"Palm Powered " screen flashing constantly after HotSync

Bonjour !
Just after I downloaded and installed "PIM Support Update" and performed HotSync, my device, a Tungsten E2, started showing the "Palm Powered" screen for 15 seconds, then going blank for 4 seconds, then repeat constantly... !!! Impossible to do a hard reset..., it continues forever !!!!!
Anyone has an idea of what is happening and what I could do ?

Hi Claude, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
I don't now what "PIM Support Update" is...it is not listed on the E2 page as a support download for the E2 so perhaps you could tell us what that is and where you found it.
Anyway, this article lists common causes and fixes for Palms that are looping, flashing or frozen. Hopefully it will help you break out of this loop.

Black screen flashing constantly recent upgrade to Yosemite

I upgraded to Yosemite yesterday on my brand new macbook pro with retina display and this morning i had some issues with my fonts so as i was looking in the library folder to try and find the font problem all of a sudden my screen went black and then started flashing every second to the normal screen and back to black. Now i can't even log in with out it constantly flashing black - can anyone help as i've no idea what i've done to it or how to resolve the issue because i can't get onto it!

I managed to solve mine by rebooting my mac in recovery mode (hold down cmd + R when you turn on) then reformatting and re-installing OX S Yosemite. Unfortunately it means loosing all your stuff but it's stopped the problem for me! Hope this helps.

Screen flashing grey after startup and no status bar

Recently, whenever I try on my mac for the first few minutes after the startup, the screen starts flashing to grey and back.
After the flashing stops, I got no status bar. I can still press the buttons there (Wifi, Bluetooth, etc) but cannot see them (as seen in image).
Does anyone have any clue what it might be?
Thanks in advance!

Try this:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

How many times should my screen flash white after a restart?

Every time I do a Restart on my 17" MacBook Pro, the screen goes black, then flashes white for a few seconds, and repeats over the next 2 - 3 minutes approx. 4 more times. I am used to seeing this process only once on my previous MacBook Pro's. Is this a common sequence?

Mi iPod touch screen flickers constantly after iOS6 update

I have an iPod Touch 4th Gen and I recently downloaded the iOS6 update and tried to install it but after 12 hours of the black screen with the Apple logo and progress bar, I decided to just restore it because no progress seemed to have been made. After restoring it from my last back up which was earlier that day, it looked as if things were working fine but as soon as I unlocked my iPod, the screen started flickering rapidly between the normal screen and the updating screen that I was stuck with for 12 hours until it just took over completely and all I could see was the update screen. I tried pressing the home button and the lock button but it seemed to just be frozen. From what I could seen from the normal screen in the background, there was a message telling me that the update was complete.
After a while of no progress, I attempted to restore it several times in hopes of it working smoothly but it always ended up the same as before. I was thinking of just restoring it to default settings because the only thing that I really need are my few thousands of notes that I've kept over the past years because everything else has been stored on my computer and so thinking that they were backed up on iCloud, I logged into iCloud and saw that only a few were transferred.
Are there any suggestions as to what I could try?

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Error 6 while restoring iPhone 6 with red screen flashing

I was trying to update to iOS 8.0.2 which failed. Since then, I have been trying to restore my device to the earlier version. While I try to restore, iTunes would say "extracting software" after which it would say "waiting for iPhone" and then I get this "An unknown error has occurred[6]" On repeatedly trying, once I got an instance when there was a scary red screen flashing right after the apple logo that shows when booting the device. And this loop of "red screen flashing" and "the apple boot logo appearing" would continue forever. Anybody else face such problems? Any solut

Error 1015 is usually a downgrade error. If you are restoring to 4.2.1 firmware then this is most often due to iPhone having iPad baseband. Did you get this iPhone from someone else? If this is the case you will need to search the web for help. Search for iPad baseband, 1015, etc.

Screen flashes and won't turn on, what could be broken?

Hi guys,
All of a sudden my macbook pro won't turn on anymore. I press the power button and the screen flashes for a second, the front light stays on, white, but nothing happens, no noises at all, not even the harddrive or the cpu cooler startup. I really don't know what could have happened and what I can do, could you guys help me?

Between 1 and 2 seconds I press the power button and the screen flashes. After that I press and hold the power button to turn the light off.

My guess is that you have a hardware problem that needs repair.
You might try removing the battery and the AC power and then holding the power button down for at least 5 seconds, then replace battery and AC power and see if it will work.

Palm IIIxe - Fatal Alert after HotSync; [Reset] soft button doesn't; Paper Clip just returns Fatal Alert

I'd done a HotSync and left Palm in cradle; went to work without it so called wife to have her check something for me.   She reported a MEMORY EXCEPTION error, which I've seen before, so I told her hit the soft [Reset] button offered.
She did, and it came back after the "Palm Powered" splash screen with a Fatal Alert and another soft [Reset] button.   No amount of clicking this button will reset it.
Using the paper clip reset, I loop thru the splash screen and another Fatal Alert.   Beyond that, nothing.
Here at the office, desperately needed to see some data which was on the Palm, so brought up the Palm Desktop (v4.1.0).   And was confronted with a Windows XP exception -- do you want to send an error report?     Downloaded and installed v4.1.4 from the website and Palm Desktop works again.
Makes me wonder if there's some kind of date/time issue, that would have triggerd sometime between 11/28 and 11/30, that affected both Palm Desktop v4.1.0 AND the Palm OS that I'd been running on Palm IIIxe unit (the most recent version that WOULD run on IIIxe,
insofar as far as I can tell now, with not being able to get past this Fatal Alert).
Looked for the various cited tinyurl links in this forum that point to reset documentation (hoping for the least destructive; since my last backups would have been done likely in the hotsync that was aborted), yet those links all apparently point to hosts that cannot be reached.
I LOVE my IIIxe and do NOT want to have to upgrade hardware and software for something I have to cradle and sync in order to recharge. Give me a machine that I can replace the batteries at any 7-Eleven or Wal-Mart no matter where I travel.

Not sure what caused this but with the fatal alert message you typically need to hard reset the handheld.
If you had Palm desktop open while Windows, virus software or any apps that do updates did an update and caused the error.
Are you still getting the fatal alert message? You need to hard reset the handheld if you are.
Click on the following link to the kb.palm.com webpage for the article regarding reset procedures.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

You can try a system reinstall:

Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Screen flashes instead of alert sound after 10.4.11 update

After updating to 10.4.11 about 2 weeks ago I noticed that my screen flashes whenever an alert sound should occur. It looks just like the "Flash screen when an alert sound occurs" option found in the Universal Access (Hearing) settings. I toggled the setting found there, but even when it's set to off, my flashing screen alert continues to occur. I know a friend of mine who experienced the exact same problem, but he hasn't found a solution to this (minor, but annoying) problem yet either. I also talked to a "genius" at the local Apple store. He hadn't heard about the problem and couldn't offer a solution either.
Is anybody else experiencing a flashing screen alert? How does one get rid of it? Thanks.

this solved it for me:
i checked my system alerts and found that the alert sound was set to some invalid legacy sound called AIM - probably left over from when i used AIM instead of iChat.
i set the alert sound back to one of the original Apple sounds and viola! No More Flashing Screen!!!

Screen Flashes when opening lid after locked - T410s w/discrete -- Video of problem inside

My computer is set to password lock (in Windows 7) when I close the lid, but remain powered on. When I open the lid of the computer, the screen flashes around 10 times before it gives me the login screen.
My bios is updated, my graphics are turned to 'high performance' ... always on - when plugged in with A/C adapter.
Anyone know what the problem might be?

@paradiddle,
If it is possible, could you try removing the password so when the system wakes up from sleep, see if the screen flashes.
Also when your display is "out" to the TV via HDMI, try pressing Fn + F7 and see if you are able to switch it back to laptop view without rebooting. You could also change this via Display Properties.

White screen flash when shutting down after a suspend

If I have suspended my laptop at any time during its uptime, when shutting down the screen flashes white, but it turns off as usual. This only happens if I have suspened.
There are no issues as far as I can tell, I see nothing much in journalctl when comparing a suspeded shutdown vs no suspend.
Im using nouveau, and I'm up-to-date as of now.
Google hasnt returned much,
Anyone else seeing this?

Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your apps work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
If the problem is present in the test account also, then it is systemwide. In this case try repairing this with the 10.5.2 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
If the problem does not appear in the test account try starting in "Safe Mode" (It will take a bit more time to startup because it runs a directory check first).
If that works go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test. If there are still problems, go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving /Users/Home)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
Let us know.
