Large outside Junction/Control box has flashing red light - bad or normal?

There is a Verizon outside box that is large with a flashing red light on its side. It appears to be a junction or control box mounted on the ground. It has been there for years and I do not remember seeing a flashing red light until now. Plus, my DSL connection has been dropping recently. Can a tech rep from Verizon High Speed Internet answer? Thank you for yur patience.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

These boxes are called Remote Terminals, and yes it is for DSL. The flashing light probably means that the battery backup has failed, so it shouldn't really affect your DSL unless your power goes out. And even then, the battery backup is only to power the voice line to make calls.
I would call 1-800-VERIZON and choose the option about "repair." I've had luck with getting poles replaced/repaired that way. Say that there's a flashing red light on the remote terminal, give the street address, and also give the central office you're out of (IE, your area code and first 3 digits of your phone number should tell the rep where you are). Also, stop by it and see if you can find any writing/markings on that, and tell them that too. Be as specific as possible. Make sure you get a ticket number from them, and make sure they have a call back number.
There was a tree laying on a wire near me, and I made sure I got a repair ticket; the next day a tech called me to say he was headed out that way and asked specific details about the location, what was wrong, etc. A few days later the tree was gone.

My Curve won't turn on and no sign of flashing red light

Hi!
I m all new to this blackberry forum thing....anyway i have a blackberry curve and all of a sudden yesterday it just stopped working. when i looked at the phone the screen was all white so i took out the battery and put it back on thinking that it will come back up but it didnt. Then i took the battery out again and plugged it to the USB(without the battery) because ususally it comes back up, but it still didnt. i put the battery again and plugged it to the USB thinking that it needs to charge but still no since of that flashing red light. I took the battery out and put my friends battery (cos he has a curve too) but still it didnt work. I did try holding down the power (red)button still not back on.
I just dont understand whats wrong with it, its not like i dropped it in the water or dropped it on the floor. I didnt do anything to it. It just stopped working.
Im really frustrated right now...I just dont know what to do..i hope someone can help me
THanks!

I finally got my curve to work. I just left it on the charger for a while and then it powered up. It seems if its a little low on power and I don't charge it relatively soon it shuts down and won't power up for awhile. I've also updated the software and cleaned out the junk files. It seems to be working fine now, go figure.

Bold 9930 - dead and flashing red light

Bold - Verizon 9930, died with flashing red light, non-responsive. Can connect wtih loader, re-loading latest OS for Verizon (7.1.0_rel1737_PL5.1.0.429_A7.1.0.580_Verizon_Wireless) Load fails with "application loader was unable to connect with your device" when it tries to connect with the JVM. I have tried:- fully charged known good battery (tested in another 9930)- wiping device- start without battery, insert battery when JVM message comes up- both BB desktop and Loader directly- two different PCs (no change)- different USB ports- older version of BB OS for device- many, many iterations... All end with "application loader was unable to connect with your device" Is the device scrap? If so why? It's not even 2 years old, out of warranty, and apparently now totally worthless. This one is the CEO's Blackberry, and he's not happy... If I can't resolve this, it will be the very last BB to ever see the inside of our company. This is the second 9930 to die this way in the last 4 weeks.

Hello,
Firstly...

Does RIM care about these failure issues at all I wonder?
If you were hoping for a response from RIM, you have misunderstood the purpose of these forums. These are not a channel for any communications with, support from, nor escalation to RIM for anything. Rather, these are a user-to-user community of volunteers trying to help each other out amidst their own busy lives. So patience perhaps would be a good thing to have...
Nevertheless, 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.
While you've already validated that your battery is good, I don't think you've tried the first part of this test:
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.
While perhaps redundant to what you've already attempted, here are a few more things to try:

KB27956 How to recover a BlackBerry smartphone from any state
http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry
Since you are out of warranty, your next step I suppose would be to seek in-hand support from a qualified technician to give you a proper diagnosis. Doing such at this internet distance is quite a challenge and therefore cannot replace in-hand evaluation and diagnosis.
Good luck and let us know!

Flashing red light on my ACS 4.1

Hello, I have a flashing red light on my ACS. I have searched on Cisco.com to see what this meant and how I can fix it. I am aware that it is a critical error on the system health for my ACS. But what exactly does that mean? How can I figure out what is the problem before it becomes a big issue. Any help is well appreciated! Thanks!!

Flashing Red Light Quit Working

My flashing red light on the front of my 8350i has stopped working. You know, the one to notify you you've missed a call or have an unread email, etc. I've only had it about 2 weeks & was working fine until Friday. It quit working so I took the battery out & put it back in - nothing. Tried again on Saturday morning when it still wasn't working & it started working again...for a while. Now it's not working again. Haven't called tech support yet - anyone have any suggestions?

Do you have set in the Profiles for your active profile "LED notifications" to ON?
Does your signal coverage indicator blink green? Options > Screen/keyboard.

My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

A 2nd gen shuffle is about six year old at this point. The likely cause is a battery that is worn out, with greatly reduced capacity or inability to hold a charge. The initial green light shows a good charge. The red light means the battery is drained.
Since the shuffle still appears in iTunes, you can try doing a Restore in case the cause is related to corrupted software on the shuffle. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.
Also, when the light becomes red and the shuffle stops playing, try turning OFF the shuffle for at least ten seconds. Then, turn it back ON. This resets the shuffle. Does it play again? If it does, let it play until it no longer plays again. Repeat turning it OFF and ON until it no longer plays. Then, connect it to power and charge it to full. See if that makes any difference.
If that does not help, the solution is to replace the battery. If you have a repair shop do it, the cost is probably uneconomical, compared to the cost of a brand new 4th gen shuffle ($50) that has more features, and a new set of headphones, plus a one-year warranty.

8800 upgrade attempt lost usage and flashing red light. No response.

Thought I'd upgrade from 4.5.011 to 4.5.018, at the suggestion of the desktop manager. Things were okay until it stopped. Fatal error message, flashing red light...nothing else. Attempted again, and again. Gentleman at BB store did the same thing. He thinks it's unrecoverable.
I've tried an overnight battery pull, apploader attempt through C and D drives, Problems with applications and software (exe v axl...) Other ideas?

I've tried it 3 times. The program erases the application and then begins loading, which gets about 20% of the way and then stops. Message is communications failure A:0x0000000E. And the red light, which was out while the process was running, comes back on. 2 flashes, stop, 2 repeat.
Point of info. The screen never came on during the erase.
I will keep trying...thanks.

Time capsule has flashing orange light? Anyone help please?

Time capsule has flashing orange light and iMac is saying 'backups delayed'? Anyone help please?

Just do a reboot of the TC to start with.. followed by a full network restart.. ie with everything off.. power on in order.. modem.. TC.. clients with 2min gap.
If that doesn't fix it.. you should do a reset of the TC and set it up again.
Tell us more if you still have issues.
Full network layout.
OS you are running.

My macbook pro It has remained without sound and the connector has a red light

my macbook pro It has remained without sound and the connector has a red light. The analogic sound doesn't work. Thanks for your attention...

    Plug in and remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
Best.

HT2494 the sound won't work on my Macbook pro the headphone port actually has a red light coming from it

Can not get sound on my Computer. The headphone port actually has a red light coming from it. Help

Insert a headphone jack and remove it and see if the light goes out. The red light indicates the switch didn't switch from head phone to your Mac's speakers. Some folks have actually used a match stick to undo the switch.

My blackberry curve 8530 has a red light, then reboots itself a bit then turns off and keeps doing that repeatively.

Flashing red light

Someone told me that if the power light on a Toshiba tube TV is flashing red, that meant the tube was damaged beyond repair. Is this true?

While certain LED codes can indicate that a television needs servicing, I don't think any LED code will indicate that a television is damaged beyond repair. What model has the red flashing LED?

Flashing Red Light on Case

Hi there. New to MSI and this forum. Its been pretty helpfull so far so thanks for that. Now the problem Im having is that the red light(HDD Activity?) on the front of the case is flashing about every second when idle. Sometimes its just one flash at a time and sometimes its a quick double flash. Theres about a second between flashes but sometimes its a little(1/2 sec.) shorter or longer between flashes. Ive scanned it and found no virus wich was my first thought.
Im getting ready to start trying some troubleshooting but will only have a few hours today to do that stuff. Tomorrow Ill have alot more time to get even more into it.
So I thought Ide pose the question here and see if anyone has any ideas or can point me in a specific dirrection.
This system had an Asus A7A-266, Athlon 1.3 before a few days ago when I switched over to the KT4V, XP2400+, and new case.
Thanks in advance for any help and ideas guys.

Thanks Sammy. It was the RW. Unfornutatly there doesnt seem to be any firmware for my burner. HI-VAL 32x10x40(H321040A-15R) I was on hold with HI-VAL for about 20 minutes but I have to leave now to fix someone elses computer.
Im gonna try maybe switching some stuff around later but was wondering if this is an actual problem? Or just an annoyance that I can just learn to live with?
Hopefully it wont hurt anything to run over the weekend. It seems to run just fine.

Flashing red light phone wont turn on torch 9860

phone wont turn on and on charge red light flashes 4 times, any suggestions on how to fix please?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
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 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 carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
Good luck and let us know!
