RE1000 power light blinking after power failure

I've tried the 8 sec reset and the 30-30-30 reset but can't get the light to stop blinking and so can't connect to the unit. It was working fine before the power went out. Any suggestions?

I had the same issue after a power outage today. I online live chat with an agent for about 15 minutes until he provided me three options all about that I would have to pay extra to get it replaced or fixed because mine was just out of warranty yesterday. I was lucky enough because mine RE1000 was not dead completely. I followed the instructions in this community and restored its service successfully.
Here is what I did.
1. Reset the extender by 30-30-30 method. The LED still blinked after reset.
2. Turned off wifi on my laptop and assign a static IP on my laptop: 192.168.1.x. Ping RE's default gateway 192.168.1.1 with an Ethernet connection. It returned good result.
3. Log on Web Admin Page and I was prompted to upload its firmware. Followed the screen instruction to upload the firmware that I already downloaded previously. Waited until everything was finished and it rebooted. Volla. It was back to life.
I guess it might have lost the firmware somehow after power failure. Is there a battery inside the extender to power the flash rom?
Here are few instructions I followed up:

Cisco/Linksys/Berkin, you **bleep**. It is not that easy to rob my money what I earn by hard work.
Thanks for all advice and good luck.

  • Power Light Blinks after firmware update to 1.00.17

    I have model # WRT54GX4.
    It has worked great, i just wanted to update the firmware.
    I updated the firmware from 1.00.15 to 1.00.17 and now the power light just blinks.
    Based on what i read it sounds like the firmware needs re-loaded because it could be corrupt on the router now.  It could have been the way that i upgraded.  i was in wireless mode when i did the upgrade thru the web utility, mayby i should have been plugged in.  The other thing is that i use 192.168.1.X range (not 192.168.0.X range), i am not sure if the firmware upgrade changes the ip back to 192.168.1.1, which affected the upgrade.
    In either case my power light is blinking.  i also tryed to hold the reset button for 10 seconds, i also tried 30.  After that i plugged directly into the router from the pc using a regular patch cable.  I change the ip on my machine to 192.168.1.8 and the subnet to 255.255.255.0 to match the router.  i am assuming that the router is reset to 192.168.1.1 now that i pressed the reset button.  After doing all this i get a network connection, but i cannot ping 192.168.1.1. 
    Here is my other question.   To fix the issue i would think that i would have to run the firmware upgrade utility from outside the router, now that the router is not accessible.  But the download page does not have a firmware utility like the other models.  The instructions want you to use the web utility on the router.
    Please help.

    HI,
    u can upgrade the router from the "outside" using the tftp utility available at ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/tftp.exe .
    however you first have to be able to ping the router....reduce the NIC speed to 10Mbps...assign a static IP to your PC ...reset the router and then try to ping....once the ping is confirmed....you can upgrade the firmware.
    and yes the default router IP should now be 192.168.1.1

  • NVG589 RG low battery light blinks after power outage

    ATT installed a new Motorola NVG589 RG about a week ago.After a power outage today, the low battery light keeps blinkingMeanwhile, an ATT automated call keeps calling my Uverse home phone telling me to replace the battery.Now, my Uverse phone has a low battery so I can't make any calls.It must be due to the low RG battery.I can't even call ATT (for some reason my cell phone is not working either) to get their help.The DSL is still working (so far).I see that the NVG589 has a battery.Do I need to replace that myself? (If so, where do I get a cheap one?)It must have been a bad battery to only work for a week.  Is there a warranty?I appreciate any advice you can send my way!Thanks a lot!EG

    There may be a short (30 day) warranty on the Backup Battery, it would not hurt to ask.  Normally, though, you're responsible for replacing an exhaused backup battery.
    Since the backup battery is designed to support the phone side of the RG during a power failure, it could be that the failure of that battery is causing an issue.  You could, for the time being, remove it and see if that helps with your U-verse Voice problem.  I doubt it's affecting your cell phone.

  • My Mac Mini won't start. The Power light blinks continusly (not pulses)

    My New Mac Mini won't start up. I bought it online from J&R a week ago. My monitor says "no input detected" and the power light blinks. I recently fed it the gray mac os x install disk one, which it won't give back. Holding the mouse button when it turns on doesn't have any effect. So now i can't put a disk in or start it up.

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    No video with the power light blinking once per second means either bad or no memory. See this Apple note: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303083 . Specifically, below is from that note:
    If the computer detects no SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory, also referred to as RAM) or the RAM installed does not meet the appropriate specifications, the screen will remain black but the power LED on the front of the computer will blink once per second to signal the error. This error condition may be due to physically damaged RAM, installing the incorrect type of RAM, or not having RAM installed.
    Has it ever worked since you got it? If not, you should call J&R and tell them they sent a dead on arrival system, and ask for a replacement (ask them to send a will call tag or prepaid label to send the non-working machine back).

  • IMac powers up fine.  Wireless keyboard and tracking pad not recognized. Power lights blink twice, repeatedly. Any ideas?

    My iMac was off during a recent thunderstorm. When I power up the computer all is fine.  However the wireless keyboard and track pad are not recognized by the computer.  Their power lights blink twice, go off, then blink again. Any suggestions?

    Turned out that I had to disconnct the keyboard from the new iMac in order to show in the old iMac.

  • HPG72-250US Power Light Blinks, Caps Lock Light Stays On

    So I have been having some problems with my computer, an HP G72-250US, that I bought a few years ago.  Namely, the screen would get black and white lines on it and freeze: Here's a pic.   What the screen looks like. 
    A friend of mine told me that it could be a problem with the fan, so I decided I would try to take it apart.  After some success, I noticed the fan wasn't clogged or anything, so I put it back together.  When I did, the power button only turns on for a half a second, then shuts off.  It repeats this over and over again.  I noticed that the Caps Lock light stays on.  Doesn't blink, doesn't do anything. 
    I looked around online (using my wifes computer) and all I could find was the HP LED error codes, which mention the Caps Lock or Number Lock light blinking, but nothing about the Power Button Light.  Could it be the same issue, a CPU failure? 
    Thanks for any help!
    UPDATE: 
    So after watching my computer for a bit, the Caps Lock Light DOES do something.  I hope I can say this correctly so everyone can understand it:
    The Caps Lock Light is on, the Power Button Light is off.  For the split second or two that the Power Button Light comes on, the Caps Lock Light goes out.  The LAN connector also lights up when the Power Button Light is on.  Everything is pointing to it blinking once, so I'm still thinking its a CPU problem.  Any thoughts?

    It is not a real problem in the sense that is does not hinder me in my computer use, but it is something strange.
    When a turn the computer off, the caps lock light on my keyboard turns on, only to turn off after I strat my computer.
    You might consider zapping your PRAM.

  • HP vs17x monitor power light blinking

    After I bring my computer out of standby mode my vs17x monitor's power button/light blinks blue, with the sound of what I assume is power going to the speakers, and continues unless I hold it down to turn it off or unplug it.
    After some waiting and clicking I can get it back to normal, but as far as I know it's just random clicks that bring it back up
    Any diagnosis/suggestions?
    Thanks
    -Update-
    -This morning I was able to get my screen back up by pressing the power button on my compaq keyboard (crescent moon, which puts in standby/brings up standby/shutdown/restart menu)
    Also all the icons on my desk were rearranged, put to the left/top, but I'm unsure if that was due to my random clicking
    -This afternoon I after walking away for a bit (after I turned it on) the screen came back up

    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Thanks so much for the hint, J_Winn.  
    Once, I opened the unit, I could see that three of the capacitors looked different the tops were bulging ( bulging capacitor ).
    I replaced those three and all was well.
    Disassembly hints:
    - The curved plastic top piece of the pedestal stand pops to allow access to the 3rd pedestal screw.
    - The entire pedestal assembly then slides toward the bottom.
    - Use a small flathead screwdriver to pop off the front cover.  (but not tiny, that was my initial problem)
    - Write the colours of the four wire pairs in pencil on the metal screen so you remember which goes where.
    - Remove the small metal cover from the larger metal cover to access the ribbon cable connector.
    - To disconnect the ribbon cable from the circuit board, carefully pry up the black strip on the connector.
    Reassembly:
    - The power button cover, bottom of the U points to the back of the case.
    - The other button cover piece has tabs that fit into the small switch circuit board
    Hope this helps!

  • What do the power light blinking codes mean on cinema display?

    I have a cinema display on my G4, and about a year ago or so I had to replace a backlight due to a failure. Tonight I see that the power light is blinking again in a repeatable sequence, and I am wondering where I learn what the sequence is telling me about the nature of the problem?
    Power output of the display is reduced again, and I am hoping I do not need yet another backlight repair.

    The meaning of the blink codes is not stated in the manual, but in this knowledge base article:

  • Linksys EA6500 router power light blinks slowly, not reachable

    Hoping somebody can help me with this. I bought a Cisco Linksys EA6500 router a couple of years ago. For various reasons I ended up not actually unboxing it until today. It got left at my mom's place and well, it just didn't get unboxed until today. I connected it, ran the Setup disc and after a little bit of trouble, I got it to work OK. I was using the Admin panel and setting the guest network password etc. Everything seemed great. But then I had the idea to upgrade the Firmware, because I figured the router was a couple of years old, it probably needs a Firmware upgrade. From the admin page I clicked the "Check for upgrades" to the Firmware, but it gave me a red error message "Upgrade server not available" (or something to that effect). I clicked instead on "Manual update" and I had downloaded this file: FW_EA6500v2_1.1.40.166281_prod.img The firmware upgrade process started, there was a progress bar that went for a while, and when that reached the end, I got a spinning wheel animation. This however, never went away. Just spun and spun. I went for a coffee, came back 15 minutes later, it was still spinning and nothing else had happened. I looked at the router itself, and the white CISCO power led on the front of the router is blinking slowly. Kind of fading up and down. I waited another while and then I had waited probably 20 minutes, so I gave up and unplugged the router from the power, waited a few seconds and plugged it back in. Ever since I did this process, it's like completely dead. The CISCO power led is fading up and down. I've tried a 30-30-30 reset. I've connected it to a PC ran the setup program (EA6500v1.2.0.14212.1-Setup.exe). The setup program just reports that it can't reach or find the router. It's like completely broken. I've tried it with two different PC's. None of them can even acknowledge that the router exists. Meanwhile, the power light keeps fading up and down... I only got about 15 minutes use out of my brand new (albeit unboxed for 2 years) EA6500 before, it appears, the Firmware upgrade process completely broke the whole thing. Since my computer doesn't even manage to connect to the router on ANY level, I'm unable to see or change any settings or anything like that. I do have the "reset" button on the back of the router and I've tried it several times (including holding it for over 1 minute), but nothing makes any difference. Sorry about the lengthy post.... I probably could have explained this shorter: Router unresponsive - power LED fading up/down - Setup program does not find router. Anybody able to offer any help?? Thanks in advance.

    If you have already tried to use other browsers or computer, try the management mode process.  1st you will need to download the firmware file and teh TFTP software. connect your computer to the modem inorder to have internet access (set your IP to obtain). Download the firmware here: http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=148365 TFTP software is available here: http://downloads.linksys.com/downloads/Tftp.exe Reconnect the computer back to the router and set it back to static IP.  Follow this reset process in this link: http://www.linksys.com/ru/support-article?articleNum=140001 If it asks for a firmware, upload the file. If that doesn't work, proceed with TFTP upgrade. This link will help: http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=137928 I hope that helps!   

  • Why is the power light blinking?

    I've had some issues connecting to the internet.  I just replaced the cable modem and have it all set up.  I still don't have connectivity through the router.  I'm able to connet the computer directly to the modem and it works just fine.  But, I noticed that the router power light keeps blinking.  What might this be telling me?  Is the router trashed?

    Hello salin, the reason why you can't get online on your router because the router is not in good condition. The power light of your router should be solid at all times. There could be a problem with your router's firmware because the power is blinking. It can still be solve but you need to diagnose it first if you can still fix it because maybe it went bad already. To help you diagnose the router then try to follow the steps.
    > connect PC to Modem and download your router's firmware here.
    > disconnect PC from Modem and connect PC directly to the Router in port 1 (don't connect the Modem yet)
    > press and hold the reset button of the router firmly for 60sec while router is turn on and just release it after
    > unplug the power cord of the router and wait for another 60sec before plugging it back in
    > check the lights on the router to see if the power turn solid
       -if power light stops blinking then start updating your router's firmware and reconfigure your router
       -if power light is still blinking then continue the steps below
       > check if you can get an IP from the router.
          -if you can get an IP from the router (the default gateway should be 192.168.1.1) then start updating your router's firmware and reconfigure your router
          -if you can't get an IP then assign static ip to your PC. Use Static IP:192.168.1.10, Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0, Default Gateway:192.168.1.1 and just leave the Prefered and Alternate DNS empty.
          > ping the default gateway number. Click start and click RUN. In the RUN box, type CMD and click OK button. There's a black window that will open. Beside the blinking cursor, just type ping 192.168.1.1 and hit enter on the keyboard.
            -if you got this on the black window ping statistics- got 4 replies, 0% loss then start updating your router's firmware and reconfigure your router
            -if you got this on the black window ping statistics- got 4 replies, 100% loss or media state, media disconnected then that means your router is no longer responding and thus you need to replace it.
    How to update your router's firmware?
    > access the web page of the router and go to Administration tab and just below that click the Firmware Upgrade sub-tab.
    > browse for the firmware you saved in your PC and open it.
    > click the Upgrade button.
    > if Successful then just close the web page and reset the router for 20sec and just release it after. Turn off the router and wait for another 20sec before plugging it back in.
    > check the lights on the router. It should turn solid.

  • Won't power on, but power light blinks.. eh?

    Howdy all,
    I was just on my machine, just turned it on and was getting ready to launch a game, when it locked up.  So I reboot... Nothing.  Try again... nothing.  Unplug the PSU, plug it back in, hit the power button... nothing but a blinking power light LED.  
    I've looked all over the site to find any info on this but can't seem to locate any.  Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Ok, just got the Enermax 550w PSU w/ 36A on all pos rails, and I'm getting the same issue.  When the PSU is plugged in and switched on, the power LED slowly blinks.  When I hit the power button, absolutely nothing happens.  Nothing powers on, and that darned power LED just keeps on blinking away!
    I've cleared the CMOS, verified and reverified all the connections within the case.  I've even played with the power/reset/LED/etc headers (such as making the reset button the power switch), but nothing seems to work.  I'm starting to think it's time to RMA the board.
    Any other ideas or tricks?  This is, to say the least, quite annoying!    However it was a great reason to get a fantastic PSU, hehe.
    EDIT: I just installed a system speaker, and there are no audible beep codes.

  • Toshiba Satellite L505D wont go into sleep mode. Freezes before power light blinks yellow.

    When i try to put my laptop into sleep mode by closing the lid, it freezes before it enters sleep mode. i get a black screen when i pick the lid back up, and the power light stays green, instead of blinking yellow like its supposed to. Last time i remember it working properly was around June 6th, i took my laptop to my buddy's place so we could watch the new Halo 4 trailers and i know it worked properly on both the car ride over and the car ride home. anyone have any ideas whats wrong?

    Let's make some experiments.

  • Powe Mac G5 early 2004 gives error (no memory installed) Do I need to replace the Logic Board. Machine powers up,2beeps and power lights blinks 2 times and stops there, No video or any thing?

    I just recently aquired a Power Mac G5 early 2004.
    When I power the system up. I get 2 beeps
    and the small front panel light blinks 2 times continuously.
    The error codes show that it means a memory problem or
    no memory present. Memory is installed.
    In this case do I need to replace the mother board.
    The system goes no futher, no video or any thing.

    Well, it's possible that someone pulled the original RAM from the computer before they sold it, and repalced it with incompatible RAM. That, believe it of not, would be the best of all world in this case, as a working G5 logic board and its installation could cost as much as a refurbed Intel mac.
    I would contact the seller if you did not personally see the computer working before you bought it.
    As the computer had to be moved about--possibly shipped--to change hands, first check that all internal cards and RAM Modules are fully seated. They can work loose in some models.

  • Won't Start Up........Power LIght Blinks 3 Times

    My G5 dual 1.8ghz has failed on me. Yesterday it would not start and the power light was pulsing 3 flashes repeatedly. I tried to start in target mode - nothing. Removed the DIMMs to check for faulty DIMMs - nothing. Managed to instal an installer disk - nothing. Eventually, zapped the PRAM and it started. However, this morning it is dead again and will not start. Zapping the PRAM makes no difference.
    I have tried removing USB devices - nothing.
    Any ideas?

    Hi-
    Sounds like a typical failure of the solder around the RAM slots.
    To test for this, use a hairdryer to heat the logic board around the RAM slots.
    Make the board very warm, then try and boot.
    If the machine boots, leave it on, as when the machine cools, the connections will be lost again.
    What this shows, if successful, is that the expansion due to heat is able to "revive" the connections at the solder points.
    The fix for this problem, unfortunately, is a replacement logic board, or, to have the board reflowed.

  • 11-n010dx power light blinking

    I have cleaned and reinstalled windows with no problems, but I need to ship this product to someone.  The power light on the side keeps blinking.  I don't want to do any sort of set up since I am giving it to someone.  Is there someway to completely power the machine off?

    Hi there ,  Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! This is a great site to get answers and ask questions. You had mentioned two things that I looked into for you. One was that you have a blinking power light and the other is that you want to know if there is a way to completely power the Notebook off.  Does the computer start without problems?I know you don't want to set it up, but what does the screen look like? Here is a document called Computer does not start and the LEDs blink or the computer beeps. This document gives you Hard Reset options as well as tells you what the blinking light means and any information pertaining to it.  Hope this helps!
