Power button orange light

i just discovered that the power light is constantly orange. But it used to be blue before.
Any body knows what is causing this? Would be great with a quick answer The computer is an GE70 2PC Apache

The power button light is also an indicator of which graphics in use.
Like JakeSully mentioned, if you have program which is running by using nvidia graphics, then the power button light will light orange.
First, make sure you don't have any programs running by using the nvidia graphics.
If there is no programs running by using nvidia graphics but still lighting orange, try to completely uninstall the nvidia graphics driver and re-install the latest nvidia driver from MSI website and see if the problem still remains.

  • Power button orange light doesn't work after BIOS update on MSI 2A9C

    Hi,
    I have updated my system BIOS (downloaded from HP web site), the computer works I can enter into BIOS setting.
    PC: HP Pavillion p6716it-m
    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
    Old BIOS version: 6.16
    Mainboard: MSI 2A9C (from CPU-Z)
    Data from new BIOS main page:
    BIOS revision: 6.18 01/05/12
    Core version: 08.00.15
    When I put the computer into sleep mode with the old BIOS the power button became orange, now with the new BIOS it is off. In the BIOS setting I have noticed that if I go to: "main -> SYSTEM IDs" the renderig stage is not perfect, at regular intervals some strange artifacts has shown. It seems like when you draw on a window some GUI components without using double buffering.
    After update I realized that the new BIOS in the HP web site is for mainboard: MS-7613. It is equivalent to mine? Thanks.

  • HP6310 won't respond to power button, camera light flashes

    After turning my HP6310 off by unlugging the power cord, I can't get it to turn back on properly. I plugged the power cord back in and the display lights up blank and the camera light in the front lower left flashes. The power button does not light up and when pressed, does nothing.

    Hi @mcdillon99,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that your HP officejet 6310 will not respond to the power button, and the camera light flashes. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
    I would recommend to go through this guide, The HP Printer Won't Turn On or Respond When the Power Button is Pressed. (Even though the guide title may not match your issue, I believe the solutions will help).
    Hope this resolves your issue!

  • TS1587 My friend has a G4 that will NOT turn on at all.  The monitor power button will light up, but monitor won't turn on; the the computer power button lights up when pressed but won't stay on and nothing else happens.  He said it USED to at least turn

    Anyway, not sure if my question was sent, so here it goes:  My friend's G4 won't power on....the power button lights up briefly when pressed, but nothing happens....and, cannot even get the montior to power on...does the same thing.   He said it used to at least turn on, but now it's doing this.   Help!!??  What should we do??

    If you are able to use a multi-meter, you can test to see if the power supply is culprit. Use the Power Mac G4: Power Supply Voltage Test  (Sawtooth G4) document to aide you in the proceedure.
    If not the Sawtooth, Power Mac G4 (Gigabit Ethernet): Power Supply Voltage Test.
    If a Quicksilver, use the pinout of the QS PSU connector here:
    http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/tips/MDDps_mods/MDD_PSMods.html#update
    and a testing description here:
    http://www.jcsenterprises.com/Japamacs_Page/Blog/D275729F-09DA-4FBB-96B3-BEEEB2C 04619.html
    The test description is for a MDD, but the basics are the same.
    If a MDD,follow my instructions in the linked articl above.
    One should also try a PMU reset:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1939
    One should also  replace the 1/2 AA PRAM battery.
    Also, check that the 20, 22, 24 pin connector is properly fitted to the motherboard, and that the wires are properly inserted in the connector. There is also a 10 wire ribbon, which goes from the motherboard to the power button board. Make sure that the ribbon is firmly connected at both ends, and that there is no apparent damage to the ribbon.
    If the power supply tests good in a MDD, the power switch board could be suspect.

  • Hp touchsmart300 pc shuts down, the screen is black, power button is lighted but not responding?

    HP Touchsmart300 PC with operating system Windows 7.
    The PC shuts down even when active. The power shuts down although the power button is still lighted. It does not respond to touch, keyboard, or mouse. The only way to get it back on is by unplugging the power and then restarting windows. I already checked Sleeping Mode and Power Options in control panel, but no problem there.

    I can totally empathize with your situation, as I too had the same exact issue with my HP TouchSmart 300. In fact, I have been dealing with this problem off and on for the last year. I have worked with HP tech support on numerous occassions. I have had them remotely control my computer and restore it to factory settings. I have reformatted my hard drive 2 or 3 times. I have tried multiple anti-virus software programs, removed anything that might cause a conflict with the operating system, etc. Basically, nothing was working for an extended period of time. And, of course HP tech support as this point to me, was essentially useless in resolving the problem.
    It seemed like every few weeks it would start shutting down again. I started researching potential causes and discovered that I was not alone, in terms of the same issue with this computer. From what I read, in many forums like this, it seemed like the probable cause had to do with either the power supply, or overheating. I felt like the problem might be due to the system overheating, so I removed one of the back covers, which worked for a short while. I then removed a second cover, which helped for a few days. I even placed a 20 inch box fan behind the unit to try and cool it down (which still remains in place). However, my computer would just keep shutting down over and over again. 
    Finally, as I was long ago out-of-warranty, I just decided to completely open-up the back of the unit and poke around a bit. I cleaned out all of the system fans, reseated my memory cards, and ran the computer for a few days with all of the covers removed from the back. It would still keep shutting down. However, I did notice that the heat sink and attached copper tubing were pretty hot (even with the 20 inch fan blowing directly on them). So, I removed the heat sink apparatus from atop the CPU. I discovered that the thermal gel was pretty much long gone, and what was left of it was not so evenly applied. So, I ran over to the nearest computer store, and purchased a tube of thermal gel (for about eight bucks). I found some rubbing alcohol and cotton swabs in the house, and proceeded to use those to carefully remove the old dried-up thermal gel from the top of the CPU chip, as well as the heat sink plate (if that is the right word for the part). I applied a fresh even layer of thermal gel to the top of the cpu and placed the heat sink back on top. I turned the system on, and it has been running smoothly ever since (about 2 weeks without a single shut-down). I have even noticed an increase in performance. The top of the heat sink is noticeably cooler to the touch now.
    I realize that your situation may be different, but if your system is out-of-warranty, you might consider this option. It seems to have resolved my problem. I will repost an ocassional update if anyone is interested, thanks.    

  • My laptop won't turn on when I push the power button, just light on the caps lock key blinking

    my laptop hp mini 311-1002TU suddenly hang, and can't to respon anyting from user, then I shut it down by force by pressing the power button, but when I tried to turn it on again, my laptop does not turn on, just the lights in his caps lock blinking, please help to resolve this problem, thanks.

    I would suggest keep trying to turn it on and get the blue screen error code to maybe a get clue of precisely what the issue is. Ultimately, the processor likely needs to be replaced in most of these 1-blink situations. 
    If you have experience taking a laptop apart, here is a link to the Maintenance and Service Guide for your model. Removal and replacement procedures begin in Section 4.
    Otherwise, I would recommend taking it to a local repair shop because they may have processors and/or other parts that they can swap in and out to determine if the processor is actually bad or not.

  • Battery/power issue (orange light stays on while not plugged in)

    I have an X31.  My laptop is behaving as though it is running on AC power when it is not (ie. Charge light is on, power management settings in windows recognizes it as running on AC power).  Battery will not recharge, though windows power management says it is recharging -- it does this regardless of whether the battery is in or not.  Eventually, the battery died completely and computer could no operate without AC (date an time settings would even reset when unplugged).
    On the advice of a computer repair store and forums with people of similar problems, I purchased a new battery.  This did not fix the problem.  The new battery is able to operate on what little power it holds from factory, but computer is still behaving as though it is plugged in when it is not.  
    If the battery is not the problem, what else could it be?  Worried about motherboard.
    Please advise.

    Welcome to the forum!
    The charging circuit on your machine's planar has been damaged. If you're handy enough, you can open up the machine and start looking for a blown fuse...
    As for date and time resetting, you need a new BIOS/CMOS battery, they're under $10 on eBay. If that fails to resolve the issue, you have another motherboard-related problem.
    Good luck.

  • Macpro 17inch just shut down while using.  Tried removing battery and SMC to no avail.  Have had this problem before over the last six months but would always restore.  Now you just click on the power button front light stays on for 2 sec

    Hi, My 17 inch Mac pro laptop just shut down and I can't get it to turn on again.  This has happen multiple times over the last six months.  Looked through the forum and tried removing the battery and resetting the SMC control to no avail. I was having issues also with the screen a month ago but that resolved by itself.  When I took it into the genius bar for screen problems I was told I'd probably need a new CPU board because the vram may be going bad and they just don't fix that
    problem.  Have held off because of a potential $500 repair and awaiting ivy bridge technology.  Does anyone in the community know how I can restart my portable.  Right now you turn on the machine and the front light stays on for 2 sec and you hear the machine click off?

    I think you may have already been told what the problem is.  However look at this and maybe it will help:

  • Is the Power Button suppose to light up?

    Hi, I remember Macbook Pro's power button would light up with white light when it is on.
    My Macbook Air doesn't seem to light up the power button. Is it suppose to be like this?

    jamesjm88 wrote:
    Thanks for you answer! However I still think that it would have been a nice touch if the Power button lit up in white or green. Don't you guys think so as well?
    No, I don't think it's necessary to have a power button light up. If you're already using your computer and it's on, there's no need to additional indicators to tell you it's on. It's already on! The screen is alive etc.

  • Power button light has faded

    ive got a hp pavilion dv5-1123TX which i bought about 6 months back..
    its been working great..but since few days back..the power button's light has stopped working..perhaps it;s because of overheating or something.
    sometimes it lits up on its own but most of the time i have to push the speaker area on the left just below the power button that it comes back to life..!
    second issue which might sound even mroe trivial that the above one..is that some dirt particles have made its way into the diaplsy screen...it looks like just a speck on the screen but is very irritating nevertheless...!
    any kind suggestion as to what to make of the above two problems especially the first one?..can they be fixed under guarantee as the notebook is still under warranty?..what say anyone?
    regards,
    shahzeb

    Hi, if your laptop is still under warranty...Contact Customer care. Remove the hard drive before sending the unit in.

  • DVI to ADC adaptor: Display power button no longer works w/G5?

    I'm looking for answers on a topic originally brought up in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=221092&tstart=45
    concerning the Studio Display's power button when attached to an ADC/DVI adapter for use on a G5.
    I am having the same problem. I had previously used the monitor directly attached to an MDD G4, and the power button worked fine. Now that it's attached to the adapter, I can't power up the G5. The brightness button will open the Monitors prefpane, so I would say that it's not a problem with the overall USB system.
    Otherwise things work fine, so it's not the end of the world, but I'd like some confirmation or denial of the problem just to know if there's a defect or not.
    TIA
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    It is working normally. ADC has extra pins to support the power button and light. DVI connectors don't have these pins, so there is no way for the DVI to ADC adapter to make the power button work.

  • T510 boot issues - power button flashes

    I have a T510 that is acting really strange.
    The laptop will do the following once shut down for any extended period of time.
    When I open it up and press the power button the power button, keyboard light , hdd light will all flash. 5 seconds or so will pass and then it will do the same thing, never actually booting up. I'll pull the power and batteries and repeat the process and the thing will do the same thing. Eventually it will boot if I repeat the steps enough.
    This just started happening recently. It will run fine once the system actually turns on. I have updated all drivers, I have updated the BIOS and all other software. I am highly doubting this is a windows issue as it never even POSTs.
    The flashing lights almost act like an error code but I couldn't find anything regarding 1 quick slow flash by the power button.
    Any suggestions?

    Maybe the keyboard cable or the keyboard itself? Nothing shows on screen during a false start?
