HP C309a - Blue screen - C2FE0100 Error code- 7 blinking lights!

HP 309a - Photosmart - Up-to-date drivers, New ink too. Cleaned print head with alcohol wipes. Will not print. Control panel screen displays HP logo for about 7 seconds, then the display turns blue with white letters/numbers : C2FE0100, then same panel turns white but 7 panel lights flash. Flashing lights are on the exclamination mark, red eye removal, print photo, auto answer, power button, wireless network indicator and bluetooth indicator lights. Only way printer will turn off and on is by unplugging from power source. Printer makes no sounds when power is connected. Managed to print 2 test papers and they looked ok. Ran the HP Print Diagnostic Tool during that approximate 7 second moment before everything started blinking and according to it:, "No problems were found for HP C309a Series." Utility checks: Connectivity, Spooler, Driver, Device Mgr., Printer Online, Device Status, Print Queue, Conflicts, and Default Printer. Purchased March 2010. Within 10 days of purchase, had print head problems and it was replaced. Different error code received then. 2 Weeks from end of semester...not a cool time for printer failure!

Hi there,
I understand you're having some issues with your Photosmart C309A giving an error and flashing lights. I will certainly do my best to help you with this.
Generally the error that you all are describing is caused by the firmware of the printer. The first thing I'd like you to try though, if it isn't already, is to plug the printer directly to a wall outlet to make sure it's getting all the power it needs to function properly.
Please let me know if this step changes anything, if not we will move on to a reset of the product. Have a great day!

    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Blue screen with error code and I have no recovery disks for HP Pavilion dv6-1260se

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6-1260se with factory installed operating system of Vista. When booting up the computer, I receive a blue screen with this error message: STOP:  c000021a {Fatal System Error}.
                                                                The verification of a KnownDLL failed.  system process terminated unexpectedly with
                                                                 a status of 0x0000221  (0x007fb9c0  0x00000000).
                                                                 The system has been shut down.
    I do not have recovery disks for this computer.  I tried to order them but them seem to not be available.  This is my daughter's computer.  She says she started to have trouble after downloading Frost Wire (music share) and then she removed it.  We tried going back to an earlier time and that didn't help and then the blue screen with error message appeared. What do I do now?
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    Assuming your in the US, recovery discs are available to order for that model here.  That may be the best option.
    You should also be able to do a recovery without the discs as well.  Take a look at this document: Recover Windows Vista Operating System Using HP Recovery, and look for the section Restore the PC to its original condition with the HP Recovery Manager if Windows Vista is not accessible.  This should allow you to recover the PC.

  • Blue Screen and Error code help

    I got up for a few moments then come back to see my computer Blue Screened, first time ever for me. Its running win XP and is roughly 1 1\2 years old and i have no idea what even caused the blue screen much less how to fix it so it wont happen again
    The error code

    Not 100% sure without looking at it honestly. If it happens again I would take it in to your local store for a diagnostic.

  • Machine Check blue screen (with error codes)

    I thought I had this fixed, but apparently I was wrong. Every now and then, for what seems to be no apparent reason, I get this blue screen error:
    Quote
    CRITICAL STOP: MACHINE CHECK EXCEPTION
    A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
    If this is the first time you have seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screens appears again follow these steps:
    Check to make sure any new hardware and software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufactorer for any windows updates you may need.
    If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disbable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.
    TECH INFO: ***STOP: 0x0000009c (0x00000004, 0x80545ff0, 0xb2000000, 0x00070f0f)
    I had similar problems before, but the blue screen is new after replacing my video card. (Before the new video card, the computer was freezing up with a black screen. I'm assuming the blue screen is a step in the right direction?) Original thread is here.
    Right now, this is my current system:
    Motherboard: K8T Neo-FIS2R [Bios version 2.0 (I think; its the most current version as of 2-15-05)]
    CPU: Athlon 3000+
    PSU: Antec Truepower 550 (+5V=40A; -5V=0.5A; +12V=30A; -12V=1.0A; +3.3V=32A; +5V SB=2A)
    RAM: 1 1GB DDR400 (cas 3.0)
    HD: Seagate ST320082 200GB SATA Drive (VIA driver)
    DVD: LiteOn DVD Rom
    Floppy Drive
    Running Windows SP2, all current updates installed
    NVidia 6800GT video card (Asus; using TechConnect driver)
    Soundblaster Audigy 2
    DLink Wireless Network Adapter (DWL-G520)
    I have tried replacing the RAM, HD, video card, and Power supply with similar results.
    The error message clearly states that I should try disabling memory options such as BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing, but I don't know what affect this would have if I did this. Any opinions on this and other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks...

    - EDIT -
    One more note: Nothing is overclocked in PC. All temperatures seem normal. CPU does not go over 38C.

    I ran memtest for about 5 hours with no errors. I'll give it a go for a while w/o the sound card for a week or two.
    I wish this thing wasn't so hard to troubleshoot. For example, it was happening about 2 times a day before I tried new ram. After going with the new stick of ram, it was fine for about 10 days, so I thought it was solved. Then last night, I got two of these again.

  • Blue Screen with Error Code B8156CEO

    Hi,my printer shows this error code after turning it on. All the lights are blinking. Plugging off the power supply or trying to reset by holding the power on button doesnt work. Seems to be in a firmware loop. There is some rest of connection to the imac but only basics (name of printer, model) I have only connection over wifi.  please help kind regards

    Same problem here. It started on the 29-7-2015. I tried the solutions mentioned here, but no result. The Printer I bought on the 21th of march, so 4 months and 8 days.. Til this date I was content, but now... not of course.. its not a long time isnt it? I did make around 50 copies.. (Not very much) It seems that previous month and around 29-7 alot entries I read about this problem on websites.. in short: there are at once lots of these errors.. what is the reason?  I will go to the shop I bought the printer, I have  garanty for 1 year legally, so i'm gonna ask there..it feels so...how must i say... helpless !

  • After Blue screen with Error B864F472, a blinking display after several minutes ( Type HP-6510e)

    Hi all,
    After, bout 30 minutes my HP-6510 display is blinking, including the wireless and powerbutton. All together at th e same time, in the same frequentie.
    Only thing i can do is push the powerbutton, then it will come bach normally and you can print.
    or pull out the netgear, plug it in, then it will come bach normally and you can print.
    After (aprox.) 30 minutes it's start blinking again, not possible to print then, and loss of connection via eprint.
    WHAT is it ??? (it's not normal, i assume)
    Grtz, Haapeetje

    Hi Haapeetje,
    If it is still occurring after all of that it is going to be an issue with the hardware of the printer. I recommend calling into HP Technical Support to see what options are available to you.

  • Restarting After a Blue Screen Stop Error

    I have received a Blue Screen Stop Error on my Toshiba Satellite 5200 Series laptop.
    I could report it here, in full, if that would be helpful. However, it begins by telling me to restart the machine but the unit's Power button is not allowing me to switch it off.
    What action should I take ?

  • Blue screen fatal error messages - laptop always crashes and now won't even let me restore

    My dv6920ea laptop has developed a fault and keeps crashing with blue screen errors, such as "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". The problem has become so bad that it happens everytime I turn the laptop on. The laptop ran "Windows memory diagnostic tool" which said that there was a hardware fault. I've tried running a full system recovery to factory setting but sometimes the laptop crashes, and when it doesn't it asks me to insert a windows disc, but my laptop didn't come with one. The laptop is a year and a half old. What can I do to fix this issue? I don't mind completely recovering the laptop to factory settings and I have most(!) of my files backed up.

    Hello djbless,
    You’re getting blue screens with error IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
    Run diagnostics to make sure that you are not having a problem with any of the hardware.
    Turn off the computer.
    As you power it back on tap the F2 key. This will load hardware diagnostics.
    Run the startup test.
    Go to HP.com and update the drivers, there is a button that says Let HP scan your system for out-of-date and missing drivers and software
    Here is a link to the updates.

  • Blue screen after Error 37: a bad filename or volume was encountered

    I get a PAGEFAULT_IN_NONPAGEDAREA blue screen after I encounter multiple Error 37: a bad filename or volume was encountered.
    Anyone encounter this issue and how to you send info to apple for them to fix their buggy code?
    Their support of code which will run bug-free on vista seems to be lacking (I understand there are two parties to this marriage).
    Help anyone?

    I noticed a few days ago that (at least on my box) Quicktime seems to have "issues" with >31 characters anywhere in the file path.
    Is it possible that you have some folder along the way to your movie that has more than 31 charaters?
    Shorten if necessary and see if that works.

  • Blue screen, c1ab0003 error

    Hi. I have an HP Photosmart 8050. Recently, when it powers on, it displays the blue screen on the prointer display, with the error code c1ab0003.  It just hangs on this screen.
    That's all it will do. When I power it off, and on again, it shows the progress bar, then the same result.
    Any ideas?

    There has never been a response to this question but my printer is doing this too.  Any help would be appreciated.
