P965 Platinum - Power LED Doesnt blink on Standby?

Hi -- I have a P965 Platinum board, running Vista Ultimate.  I am running 1.5B3 of the BIOS, and when I put the system in standby, the power light doesn't blink or otherwise indicate that the system is in standby.
Can anyone else verify whether or not that is working or not?
Thanks.
Rick

The reply from MSI Tech SUpport was as follows, which I didnt buy because I had an Asus P4T-E in the same case and that blinked the LED for standby --- and I sincerely doubt the header is no good since the LED lights fine when powered up:

  • MSI P965 Platinum - power loss

    1. Product Type: MSI P965 Platinum Series

    7. Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition SP2, Ver. 2002
    My main problem is permanent losing of power from mainboard when I shutdown my PC.
    I noticed that devices such as Scanner and CardReader turn off, everytime when I shutdown PC, instead of staying in Stand By.
    I think that it is not OK and that MSI P965 Platinum mainboard doesn’t work properly?! Also, I can't power on the system with keyboard or mouse, 
    even these options exist.
    Thank you in advance for your consideration!

    elgasoni,
    please allow me to tell you what I know about PC and this power management thingy
    1. no WOL (wake on LAN), no Wake on USB, no Wake on PS2
    --> there should be no LED blink on your system while it is OFF, but your power supply still supplying 5V_stby to your board.
    2. with WOL, no Wake on USB/PS2
    --> no LED blink on your keyboard/mouse too, but your LAN port may still blink if you hooked your LAN cable up to a powered router. Again, your PSU is only supplying 5V_stby to your board and the LAN is consuming it.
    3. with WOL, with Wake on USB/PS2
    --> there may be LED on your keyboard/mouse, depending on your keyboard/mouse design. Your LAN port surely blink as condition stated in (2). Same thing, PSU only supplying 5V_stby.
    4. The "S3" suspend mode.
    --> This mode has to be exit from Windows by selecting "standby" and your BIOS must enable it to suspend to S3. The LED will behave the same as in (3), in addition that your RAM is still powered, refreshed to keep its content. If you remove your RAM stick, your system will not be wake up anymore.
    --> If you wake up the system, your system will take you directly less than a second to the Windows to the logon screen with your previous sessionis still active in the background.
    5. "S4" hibernate mode.
    ---> the LED behavior will be like (1), (2) or (3), depending on where you set your system to be.
    ---> When you wake up the system, it takes a few seconds (could be 10 seconds or more, depending on your RAM size) for your HDD to fetch in the previous RAM image back to your RAM.
    So, which behavior you are having right now?
    And now, the potential problem --. LED blink, but no wake up event support, LAN, mouse, keyboard all can't wake up the system, but they are still consuming power. Yup, this could be a HARDWARE problem, or could be solved by BIOS.
    Are you having this problem?

  • P965 Platinum Power Connections

    I am building a new system with a P965 Platinum, Core 2 Duo E6700 and MSI NX8800GTS video card.  On the board there is power connector, JPWR2, which is an 8 pin connector with 4 of the pins covered with tape.  My PS (Antec NEOHE 550) has both a 4 and a 8 pin cable.  Why are 4 pins of JPWR2 coverd and should I use the 8 pin cable?  Also the JPWR3 connector says it is for the graphics card but the NX8800GTS has a 6 pin connector on the card.  Do I need to put power to both JPWR3 and the graphics card?

    Quote from: gbjbany on 31-December-06, 00:34:09
    I have a related question. The JPWR3 connector is a molex plug. Can i just use one of my molex 4 pin power cables or does it need to be the 4 pin 12v connector with an adaptor ?
    I have a geforce 7600gt oc and it doesnt have a power connector, So im not even sure i need JPWR3, i found in a web review that it is only neccesary if running 2 video cards, but that was not confirmed from any other source.
    Appreciate the help.
    "Can i just use one of my molex 4 pin power cables"
    yep, no need any adapters. grab one free from the PSU and connect it.

  • 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

  • WRT54G v6 power LED endless blink

    I just bought a used WRT54G v6, and when I power it on, the power LED blinks green, WLAN and DMZ are off, and the rest are solid green. Plugging right into it shows in XP as unplugged, no different than if the ethernet cord was just floating. I've tried the technical support route which suggested putting a static IP and then using TFTP, but TFTP just instantly throws the message that it can't connect to the server. Sounds broken and dead to me, from causes unknown. Is there anything I should do before starting the RMA process?

    Try this link and check if it make any difference..If not then,it's a time to change the router.

  • Satellite Pro A120-151 - Won't turn on and power LED is blinking

    My A120-151 shut down when I was using it. The power LED on the laptop is blinking: short-long-long-short-short-short-long-short
    Does anyone know what this error code is?

    There's a whole range of error codes associated with the power lights (including both orange and green flashes) They would need to be decoded by a Technician and given that it's under warranty I'd suggest it goes straight back..
    The only exception to this is if you have recently changed the RAM? If so, if it is not properly seated then it can not be recognised and the laptop will fails to start.
    If you have done this, try removing and *securely* reinstalling the RAM (make sure you take the battery and power lead out first!)

    No, i do not have one readily available as of yet.  I am looking for things i can troubleshoot before i spend limited funds on a new ps.  I am aware this may not be possible and i may have no choice but to get another one.  I would hate to buy a ps and find out its the mainboard.
    You have to swap either PSU or mainboard to findout. You can borrow a PSU from friends to test.

  • WRT54GP2 not working - Power LED blinking fast.

    My WRT54gp2 has been working without issues for 2 years. All of a sudden from yesterday, the power LED is blinking fast. I am not able to connect to the web interface. My computer says limited or no connectivity. The internet and WAN LED are steadily lit. Has anyone faced this issue ? Is my router brick now ?

    As the power light on the router is blinking..It means that the firmware of router is corrupted..Check this link to unbrick the router.

  • E2500 Power LED Blinking

    I'm using an E2500 and the Power LED started blinking this week.
    From the manual, this means   “Flashes slowly during bootup, during firmware upgrades, and druing a Wi-Fi-Protected Setup Connection.” We have a wireless printer (wireless disabled), and a Kindle that does use wireless. All other computers are hard wired.  I have not started a Wi-Fi protected setup. The router has been in use since the third week in October, and is more or less OK even though the Power LED is flashing. 
    Why is is flashing?  How do I get the Power LED to stop flashing?
    Thank you.

    Yes, internet connection via the router seems to be OK (both hardwired and wireless).   There may be some degradation, but I'm using a satellite provider so it may not be the router.   However, intermittant connections have occurred within the past few days and that's the same time frame at which I noticed the light blinking.  There may or may not be a correlation.
    We power down all our equipment when we go to sleep (modem, router, computers etc) and power them up each morning.
    The firmware version  on the web site is the same as in my unit.
    I do notice that when I log into the router page the light stops blinking.   When I exit the page it starts blinking shortly thereafter.

  • Equium L40 10X Blinking green power LED

    Hi Guys,
    I have an old Equium L40 that I haven't used it in a while.
    Now when I plug the power adapter in the power led just blinks green constantly.
    I've checked the blink codes but I can't find one for mine. It simply turns green for a second and then off.
    Then green for a second then off and does this constantly.
    I've tried removing the battery for a few minutes and then holding the power button down for a minute, but I just get the same result. The power adapter is a the one that came with the laptop and as far as I can tell works fine.
    Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks guys!

    Hi
    Power Indikator (DC IN) indicates the power status with the AC adaptor connected.
    The green (not blinking) means power is being supplied and the computer is turned on.
    The power indicator on the front of the computer will glow green when the computer is switched on.
    The blinking amber indicates power is being supplied to the computer while the notebook is in sleep mode.
    Unfortunately, the DC IN green blinking status looks like a hardware problem.
    Probably the power supplied to notebook is abnormal or there are some problems with power supply electronic on the motherboard.
    By the way: please check the RAM modules. Remove one and test the unit using only one module in each slot. Check both modules.
    Some years ago, a friend of mine has had some problems with the notebook. The blinking LED indicated the RAM issue

  • WRT54GS wireless drop and Blinking Power-LED (V6, 1.52.5)

    Hi all, Trawling several pages with people mentioning dropping wireless connectivity, I didn't notice a symptom I've noticed on mine: since the troubles started I've got the router located very close by (as in less than 3 feet/ 1 meter). One thing I happened to notice that every once in a while the Cicso loge and Power LED start blinking: connectivity is completely gone, also wired. After some time (30 sec?) the lights come on again and connectivity is restored. I haven't noticed any correlation (yet) to wireless connectivity, but it's quite irritating. Anybody any ideas?

    well sounds like you have a defective device.....
    tried reflashing firmware, if still not working, try calling Linksys and get an RMA #

  • Slow Blinking Power LED

    My system is pretty stable, it can run memtest and prime95 for days without a problem.  but very randomly it will sometimes just completely power off but the power LED will blink very slowly.   sometimes it will go months without this happening, and sometimes it will happen several times in one day.  I've noticed that sometimes it happens when i bump into the system.
    at first i thought something was shorting it out, like when it moved.  but i carefully reinstalled the mobo and checked everything, and i can't find any problems.  I can't reproduce the problem at all, so i can't seem to solve it.  Any ideas appreciated.

    In that you've had the board out and back in, you've checked all the obvious items like loose ide and power cables, memory is firmly seated into the slots, your case back doesn't prevent the video card from being fully seated?  Those kinds of things?

  • E3000 blinking power LED

    Hello,
    Today my e3000 router just stopped working, its power LED is blinking and I cant access its setup page. 
    Is this fixable or is it dead?

    Hi agjurich. You can try doing another reset. This time, please press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds. Release the button and unplug the router.  Plug it back in and check the lights. 
    Another method to try would be to assign a static IP to the computer. You may assign the following:
    IP address : 192.168.1.20
    Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
    Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1
    DNS  : 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2
    Once set on the computer, hardwire the same computer to the router and ping the IP address of the router.
    You may check this link on how to do the ping test, 
    http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=1c771bda3da742b687356adb9a5c9c1a_Pinging_the_Links...
    If the router responds,  by giving you 4 replies, then you may still be able to make it work. If it doesn't, then it's really time to buy  a new one. 

  • Power problems... P965 Platinum

    So I updated my system with new motherboard and CPU.
    Case: Sonata Antec II Piano with Smartpower 2.0 450W
    Motherboard: P965 Platinum
    CPU: Core 2 Duo E6600
    MEM: 1x 1GB 800MHz
    I was short of money that's why I only bought certain new parts.
    After installing the mobo and CPU, I plugged in the main power cord to the PSU and switched the power on from PSU (but not from the power button on the case) and the case and cpu fan started spinning and the DVD-drive can be opened and closed. Now this is weird as the computer is not on yet. When I do press the power button, the leds indicates that the system is on but nothing happens (the fans and dvd-drive are still working). So I think there is bad cabling etc.
    I tried re-installing everything but the same thing happens again. Now I have only the CPU + heat sink, graphics card (geforce 7300), RAM and the D-bracket installed.
    The cabling goes like this:
    the 24-pin power is plugged to JPWR1
    the 4-pin power is plugged  to JPWR2
    the 4-pin power is plugged to JPWR3
    the reset switch, power switch and  hdd led are plugged in to JFP1
    the speaker and power led is plugged into JFP2
    the D-Bracket is plugged into JDB1
    So does anyone have ideas why the fans start spinning when I switch the power on from the PSU switch? Have I missed something I need to do in order to make the system work? I've done everything exactly like the manuals tells me to do (I'm writing this from school, so I do not have access to the system, hopefully I remember the cabling correctly).
    thx

    > hmm.... did you save the BIOS settings before?
    Nope, I'm not able to save the BIOS Settings at all. No matter what the settings are (Defaults, modified,...), After saving the settings, the computer just won't boot. I need to clear CMOS in order to get back into BIOS after saving the settings.
    I think this might be caused by the fact that it saves the FSB to 266MHz (1066MHz) (during boot it displays the message that "266mhz system bus processor is not supported <....> System will use reduced 133MHz bus instead.) So after saving the settings (and FSB to 266MHz), the system is unable to boot. I cannot change the value to 133MHz from BIOS (this is what I tried, so that I would be able to test if the FSB setting is the one that makes it impossible to boot after saving BIOS settings), it can be only between 200-500MHz.
    I'll test more powerful / other PSU in couple of days, MSI's support suggested that. Hopefully that will solve the problem.
