My WRT54G suddenly stopped working please help.

Hi, i recently configured the security of the router, and then when i pressed the auto connect on the router it can no longer send a wireless signal... i tried to press the RESET button on the back, it should return it to the factory setting right? but when i connected it it wont give me good ip addresses it says limited or no connectivity, even if i manual set the ip. then try to access the home page it would not work.
i have some ideas how to fix this but i dont know if it is possible or not. :
1.) reset the router from a computer without accessing the page.
2.) go to a service center (if there is an available in the philippines...)
3.) overriding the firmware without accessing the page
please help, or else i would need to spend another 40-50$ for a new router T_T
i also tried to download the easylink firmware, or the easlink connect
but i get a 550 error when accessing the page, the online chat is no help either, they say i am on first queue but no one is answering :/

Hard reset your router for a minute...
Press and hold the reset button for 1 minute...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 1 minute and re-connect the power cable...Also make sure that your computer is set to obtain IP automatically, disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer before trying to access the setup page...Now check if you can access your router set-up...
Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1...
If you get the above mentioned ip address and gateway then you should be able to re-configure your router...If you get an IP Address of 169.254, then reset the router again...If still you don't get the above mentione ip address and gateway then you should give a static ip address on the computer...
Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network Connections- Right click on the icon for Local area connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the following IP address'- Provide IP Address - 192.168.1.5, Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway - 192.168.1.1...Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window...Now try to ping the Default Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press enter, see if you get 4 replies...If it does not then try to diable and security softwares/firewalls on your computer and try to ping it again, you should get 4 replies...
If you get the set-up page then you can configure your router...

Internet sharing suddenly stopped working - please help!

I have been sharing my internet for weeks from my computer but this morning it suddenly stopped working. I've tried changing the password, changing the channel number, and changing the Network name to a simple one, but it is all not working Apparently the authentication server is not responding? How can I fix that?

I'm having the same problem. I had internet sharing set up on my iMac from Ethernet via AirPort, and received quite well on my MacBook and iPod Touch, and then one day, it just stopped working. I'm assuming that some update or other caused this problem, but I have no idea which (I mostly use the internet on my desktop machine, so it may have been several days before I noticed the problem). I've tried with-and-without a password, and also tried sharing from my MacBook to the iMac and iPod Touch, and I can't get any bandwidth (I can connect to the 802.11 network that I create, but I can't get any internet through it).

WRT150N router has suddenly stopped working - please help :)

I really don' know much about how routers work, so I am hoping you all can help me. I have a home PC and an HP notebook. We have a cable modem and a linksys wrt150N wireless router in order to use the laptop around the house. It was working fine up until 2 days ago, when it suddenly just stopped working. Nothing has changed. I've tried unplugging, rebooting, resetting the little button on the back of the router. I've tried clearing and refreshing the IP address. The wireless and the security lights aren't lit up anymore. I have tried to repair but I get the errors can't acquire a network address, and can't renew the IP address. I've tried reinstalling the cd that came with the router. I get router not found. Please make sure the router is properly connected. I don't know what to do anymore. I can't get to the router set up because I can't use the internet without bypassing the router and connecting directly from modem to computer. Is there any way I can fix this or is this router toast? We've only had it for 2 years. I am running XP on the PC, and Vista on the laptop.
If anyone has any idea what is wrong, please please let me know. I have school work to do on the laptop and really need my wireless connection back.
Thanks so much.

If you are unable to configure your router using the setup disk, then you can configure all the settings on your router manually.

Brand new ipod touch suddenly stopped working. please help!

I was messing around on my brand new ipod touch and it suddenly crashed. it flashed a static-y black and now the screen is bluish white and won't change. I tried holding both the home button and the black button on top of the ipod and neither helped. I even connected it back to my mac book but nothing happened. please help! i've only had it for two days!

That sounds like a mechanical problem. You might want to insert and remove the headphone plug several times and see if it fixed the issue. If it does not, call Apple. 800-275-2273 in the U.S.A. and I think Canada.

Ipod apps suddenly stop working, please help very fustrating!

I got a new Ipod Touch and sometimes the apps I've downloaded work fine but then some of the apps, after I tap on them, will load for a few seconds and show the splash screen but then will stop working and I'll end up back on the home page, and I have to re-install them from the app store so they will work again, Why does this happen? thx!
(Ipod 2g) (latest firmware)

There is a thread I think similar to this
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1735940&tstart=30
I had something similar happen. I ended up deleting the app and then downloading them from my computer. I have also heard that if you restart your ipod before running the app for the first time that may work. Apple though is aware of the issue.

WRT54GS suddenly stopped working

My WRT54GS Linksys wireless router suddenly stopped working. It is not an Internet problem because if I disconnect my router the Internet will start working again. I am connected thru a DSL connection. My router's power light will not stop flashing but all the other necessary lights are on. Any help pls...
Message Edited by nova_flush on 04-18-200702:30 PM

If the Power light is flashing thn thr is 100% problem with router. Power light should be solid green and other lights can be flickering.
Try to change power cord or reset the router for 30 sec and unplug pwer cord and plug back after 10 sec.
Remember powerlight should become solid green.
If not contact tech support bcz it may have gone bad and u will need replacement,
so contact as soon as possible before u run out of warranty period of the router.

Java in suddenly stopped working. Help?

Java in suddenly stopped working. Get "inactive plugin". Things were fine yesterday. Checked Java preference and everthing looks fine. Running os 10.6.8. Does anyone have a fix?

The recently released Java 7 Update 11 has been blocked by Apple through its XProtect anti-malware feature in OS X.
Oracle issued the latest update to Java earlier this month to fix a serious zero-day security flaw. The threat was so serious that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security had recommended that all Java 7 users disable or uninstall the software until a patch was issued.
Apple took action on its own and quietly disabled the plugin through its OS X anti-malware system. And as noted by MacGeneration on Thursday, Apple has again updated its OS X XProtect list, this time to block Java 7 Update 11.
Because Oracle has yet to issue a newer version of Java that addresses any outstanding issues, Mac users are prevented from running Java on their system.
Over the last few years, Apple has moved to gradually remove Java from OS X. The Mac maker dropped the Java runtime from the default installation for OS X 10.7 Lion when the operating system update launched in 2010. Java vulnerabilities have been a common exploit used by malicious hackers looking to exploit the OS X platform.
Most notably, the "Flashback" trojan that spread last year was said to have infected as many as 600,000 Macs worldwide at its peak. Apple addressed the issue by releasing a removal tool specifically tailored for the malware, and also disabled the Java runtime in its Safari web browser starting with version 5.1.7.
Javascript should not be disabled (it has nothing to do with Java).

My Refine Edge in Photoshop CS6 has STOPPED WORKING, please help!

Photoshop CS6
Windows 8.1
I have been using refine edge with no problem for months.
everything worked great!
I was able to extract out hair and edges very, very, very well...
but about 2 weeks ago...something changed... the refine edge brush no longer works.
When I click on Refine Edge... instead of a brush icon, I get the CIRCLE with a SLASH and my system keeps dinging because the tool is just not available.
I deleted my preferences...but it is still a problem
NOW... when I adjust the sliders, i don't see a preview of the adjustments...
Please help!!!!

i have tried to check and uncheck everything...
if i adjust the sliders, i get NO Preview... but when i click OK, the resulting photo has been completely ruined by the tool...
I tried deleting preferences...no change
the weird thing is that this problem was very sudden. Just a few weeks ago, I was using refine edge with NO PROBLEM. it is my GO TO tool for extracting people out of pictures...
but then one day, it just stopped working...
Do i need to reinstall CS6???

Ipod nano 6th gen touch screen stopped working please help

Everything on the ipod nano 6th gen is working except the touch screen and once it goes to sleep i have to hold the sleep button and the volume down button to turn it back on. I went into the volume -, sleep, volume + menu and went through the tests and in the touch panel error check section it says i have IC error reported: 0xFFFFFFFF. Please help as i have reset and restored and update itunes etc. Do i need to send it in to apple? The touch screen was working at one stage and then i disconected from the computer while it said eject first (this is when the touch screen stopped working) and put the ipod on a different computer. The first computer was windows 7 which i used just to charge it a little and the second one im using is windows vista.

I have had the same problem and changed three Nano's. Each time the fault is diagnosed by Apple as "water damage".
If you take your Nano to one of their maintenance centres they will look into either the headphone socket or the power dock and and tell you that you have infringed the warranty by somehow getting the thing wet.
Basically is a poorly designed piece of kit whereas a simple shuffle is way more robust.
I have given up with my Nano and am now using an old model

Sudden stop. Please Help!

Yesterday, while listening to my music from my PowerBook to my stereo via my airport express, the music suddenly stopped. Literally, mid-song...the music just stopped playing.
Ever since that point in time, I can no longer connect to the Living Room speakers. Internet still works just fine on both my computers. When I click on iTunes and switch from Computer to Living Room, it gets stuck on the "Connecting to Living Room" with the stop button available.
Any ideas as to what happened?

P.S. I can't even make this stuff up....I bought my Airport Express 92 days ago. I actually believe there is someone out there who's out to get me. It's a conspiracy theory for sure....but this kinda stuff happens to me all the time!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Realtek Mic stopped working Please Help.

I'm on a Toshiba NB205-N325BN, Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel Atom processor N280 o 1.66GHz, 512KB L2 Cache, 667MHz FSB Mobile Intel® 945GSE Express Chipset. Audio Driver is a Realtek High Definition Audio driver version 6.0.1.5904
My internal mic stopped working. I'm not sure how long it hasn't been since I don't use it all the time, but when I went to use skype last night I found that the mic wouldn't work with anything even the sound recorder program in the accessories folder. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, but to no success. I figured I give this forum ago to see if any one could help otherwise I'll have to call the Toshiba support line or do a clean install of windows (which I do not want to do at this time.)

I actually got in contact with Realtek's support via e-mail, and they sent me a program to install that will let them check their devices that are on the machine. After I ran the scan this is the conversation that we had:
Realtek: "We found you had plugged a external mic to microphone jack. Have you tried to unplug external mic and then check the built in mic ?"
Me: "I don't own an external mic, but I did plug in my headphones into the mic port by accident recently maybe that was it? I don't have anything plugged in right now and it's not working."
Realtek: "Please try to dump audio info again(run the scan again) during recording interanl mic sound."
After I ran the scan again they sent me these instructions, and I'm kind of confused on what he means (I think the support is in Asia somewhere and they are translating each message at a time.)
Realtek: "We tried to check it with TOSHIBA. Your machine supports audio prower download feature after audio idle status. You can try to turn off this function on the Power Manager Page of Realtek HD Audio Manageer. Or you can try to plug headphone jack to keep audio power up state .
Can anyone help me understand that last part? I went to the Audio Manager and I didn't see a Power Manager page anywhere! Does "Or you can try to plug headphone jack to keep audio power up state." Mean that it might start working if I try to use it with headphones?

My Mac Pro stopped working-please help!

When I press the button to start the computer, it does not start anymore!!!! The silver light above the button flashes rapidly and there is a sound of a high-speed fan. This remains for as long as I let it be going.. I eventually shut it down - with the same start/end button, and the - after a while I tried again, hoping for some reset... But to no avail. When the "turn-on" (start) button is pressed again, the same scenario repeats itself: rapidly flashing silver light above the "start" button, and the sound of high-speed fan... Nothing further... Do you have any idea, as hat might happen? What is possible to do in order to have it working again?
Please help! Thank you.

If it's RAM, you can replace it yourself. Check the memory risers. If one of them has a red LED on, that's where the fault is. It could be either a DIMM or the slot it's in. You'd have to switch the DIMMs around to determine that.
