No power - quick green flash when plugged

okay,
it stopped working. I last used it a week ago. It was sitting in my briefcase and went to use it today. When I plugged it the light flashed green just briefly (once). No power is getting to the airport express. I tried other outlets, I tried other adapters. I tried a hard reset. I obviously can't soft reset the station because there is no power.
Please if anyone can help, please help.

What you describe is a classic symptom of a dead Airport Express (despite the brief green flash you see on the status light). This is not a fixable problem - you will need to call Applecare and arrange for a warranty replacement (assuming yours is still covered by the original one year warranty).

I'm getting green flashes when I compress my mpeg2 files....

Does anyone know why I'm getting green flashes when I compress my movie for DVD Studio Pro? It plays (relatively) fine in FCP, but when I compress it (using Compressor) for DVD output I got a movie full of green flashes.
It's really annoying and I can't figure it out. I've had nothing but problems with FCP.
Thanks,

Green flashes when rendering in Premiere CC 2014

Hi there,
I'm an in-house cameraman and editor for a financial business in London. I'm using the latest Macbook Pro Retina with 16gb ram, NVidia 750 graphics card. I've been using the same method for editing for past two years but have only just started editing with the very latest 2014 version of Premiere cloud. I'm mixing PM-100 and Sony EX1 footage which i've done many times before. However i've spend hours trying to get rid of green flashes that have started to appear on the renders.
These seem consistent with using the PMW-100 as the EX1 footage seems ok. I can replace the error clips with something else but then the render error moves to another part of the rendering.
These flashes can't be seen in playback within the editor, only after rendering.
I'm trying to work out if its the camera, camera drives, Macbook Pro Retina or Premiere.
Can anyone help shed light on this?
Andy

I was having the same problem, and couldn't find a fix. It was also screwing up certain effects, particularly warp stabilizer every time I rendered or exported. Finally, I tried changing the renderer from Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Open CL) to Mercury Playback Engine Software Only, and it worked like a charm. Go to File -> Project Settings -> General and select the renderer from the dropdown menu. Make sure to also change the renderer when you export. Using Adobe Media Encoder, be sure to select "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only" in the dropdown menu next to "Renderer" before you export.
This has completely eliminated the problem for me.

T520 display blanks and flashes when plugging/unplugging ac power

the subject says it all.
brand new t520 with optimus (nvidia+intel) display adapter, 1920x1080 screen.
whenever i plus in or unplug power, the display blanks for about 2 seconds, then flashes back on.
the problem occurs whether the bios setting is integrated, dicrete, or optimus, and th problem occurs even if the display settings are the same in power profile for AC and battery.
is this normal? it is very BAD.
thanks in advance.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

hey ghoffman,
uninstall the current graphic driver that you have. let windows install its own generic drivers.
once generic driver has been installed, test again and see if the problem occurs. If it does not, continue by going to our support site via http://support.lenovo.com
download the latest graphic driver for your unit, install it and test again.

24" cinema display flashes when plugged to an imac

Hello,
I have a 24" cinema display and a 20" apple display connected to an iMac 2011 27" with an ATI Radeon HD 6970M 1 GB. The 24" Cinema display starts to flash quickly after the boot of the computer. Apple technician told us however that this configuration should work without problems.
I plug the 24 "cinema display on my Mac Pro rev 1.1 with an ATI Radeon HD 4870/512 MB. I have no problem of display even after a long time of use.
I plug the same screen on a MacBook Air late 2010 with a NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256MB using it as the main screen, the laptop cover down. I also have no problem. I have not tested this configuration with the 24" as a second screen.
The iMac motherboard has been changed once. Whenever I talk about this problem to Apple, I have no answer. Does anyone has experienced this kind of situation or know enough about this kind of problem tell me from where it may come?
Thank you

Hi there tomchr9
According to the technical specifications for the 24-inch LED display, the display is compatible with MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro systems with Mini DisplayPort. Use of these displays with non-Mac hardware is not supported by Apple.

Apple logo flashes when plugged in. can not use at all

every time i plug my ipod to my computer or any power source. the apple logo flashes and i am unable to restart, reset, or any other 'r'. has anyone else had this problem?

On standalone, disconnected from PC,
What do you see on the iPod screen?
What is the iPod battery level?

Ipod Nano will not power on, but works when plugged in. Any fix?

Hello, My wife's Ipod Nano I got her for her birthday a while back will not turn on. She thought the battery was dead and hasn't used it in some time. Now when she or I plug it in it comes on, you can see her music and connect to our Itunes but it will not turn on from battery.
It is NOT the hold/lock button on top I have tried everything.
I tried holding down the menu button and select button, still nothing. What can I do?

If the iPod functions normally while plugged into an external power source of some sort (either USB port on your PC or Mac OR while plugged into a wall adapter), but doesn't when running on battery power, it's likely that the iPod's battery is shot.
You can have Apple or a third party repair center replace the battery for a flat fee. Otherwise, it's time to start saving for a new iPod or replacement.

Power supply clicks twice when plugged in.

I'm new to Mac however I've been a certified PC tech for many years. I recently purchased my first Mac. It worked fine but needed to have the fans cleaned out. I removed the components and power supply just as I would have done for any PC (I was using heel straps and working on an ESD safe workbench). Upon cleaning the components I reassembled the tower (no left over pieces) and heard two clicks coming from the power supply when I plugged it in and when I unplugged it. After troubleshooting the components individually, and still hearing the two clicks I decided to remove the power supply and test it independently. When I plug in the power supply w/o being attached to the tower I still get the same two clicks (making a relay opening and closing sound) no fans or LEDs come on. Falling back on my years in the industry and common since I decided that the power supply needed to be replaced. After receiving the new (not refurbished) power supply and installing it I'm still getting the same two clicks. At this point due to frustration I break down and call the pros. I called four Mac repair facilities (three third parties and The Mac Store) with a question "is it normal for a G5 power supply that is not connected to the logic board to make a relay open and closing clicking sound" and didn't get much help. Since I'm new to Mac I'm unfamiliar with the characteristics of the hardware. I know that if I were to plug in a normal PC power supply w/o the logic board nothing would happen, but I was told by two of the Mac techs that a Mac power supply would still make the same relay noise w/o being attached to the logic board. The problem is that I have now dropped a fair amount of money in this G5 and I have nothing to show for my investment and I don't know where to go from here. If two of the Mac techs were right then I need to send the new power supply back for an exchange, or if the other two Mac techs were right I need to replace the logic board.
The specs are:
1.8GHz Duel Processors
160G Hard Drive
600W Power Supply
2G RAM
512 Video Card
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thank you,
Brian M

Dear Brian,
I'm sure that clicking relais sound is the normal behaviour of every G5 power supply.
Did you use the official service manual for the specified computer? If not, you can download it here (I don't know which of the two files is appropriate for your computer, but one of those certainly is).
The 512 MB video card is not the standard configuration: the maximum amount of VRAM for an Apple supplied ATI or NVidia was up to 256 MB.
Lots of success resolving the problem and regards,
Robbert

I'm getting no power on the MacBook when plugged in. The battery has drained.

The battery has drained on my MacBook and the power cord does not seem to connect. The light on the plug does not light. I pulled the battery to reset and plugged it in again but it does not charge or turn on. What can I do now?

Try a different power adapter?

My iPad just all of a sudden turn to black and now won't open. It is on as it is beeping. Doesn't make sound or power symbol come on when plugged in. How can this be fixed?

Can any one help or tell me what to do to fix this? iPad just went to black screen and won't light up. It is on and is charged.

Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to boot up ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Green Flashes on Preview screen and final produc when i add certain effects

When i add an effect, such as speed up a video clip, when it is rendered i get green flashes when i preview it and when it is fully rendered. Can anyone explain this, as it makes for very poor viewing.
thanks

Download MPEGstreamclip (I gave you the link in my previous post), it is free.
Then you'll need to export the clips as QT movie > ProRes or DV.

HT3964 macbook pro will not start on battery power works fine when plugged in

My macbook pro 15 inch early 2008 model will not start on battery power but works fine when plugged in.

check the battery info.. >about this mac>more info>system report and select "power" on the lefthand column. How many cycles? What does it say about the condition? etc.

My MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal. Anyone have this issue before

It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal. Anyone have this issue before? I've only had this for about 3mos. I called apple support. They tried one thing then said I have to take to the apple store. Unfortunately I don't have one nearby. So before I travel an hour+ away I thought is give it a shot on here. Thank.

Hi S,
Did they have you try an SMC Reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?

I can't turn on my MacBook Air despite trying to hold down the power button and using the SMC method. BTW my battery charger lights up to a green when plugged into the laptop.

Hello cass528,
I would be concerned too if my MacBook Air would not power on. I recommend following the steps in this article when experiencing an issue like this:
