Power LED Blinking Orange/White.
i am using a compaq cg56-102tu laptop. i wont turn on and nothing happens when i press the power button and theres a blinking orange and white light at the power indicator LED when the battery or ac adapter is connected..

it is like that when i plug the laptop on an outlet with or without the battery..it is the same when i only use the battery but it starts blinking when i connect the battery even without pressing any button..Any ideas?

Hello @NoGameNoLife,
I have read your post on how your notebook computer is not able to power on, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
Since there is a blinking orange light where the AC adapter plugs into your computer, I recommend following this document on Computer does not start and the LEDs blink or the computer beeps, as well as Using and Testing the AC Power Adapter. This should help to restore the power to your notebook.
If the issue persists, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

U205 s5022 Power LED Blinking

U205 s5022 Power LED Blinks amber color as follows: Blinks 3x pauses Blinks 3x pauses blinks 2x pauses and repeats cycle. Power Adapter checks OK at 19 Volts DC and have installed new battery. Computer still won't start. What could be probable cause of consistent blinking light?

Initial reply led me (thank you) to recheck the power adapter I was using. It turned out it was for 19 volts DC and this lap top only takes 15 volts DC hence the blinking lights. After replacing the CMOS battery and tinkering with other stuff (which I later learned were unnecessary but educational) like the motherboard, reseating CPU heat sink etc. - the unit is now working but will just stay idle because I have been a MAC person for many years now.

WRT54GL - Power Led blinking after unsuccessful flash-attempt

Hi there, I wanted to flash my wrt54gl with some other version of dd-wrt firmware. There was another dd-wrt image on it before the flash, but when I chose to "upgrade" the firmware, the router hung with power led blinking and the SES button active. So I aborted the flash with a powercable-unplug, and plugged it in again. Since then the router doesn't start up any more. I don't get an IP via DHCP, with static configured IP 192.168.1.2, pinging 192.168.1.1, I get a response, but I can't get to the web interface again. I tried the 30sec Reset-trick, didn't work out. I tried to upload the original Linksys firmware via the Linksys TFTP-tool, which didn't work out either. U got some other clues, what I can try to get my wrt54gl back alive again? greets gothic5k

Hey try resetting the router reset button in such a way that power
light is blinking on the router & then do a complete network power
cycle i.e., unplug the power cables from the modem & from the router &
then plug in the power cable to the modem first once all the lights are
solid green you could plug in the power cable to the router & check out
it will definately work!!

Power led blinking

I have a hp 5175ea, some days I can not turn on the computer by pressing the power button as it flashes without stopping.
There is no sound, the fan is operating normally and the hard drive LED flashesnormally.
The screen does not light up, and you can not press any button.
What can be the problem? Highlight your reply soon thanks

Satellite Pro M10 cannot start properly - AC LED blinking orange

Hello
I've a weird problem which I can't solve.
1) When my Satellite Pro M10 has the AC adapter connected and battery, the AC led is green and battery led is orange.
2) When I try to turn it on, many times it will not turn on and the leds dissepear for 1 or 2 seconds and my AC led is blinking in orange. Sometimes it will turn on like it should be.
When this problem appears it will take a lot of time before it will turn on normally. I've been searching on the internet for a solution, but I couldn't find one.
I allready removed the battery and try to turn it on, but it won't solve the problem. Neither when I remove the AC adapter and try to start it on the battery itself.
I also removed both of them and pressed the power-on-button for 60 seconds. After that it will start sometimes with the AC adapter or battery.
My bios is updated to the latest version. (I did this when it booted just 5 minutes ago, but the problem ain't solved). I do also think that when the m10 is on and when I close it, it will also hang.
Do somebody know how to solve this poblem? Thanks in advance.

It is very unusual issue and without precise tests it is not easy to say what the problem can be. I hope you use original AC adapter.
According to your description the board power supply electronic is somehow confused. When you remove battery the notebook should start normally and power LED should show permanent AC connection. In your case the problem can be contact between AC/DC in port and mainboard or power supply electronic itself. I am really skeptic you will be able to do something alone without service.
I recommend you to contact them and explain the situation. The addresses you can find on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads.

WRVS4400N Diag/Power LEDs blinking

Hey,
Recently tried to update firmware on our WRVS4400N (v1) router (from WRVS4400N_V1.0_V1.1_Firmware.zip), and ended up with router alternatively blinking the red Diag and the Power LEDs...
Googled the whole thing...and tried resetting the router (power off / on....reset button help for 60 secs +, etc)...pretty much everything most people were suggesting (including this page on the Cisco FAQ for the WRVS4400N: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9923/products_qanda_item09186a0080a358b9.shtml - including trying with the LAN adapter speed set manually to 10Mpbs/Half-Duplex, w/Static IP address), and absolutely nothing.
So, a couple of questions:
1) Any other suggestions of what I could do...
and assuming that answer to 1 is No - what are my options? Router was bought nearly 3 years ago from a Reseller (NCIX, in Canada)...
Trying to find the information on the warranty - getting different answer - although I did see 3 yrs somewhere...can I just call in and RMA it?
Thx

Good afternoon,
The Small Business Routers typically come with three years of hardware support, including the ability to RMA if thorough troubleshooting proves the device to be faulty. However, if the tools we use determine that, based on your serial number, the product is no longer within that period, you may have to furnish a Proof of Purchase to verify entitlement.
I would highly suggest going ahead and contacting us at 1-866-606-1866 (US and Canada) with the serial number and a Cisco.com user ID so we can create you a case and troublshoot your router if it falls within the warranty period.
Thank you,
-Lindsey

Neo4 does not POST (Power cuts + 3 second Power LED Blinking)

Hi,
This is my first build and I have already been plagued with 2 problems. First, I finished the build and ran for one night and then the PSU went bad and needed to be replaced (replaced with same model). Now, after running fine for about two weeks, the system shutdown over night and won't restart. No activity should have been happening overnight. When I try to start the system, the fans and everything start for about one second and then stop. The power LED begins to blink every 3 seconds and no power is given to the system. The D-bracket does not have any lights showing, they go out after the first second of running. Here is what I have tried so far:
1. Tested power supply on second system and it worked fine.
2. Removed the motherboard from the case and set it on the static bag it came in. Then with only the video (with it's power) and the two MB power cables connected, I tried to boot the system. The same problem occured, power off after 1 second and LED blinks.
3. Bought a new PSU (Mad-Dog 500W which has +12V/30A) and still the same problem.
4. Removed each RAM module and tried with just one stick, still the same problem.
So I think I the only things left are MOBO and CPU... I would think if it was the CPU, I would get a signal from the D-Bracket. Any help?
Thanks in advance!

I would try removing the Power Cord from the Power Supply and the Battery from the mobo. Leave them out a good 15 to 20 minutes before putting them back.
If that does not work, try a different brand of RAM for testing purposes.
Deathstalker,
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried removing the battery and power for 15 minutes and replacing, but no luck, same problem. This system was working for two weeks with the PQI RAM modules. Can this compatability change all of a sudden while running and just power down the system?

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.

Why is that power LED blinking?

the power LED on the MSI k7n2g blinks a lot on my computer. It's supposed to be a message LED, but what is the message it's sending!?!?!? Is it morse code? IT would have been a REALLY good idea it put a key to the code inthe manual!
Anybody know?
(BTW, I have had several issues regarding the onboard video, but after an update to the drivers and bios, it does seem to operate more stably now, AS LONG As I don't use anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering or texture sharpening...or set the memory bus to 200Mhz with my ddr400 memory....)

maybe ur power led and hd led got switched around by accident, check the wire, if you think its right but it still does it, try switching the power led wire with the hd led wire.

HP 6735s won't boot, power LED blinks 7 times

The HP 6735s laptop stopped working. Only sign of life, power LED flashes 7 times after on/off switch is pressed. What's wrong, experts?

Try a hard reset. Sometimes it works and is always the first step to take.
remove the battery and the ac adapter plug from the laptop.
press and hold the power button for fifteen seconds.
install either the battery or ac adapter power and press the power button to attempt a boot into the OS.
If that doesn't work then remove the hard disk to see if it gets past the splash screen and the BIOS whines that it can't find a bootable OS. That would indicate a hard disk failure.
Also worth tying is removing the memory module(s) from the DIMM slots and then reinstalling them. That reseats the modules and cleans some oxidation off the module pins (if there is any)
Another, perhaps a laptopsaver (in a manner of speaking) is the HP Pavilion dv2000/dv6000 and Compaq Presario v3000/v6000 Series Notebook PCs - HP Limited Warranty... Check it and see if your laptop is covered.

erico

Hp 630 power led blinking 3 times

Hello Brothers,
My HP 630 notebook is not powering on by battery neither by power adapter connected. If I press power button when its connected the L.E.D besides the power plug blinks 3 times. This happens till the battery is charged; if the battery is not charged these L.E.Ds don't even light up.
I expect the laptop to power on(when connected to wall outlet) even if the battery is out. Can someone kindly suggest what could be wrong here?
Thanks a bunch in advance
Regards
Jag

well, I have tried combo's of all 8 sticks in all different slots... sooo guessing mother board..
not really worth repairing when I can get a mini for less than the cost to fix it... any one want to buy it for parts?

8510W won't boot. HDD LED blinking orange-green

My 4 year old HP Compaq 8510W was working fine until a few days ago. It ran a bit hot so I decided to reboot to let it cool down. After shutting it down, it didn't want to boot again. Instead the fan starts turning fast (and loud), the power light comes on like normal and the HDD light starts repeating the following blinking sequence; orange fast, green normal, pauze and repeat. It doesn't respond to any button or key, I need to hold the power button to shut it off.
I was suspecting the HDD, as I don't hear it turning, only skipping once every 30 seconds or so. I pulled the HDD out and plugged it into my PC and the drive worked fine. I took this opportunity to backup all my files onto my PC.
If it is not the HDD I don't know what it is. Has anyone had this problem too? And (how) did you solve it?
My 8510W is running on Vista 32-bit.

Yes. Most likely the video chip on the motherboard went bad, or the CPU fried, or some other circuit on the motherboard went south.
There is no troubleshooting guide for your notebook--only a service manual which is only going to tell you how to remove and replace parts.
Maybe it is time to upgrade? I like buying HP business notebooks on eBay.
If you like the mobile workstations, go for the 8530w. Some of them have webcams. I have the 6930p and am very happy with it.
Or, if you really like yours, get another 8510w. You may be better off in the long run than tearing into yours and not being able to fix the problem after throwing money and parts at it, or paying someone to fix it.

Smart camera 1764 Status & power led blinking

I am using NI smart camera 1764. when i am giving 24 V DC supply to the camera then Power & Status LED is blinking at high rate in RED colour. on the other hand pass & fail LED also blinking in RED & GREEN colour alternatively. i am not able to connect camera to my computer through ETHERNET cable & cannot use for my application.
Please suggest me the solution as soon as possible.

Hello,
Have a look at this document on page 52 http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/372429b.pdf.
It seems to be an application error.
Try to boot your camera in safe mode with no app, using the switces.
If you can connect, then try to reinstal using VBAI.

Why am I not seeing the LED blink faster on hardware when the waveform graph shows the signal updating?

I am using the cDAQ-9188 chassis with a NI 9476 in the 8th slot, and when I run my VI, the waveform gets updated if I change the frequency of a signal while the program is running, but the DO from the write does not get updated. I thought that write takes in the data from the digital waveform input, so I'm confused as to why the digital waveform indicator is updated with a new signal, but my LED into a DI module (9421) is not updating.
Thanks in advance for any tips and suggestions!
Speed2.vi calls Generate_PWM.vi, so Generate_PWM is a subVI inside Speed2.

Hi Ruthnan,
Sorry for the delay in response but after looking over that hardware it seems there should be enough counters in the chassis to support what you are doing. I believe you are getting the resource is reserved error because you have started one output task on that module thus reserving the reference. Once that task starts any additional task with get an error. It should be possible to use more than one counter in your application but it sounds like an error in the VI configuration. I am happy to help here to get an example up and running but I think it would be faster to open a service request for this issue. Let me know what you would like to do.
