Press power button, No post, No Video. 20 seconds later power button flashes many different colors

Hi, Hope someone can be of help here. Working with one of the newer A135's w/ vista. Plugged in all looks good, charging light and all but when you press the power button all looks good at first but about 20 seconds into unit powered up, no post, no video no nothing I get the power light bar changing colors, it goes from dark blue to light blue to orange to amber to green and starts all over again. It appears that there are not too many people with the same problem so only actual support would be appreciated. I can solder to component level so if anyone has a schematic and area of potential search for the bum chip it would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Chatbox,
I can understand your issue very well, as there is no message comes on the screen which gives you information to plug the power adapter and prevent the laptop to get shut down.
You should install Power Manager software and then customize it as per your requirement.
The software can be download from the mentioned below web link.
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/8mu417ww.exe
Hope, after this laptop will not shut down automatically due to battery backup
Best Regards,
Tanuj

Ipod Connecting then Disconnecting 2 seconds later

Please help, my ipod is connecting to the computer, not showng in itunes and then disconnecting 2 seconds later, ive tried rrestarting and different usb ports and different wires but still no luck!
Please,
Clare x

Have exactly the same problem with my wife's MacBook Air. After restaring in Restore mode and trying to repair the disk (Disk Utility showed errors in the verification), the system tells me to backup as much data as possible (how?), re-format the disk and restore backed-up files. Error comes up when "updating boot support partitions for the volume as required".
Original restart action was done due to software update requesting it, if I remember correctly, iTunes was updated.
I don't want to start a painful back-up procedure (although I do regular back-ups): how should I know, where iPhoto stores it's data or where my mails are (yes, still using local mail)? How can I access the data if I can't boot?
My iMac's disk crashed also a couple of months ago and I'm still recovering. I have four Apple devices, two of them have failed. Can Apple afford such a ratio?

X220 - no post and green light around power button flashes every 3 - 4 second

We bought around 40 of these X220 I5 before xmas and now more than 20 of them have failed. The company we bought them from tried everything but they ended up switching the mainboard on the first two that failed.
We were told it was a batch issue with the serial number R9-HNXXX and now all of those are changed into T420. But today we had the same problem with serial number R9-HXXXX that was bought two weeks earlier and with different config - I7 and SSD. All of them with the same problem that is described in subject. Are there any known batch issues?
The problem is not with the tablet version and sorry for posting in the wrong forum.
Thx
Solved!
Go to Solution.

All,
Thanks - interesting experiences. Could you each send me a private message with any additional details including the model type and serial number of the units? We can look into this.
Also, as the discussion continues, please include more details about what BIOS version you are running, any updates that were recently applied, etc. Please also describe the symptoms - does everyone have the blinking power indicator?
If you reset by pulling the battery & AC and pressing and holding power button several times for several seconds, then re-attaching AC, does the system restart? No video? Any beeps?
Lastly, if you are seeing a high percentage of failures of your install base, please contact your account rep so that we can get the right level of resource involved to help resolve this. If you have a single system, please call service if you are unable to reset the system.
Thanks!

Macbook pro 2010 only will turn on if i hold the power button down for atleast 7 seconds.....before i could just press it and it would come right on

macbook pro 2010 only will turn on if i hold the power button down for atleast 7 seconds.....before i could just press it and it would come right on

I tried those already, did not work.
I did how ever remove the command key and wiped it down and it turns on perfectly!
but now the keyboard keys seem to be out of place or something. For example it makes a "ping" sound when i hit some of them, when i hit function or control it puts the letter Z.
Any input would be great!

My mac pro wont start. I push the power button and I get a click sound. A few seconds later another click sound and that it.

My mac pro wont start. I push the power button and I get a click sound. A few seconds later another click sound and that it. I've tried different power plugs. Going direct into the wall, through a power strip. By iteslf, with other devices plugged in. I removed hard drives, and some RAM, and nothing. Sometimes it would not turn on, and then some minutes later it works. So its was sparatic, but now its been the same situation for three days where it wont turn on.
I'm guessing power supply, but I wanted to see if anyone had a similar expereince and what the solution was, before I drag this beast to my local Apple store and have them look at it. Its a real pain to get it there and back and I want to be armed with some info for them. I already dragged this to them when it first started to do this, and of course it started up just fine for them. And you know if it works for the Genius then theres nothing wrong with. No matter what you explain to them.
I figure if anyone had a the same problem and was able to resolve it, I can relate that experience to the Genius even if it start up for them.
Thanks

Try a SMC Reset using the extended method:
Remove the AC power cord.
Press the power-on button. [This drains the stored charge from the power supply]
wait a quarter minute.
Restore the power cord, being certain to JAM it into the socket, as the big block of rubber inhibits proper seating.
wait a quarter minute
attempt to power on.
If no joy, examine the button battery half-hidden behind the graphics card. Remove it to measure the Voltage. A new battery should not cost over US$5, and measures a little over 3 Volts. BR-2032 is used in garage door opener controls and car door locks controls. The geeks at Radio Shack can measure it for you.

My power button is flashing (white) and I have no video, no beep, just rapid flashing

The power button on my mac pro is flashing (white) and I have no video, no beep, just rapid flashing.

"Almost all flashing power button at startup problems are caused by RAM issues."
Wow, how a simple search here saved me a lot of time, THNX!!
One of my 8 Transcend 2GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM RAM modules caused this fault. Strangely no red led on any of the 2 RAM trays, so I had to trial-and-error all modules on each of the two RAM trays to find out wich module broke on me.
Cheers

Hi my friend gave me his old Iphone 1 today and its stuck in the apple boot logo. Sometimes it automatically shuts off but about a second later it comes back on. The home button and the power button seem to not be responsive. Im hoping to restore it.. Thx

Hi my friend gave me his iphone 1 today and its stuck at the apple boot logo. Some times it automatically shuts off but about a second later is comes back on. The home button and the power button seem to not be responsive. Thanks for the help.

You bought a used iPhone. Amazon is not an authorized supplier of iPhones, nor are any of the 3rd parties that sell iPhones there.
You can make an appointment at the genius bar and have it looked at.
If you are very very lucky, it is still under warranty and it wasn't opened or otherwise tampered with before you bought it. In which case, Apple will replace it under warranty.
If it's not under warranty, they will replace it for $199.
If it has been opened or tampered with, they won't touch it.

KT4 Ultra Powers Off within Seconds of Power Up

Ok, here's the situation... this board powers down everytime within seconds of powering up, usually even before the video card can POST, although I have seen it POST a couple times.
I believe I've ruled out every possibility but the board... I've got the board out of the case on it's box, and the only thing connected is the CPU, the video card, the power switch cable. and a CPU fan, which is using the power supply for power, not the board.
I have tried 2 different power supplies, 2 different video cards, 2 different processors, 2 different power cords, 2 different outlets, and using the reset button to power the board up (in case the pickup in the power switch was sticky). I've tried 2 different RAM modules, as well as removing the RAM entirely, and clearing the CMOS... everytime, it's the same result, it powers itself off right away.
I know everything points the board being bad, but I had an ASUS board that was doing this identical thing because of the thermal protection circuitry, I could clear the CMOS to get to the BIOS, and then disable thermal protection. It doesn't look like that's going to work here, but I thought I'd post this anyway, and see if anyone has any suggestions...

Ok... well, I feel a little dumb admitting this, but I suppose if it helps someone else down the road, it's worth it.
Problem solved... and the resolution was so simple I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't just seen it. I cleaned off my heatsink, and the cpu core, and reapplied new thermal grease to both, then made sure the heatsink was fit as tightly as I possibly could... and voila... no more problem.
I will admit, that the heatsink I was a Swiftech unit off an old Duron CPU, and in my haste, I didn't clean it before using it again. I never imagined that these things could overheat so quickly, but let that be a lesson to those of you like me who haven't built a machine in the last 2 years or so. I guess the heatsink working was just something I took somewhat for granted.
Thanks to those of you who took time to try and help... hopefully my lesson will help one of you.

T500 does not (refuses to) boot or POST, while disk spins and power/processor lights are on

This happened to me upon T500 going into self-hibernation mode. (A virus may have triggered this behaviour.) I would like to share my experience.
The screen is all blank, the lights including the disk light, caps lock, and I believe WiFi do blink but settle with power and processor (Z light) on, disk spinning, but nothing happening. If I recall correctly, the disk then stops spinning. Repeated booting results in the same outcome. No Thinkpad is displayed on screen. Screen is blank througout. The machine makes no beeps.
By research and trial and error, I arrived upon this sequence to resurrect the T500:
remove all power
lift keyboard and remove CMOS battery
remove all RAM (this step may be unnecessary)
hit power button 10 times in 5 seconds and then press the button for 10 to 15 seconds
put battery back - no lights on dash should lit
boot machine -- machine may cycle through several self-boots before it shows the "Thinkpad" on screen. There are delays between the self-boots, so let it go through its paces.
It should settle at "press F1 to setup time and day" message on the screen
install CMOS while machine is on
turn off and install RAM
boot - machine should now boot normally - enter BIOS to restore the defaults, reboot
you may then have to set date and time through windows
good luck

I didn't get the 1331 beeps when no RAMs. It could be that these are different problems. But the process I outlined is rather chancy - and does not always work. So try many times and do some variations. If you get the 1331 message, then I think you have passed the stage which held me up.

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

Sorry for the long copy and paste. I read that I can upgrade the video card and power supply. But atm when I play world of warcraft at ultra settings, I tend to lag really bad in the new instances with the new cat expansion that came out. I wanted to know if I should upgrade the video card and power supply for better performance or just upgrade my whole pc tower. Fyi, I am running a Acer X243w lcd flat panel monitor if that helps too.

My brother has a high end laptop with a built in, high end gaming video card (I forget which one). He's able to run the game on full-on Ultra.
I have an integrated video card which games the game on.. 'cartoon'.. mode. It's lower then low. When someone shoots a powerful spell at me, I go into a DOS Prompt. (not really, but it's pretty bad).
Funny thing is, I can still kick my brother's butt in any PVP match he wants to set up.
But I guess his graphics are pretty....
As for which video card works best, I'd have to do some research. After that graphics update they did with CAT, it's kind of a toss up again.

When i placed a AccessKey to Submit Button (Eg: AccessKey="S"), and pressed Shift + Alt + S, the focus is going to Submit button and as well as Submit operation is also performed. Is this the expected behaviour in FireFox for AccessKeys

Will this video card and power supply work on my computer? HP Pavilion p6213w Desktop PC

I have a HP Pavilion p6213w Desktop PC, will this video card and power supply work on my computer?
Video Card: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8379339&sku=A455-0760
Power Supply: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4668507&sku=C13-2511
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

It is unlikely that the power supply will fit/work in your HP Pavilion p6213w Desktop Computer. Please consider the Corsiar CX500, CX500M, CX600, and CX600M for your power supply needs. These power supplies are the same physical size as the factory unit and are known to fit and work in most HP full-sized consumer desktop computers.
There is a chance that the GTX 760 and other current generation video cards may not work in your computer. These newer cards typically require the computer to support the most current UEFI standards and many motherboards don't meet this criteria. Please know the return policy on any video card you purchase, in case it doesn't work. If the GTX 760 doesn't work, consider the GTX 650/660 Ti or equivalent AMD graphics card for your graphics card needs.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Load content in another viewing space... Button..Viewer..Video..Panorama.. Carousel..Dreamw..Flash..

Dear Reader,
I made a site with a custom player to show video. I made my own buttons in Flash. On type showed while hovering over the played video and are used for controlling play/pause - button for homepage and two buttons for the next or previous gallery. The other type are underneath the playing video and let you pick thumbnails whose links were shown in the player window.
First I wanted to use a carousel (Lee Brimelow) for the second type of buttons, but I couldn't integrate these with the rest of the player code (my flash-code knowledge is rather limited).
Later on I wanted to show a panorama wich I only got to work with the Away3D-method. In this case I couldn't integrate it with any other code, so I used Dreamweaver to let a viewer choose thumbnails. One can navigate in the viewer window by dragging in the window, so I left out the other navigation buttons within the player window, mentionned earlier.
Now I am thinking of this concept:
- Button(s) for Homepage and (Next/Previous) gallery;
- Viewer window, with
- timeslider and Play/Pause button integrated in case of a video or slideshow;
- dragging in case of a Panoramic view;
- Carousel for picking a subject that will be shown in the Viewer window.
Question:
- Can I combine these 3 types of the concept as Flash-movies and buttons/carousel in Dreamweaver and still have the carousel control the viewer window?
or:
- Should I do all in Flash and make a personal Flashplayer (like I did before) and study more Flash?
What tutorials could I take a look at? (For instance I found a lot of sites about how to make a carousel. I don't know how to make it control a viewer window (to make it load content in another window or space.)
Greatings,
Richafrost.

Hi,
Just wanted to clarify a few things to try and eliminate what could be causing the problem.
1. You are using rtmps protocol. Do you have SSL certificate configured and port 443 enabled?
2. When you tried playback via the hosted OSMF player was it via rtmps?
3. The standard way the request url is protocol://server-domain-or-IP/fms-app-name/[fms-app-instance-name/][codec-prefix:]file-pa th[filename-extension]. Could you try with that?
I tried to reproduce your issue with simple rtmp prtocol and here are my observations/suggestions :
1.When I first entered the source url I got the error you mentioned : "The video player is in the connection error state." However, when I publish the same .fla again it works fine.
2. When you are placing the on a computer on the same network and running the html in the browser, it might not have permission to access the network. You will generally get a pop-up saying "Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe option". In any case, in your Flash player settings manager you can go to the Advanced tab and add the location of the folder containing the swf as a Trusted location and then try to reload the page again. I get the "status bar spin" when the folder did not have permissions.
3. Also, when you try playback via Share Point can you go back to FMS and check if a connection request has actually come to the server. You can check under the access logs in root_install/logs or the application logs under root_install/logs/_defaultVHost_/vod/
Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Apurva
