IPod Classic Lock button flashes on and off
My iPod Classic 160 GB lock indicator shows up or flashes when i turn off the lock on the top of the iPod.
Hello,
Can you count the beeps or flashes?
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable
In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

I need HELP! My iPod touch 4 is flashing on and off consistently with a white background apple logo and it won't do anything else. I have to completely unplug the power port from the inside. This started after I replaced the screen. Any advice please help me
So I let it set all night unhooked from the power port and tried it today! It works! It acted like to battery was dead and recognized when I tried to power it on! All I can say it was a GOD thing! ;) I done a lot of praying!

Ipod classic try to start but the apple just flashes on and off.
Ipod classic I try to start but the apple just flashes on and off.
I can't reset and it doesn't show it charging. Not recognized by computer.
It was working just fine in my car, I stopped for an hour, and when I came back it just started the flashing thing.
Anyone have any ideas?Reset it this way.
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

If it is still not working.
Then Restore it using iTunes
Good Luck! -

Alright, I had to do a full restore on my computer and lost everything. Plugged the Ipod in afterwards, and lost all my songs/movies. Well now it told me that I had to download the update in order to put new songs on. I did. Now the ipod is flashing on and off and wont let me do anything. I tried reseting it, and it turns off, but as soon as I let go of the buttons it goes right back to flashing on and off. I need some help. Anything anyone could tell me?
I have the same problem, created first when iPod updated on Friday night. I returned the month old iPod for a new one, installed and was downloading library when the new Ipod went into the same catastrophic failure.
HERE IS THE FIX: (walked through w/ Apple Store Rep)
1. Make sure there is power to the iPod (with all the cycling, your battery is probably drained).
2. Toggle the Lock Switch on top of the iPod 3 or 4 times, then hold Menu and Center Button down simultaneously (same as doing a reset).
3. When the Apple Logo reappears, hold the Center Button and the Play/Pause button down simultaneouly.
4. If all goes well, the screen should say, at the very top, Disk Drive Mode (or something to that effect).
5. If you have been running off computer power, disconnect then reconnect the usb cable.
6. Open iTunes
If all goes well, the iPod connection should appear on the iTunes screen with the opportunity to Restore.
7. Restore your iPod to factory settings. Once the download is complete, you should be back in business. -
Lastnight I was just playing away on my iPod and next thing it just went off, it was fully charged and everything. Now it won't come back on and when I plug it into the wall the apple logo just keeps flashing on and off. I have tried to reset it by pressing the on and off button and home button but nothing. How can I get it working again.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPod is 4th generation and the version is 4.3.5 the lock button is jammed and I need to shut it off completely how can I do this without the lock button
You can't with iOS 4. If you update to the latest, 6.1.6 you can use Assistive Touch
Settings>General>Accessibility
To update
iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
- A 4G to 6.1.6 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later -

6700 Classic screen flashing on and off since scre...
I have just changed the LCD screen on my 6700. The new screen works fine whilst the phone is in use, but as soon as the normal standby happens, ie after about 20 seconds, the screen starts to flash on and off. As soon as any of the buttons is pressed the screen stops flashing and is on and back to normal. I have tried resetting to factory default. Tried to update firmware, but the version is 10.50 and is unable to be updated.
Is there a way to obtain the latest version of the firmware via my PC so that it can be uploaded to the phone?
Is it possible that there may be a fault with the screen or ribbon cable, which is strange as the screen work fine and displays all pixels when in use.
Any suggestions as to what can be tried next?Thanks for speedy reply.
Yes I did change the screen myself as the local approved Nokia Repair Centre would not replace the screen under warranty as they stated that cracked screens are not covered by the Nokia warranty. They then mentioned that they had none in stock anyway and were not placing their next order until 24th October.
I have now put the cracked screen back into the phone and normal operation has been resumed. From this I conclude that although the new screen worked fine when the phone was in use, there is an inbuilt fault that causes the flashing.
Thanks for the info on the updates, that was the process that I was trying to use. Once i typed in the code number from the phone, the website said that 10.50 was the correct firmware. -

my iphone 4s is frozen on the lock screen. my lock button doesnt work and i cant slide to power off the phone. It has 100% battery and nothing happens when i plug it into the computer.
My phone screen also is in negative. It is like twitching and ive tried to invert the colors but thats not it. i cant see any apps, pictures , or anything in regular colors. PLEASE HELPPP!You can't. You'll have to wait until the battery runs out and then recharge the phone. It will restart.
Sounds like now's a good time to get the phone fixed. -
I am having problems with my macbook pro and the dock. About every fourth time I start the computer, the dock flashes on and off, then goes completely off and all I get is the spinning ball with brief moments of the cursor. But the computer locks up.
Do you have Parallels installed by any chance? There is a known problem that causes symptoms similar to this. You do not need to actually be running Parallels at the time and nothing in ActivityMonitor would point to Parallels. An update corrects the problem:
