  • Phone wont turn on and red light flashing 5 times with pause/s in between

    i was charging my phone, after 30 minutes i unpluged the plug from the mains and typed in my password. from there on the phone went completely blank and all i was seeing was a red light flashing. I charged the phone for 12 hours and now i cant see the red light anymore. The only time i see the red light flashing is when i use the usb or the phone charger. At the moment the phone is completely blank i cant switch it on. Also ive tried using the usb which didnt help my laptop doesnt recognise it neither does the desktop manager.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Without the use of the charging port, tests will be more difficult, and results less definitive. Nevertheless...this sequence is needed:
    Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
    Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
    The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note please that "known good" and "new" are not necessarily the same thing...while rare, a new battery certainly can be defective. The best (and, btw, least costly) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
    If the result is that your BB is the issue, then you will need to seek out a local (to you) shop with a qualified BB hardware technician to give you a proper evaluation and estimate. If you remain in warranty, you could instead seek support under those terms (assuming your warranty is not void).
    Good luck and let us know!

  • HELP: My MacBook was on sleep mood then would not reboot, eventually it did and i has the sleep mood light flashing 3 times and like a siren noise going off .

    Help please
    I used my MacBook yesterday and left it on sleep mode as usual. The battery had drained during the night. So I plugged in the charger and it started up as normal. Then a notice came up saying shut down using the power button as an unexpected error had occurred. I done as it asked then I could not reboot or turn on at all. It felt like a power surge was going through the laptop. I eventually got it turned on and sent the report off to apple. The screen kept flickering so I turned it back off and took the battery out and tried to turn on again. This then proceeded to make the sleep light blink 3 times and then there was a siren sounding noise and a blank screen, I turn it off and now I have managed to reboot and all seem to be working fine. I am really worried as I love my MacBook and cant afford to replace it.
    Thank you for your help in advance

    You felt electricity zapping you when you touched it?
    Backup everything!!!
    Put in your Install DVD & boot while holding C
    Go to Utilities > Disk Utility > Repair Disk & Repair Permissions
    Also put in your extra Applications Install DVD
    Hold D while booting & run the Apple Hardware Test.
    If no error's, run the Extended Hardware Test.

  • X3-00 blinks 4 times and wont turn on

    I have tried taking the battery out and pluging it in - but nothing

    if you just have recently purchased this within the last 14 days you should be able to get it replace in store,if not as advised above a nokia care center would be the next place to go

  • Sleep light flashes 5 times - no beeps. What does it mean?

    I have a white 2008 Macbook 2.4 Ghz. I recently installed 10.6 from scratch via Retail DVD and the Macbook worked fine. I updated via Software Update and installed all the updates that appeared. There was also a Firmware update to install, which I did after the update to 10.6.8.
    But since then, the Macbook has serious video problems.
    It boots okay, but the sequence is now:
    - front sleep light flashes 5 times; there are no error beeps
    - I hear the startup chime
    - the Apple logo and spinning wheel appear, and bootup continues
    - at the point where the screen goes blue, and would normally boot to the desktop, the screen now goes black and the Macbook appears to go to sleep
    If I wait for a couple of minutes, when I press a key to wake the Macbook from sleep: the DVD spins up, the sleep light flashes 5 times, and I now see the desktop. But then the screen goes black after about 10 seconds.
    Before the screen goes black, I can see that the boot seems to have completed okay. I have a Wifi connection and the date and time are correct.
    If I go really fast, I can move the arrow to the Apple icon in the top bar and choose Shut down or Restart.
    I can boot from the internal HD, an external FW HD and an Install DVD.
    I can hold down the Option key and I get all the bootable volumes to boot from. I can choose any of them, then start the boot process, but at the same point - the blue screen - the screen goes black and the Macbook goes to sleep.
    The Macbook works perfectly fine when connected to an external monitor. In the Display preferences, only the external monitor is available. The Macbook monitor is not listed. As well, iSight and Photo Booth report that no camera is connected.
    I've found some info on the Apple site re. the 5 sleep light flashes, but it only refers to the Macbook Air, and indicates a problem with the battery.
    Has anyone seen this problem with the Macbook?

    From EZ Jim's link, there was another link to this info at the Apple site, re. Power on Self-Tests:
    The power on self-test resides in the ROM of the computer. This test runs whenever the computer is turned on after being fully shut down (the power-on self-test does not run if the computer is only restarted).
    If a fault is detected during the test, you will not hear a normal startup chime. Instead, the system will beep as explained below. If you experience one of these beeps, you may call your Apple Authorized Service Provider for additional troubleshooting assistance.
    1 beep = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
    5 beeps = processor is not usable
    In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
    As I wrote, I don't get the Error Beeps. I've had these on other Macs, so I know what they are. Here, I only get the LED flashes.
    What is interesting above is that they say that the Power LED will flash a corresponding number of times (as the beeps) PLUS ONE. In my case, then, if I got 5 flashes, then might it mean NO GOOD BOOT IMAGES IN THE BOOT ROM?
    Anyway, it doesn't seem to have the flashing LED problem any more. No idea where to go from here.

  • Trying to turn on my HP compaq d330 but red light flashing and beeping and nothing comes on

    trying to turn on my HP compaq d330 but red light flashing and beeping and nothing comes on help a newbie please

    You can try removing and reseating the memory and see if that works.
    If that doesn't work, remove all but one memory module (if the PC has more than one), and see if the PC runs normally with one memory chip. If it beeps, remove and replace with the memory you removed and keep doing that until you find the bad memory chip.

  • My BB won't turn on the red light flashes and the key's light up

    Hi
    I have read all posts relating to my problem, but one thing my BB won't do is resgister on my computer.  The phone will not turn on, has the red light flashing and the keys light up, but the screen will not come on.  I have tried taking the battery out, charging it all night, all the recommended/ideas from this sight, but no joy.  I have only had this phone since July last year.  I haven't been able to try updating phone etc as it won't register on my or my husbands computer please help
    Louise

    Hi,
    The way you presented it made me think it had just happened.
    So you have had the phone since July has it ever worked?
    Most likely you are missing some or all of your device OS and you'll need to reload the device.
    Because the phone can't generate enough signal you will have to "force detect it". I've attached the link below. If you want to proceed I'll need what version of Device OS and what version of desktop manager software.
    Thanks,

  • HP desktop won't start, red light flashing and beeping, loud fan

    Yesterday it was working just fine. I turned it off for the night and when I tried to turn it on this morning, a red light was flashing and beeping as well as the fan making a loud humming noise. I've read the the beeping and flashing means something. I didn't keep track of the number of flashes and beeps though. After the beeping and flashing I turned the computer off then back on. This time there was no red light, flashing, or beeping. Nothing appeared on the monitor either. After about 10-20 seconds of it being on, the fan started to hum really loudly again.
    It's an HP Compaq dc7900. I've only had it for about 3 months and it was fine up until now.
    Any help? Thanks.

    Hi
    I'v checked the specs for your HP and Acer machines and yes it will be fine to cross over RAM modules they are identical in speed and architecture . Please don't forget the last post about removing the sources of power before you go inside the PC to check RAM . Other thing is if your HP has more than one RAM module remove only one stick first and try to boot . If it still won't boot with that module take that one out and try to boot from the other before you look to swap over modules from Acer machine . Don't forget to re connect your monitor to see if you get display with one / two etc modules . Post me back your findings

  • Q10 has locked me out completely. Won't turn on but red light flashing to specific pattern

    Help! Turned my Q10 off yesterday to reset as emails not getting through. Now won't turn back on - just a little red light flashing at top right of device in a specific pattern. Nightmare-any ideas??

    Connect your Q10 to the known working OEM wall outlet charger.
    After being connected several minutes, LEAVE it connected and remove the battery a minute, and reinsert... does it reboot?

  • My blackberry z30 does not turn on with red light flashing

    hi i have a blackberry z30 , after charging my blackberry z30 it does not turn on and show me a red light blinking 5 times...what i should do? please help. 

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):Connect your BB to the wall chargerLeave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display doesHold the up/down volume keys until the device is fully powered offWait 15 minutesPower up normallyWait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display doesThis has been known to "kick start" some BBs. If it fails, then please try again but increase the step 4 wait time to 2 hours, and perhaps as long as 4-5 hours. If it fails to help, then your next step is in-person evaluation by a qualified technician. If you remain in warranty, seek support under those terms. If you have no warranty, then seek out a local (to you) shop with a qualified technician and have them provide you with a proper evaluation and estimate.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Dv4-1365dx Caps and scroll lights flash 4 times.

    When I turn on my computer, the hard drive starts but then stops. The lights on the touchbar (next to the power button) come on, but the screen does not. Then, the caps lock and scroll lights flash 4 times in sequence. My warranty expired last year, what do I need to do to fix my problem?

    If the hard reset suggested by Erico does not resolve the problem,
    I think it is a hardware issue with graphics if the leds are blinking 4 times. Refer the following weblink:

  • Desktop Computer dc5750 shuts down and red light flashes on front of computer and won't start at all

    I have a DC5750 HP Compaq Computer it is 6 years old, but I have 4GB Ram, Nvidia GS8400 Graphics Card, two one TB Hard Drives. While I tried to re-installed my operating systems it all of a sudden shut down not once but twice, I opened up the side of the computer and found that it was hotter then normal. I let it sit for a while thinking it maybe over heating after hooking it back up I turned it on again nothing happened except a beeping noise and red lights flashing on the front. Can this be fixed as money is an issue.
    Thanks

  • Laptop won't turn on - the power adapter light flashes three times? G62 b29SA

    I've been replacing the fan in my friend's laptop. I had a problem with the trackpad not working after I put it back together and that problem is not yet resolved but I have another problem preventing me from getting further. Now when I press the on button, the power adapter light (next to the socket for the external power) flashes three times and that's all. It flashes again three times every time I press the power button. It does this even with an external power source plugged in (I'm pretty sure that it's supposed to just stay on constantly when the charger is plugged in but the power source I have is a universal one set to 19 V - it has powered up with this plugged in before but I don't know whether it was taking charge from it). Any advice?
    This question was solved.

    I got the charger from my friend and now it boots up just fine. There seem to be many meanings to the three flashes based on my Internet searches but in this case it appears that it's some way of indicating a low battery.
