After upgrade attempt for 8310, device will not restart -- only blinking red light

Problem: I tried to upgrade the device software to 4.5, and now THE DEVICE WILL NOT RESTART AT ALL. Not with a hard reset. Not using the SIM and battery from my 8310 and putting it in hers. Nothing. Just a red light that blinks in a pattern: two quick blinks, then a pause; two quick blinks, then a pause, etc.
Background: This 8310 had vers. 4.2.2 device software, and something like 2.6 on the desktop. I downloaded/upgraded to 4.6 for the desktop and 4.5 for the device from the AT&T site. The Desktop manager prompted me to install the new device software... looking good. After several minutes, I got an "unknown error" message and it stopped the install.Following a support article, I uninstalled reinstalled both updates, but then the problem occurred: no NOTHING happens on the device screen at all, just the blinking red light when the device is plugged in.
The AT&T store tells me this is about the tenth "dead" Curve he's seen in about a week, apparently all occurring when folks have attempted a software updgrade. Any thoughts/help to offer?
Please help!

HELP! Double blinking red light

I was in the middle of upgrading the software on my curve 8330, the software stopped doing anything, and now my phone is off and just has a double blinking red light.
I figure its now dead, but how can i fix this using my mac?
I see plenty of instructions on how to load a new OS using a PC, but none for a mac
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the forums
It seems you may have wiped the OS due to the accidental shut down. Try pulling your battery out and reinserting it to see if the phone boots up. If not, see how to restore a bricked blackberry: http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry
If you have a recent backup, you can load it onto the phone once you are done.

Blinking red light while in docking base

What does this mean? I don't think it is charging because it will do this all night. Used to be just fine. I haven't been able to find any discussion around a slow blinking red light on the Shuffle...it flashes on and off at about .5 Hz
Ideas? Tried it on a bunch of computers and even a wall charger. Is the battery done? (At only 9 months!)

well, i sort of managed to get the shuffle to an apple authorized repair centre here in bangalore,india where they infact had the firmware updated to the latest and since the charge indicator was showing a red, the executive at the shop suggested that the unit was really low on charge and needed a minimum of 4 hours of charging. Upon charging the unit for more than 6 hours or so, the charging indicator still blinks red(when charging). i am able to play songs for the time-being but it seems the green light is totally conked out.
does anyone know of a repair shop of ipod shuffle in india. the apple dealer was saying its best to discard the shuffle when having problems like this since its best to go in for a new shuffle. i do have another shuffle that cant be repaired:(

Blinking red light of DEATH

Hi guys!
In advance, thanks for your help! So here is my problem and I hope you guys can help a young gal out! I dropped my blackberry and it hasn't worked since. It wont turn on but it will for a few minutes, then will randomly shut off and blink like 2 times in a row in perfect intervals. After it turns off... it will not come back on no matter what. I have tried a different charger and even bought a new battery to put in it... But nothing has changed. Its still the same red light! PLEASE help me... Is there anything I can do that I haven't tried, before taking it to a repair shop and spending a bunch of money for them to tell me they can't fix it?!
THANKS SO MUCH AGAIN!

This may not work if the drop caused some physical damage, but normally for a black or white screen only, and/or the blinking red light:
1) Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
2) On your PC, go to Start > Run and copy and paste the following line exactly (meaning with the quotation marks):
"c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader\loader.exe" /nojvm
3) The Application Loader Wizard will appear -- click "Next."
4) In the "Connection:" drop-down menu, you should see "USB-PIN: UNKNOWN". Click the "Next" button.
5) You should then see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Hit Next and Finish and you are well on your way to getting your Blackberry back to life. Just don't disconnect anything and let the lengthy process finish completely.
NOTE: If you do not see a list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead see the message "The Blackberry Desktop Software does not have Blackberry Device Software for the device that you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator," then you must download Blackberry's Operating System for your carrier and device.
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/BlackBerry_Operating_System_Downloads
Just select the appropriate carrier and network type, select your Blackberry model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the above steps again and you should be on the right path.

I have a Samsung Network Extender, model SCS-2U01, and for the past two weeks, the SYS light has gone from solid blue to a blinking red light, disconnecting me from my business calls. In reading the forums, it was mentioned that Verizon had to reset something on their end to fix the issue. Would you be able to confirm if something needs to be reset to fix the issue? Thank you!

First, try the normal stuff: power cycle your modem, router, and NE allowing time for each component to stabilize before turning on the next in sequence modem > router > NE. If necessary, try resetting your modem and router. If it still doesn’t work verify it is listed in MyVerizon and then calling Verizon Wireless Customer Service at (800) 922-0204. Good luck!

My playbook went dead and does not come back even if I charge it for 24h.
If I push the start bottom a blinking red light come up. I try to re-boot it pushing all bottoms and does not work.
Also I have tried to dowload new software through my laptop but never complete it and get stuck in the middle.
Any idea anyone???
Thanks,

Many others have had this problem - first thing to do is check to make sure your are using the charger that came with your PlayBook. Also check the threads at the top of forum for oft-asked questions. For your convenience here is a link that might help. Good luck.

Have a G3 pismo, works great, but when I plug in the power cord, the light won't come on to indicate its charging. It is charging, and the battery is good, its just that the light won't come on. Could it be something with the backup battery?

I have a G3 bronze keyboard that works, with a good battery, but when the power supply is plugged in, the charging light on the back of the laptop
will not come on. It is charging however, and have two different apple power adapters and both will charge the main battery, it's just that the light won't come on.
Did a reset of the pmu, but no changes. The date stays current, but wondering if the backup battery could be getting weak and affecting it , or is something else going on?

The power connector in the G3 PowerBook is a weak link. Removed, it looks like this:
[image from http://microdocusa.com/specials.html ]
The connector probably hasn't failed, but the solder joints where "legs" on the connector attached to the logic/power board are under a lot of stress after 10 years of use. Little bumps and tugs on the power cord eventually degrade the connection. You can check for looseness easily---see if the connector feels loose when you GENTLY wiggle it with a fingertip. It should have zero play if it's still firmly attached. You can also plug in the power adaptor and see if slight movements if the plug make the light turn on. Pretty diagnostic of a loose connector.
The date stays current,
Make sure you are doing this check correctly. If you have an always-on internet connection, the date/time are fed froma network time server and will always read properly unless you test with the internet connect turned off or disconnected.

My MacBook Pro has a faint blinking orange light on the charger but won't turn on, I've tried many different things to restart it but nothing works

The battery's probably drained and the power brick on the fritz. Unfortunately, if she won't start there's little we can do for software-based diagnosis. You'll have to take it in to a Store or Service Provider for assessment.

My shuffle is blinking orange and won't charge

My ipod shuffle is blinking orange and won't charge.

Blinking orange means "do not disconnect." It may or may not be fully charged.
If you have the shuffle set to Manually manage music or Enable disk use, the light will blink orange until you eject the shuffle. This is because, with those setting, the system has continuous access to the iPod (as a "disk"), so the iPod is technically "in use," even if it is just sitting there.
To eject the shuffle, there is a small eject button (it has a triangle with a line under it) next to the shuffle's name in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES). Click that button to eject the shuffle. If the battery is fully charged, the lighit should turn solid green (not blinking). Not blinking means "OK to disconnect" it from computer.

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!

Photosmart 7450 appears to be jammed, blinking red light

My Photosmart 7450 had been working great until a few weeks ago. It just stopped printing. I didn't change any settings or cartridges. I've tried unplugging everything, cleaning it out, changing cartridges, test prints...
Symptoms:
- When I turn it on the light is green and appears to be functional (Good)
- When I tell it to print it feeds the paper into the proper position (Good)
- The print cartridges start moving (Good)
- Red light comes on blinking and everything stops (Bad)
- When I open the lid the cartridge is on the right side, and when I try and move it by hand it is stuck by a little tab below it
Any thoughts what it might be and how I can fix it? Thanks.

What modem do you have? Is it a pure modem.. ie no router??
If it is a router then the Express has to be in bridge mode.
Assuming you have a pure cable modem..
When you change from the computer to the Airport Express, are you powering down the modem. If it has battery backup for phone you need to remove the battery as well.. it has to be off for around 20min but it can be longer or shorter than that. Restart the modem.. wait a couple of min then plug in the Express which must be in router mode so it captures the public IP.
