How to kill flashing light during sleep

I have an ADC 23" display. The power light flashes when the computer is in sleep mode. Since the unit is now located in my bedroom, the surprisingly powerful flashing light forces me to shut down the mac, rather than using sleep mode. How can I kill the annoying light?
Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
Welcome to the discussions.
There is no easy way to kill this flashing light. Might I suggest you make a black dust cover for the display. This will cover the light at night, and it's a good way to look after the monitor anyway.
Some people have used the easier option of taping over the light, or making a velcro patch, but these things may leave a mark on the monitor if removed.
Just make sure that any ventilation holes are not covered.
Cheers!
Karl

How to turn flash light on (N96)?

Hi,
I was wondering how can I turn on the flash light on my new Nokia N96. I need it e.g. to see in the dark etc.
On my N93 for example I have a separate button for this function.
I have tried with an old application NTorch Lite (OTStudio), which doesn't install correctly, and SpotOn, which does install but I get a "camera error".
I can install both of them fine on N93, though only red light is flashing.
So is there a way to do that or is it really possible that such a modern smartphone doesn't have this function?
Thank you for your replies!

... well I have troubles with installing that application on my N96 (as I already stated above) ... I can install it (I see some strange symbols during the installation; before you have to change the date on the phone), then I have problems when entering the code (I don't see the inserted numbers) though it seems that application does accept the code.
I hear the beep after I start the program but then nothing happens. Well I saw flash light emitting light only once and I actually don't know if that was because of the NTorch or not.
So I presume that the application is unstable.

My Apple TV has flashing light during update

The Apple TV was working fine until I started the lastest update. It now has a flashing light on the front, and displays a blank screen on the TV. It will not Airplay either. I have not diconnectedd it, and have checked all the cables, that are connected and they are fine. Hpow can I get my Apple TV working again?

We just had this happen today, and we were able to fix it using the restart instructions:
Restarting your Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) with an aluminum Apple Remote
Press and hold Menu and Down (buttons 3 and 4 below) on your aluminum Apple Remote for six seconds and then release when you see the LED light on the Apple TV flash rapidly.
Hope this helps!!

How to stop flashing lights using Playstation DualShock 3 controller in Mavericks?

Mavericks allows the Playstation DualShock 3 controller to pair via Bluetooth very quickly, however the lights on the controller keep flashing like the controller is still in pairing mode. The controls work fine, but I worry that the flashing lights will drain the controller battery.
Does anyone have experience with this? I bought the controller specficially because I read that Mavericks supported the controller.
I'm using a 15" rMBP late 2013.

I recently purchased and paired the DualShock 3 to Mavericks 10.9.5. I'm having the exact same experience as Brian noted above: it works great, but the 4 lights blink continuously. If anyone has any thoughts or Brian if you every found a solution to this, I'd appreciate the input.
Thanks!

How to get N73 light not to flash

Is it possible to have the "brightness sensor" -light not flashing all the time? It's not nice having it flashing all the time and it even keeps me awake during the night when it's dark. Thank you all ready for answering!

Is that the blue flashing light?
If so thats related to the Sleep mode on the phone.
Try going to menu, tools, settings, phone and then display. Turn sleep mode off.
Sleep mode is a battery saving option on the phone. If the phone is not used for a period of time (I think its about 2 minutes) it goes into sleep mode and appears to be switched off. The blue light flashes so that you know it is still on.

Is the screen supposed to flash during sleep?

Just got the new 17". When I put the computer to sleep, not only does the blue sleep light flash on the front latch, but the right side of the screen flashes a dim white as well (at a constant rate, but different pace than the latch light).
Is this a new "feature" or is something defective here?
I also noticed that the Apple logo on the back flashes during sleep (most noticeable when the lid is closed). Maybe this IS an inteded feature after all. Sure is annoying though...

Merci pour le truc, j'avais le même problème et cela l'a résolu (sans avoir besoin de désinstaller MS Office). Je suppose que le problème était que le tube fluorescent de l'affichage captait l'énergie émise par le module bluetooth.
The same in English:
To solve the "flashing in sleep" problem, desactivate the following bluetooth option in system preferences: "Allow devices to wake this computer".
It think that the explanation is that when this bluetooth option is active, the transmitter is activated at regular intervals. The fluorescent tube next to the antenna picks up some of the energy and emits a faint glow.

How do I fix Cartridge Error and flashing light message on my 4215xi all-in-one? I use windows 8.1

This equipment was working just fine after I installed a re-filled black ink cartridge. A few days later I began to get a flashing light with the message: Cartridge Error. See Product Documentation for details. Sometimes my computer said the printer was offline when it wasn't. I have also had occasional cartridge door open messages when the door was closed. I have removed the two cartrdges, cleaned them with water by using a coffee filter as a swab. I have also uninstalled and, I think, reinstalled the software printer driver, but I am not entirely certain as to that.

Hi there @donpablitosan!
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
I would be happy to help in regards to the flashing lights and cartridge error on the printer. You had also mentioned that the computer sometimes shows the printer offline or door open errors. I should be able to help with that as well!
The first thing I suggest is to plug the printer into the wall outlet directly if it is currently in a power surge protector or extension cord. This may sound silly but this will ensure the printer is getting full power and may eliminate any unnecessary troubleshooting. If the printer is no longer getting full power from the power surge or extension cord it may give false errors or have poor connection and paper feed issues.
From what I can find it looks like you have done all the troubleshooting regarding the cartridge itself. If you have tried the above suggestion and are still getting the same issue then you may need to try another cartridge to see if the issue is coming from the printers hardware or the cartridge.
Thanks again for posting on the HP Forums!
Please post back and let me know how it goes and enjoy your day!

How to silent and turn off the flash light the E63...

I would like to turn the flash light off and also the beeps while I am taking a movie with my Nokia E63 but even doing that in picture mode (the only place where I can find such option) it continues to power on the led during my takes even in full daylight, so if someone can help me to turn off both the light and the sounds I will appreciate.

i made some research, apparently there's an application that you can use, it's called a ccam? it's supposed to turn the shutter off and the LED light as well. i tried it, but it says that the certificate has expired and it seems like too much hard work to have it signed so i didn't bother. you can look it up.

After use, I shut the screen down and now a red light is flashing where the sleep indicator is, when I open the computer up it asks for a password, but my computer doesn't have a lock on it?

Regarding your new Guest Account.
If it is the Guest User created by Find My Mac, it is advisable that you leave it be in order to maintain the functionality of the Find My Mac system. It is not a typical guest account. A person can't use the account to log into the system. It only permits the user (presumably a thief) to use a crippled version of Safari, in which the thief will reveal his/her location, hopefully to an end result wherein you may be able to recover the stolen computer.
The very nature of this unique guest account is to increase the security of the system, not to degrade it as a typical guest account might do.

T400 LED beside ultrabay lights up during sleep?

After i put the laptop to sleep, and moved it around for a while, the LED beside the ultrabay will light up. I have no idea what it is supposed to indicate, but it doesn't light up if i just leave it sitting. I noticed this weird phenominon after upgrading to BIOS 2.03. I downgraded back to v1.15 but the problem remains, so i'm not sure what is the culprit.
And for some reason the power consumption on standby isn't as low as before, as i noticed a significant decrease in battery life after leaving it in sleep mode for about an hour. The half moon LED was on throughout, so it shouldn't have woken up halfway.
Laptop specs: 2768-AA6, Vista x64.
Anyone having the same experience? What is the side LED supposed to indicate if it is on during sleep?

Hello dD-2765, welcome to Lenovo forums!
Please check in bios if Wake-on-Lan or anything else is deaktivated.
If you use a dock, then undock it and check if the problem occurs now.
Then check devices in device manager, if some device, wlan, modem or anything else, has checkbox and "device cant wake up windows" is checked.
Also start XP/Vista search, then type in cmd and type: powercfg -devicequery wake_armed
Is there a list of devices, that can wake up windows?
Please check if windows hybrid sleep is deaktivated.
May be interesting for the other members here.
"On Vista, you need to go into Power Options (shortest way is by clicking on your tray battery icon and then "More power options", or you can find it in Control Panel). Once you're in Power Options, find which Power Plan you currently have selected and then right under that plan's name click on
"Change plan settings" then "Change advanced power settings". From
there it will list a tree with the different power plan properties in
it.
You'll find the option for hybrid sleep under "Sleep" > "Allow hybrid sleep"." disable it.
