HP Photosmart C7280 Power issue with flashing lights

I have seen many posts on the web regarding flashing lights and incorrect shut downs.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-printing-questions/Photosmart-C5180-Power-Up-Power-Down-Problem-L...
I have tried everything including the "*,#" with "1,2,3" to reset the printer and I have the power cord plugged into a direct outlet, not a power strip, and nothing works.  Even if I do get the printer reset and it works, shortly later the lights will start flashing again and I see a blue screen with a power button symbol and some varying code (00729C98) - it varies each time.  It flashes after a short time even if I power down correctly - all on its own if plugged in.  Is there a defect with faulty part on the control board?  If so who do I take it to to get it fixed?  The printer is less than 2 years old.

I recently had the same problem with an HP Photosmart C7280, the same model as yours. I eventually managed to get through to HP Technical Support, and they advised that the unit would have to be replaced. I think if you call through, you can get a refurbished model for a cheaper rate.
Before calling technical support, I tried all the steps that have been recommended in various posts, but nothing helped. To the best of my knowledge - and I really tried to get my printer working - the unit is dead.
(Although this is an old post, I came across it when trying to fix the same issue. So, hopefully this will help anyone else who stumbles upon this post. Some other codes my printer showed on the HP "blue screen of death" were B83FCB56, B0075110 and B02BAEC3.)

  • Issues with Flash Pro CS5 on Mac

    Hi,
    I recently bought a MacBookPro 15", 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 and CS5 Creative Suite. Built in Intel HD Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M.
    Hi have some issues with Flash Pro:
    - when objects on the stage are quite big (for example a 800x3000 movie clip), it start showing strange colors and wrong position, however when double clicking the movie clip to edit it, it looks correct. Also no problem when publishing. See images attached, the first one is correct, the second one shows the problem, when editing the mc in the 2nd image i get the third image that is correct.
    Correct:
    Wrong:
    After entering editing mode:
    - after a while, when making a change in the stage or in the time line (deleting frames for example), it doesn't show it immediately, but i need to refresh the page. This happens more when opening many fla in the same time. Closing and restarting Flash fixes it, for a while.
    - after a while it doesn't show when selecting an object, the object looks like is not selected, however i can see that it is in the properties panel.  This happens more when opening many fla in the same time.  Closing and restarting Flash fixes it, for a while.
    Hi have been using CS3 and CS4 with less powerful computers before (always mac) and i never encountered these issues.
    Removing preferences and Application support files didn't help. I also updated Flash  to v. 11.0.1, but no joy.
    Does anyone know what's the problem?
    Thanks a lot.
    Mike

    Based on some searching and testing, it seems that if you redirect ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CS5 to a location on the local hard drive, rather than the network account storage, the problem ceases.
    I hope this helps anyone else who may run into this problem.
    Take care,
    Branden

  • Having Major Issues with Flash Player

    Using IE 8,  64 bit, flash player 11.4.402.287
    Having major issue with flash player! can not play a lot of games on FB. Games tell me that i need to update my Flash Player, PC says I have the latest version installed already.Ok, thought i would uninstall/reinstall...no go. Will not uninstall, says I need to close IE...which none are open.  This issue has been going on for weeks now.  I have done everything the help said to do and still not working.  I need HELP!

    im using the recent adobe flash player
    windows XP, internet explorer, 10.045.2, 32bit
    im not sure how this works, but im sure all that is correct:)
    if you need additional infomation, just let me know

  • After the recent update I am having issues with Flash based games freezing and not responding.

    After the recent update I am having issues with flash based programs not running or loading correctly.  The programs will not load or take an extremely long time to load compared to jsut a few days ago.  This happens across the board on anything flash based.  Also, once they do load they will freeze, stop responding or need to be constantly refreshed to come back alive which is short lived at best.  I went thru the help and did all the file deleting, cache clearing, disabling hardware acceleration, removing then reinstalling flash, and even removing and reinstalling my browsers.  None of this has helped at all.  I am using Chrome and it is up to date and I checked my Flash player and it is up to date.  I am running windows 7 64bit.

    Here's what you're up against guys,
    Adobe writes the base code for Flash Player, and then hands it off to Google, who adapt it to a PPAPI plug-in (it's NPAPI when Adobe writes it). It's then "PepperFlash" and Google embeds it in their Chrome browser. While Google is pushing a "webwide" move to PPAPI Flash Content, a reinvention of the wheel so to speak, not everyone "got the memo", and Google is slowly making it so that PepperFlash will block NPAPI Flash content from running properly, and you have to disable PepperFlash to force the NPAPI plug-in to work, which sometimes fixes it, sometimes not. I have a feeling this is only going to get worse. HTML5 will eventually resolve the video end but game developers need to come up with something that won't require a plug-in.
    And to the first post:  Since PepperFlash is embedded in Chrome by Google, you can uninstall and reinstall Flash Player from here until your hard drive literally seizes up.... guess what? It has NO EFFECT at all on the PepperFlash plug-in in Chrome because it's a separate file in a separate folder and the uninstaller & installers don't have anything to do with it.

  • Issues with Flash player in CC

    Hi,
    I am facing this issue with Flash in CC. We have recently upgraded our Adobe suite from CS6 Master Collection to Adobe Creative Cloud ENT.
    The video playback in the software(Flash in CC) is incredibly slow and choppy, which makes it difficult for students to work on their animation.
    This is happening with all PCs using Flash CC, there are few students who have Flash CS6 on their PCs and they aren’t having this problem.
    Thanks,
    Ram

    Hi Mohan,
    Thanx for the response. below are my specs:
    Specs:
    Windows 7 Pro, Service pack 1, build 7601
    Intel Core i5 760 2.8Ghz
    5 GB RAM
    Nivdia Gefore GT 220
    Just tried your recommendations.
    The performance issue exists for both the stage/timeline playback as well as test movie. I tried the suggestion to close the timeline and it doesn’t seem to make any difference.
    When playing back footage, the FPS display on the timeline can be seen to fluctuate.
    I’ve also tried another thing: Closing Flash CC and opening the test movie SWF file, which opens in Flash Player 11 and it plays perfectly fine.
    Tanx.. Ram

  • Interface freeze issue with Flash Projector

    I am facing an interface freeze issue with Flash Projector running a flex state based application. A Flash Projector exe was generated from a standalone flash player ver 10.2. The target machine on which the problem occuresd has 10.3.
    Basically "screen freeze" means that the user interface is running as usual on Flash Player, but it's not responding to any user input (like button presses). But if we alt-tab to another application, the state changes in the Flash player. There is display with buttons on the screen, but touching the buttons or doing anything else - it did not respond.  Rebooting the computer fixes the problem.
    Can you suggest why this is happening? Is there any known bug in Flash Player.
    The problem is this is being hard to reproduce on the developer workstation as it doesn't happen always. But it happens quite often on the target machine running an Intel Atom N270. What debugging steps can you suggest?
    Problem Description : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z25oV9QWRyk

    First, thanks for the video.  Having this always makes it much easier to understand the problem.  A couple of recommendations.  First, if you feel like this might be a player bug, please add a new bug report over at bugbase.adobe.com and if possible please include any sample code or swf's that can help us reproduce the problem internally.  Linking the video would also be great.  In addition, would you mind reposting this question over on the Flash Professional forums?  This forum is primarily for end users, the Pro forums will get you in touch with a wider developer audience who might have additional feedback.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Sollution to Firefox 3.6.8 issues with Flash 10.1.53.64 !!

    Sollution to Firefox 3.6.8 issues with Flash 10.1.53.64 !!
    Had the well known problem after upgrading to 3.6.8.
    Found that many people had the same problem also.
    After investigating A LOT about this one i've found that if you set, in about:config, the parameter " dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll " to FALSE it solves the problem !!
    So...
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll == false

    While I have not contacted Adobe, I am sure the answer will be don't use Firefox 3.6.8. ( The compliment to the answer you gave. It not Firefox that has the problem but Adobe.)
    Since the only solution that I have seen is to disable the key reason to use Firefox 3.6.8 (crash protection) then the problem would appear to be in how Firefox as done the crash protection.

  • Serious Power Issues with T61

    All,
      The organization I work for has started to have some serious power issues with our T61 model Thinkpads. Additionally, the problem now seem to be carrying over into our T500 Thinkpads.
      About 4 months ago we started receiving consistant calls regarding users that can't power their laptops on. These are T61 and T500 laptops mounted to mobile carts in our various nursing units in numerous hospitals. These laptops sit stationary for 95% of the time and are almost always plugged into wall power. We quickly discovered that the only way to get the laptops to power on was to unplug them from all power sources and reseat the battery, after which they powered right on. We've had this problem in the past with users T61s that aren't on carts, but this is slightly different as the batteries on the cart mounted laptops are always 100% drained after we reseat them.
      I'm completely baffled by this issue. I've tried every variation of 3 different carts, -- one with external battery on cart, two without -- both 90 and 65 watt power supplies, and standard and 9 cell batteries that I can come up with and the problem continues to occur. Initially we had atributed the problem to ESD because this started during the low humidity months of winter, but it is now spring and the problem is still happening.
      Under normal circumstances I'd just replace the few ailing laptops and call them in under warranty, but this seems to be a general model issue as this is occuring across the board on 100+ laptops at this hospital alone. Any assistance to help identify the issue and/or how to resolve it would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    David

    Slider5634,
    Do you have a critical situation open for this?  If so, while you are free to post here, working through the project office as a managed account should get you to the right level of support to address an issue that sounds pervasive, and may or may not be influenced by unknown environmental factors.
    If you don't have a situation open, then I would urdge you to contact your account rep.  If you need help, or unsure of this, please send me a PM with your contact information, and your hospital or corp account name so I can get you the right level of assistance.
    jgm1234,
    What model type T61's are you experiencing this issue with?  Can you provide some more information here about the situation?  Configuration, when this first started occuring,  environment (connected to lan, wired / wireless, stand alone, all in same physical location, or distributed at multiple locations, etc)
    Thanks!

  • Z87-G65 power issue with usb(port reset failed)

    All,
    I'm having an issue with my motherboard and wanted to see if anyone had suggestions.  In windows 8.1 if I have my webcam or external hard drive plugged in USB.  I get this error the the USB device is not recognized and the port reset failed(code 43).  I noticed when I turn on the PC and it's booting the light on the webcam and hard drive flash like it's not drawing enough power to stay on.  The boot sticks at 9c on the screen and I have to reset.  When windows boots they turn off.    Since it's before windows boots I think this is either a MB issue or a power supply issue.  I have a corsair 750 watt power supply so plenty of power.  Any ideas?

  • Macbook Pro power issues; Dim charging light, limited power.

    So I'm having some serious concerning issues with my 15" MBP while connected to AC power. Recently my AC adapter gave out so I bought a replacement on ebay. While waiting for it to arrive I used a borrowed a 65W charger to charge between uses, which as I understand should not be an issue especially when only charging. At some point the charge light on the 65W began showing only a very dim green. It still worked fine on the Macbook.
    Upon receiving my new adapter and plugging it in, I observed the dim light again and decided to try and see what was going on. The system profiler registered a charger present but not charging, but the battery seemed to charge regardless. When using the computer on AC power, battery life would decrease slowly and it would eventually fall into sleep mode when the battery hit zero. Something that seemed to be accelerating from what I imagine to be the battery on its last legs as it had been giving a "Service battery" warning for a few months before this. Eventually the computer began to shut down and attempt to restart immediately on startup with the battery, and operated on AC only, without the battery, as long as I didn't use any applications that demanded high performance from the CPU.
    I have tried resetting the PRAM and SMC with no avail.
    Well, I just received a new battery in the mail (not that I expect it to fix the main issue), and I'm hesitant to try to charge it.
    Basically, what I'm wondering is should I be worried about damaging the new battery with what seems likely to be a damaged charging circuit?
    Also, from what I gather, this problem is usually related to the left I/O board where the magsafe and charging circuit is.
    Is there any way to determine where the fault is for sure before I go buying replacement parts? My hope right now is that it is in fact the I/O board and not the logic board because of the cost of a new logic board and the fact that I could easily replace the I/O myself.
    Any insight at all is greatly appreciated.

    Here's a link for troubleshooting the power adaptor:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1713
    Also check for any debris in the power port which may be keeping the adaptor from making good contact.
    It's always possible the power adaptor from EBay is faulty. You need to try a known good on, like a working one that a friend has or one at the Apple Store.
    Is the new battery a genuine Apple battery or a third party battery. Third party batteries can be difficult to get working. I have one from OWC that's like that--it takes its time to begin charging instead of starting to charge in a second or two.
    The best way to troubleshoot all this is to try a known good battery and a known good power adaptor. Your new ones are still in unknown condition. If you have a friend with the same Mac who has known good battery and power adaptor, you can try those in your Mac--and yours in the other Mac, and narrow down the possibilities.
    If the Mac fails to charge even with a known good battery and power adaptor, there's a good chance that the I/O Board is bad. But I don't know of a definitive test that would tell you for sure.
    Good luck!

  • Color management issues with Flash CS3, please help?

    Hello everyone.
    I am having issues with color from a Jpeg image produced in Photoshop CS4
    after importing onto the stage in Flash CS3. The color in Flash changes the image to a lighter less saturated state. Yuk.
    Here is a link to a screen capture to show you what's happening (for a bigger view):
    http://www.rudytorres.com/color/weirdcolor.png
    As you can see the front image is the Photoshop image showing the sRGB color profile embedded but Flash (behind) changes that color.
    This client is quite picky and she will notice this difference.
    If any one can help, please.
    - Rudy
    P.S. It's a button somewhere, Right?

    Dougfly,
    Only an hour wasted? Lucky you. Color is an incredibly complex subject. First, forget matching anything to the small LCD on the back of your camera. That's there as a basic guide and is affected by the internal jpg algorithm of your camera.
    2nd, you're not really takeing a color photo with your digital camera, but three separate B&W images in a mosaic pattern, exposed thru separate red, green and blue filters. Actual color doesn't happen until that matrix is demosaiced in either your raw converter, or the in-camera processor (which relies heavily on camera settings, saturation, contrast, mode, etc.)
    Having said the above, you can still get very good, predictable results in your workflow. I have a few color management articles on my website that you might find very helpful. Check out the Introduction to Color Management and Monitor and Printer Profiling. In my opinion, a monitor calibration device is the minimum entry fee if you want decent color.

  • I am having a very fustrating issue with flash

    I am running flash in IE8 on a win 7 laptop with flash version 10.1 plugin.  i can install it and it will run for a while. but once i restart my system or close my browser and start it up again.. it starts to crash. then the problem will migrate to my other browsers.( firefox and chrome) this has started happening since i upgraded to 10.1 from 9. whatever.  and i cannot just re-install it to get it working again.. i have to shutdown all browsers. uninstall flash through the control panel reboot , then install , reboot then it MAY work. any help would be very appricated. the biggest culprit is facebooks flash app cityville. It is the one that is really causing this issue.

    Hello BaoBae,  Since no one knows what problem you had, since you didn't start a thread, it's difficult to offer your solution to others. Especially when you don't know what their problem is:-) There is no one fix.
    Why go thru everything you have posted here, when the problem may be a simple turning off the hardware acceleration feature? This is just one example. Or how about  an addon in the browser and disabling it and that is the solution?
    Offering a solution before knowing the problem is having the cart before the horse and really isn't helpful.
    You most likely know what your problem was, but no one else does that you are giving your solution to on the threads here.
    If this solution solved whatever issue you were having, that's great. But it won't be for everyone, nor should it be.
    Finding out the problem and then the solution is always the order:-)
    Thanks,

  • Firefox constantly freezing due to issues with Flash. Please help.

    I was running the firefox 20 beta (and have been for a while) when in the last few days, suddenly any time I tried to open any site that used even the slightest amount of flash, the browser would freeze for minutes on end before finally releasing a "plugin error" type message about Shockwave Flash. If i clicked 'continue' it would stay frozen. If i clicked 'stop script' then sometimes it would fix it, but most of the time it would keep freezing and showing that same message over and over until I stopped the process in task manager.
    First I tried to update flash and shockwave- both are up to date. So i decided to delete the files themselves and the programs via add/remove and reinstalled them. Still did not fix the problem.
    Next I tried to do a reset firefox to default state. This didn't work. I tried doing it again with the flash files deleted/uninstalled AND I rebooted the computer and the problem still persisted.
    Finally, I tried to downgrade to a more stable version of firefox, so I downloaded 19 and it still didnt work. Tried the uninstall/re install for flash one more time and nothing.
    At this point, I cannot access about half of the pages I usually go to on the web and I need help here, please anything will do.
    One thing that I noticed that might be helpful is that no matter how many times i uninstalled or reinstalled flash, every time it would try to run, task manager would show two instances of it, each using different amount of memory.
    again, please please help. If there is any solution short of a total wipe it would be greatly appreciated

    hello, maybe it's an issue with the protected mode in the flash plugin - you could try if [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-crashes#w_solution-2-downgrade-to-flash-10-3 downgrading to flash 10.3] (which is still supported) or [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround disabling protected mode] makes a difference.
