?

Its been a few months, so I don't remember the details, but I think it was a combination of using the reset button and then opening a browser to the default IP address. If you look at the screenshot I posted it has the IP address I used. I downloaded the firmware again and the webpage in the screenshot is where the router is asking me for the location of the firmware I downloaded. After it finished reloading the firmware it worked again.

G4 dual 1 gig.. no power, but the light flashes once?

Today I noticed that after I left the computer alone for a while it was shutdown.. I turned it back on and used it for a couple hours, stepped away for 40 minutes and it shut down again. I turned it on, and within 2 minutes the power cutout. Then it wouldn't turn on at all, I would push the power button on the front panel and the light would flash like it normally would when it was powering up, but no fan whirling and of course no power.
So.. after trying to reset the PMU, it turned on, I zapped the PRAM, and right as it was loading the desktop, it's died again. And now it won't come on, just flashes once when I try and turn it on (the power button light).
Is this a sure indicator of a dead or near death Power Supply?

Could be a bad battery. Have you ever changed it?
I would check it first. When mine went, I had no response from my Mac at all; just a light on my power button; absolutely no boot at all.
Check out things in Texas Mac Mans tutorial on the subject. His tutorial is a little dated (don't believe it even mentions G5's) but the info in it, except SMU not being included, still applies.
Cheers!

Solid green light with blink every 5 seconds

I use this shuffle on my windows xp pc. When it was time to charge the (first gen) shuffle, I connected it to powered USB, as usual. After plugging it in I got a solid green light with a blink every 5 seconds. I then tried plugging it into the wall adapter charger with the same outcome. I left it overnight to charge and upon checking the battery, it's still red/orange.
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?
Thanks

Does this mean I have to buy a new one, or is the
battery replacable? I haven't even owned it for a
full year.
Take it to an Apple Store... they'll replace it.

WhatsApp on BB 9360 - LED light flashing

I have the BB 9360 for a week now, its all good but noticed that when i get a WhatsApp message the LED light will flash red (which i know is normal) however when i have read it the light will still be flashing red, this turns off automatically after around 4mins.
Just wondering if anyone else gets this as this does not happen with Emails, SMS and BBM's.
Thanks.

This should not be. I just checked now...as soon as I read the new message the LED notification is turning off.
Try below -
When you device is POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery. This make a reboot to your device which resolves minor issues with the BlackBerry device.
