Phone died and I put it on the charger and the red light keeps flashing.

Phone died and I put it on the charger (wall charger) and the red light keeps flashing. It's been doing that for a little less than an hour, I pulled the batttery twice & get the same light flashing. I also read othe posts and it says to just let it charge for a few hours but i don't think it's gonna work. If you know anything about it let me know please & thank you.

When connected to the charger, is the "no battery" symbol showing?
Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the USB cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage). If it doesn't reboot on the first attempt, leave it several more hours. I've had one charge for two days before it came back to life after an extreme battery depletion. Every 3-4 hours, with the device still connected to the charger, you can remove and replace the battery to see if it reboots.

HT3180 My apple tv box no longer turns on, the white light constantly flashes on and off but no signal to my tv. All devices still pick up airplay but not actually playing. Restoring the box has made no difference, any clues?!

Was the restore done via iTunes?

If so then you may need to take it to Apple.

My BB won't turn on the red light flashes and the key's light up

Hi
I have read all posts relating to my problem, but one thing my BB won't do is resgister on my computer. The phone will not turn on, has the red light flashing and the keys light up, but the screen will not come on. I have tried taking the battery out, charging it all night, all the recommended/ideas from this sight, but no joy. I have only had this phone since July last year. I haven't been able to try updating phone etc as it won't register on my or my husbands computer please help
Louise

Hi,
The way you presented it made me think it had just happened.
So you have had the phone since July has it ever worked?
Most likely you are missing some or all of your device OS and you'll need to reload the device.
Because the phone can't generate enough signal you will have to "force detect it". I've attached the link below. If you want to proceed I'll need what version of Device OS and what version of desktop manager software.
Thanks,

Phone wont turn on and red light flashing 5 times with pause/s in between

i was charging my phone, after 30 minutes i unpluged the plug from the mains and typed in my password. from there on the phone went completely blank and all i was seeing was a red light flashing. I charged the phone for 12 hours and now i cant see the red light anymore. The only time i see the red light flashing is when i use the usb or the phone charger. At the moment the phone is completely blank i cant switch it on. Also ive tried using the usb which didnt help my laptop doesnt recognise it neither does the desktop manager.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Without the use of the charging port, tests will be more difficult, and results less definitive. Nevertheless...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 please that "known good" and "new" are not necessarily the same thing...while rare, a new battery certainly can be defective. The best (and, btw, least costly) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
If the result is that your BB is the issue, then you will need to seek out a local (to you) shop with a qualified BB hardware technician to give you a proper evaluation and estimate. If you remain in warranty, you could instead seek support under those terms (assuming your warranty is not void).
Good luck and let us know!

Plug into charger red light stays on for about 5-10 seconds

Just bought a used 8700 bb and when I plug it in the redlight comes on for about 5-10 seconds and then turns off.
What does that mean?
Also when I try to turn on nothing happens, the only action is when I plug it into the charger and that red light comes on for a brief moment.

E3000 was unplugged, now when plugged back in, the power light just flashes....HELP!!!

My wi-fi signal in the house was showing an excellent reading, but it wouldnt connect to the internet on any of our devices. We unplugged everything, and then when everything was put back together, the routers power light just flashes, and wont even show an internet connection to the computer. I had to unplug the ethernet cord from the back off the router and plug it into my computer just to get online....what should I be doing?

The power light on your router is flashing. Try to reset the router and reconfigure it. Press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 30 seconds. Power cycle the router and wait for 1 minute. if the power light on the router is solid then try to reconfigure the router.
If the power light is still blinking then try 30/30/30 reset on the router.

HT1476 My iPod 5 64gb wont turn on, the screen is just black, it wont do nothing. what should i do?

My ipod just stoped working,is there any way to fix it?

If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, first try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless... Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
You do have a good backup right?
No data will be lost when doing the following: pull the battery while the device is ON. Replace after a minute, Let the device reboot 1-3 min, see if the problem is fixed, Thanks
If that doesn't resolve the provblem, you're going to have to reload the Device OS again.
Here is the link for the Telus software site:

Here is the procedure, you can skip step 3, as you will be loading an older backup.

Is it possible to turn off the sound and just vibrate for incoming email?

Is it possible to turn off the sound on my Verizon iPhone 4 and just have it vibrate for incoming email. Can't seem to find any way to do this!

You could either flip the mute switch or go to Settings > Sounds > New Mail = Off

Laptop wont turn on, the charger light wont come on either

I tried taking the batter out, nothing. Tried a different charger, nothing. Tried a different outlet, nothing. Please Help!!

Hello jmr2r9,
Your computer will not turn on.
Do you get any lights on the laptop?
What happen the last time that it worked?
Do a hard reset.
Power off the computer.
Remove the power cable and the battery.
Hold down the power button for 15 sec while booth power sources are removed.
This should reset the hardware in the computer.
Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

HT5783 My MacBook Pro (Mid-2009) digital output has stopped working. It turns on the red light at the other side of the plug, but fails to connect with my receiver. Output from Airport works fine.

It was working fine until now, and now suddenly, the sound is gone. I've tried PRAM and SMC reset. Nothing works.
Using the same cable with my airport express, through airplay, the sound comes out fine.
It wasn't working when on Mavericks, nor now, on Yosemite.

Hey marcalc,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with the digital output of your MacBook Pro. The following resource may provide a solution:
OS X Mavericks: If you can’t hear sound from your speakers
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13841
If you’re trying to listen through a digital receiver
If you’re using your computer’s digital output port (not available on all computers), choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Sound, then click Output. Make sure Digital Output is selected.
Make sure your computer is connected to a digital-ready receiver using an optical digital cable, and that your receiver is set up for digital input (see the information that came with your receiver).
Try adjusting the volume on your receiver. You can’t use the computer’s volume controls to adjust the volume while using digital output.
Thanks,
Matt M.
