Hardware error messages...i

i just started noticing a strange line that will show up in the screen when i move the screen lid back and forth - it goes all different shades of red, green, and blue depending on how it's positioned and if i put a slight bit of pressure pushing the screen straight down.
so, i tried a hardware test. first with RAM that i installed, then with RAM that came with the computer.
I got this message with the first test: 4SNS/1/4000000: TG0D-85.500
and the second: 4SNS/1/4000000: TG0D-87.000
Any idea what could be going on?

Apple is the keeper of the error codes, but I believe SNS indicates a faulty sensor. You'll need to call Apple to find out exactly what these codes mean and what needs to be done to fix your Mac.
Good luck!

My iMac 8.1 was slowing down and had permissions problems. I backed everything up, and then re-installed. Now all I get is a black screen. Power+D gives me a hardware error message: HDD-1336. Help!

My iMac 8.1 (10.6.8 ) was slowing down and had recurrent permissions problems, mostly with Java. I backed everything up, and then re-installed from time machine. Now all I get is a black screen which says I need to reboot. Power+D gives me a hardware error message: 4 MOT/1/40000003: HDD-1336 or HDD-1327. When I reboot from the OSX CD and start disc utilities everything checks out OK. When I reload 10.5.2 from the OSX CD everything seems to work OK and no more permissions problems. But then I loose all my email and safari stuff. Anyone have any ideas short of going back to my old PC?

Hi
Thanks for the help. No point in fooling around with it any more. Will I be able to use it as a monitor if I get a mimi mac?
Cheers. Don
No unfortunatley it's too old, you are referring to Target Display Mode which became avialble in 2009, your 2008 needs to have the HD replaced. I'd still do that if everything else is OK or you can simply buy a new MM and display or even a new iMac or an Apple refurbished iMac to save money.

Hardware error messages

Hi,
does it exist an hardware error messages list, which messages can occur in the /var/adm/messages files for different platforms.
Similar to the Solaris Common Messages and Troubleshooting Guide for Solaris messages.
Thanks in advance

Boot time "eth0: Hardware Error" message

I reinstalled Arch on my ThinkPad last month after some playing around with FreeBSD. It was running fine for a while, but around the time of the big glibc update it started giving me some error messages about eth0 at startup. I ignored it for a week or so because I normally connect over wireless, but now I've had some time to puzzle over it and I can't figure it out.

When I try to connect with it (using wicd), envision 24 more lines of alternating "irq 46 for MSI/MSI-X" and "eth0: Hardware Error". But I can connect, and I'm using it right now to post this as well as install the latest update. It doesn't seem to cause errors during normal usage.
I Googled a bit and searched the forums but didn't come up with anything that sounded like this issue. "Hardware Error" isn't a very descriptive message.
Edit - forgot to mention, both LEDs on the physical Ethernet port come on and stay on as long as I'm using wireless, but when I connect it to a cable they behave normally.

I still get the irq stuff in my logs, but I've also noticed that it's really difficult to get an IP address from a DHCP server lately. I'm using wicd, by the way. Everything is fine with wireless, it's just connecting via ethernet is finicky.
It seems that after it puts the interface up, it launches dhcpcd but with the odd ethernet hardware it takes 20 or seconds before the ethernet link is established. Since dhcpd has a default timeout of 30 seconds, this eats up dhcpd's time and then it times out early.
Here's an example from /var/log/everything.log:
Aug 23 17:19:27 localhost dhcpcd[11183]: version 5.6.0 starting

Aug 23 17:19:56 localhost dhcpcd[11183]: eth0: sending IPv6 Router Solicitation
Aug 23 17:19:57 localhost dhcpcd[11183]: timed out
As soon as the ethernet link is established ("carrier acquired"), it gets the IP address from the server. Then it checks if the address is in use on the network and appears to reach the 30-second timeout during that process.
I resolved the problem by editing /etc/dhcpcd.conf to increase the timeout by adding this line:
timeout 60
And here is my log after increasing the timeout:
Aug 23 17:24:16 localhost dhcpcd[11787]: version 5.6.0 starting

It takes 22 seconds to acquire the ethernet carrier after dhcpcd starts up. Then it needs 8 more seconds before it finishes and forks to background. Having a 30-second timeout is too close, but the 60-second timeout works great.

Hardware error message

This is my 1st post, I am recently a convert and came over from the dark side (PC user) so I know very little about troubleshooting issues. I purchased a iMac 3.06 and installed parallel (with Vista) but don't use it much.
Recently my iMac has been locking up and I've had to power off to unlock and then the computer failed several times to boot up. After a lengthy 'white' screen I get a folder icon with a question mark instead of the Apple symbol.
I ran the hardware check 2x's and came up with the same error message.
'4HDD/11/400004 SATA 0,0'
I suspect it is a hard drive issue but can anybody help.
Thom

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
If you are having to do what some folks call a hard power down or power off, by pressing and holding the power button until the Mac turns off, this is bad for your HD. Doing this can damage the directory for the data on your HD. Doing this enough times can so mess up your HD that it is unrecoverable for the average consumer.
The folder with a question mark icon means that your Mac has lost track of its startup disk. Restart the Mac while pressing and holding the Option key. This will bring up the startup manager. If your startup disk is still available it should be among the offerings. If not, insert your Restore disc 1, which came with the new Mac, and choose it when it appears. Choose your language and wait for the Installer to appear. In the Utilities menu select Disk Utility. If your startup volume appears in the left pane, highlight it and select First Aid. Select the Repair Disk button. If DU can repair the startup volume it will. If it cannot you may need a more industrial repair utility, such as Disk Warrior.
After DU repairs the startup disk, Quit DU. Again in the Utilities menu select Startup Disk. Select your startup volume and press the Restart button.
After your Mac restarts go to Apps/Utilities/Disk Utility, choose your startup volume and First Aid. This time Repair Disk Permissions.

G5 HARDWARE ERROR MESSAGE 2STF/2/3: A UPPER

QUESTION: IS INTERNAL HARDDRIVE SMOKED? Is replacement my only option?
2.5 POWERMAC DUAL PROCESSOR: 6GB RAM/160GB HARDDRIVE. Found system crash on screen, fans running wild and no response to reboot. Reloaded system onto ext. harddrive and disk utility found no internal harddrive. Used Hardware Test CD and got two results. Logic board passed test & ERROR DETECTED on internal harddrive. ERROR MESSAGE = 2STF/2/3: A UPPER. Searched Knowledge base but no 100% match on error code.
Thanks...... George OLDGUY in SoCAL.

hello goerge old guy,
me too by the way. How about reformatting your bad drive completely. You would have to have annother drive for that. either internal or external, but no
USB (won't mount). Having two drives to start from, is anyway basic in today's
computing, don't you think so ? so many drives I had under my finger, worked
afterwards again, when formatting.
best to ya

Error Message from hardware test

Hi,
I just recently bought a 1 gb PC2700 SODIMM 200 PIN DDR ram (EDGE TECH) and installed it in my 12"powerbook (1.5Ghz) to replace the original 256mb chip in there.
However, I got several application crashes and decided to run a hardware test and I got an error message for the ram:
2MEM/2/4:DIMM1/J31
Does any of you know what does it mean? So is the memory bad? WHat should I do? replace the ram with edge tech or it's the compability, edgetech just won't fit on powerbook? But in the description they said it can be used on powerbook though.
Please help!
Thank you!
Tom

I'm experiencing the same problem, it's really horrible! can anybody give me a clue? Thanks in advance

'Wi-Fi: Hardware not installed' error message, as if no modem

I am using a MacBook Air 13" late 2013 with Yosemite. I am not at home but have a valid working wifi network available in a University. Suddenly my internal modem is not recognised. What to do?
'Wi-Fi: Hardware not installed' is the error message as if it is not found.

In some cases, this issue is caused by a hardware fault. A loose connection, a short circuit, or a microscopic break in a solder joint may open and close depending on temperature, making the failure intermittent.
Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already taken. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. If you can connect to the Internet via Ethernet, Bluetooth, or a USB network device, make sure all available OS X updates are installed. If Wi-Fi is your only means of network access, skip this step.
2.. There are a few reports that the problem was solved by unchecking the box marked
Wake for Wi-Fi network access
in the Power Adapter tab of the Energy Saver preference pane. I can't confirm.
3. Reset the NVRAM.
4. Reset the System Management Controller.
5. Start up in Recovery mode. In the menu bar of the OS X Utilities screen, there's a Wi-Fi menu. Try to connect. If it works, select Install OS X. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
6. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Many people have the same problem. However, there is little or nothing readily available to users. This problem has existed for two or more years. Does anyone have anything to offer about this disturbing problem?

Thanks for the suggestion kcell. I've tried both versions
9.0.115 and 9.0.124 and both fail with the policy permission error.
I also tried with and without your crossdomain.xml file but
with the same result. It looks like this file is intended for URL
policy, instead of socket policy. Recently Adobe separated the two.
When I run with the files installed on my dev PC, it does
work, which makes sense because the flash player isn't loaded from
an unknown domain.
I did get one step closer. If a crossdomain.xml in the server
root exists and the socketpolicy file is loaded from the app folder
then the first two warnings disappear. The logs now show:
OK: Root-level SWF loaded:
https://192.168.2.5/trunk/myapp.swf
OK: Policy file accepted: https://192.168.2.5/crossdomain.xml
OK: Policy file accepted:
https://192.168.2.5/trunk/socketpolicy.xml
Warning: Timeout on xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:843 (at 3
seconds) while waiting for socket policy file. This should not
cause any problems, but see
http://www.adobe.com/go/strict_policy_files
for an explanation.
Warning: [strict] Ignoring policy file with incorrect syntax:
xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:993
Error: Request for resource at xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:993 by
requestor from https://192.168.2.5/trunk/myapp.swf is denied due to
lack of policy file permissions.
Which basically says, everything is okay, but you stay out
anyway.
PS: I found the XML schema files here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security_02.html
and the socket policy schema:
http://www.adobe.com/xml/schemas/PolicyFileSocket.xsd.
UPDATE: When serving up the policy file on port 843 using the
example perl script then the socket connection seems to be accepted
and the connect succeeds. After that flex hangs trying to logon to
the IMAP server.

Error message..hardware missing...agp graphics card??

Just purchased a new iMac G5. I installed Final Cut v.4. Intallation was succesful, but when I try to run it, I get the error message Missing Hardware: AGP graphics card. Shouldn't the iMac have come with a graphics card? What's going on?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Try doing a search on the Final Cut PRO forum. There is a solution to fixing the installer for the old version of FCP to run on a new G5.

I have a G5 running Leopard. Trouble starting. Hardware good. Cannot reinstall OS X. Error message 'Disc is damaged'

I have an old G5 that has been struggling at start up. Needed to reboot several times. Ran hardware check all OK. Attempted to reinstall the OS X and get error message ' Cannot install. disc is damaged' Disc looks good, no scratches.

That message refers to your hard drive, not the DVD!
You cannot perform repairs from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1782?viewlocale=en_US
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

Apple Hardware Test Error Messages

I ran a hardware test on my iMac and the following error message appeared.
4MOT/4/40000003:HDD-1243
What does this mean?
Thanks guys,

What prompted you to run the Hardware Test?
As far as I can tell, it's either an error with the Hard Drive or with the drive temperature sensor. If it were the latter, the fan cooling the drive would be operating out of its normal range.
Get iStat Pro and post the fan rpms, and temps, along with specifics on the model of your iMac.
