Hot phone and red light stays on

My iphone 3G often gets hot when I use it for 15 or 20 minutes and the little red infared light stays on and I don't know why. Any helpful ideas or advice would be welcome.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I fear that all you have done, contrary to the recommended process, has permanently damaged your BB. But, you nevertheless might want to try again the "rice trick", but this time not being as anxious about ceasing the process. If you wish to attempt that, then:
REMOVE YOUR BB BATTERY NOW!!!
Run, don't walk, to this FAQ:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Got_Your_BlackBerry_Wet%3F
Do everything it says, including waiting the maximum recommended time. Applying power to your BB between it getting wet and doing this process reduces the chances of success. Further, the only thing predictable about moisture intrusion into a BB (indeed, any electronic device) is that the results will be unpredictable. I've seen some come back up right away and be fine. I've seen others never work at all. I've seen still others run for a bit, and then die later. And every thing in between.
Good luck!

The optical drive red light stays on, no sound in OS X, the car charger not working

The optical drive red light stays on, no sound in OS X, the car charger not working, I think that its all tied to 1 error or 1 issue, maybe something to do with the boot camp file?
Any ideas ?

Hi S,
There is a switch inside the audio jack that may be stuck. Try gently inserting, wiggling, removing the audio plug.

MacBook died. Went to plug it up and power it back on, and it made an odd beeping sound. It failed to power up, and the light stays constant and doesn't blink.

MacBook died. Went to plug it up and power it back on, and it made an odd beeping sound. It failed to power up, and the light stays constant and doesn't blink. i unplugged it to wait for the light to turn off, which it did after a few minutes, but when I plug it back up to try again, the light comes on and stays on, but it won't power back up. I've also tried holding down the power button for up to 30 seconds and it doesn't do anything. Any tips or hopefully answers to this issue?

Hi. You might have a memory problem. With one or more of your ram being bad. If this is so you can try removing the ram one at a time and try to restart . You can also switch ram slots to make sure ifs not the ram slot. Before you do this try a pram reset. Command/Option/P/R holding down these keys while starting up for three chimes. Also a SMC reset.http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295 http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202768

Qosmio X300 - Media keys and other lights stays on

Hi there,
I'm running Vista Bus 64 bit. For some reason all of the media keys and other lights stays ON.
When i press one of the media keys, it fades out and a few seconds later they fades back in again.
I have tried re-installing Value Added Package, but it did not resolve anything.
Can someone please help

You can manually turn them on and off by opening windows explorer and going to C:\Program Files\Toshiba\TBS and look for dimmer.exe when you click this it turns the lights on and off.
You could make a shortcut to this on your desktop if you cannot get proper functionality of the lights on/off button on the media key bar.

Desktop Computer dc5750 shuts down and red light flashes on front of computer and won't start at all

I have a DC5750 HP Compaq Computer it is 6 years old, but I have 4GB Ram, Nvidia GS8400 Graphics Card, two one TB Hard Drives. While I tried to re-installed my operating systems it all of a sudden shut down not once but twice, I opened up the side of the computer and found that it was hotter then normal. I let it sit for a while thinking it maybe over heating after hooking it back up I turned it on again nothing happened except a beeping noise and red lights flashing on the front. Can this be fixed as money is an issue.
Thanks
Rob

Satellite P10 PSP10E shutdown and the light stays on

Hello,
I'm having a few troubles with my old (2004) Satellite P10 PSP10E-0SCM7-FR
One day it simply shut down (as if out of power, no BSOD) and the power button as well as the led for the WIFI and CD/DVD stay on.
Most of the time I cannot turn it back on as the power buton still is on. (Power button, WIFI and CD/DVD are on).
I've tried to take the battery out and unplug the computer for at least 30mm
I've tried to press the start button for a while (a minute) then unplug everyting (Power cord + battery) for at least 30 mn before to turn it back on
I've reinitialzed the computer using therecovery CD provided with the computer
I've removed the heatsink, cleaned it as well as the fan then put back some new thermal grease
I've changed the memory
Yet I still have the same problem, for some unknown reason, the computer simply shutdown and the light stays on. On occasion, the power light do go off, and I'm able to start the computer again. But I'm unable to understand what makes the computer shut itself down, or when that happens, what makes turns the power light off and make it possible to start the computer again.
Any idea of what's going on ?
Could the power button and light being turned on be an error message?
If so, what does it means ?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks !
Damien
the lights stay on even when taking the battery off and unpliging it to a while (30mm to an hour)

Hi PauPau and thanks for your help !
I'm a bit disapointed, I was hoping it was something that could fairly easily be fixed.
:o|
Since the computer is about 10 years old, I'll certainly won't have it fixed as I'm affraid it would cost way too much. For a ltitle while i thought about getting another used P10 in order to get some spare parts to fix my computer. But I guess this is going to be much too complicated for me and might cost me a lot with no inssurance that I'll ever get it fixed.
I guess I should better save some money and buy a new one.
I'll stay subscribed to this thread... if anyone has an idea on what could be the problem, please post here. Thanks.

Blackberry 8220 Flip phone gives red light, then shows clock and repeats...... forever....!

Hi I have a blackberry pearl 8220 flip that's bricked. It goes from a long red light to the clock loading screen and continues until by battery is dead.
I have tried reloading the current OS available (v4.6.0.174) through the latest blackberry desktop manager several times, and I did select the options to completely wipe all data on the pearl. I got the desktop manager to detect the phone by taking out the battery at first, and then putting it in. The reload worked properly, everything got wiped off and the os was reinstalled. It worked for a couple of hours, but the problem pops up again. I've even tried reloading an older os (4.5) but it doesn't work either.
Please help...

Hmmm...OK, then you might need to completely wipe it out first and then reload the OS...see this:

If that fails, then you are probably ready for warranty support -- from your carrier.
Good luck!

Phone wont turn on and red light flashing 5 times with pause/s in between

i was charging my phone, after 30 minutes i unpluged the plug from the mains and typed in my password. from there on the phone went completely blank and all i was seeing was a red light flashing.

At the moment the phone is completely blank i cant switch it on. Also ive tried using the usb which didnt help my laptop doesnt recognise it neither does the desktop manager.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Without the use of the charging port, tests will be more difficult, and results less definitive. Nevertheless...this sequence is needed:
Obtain an 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. Note please that "known good" and "new" are not necessarily the same thing...while rare, a new battery certainly can be defective. The best (and, btw, least costly) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
If the result is that your BB is the issue, then you will need to seek out a local (to you) shop with a qualified BB hardware technician to give you a proper evaluation and estimate. If you remain in warranty, you could instead seek support under those terms (assuming your warranty is not void).
Good luck and let us know!

Red light stays on..then battery with lightning bolt show

I have the 8330 curve and as i was getting out of my car tonight and my phone dropped. It shut off and hasnt turned on since...i plugged it into my charger and the red led light stays on and then goes off and a battery with a lightning bolt shows on the screne. Is there any thing to do to fix this?

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. Please note that "known good" and "new" are not necessarily the same thing...while rare, a new battery can be defective.

Z10 doesn't restart and red light blinking only.

Hi,
My z10 phone was normally working, and sometimes it's don't response and hang. last time i tried to restart and it's took long time and i used blackberry link and did software update. in between software update was completed but it was not run. i got problem. Red light blinking.
even i charge it or restart, Red light blinking.
after i face this problem, i tried to slove by autoloader, new BB link and many more action done. Nothing work.
it might be mother board problem???? but i am not technician.
We cann't buy easily motherboard also.
I think Blackberry is totally **bleep**.... Since i have used blackberry storm , storm 9860 and z10 al are **bleep**.

I think BlackBerry is totally awesome...Since I have used BlackBerry Pearl, Curve, Bold, Z10, Q10, and now Z30. All are awesome.
There are so many things that could cause your Z10 to fail. You could have gotten it wet, dropped it, stepped on it, or any other manner of abuse. It could also have just failed on it's own through no fault of your own. Since I know MANY people with BB10 devices right now, including 3 in my own household and another 3 assigned to some coworkers there is no problem with all BlackBerrys.

My 2nd generation Ipod red light stays on

I got a 2nd Generation Ipod Shuffle, and it was fantastic up until now.
It was docked and the green light was on, So i ejected it, and the green light just stayed on. The ipod was off, up until i turned it on after removing it from the dock. Shortly after my ipod's light turned red and isn't recognized by itunes anymore. The light just stays red and doesn't shut off whether the ipod is on or off. I put the ipod back on the dock hoping that something would happen but it just stays the same. i turn the ipod on, and nothing happens whatsoever. the red light just stays on and nothing happens.
Something is obviously wrong with my ipod, can someone please help me?! I'm extremely frusterated by this, it worked just fine, and i plugged it in to charge it and ever since then it hasn't been the same.

Touch sceen wont work and red light

My touch screen on my HTC Rhyme stopped working and now there is a faint red light in the top left corner of the screen. How can I fix this?

Hi. My name is Stephanie, >Personal info removed< daughter. I have had my phone since July 1, 2012. I have been having consistent issues with it taking FOREVER to turn on or restart. Also, I have at the same issue the starter of this thread. To describe in more detail, I can hit the on/off button to show the home screen. But, the touch screen is not working. And, there is a faint red light about 5mm to the left of the Verizon logo at the top of the front screen. I chose this phone because I wanted a smart phone and this looked like a great option, but I have been having consistent issues and have not dropped the phone or changed anything on the phone. Hoping to get some help, otherwise, I am contemplating paying the cost for the new Samsung note, as much as I DO NOT have the money to do this. Please let me know ASAP as to my options, especially since I don't have any discount or good upgrade options until 04/2013. Thank you so much hope that I can get some resolution to this problem. Also, you can e-mail me directly at >Personal email address removed<

Curve wont start and red light flashes

I was on my way home on the train and running low on batteries, but thought i had enough to quickly browse the applications.
I'd installed the free Time app earlier that day and checked it out, and it wasnt really to my taste, so I decided to delete the app. It warned me the blackberry would need to restart which was fine, only it turned off and didnt come back on.
I thought it had just ran out of battery but now after four hours of charging, and plugging it to my PC the blackberry still wont start. My laptop wont even recognise its plugged into anything and every button I press just gets the flashing red light.
Can anyone help? Is there a manual reset button on the device?

Hello,
I had this happen one time to my 8530... and I thought my heart was going to break. I'm an engineer so I have a bad habit of breaking and fixing, as I have learned that it's the best way to become an expert on any given piece of technology...
Anyway, I was able to fix my Berry by attaching it to my Mac, and letting the computer load the OS on it. Make sure it's plugged in with the desktop manager when you boot the phone your desktop manager should prompt you if you want to reload the OS...
Basically that's what the flashing red light means... you corrupted your OS, and now needs a reinstall.
It takes about an hour to do...
Hope this helps!

Curve 8530

After updating my iphone 5 of ios 7, I delete or trash my emails rorm my inbox and they pop back up in my inbox. How do I fix this? They are deleted from the main server but show up in my email on my phone and will not stay deleted.

I recently updated my iphone 5 to IOS 7 and since doing this, i cannot get my email messages to stay deleted when I trash them. They have been deleted from the main mail server but show up on my phone. When I trash them, they disappear for a few seconds and then re-appear in the inbox. I tried deleted my mail account from my phone and re-adding it, but this worked for about 12 hours and now its doing it again. I also have shut my phone off and rebooted it but this did not work. How do I fix this?

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

Unreliable sound - speaker symbol greyed out and red light in 3.5mm jack

Had my MacBook for 3 years with no problems. But over the past few months, the sound has been very unreliable. It always works when external speakers are plugged in, but when using the internal speakers it's very temperamental. It will just suddenly grey out the speaker symbol on the menu bar at the top, and a red light is visible in the 3.5mm jack socket.
Any ideas???

Your Mac believes that a digital audio cable is plugged in. You can use a toothpick or unbent paper clip to toggle the DA switch off. It's located along the side of the port, not at the back whence the light emanates.
