No connection, and the power led on my router keeps blinking!!

Any help would be great!

Ok, you are not going to believe this, but I was having the same problem and now it is fixed!
First, I am no hardware guru, so for those of you who find my fix to be common sense, at least cut me some slack for trying every possible soultion :-)
First, I bought this Linksys model to replace MY EXISTING router, which I think is the W065 or something, a very good G model.
So when I hooked up the E3000, I did what evey lazy gamer does who's in a hurry.....I USED THE OLD, ALREADY CONNECTED, POWER CORD!!
Apparently, this old power cord does not provide enough power or something, because the router simply kept getting stuck in diagnostic mode (flashing power LED). it would occasionally stabalize, but only to eventually (usually inside of 5 minutes) reverting back to Diag mode and loosing all connectivity.
MORAL OF THE STORY: ONLY USE THE POWER CORD THAT SHIPPED WITH THE E3000!!
Hope this helps someone, cuz it drove me insane!!

    my router is dead and the power led is flashing the firmware is corrupt i have tried everything to fix it and i cant access the web based setup

    Assign a static IP address on computer like 192.168.1.10 and see if you can ping 192.168.1.1 if yes, you can try updating firmware using tftp utility.

  • Qosmio X500 won't start and the power LED is blinks every 5 seconds

    Hi,
    I need help my X500 won't start now. I tried to start the NB as usual and suddenly the X500 wont boot or even power up.
    If I press power button it doesnt make any sound, the power LED on button and the second power LED just bliks once and turns of, and keep blinking every 5 seconds.
    I tried to:
    * remove battery and power up with AC only
    * power with battery only
    * remove battery hold power button for 30 seconds and more athen power with AC only, battery only
    but it didn't helped.
    I checked the AC & Battery LEDs, but they are not flashing, they are just RED, so there is not proble in battery or AC.
    Any idea where could be the problem?
    Thanks for help

  • Cannot find the Power Led connector for JFP1 to connect on K8N Neo FSR

    Hi,
    I have just bought the MSI K8N Neo FSR (MS 7030) to build a new computer with (amongst others) an Athlon 64 3000 processor and an Enermax 3051 case.
    I can't even get a start: if I click on "Power" I just get a red light under the Power button for 1 second and nothing start.
    This may be related with the fact that I did not find a "Power LED" connector for JFP1 (I have connected all the others connectors, including the Power LED one for JFP2).
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Precisions:
    At the beginning, I had forgotten to connect the ATX 12V power connector on JPW1.
    After having done that without getting an improvement, I did a Clear CMOS (after having unplug the power cable).
    Now the CPU fan begins to turn just when I switch the power on from back of the case (and not from the power button) and stops turning after five seconds.
    Sometimes, I get an orange light during 1/2 second on the D-bracket LEDs.

    evidently if he fixed it, the solution was posted elsewhere
    so what have you tried so far? has this system ever worked?
    post your PSU specs. try powering up board outside the case in case there is a short somewhere
    I have tried a different power unit, different JFP1 configerations, removing and replacing MB battery, changing the jumper settings on JBAT1 to clear CMOS.
    Everything is just dead, no power anywhere. I get the fan light inside the Power unit to light up for 1 second when i connect the power cable and thats it. Its a 450 Watt power unit so it should be plenty. Maybe i will try removing the board and starting it that way.
    This system has never worked, i just built it.

  • Macbook pro 15" mid 2010 i spilled water on keyboard now it wont power on if the battery is connected and the keys on keyboard doesnt work it works fine with no battery and external keyboard if i order a battery and new keyboard will every else work again

    macbook pro 15" mid 2010 i spilled water on keyboard now it wont power on if the battery is connected and the keys on keyboard doesnt work it works fine with no battery and external keyboard if i order a battery and new keyboard will every else work again lik it did before

    If you have records that show that you've taken your MacBook Pro in for a year to fix the machine, I would escalate the problem to Apple Customer Relations - unfortunately I don't have a number for Spain.
    It would only seem logical to me that if you've been trying to have the machine repaired during the time that the 'recall' was in effect that you should be eligible for a new logic board. But only customer relations will be able to make that call.
    Good luck - take the issue as high up the food chain as you can and see what happens.

    yeah tried all that. the only thing that i havent tried is to delete itunes completely and restart. its the same with the ipad. i havent done a master reset. i just think it has to be something rather simple as it acknowledges that i have plugged in the ipad as it makes the noise it just come up usb not recognized. it shows up as an unknown device that doestn have  any drivers
    its driving me round the bend at the minute

    No. You need a computer with iTunes and an internet connection.

  • I have a iPhone 3GS and the power connection prongs are damaged and it won't charge or sync.  Is there any way to repair?

    I have a iPhone 3GS and the power connection prongs are damaged and it won't charge or sync.  Is there any way to repair?  Or, at least is there a way to charge so I can write down phone numbers and othe rinformation.  My power charge is totally out right now.

    If it will not turn on - you have zero chance of getting anything off the phone.

  • TS1398 my new ipad works perfectly. the iphone 5, however, cannot connect to the same wifi, can barely get a 3G signal, and the power level is at 53% after being barely used for 1\2 a day. Is this a hardware problem?? My old 3Gs was fine until it died.

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

    Keep using it untill it powers off, then charge it to full to re-calibrate the battery.
    If problem persist, maybe your battery needs to be replaced.

  • My MacBook Pro 13'' shuts down randomly while connected to the power cord.

       Alright, so my Mac is shutting down while being connected to the power cord. Though, when I unplugged it, it runs just fine.
    I've read up on the other random shut downs but they seem to be different in my case. I was only surfing youtuve on Firefox, granted I had a few other tabs open but they weren't doing anything that would run the computer hot, and it shut down out of no where. The battery was full and it was still connected to my power cable. The screen went blank and the computer was completely off. I noticed that the light on the plug in wasn't on and switch the outlet that the computer was plugged into and replugged it into my computer. The light came on and after about three or so times of pressing the power on button it came back to life. Though, it stayed on the start up, white apple page and just spun. After a while it looked as if it was about to go to my password page but it shut down after gently moving the computer. The power cable light went off once again. I unplugged it and replugged it into my computer but the light would not come back on. After just removing the cord and pushing the button a few times my computer came back to life and I logged in as normal except for the fact that after it came back on the date and time was reset and several applications needed permissions. It also randomly logged me out of my Facetime account as well.
    All in all I was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem and know what's going on or if this is new. Could it be some kind of spark in the power cable from a broken wire that made my computer shut down or is it something attacking my computer?

    Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.
