Solid red light

My HP Envy HD always had a solid blue light on the tower panel. Last night, the tower panel had a solid red light & monitor said no signal, check video connection, so hubby changed HDMI cable. Still didn't work, but somehow he did get it to work & monito, computer functional. Problem, I still have a solid red line on tower panel. The tower light used to be solid blue - what happened to that? It's solid red consistently, whether I'm using computer or whether it's asleep. Called HP support and was told my computer is fine. They couldn't answer what happened to the blue light. I'm concerned. Red always is a warning, right? Help! Thanks for any advice.

You may need to perform a software repair using PC companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.
Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable.

Solid Red light...black screen, then white screen. No icons.....

Hi....
I have a 2 year-old BB Storm. I have the issue where there is a solid red light that stays on. Screen goes from black to white. The icons never appear anymore. I went to my local Verizon, and they suggested getting a new phone, as they could tell it was a software issue. One technician suggested, before buying a new phone, to try downloading the software from the BB site because sometimes it's been known to push through or flush out the software issue.
My question is, which operating system should I download? I can't go into the device to find out what version I currently have.
I have pictures on this BB. I already lost pictures when I went from my old phone to my BB. I'll be crushed if I lose the remainder.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.
Today, I will commit one random act of senseless kindness. Perhaps YOU will be my "victim".

Hi there,
I'm not sure if you'll be able to save your pictures if they were stored to the device memory, but let's cross our fingers.
To reload your OS, follow the steps here: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Device-software-for-BlackBerry/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-S...
Once there, follow the link to download the OS from Verizon. Just download the most up to date OS.
Good luck!

G5 won't boot, no chime, solid red light, fan rush and no display!

Hello,
As the title states my power mac g5 doesn't start..I suspect it's for the scrap, but hold out hope.
It's around 2005 model. 2.0ghz
Ok so I turn on, fans go into overdrive, red light comes on and does not blink at all, stays solid.
No display, it also does not chime.. Just sits in fan overdrive and solid red light..
I hold the power button to turn off and it does.. No led flashes.. Red light is the one behind the power button, no other lights on..
Help would be greatly appreciated... Have looked at so many links, but they don't have the exact same problem
Thanks in advance.... Innit!

Hello,
Fans going full blast is normal if the OS doesn't load OK.
I suspect this...

Phone doesn't turn on, solid red light, requires send back BUT I have a request.

I've essentially figured out that my Z10 needs to be returned for some sort of warranty / repair, however I'm really hoping that we can request that the data on the phone be saved rather than it just be lost forever. Is this possible? There are many important notes that haven't been backed up.
Symptoms: Phone doesn't turn on, red light comes on solid for a few minutes and then turns off. Connecting it to a computer doesn't result in anything (no computer connection, no change in phone).
I am with Bell, and I even live in Kitchener (I could personally drop into BB to sort this out) I wanted to check here as a last resort before sending it back.
Thanks!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I used these steps from Geek Squad and it worked for me.
Restore BB10
When a BlackBerry 10 device is only flashing the red light and refusing to boot up, this indicates that the device’s operating system has become corrupted. The flashing light may follow the pattern of 1, 2 or 3 short blips, with a longer pause between the sets.
In order to fix this, you need to re-install the operating system on the device, which will then set the device back to its original factory state.
Please note: this process will completely wipe your device, so please make sure you have a backup of your personal information available to restore before going through this process.
Download and install the latest version of BlackBerry Link for your computer.
Open BlackBerry Link software.
Plug in the BlackBerry device using your USB cable.
At the bottom left of the program, find the device you're having issues with and select it by clicking on it.
The BlackBerry Link application will then ask to either reconnect or reload the device software. Choose Reload.
Confirm the reload when prompted to do so, which will wipe clean any data previously on the handset.
Allow the reload to complete, which can take some time. Whilst this is underway, the device will have a solid green light. This process of downloading and reinstalling the device can take an hour or more, depending on the speed of your internet connection, soplease don't disconnect the BlackBerry until the process has finished.
Once the restore is complete, simply set up your device again, or restore it from a previous backup stored on your machine. However, if you want to restore a previous backup, remember to sign in to your BlackBerry ID on the device first! If you're not sure how to do this, we have a full guide available.
The good news is, this process is almost identical on both PC and Apple Mac. Simply follow the same process as above. Finally, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us.

Solid Red Light - Must Remove Battery to Restart - Gray Load Screen w/ Hourglass

My Sprint 8830 will randomly glitch, the screen will go black and the light will stay red. The only way to restart the phone is to remove the battery and go through an extended loading process.
I currently don't have insurance so I'm hesitant to report the issue to Sprint. Has anyone had this problem? My phone is less than one year old.
Any direction?
Thanks,
Kevin

My battery also drains significantly faster than before i added MP3 ringtones.
8.5MB file free is low. You have low memory. Or your device does.
First thing? Check the File Free at Options > Status, what is the number at File Free? Now, remove the battery of your device, hold a minute, replace and reboot. What is the File Free now?

HBA Red Light on 4G side; is tower down or is it antenna issue?

Our Home Fusion has worked well in the first few months, but recently has had multiple interruptions. Today it's down entirely, with the LTE side of the cantenna showing a solid red light even after multiple power off/on reboots. There is only one tower in our area that we could connect to, so I can't tell if it's a problem with the tower being down (had just a bit of rain/wind/etc last night) or if I have a cantenna problem. It's frustrating to not know what's up; even more so to not have a support phone number to call.

Hi absouth, I apologize for the delayed response as I want to make sure that you have been able to keep speeding down the information super highway with 4G LTE! Has the service been restored at this time? I would be more than happy to provide additional support if needed.
Thank You,

IPod Shuffle 3rd Gen Red Light?

I just plugged in my old iPod Shuffle to my MacBook, and there is a solid red light, and it says Preparing iPod for Restore, then goes away, or it says that, then brings up an Error 2005. Any thoughts? It's not under warrenty still, so I was wondering if anybody knows why it's doing this.

I live at the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store. I have had my 2 Ipod shuffles replaced so many times, I've lost track. Typically, they work for awhile, then I
get a blinking red light, then they die. I bought a charger, which works for awhile but then, inevitably, they die.
The Genius Store response? When they die, bring'um back! We'll keep replacing them.
I can't begin to describe the incredible frustration I feel with this product.
I want to switch to another MP3 player, but I've invested a lot of dough in Itunes.
As I write this, I'm looking at my shuffle, forlornly sitting in its dock, connected to my wall charger, no lights at all.

8830 Will not charge, shows solid red LED when connected

I plugged my phone in to my wall charger Saturday night as I always do-Sunday morning the phone was dead and would not turn on. It shows a solid red light on the LED.
I cannot seem to get it to charge. Briefly, the charging battery icon showed up on the screen, but now it went out. Just sitting there, every once in a while the LED goes out.
Help, anyone? I've tried taking out the battery and reinserting both with the phone plugged in and not.

I had same problem except I discovered that as long as I did not let the battery fully die, it would charge with no issues. But if it died completely, I would get the red light briefly, it would go out and then lightning bolt on battery would show up but no charge at all.

IPod shuffle just flashes a red light and won't charge

Hello, I have an ipod shuffle 4th generation. It was a gift from my mom seven months ago, it was working fine until yesterday. It won't chanrge, I have tried with another charger, tried on all the usb port of my computer and the wall outlet and nothing I used it a lot to work since I ride my bike to it. When I connect it, it just flashes a solid red light for 3-5 seconds and that's it.
Can you please help me? I really love my ipod and honestly need the music for my ride to work and since I work in a call center I use there to since I am chat. Thak you in advance, cheers from Panama

If you tried a wall charger (that previously worked with your shuffle) and computer ports, the most likely cause is a problem on the iPod. At seven months, it may not be the battery (although it sounds like you use it a lot every day), but it sounds like the battery is unable to charge.
Does the iPod still appear in iTunes when you connect it? If it does, you can try doing a Restore using iTunes.
Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
If the wall charger is something you did not previously try, it's possible that the computer's USB port is not supplying enough power. As a test, shut down (power off) your computer and disconnect all USB devices (including any hubs). You can leave standard keyboard/mouse connected, if used. If the computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter so that it's not running on battery power. Put the shuffle power switch in the OFF position. Start up computer, run iTunes, and connect iPod to a direct USB port on the computer.
At seven months, it is still under warranty.

HELP! BB Pearl 8130. Solid Red Led Light. Won't go away.. HELP!

My LED has turned a solid Red color. It's on all the time and is only off when I pull the battery out. My phone does still charge. I've done everything to get rid of it even wiping my blackberry and upgrading the software. I read something about Blackberry Music Gateway? I do use my pearl to listen to Pandora everyday and iheart radio with a 3.5 cable that plugs into the dash of my truck, but it never did this before. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Justin

Justin, so you've wiped the device completely and reloaded a new OS... still does the same. Anytime the BlackBerry is powerd on, the LED lights up RED?

7914 Expansion module - all lights are solid red

Hi,
I am trying to get an expasion module 7914 to work with my 7960.
These are some extracts from my config:
CONFIG (Version=4.0(1))
=====================
Version 4.0(1)
Cisco CallManager Express
load 7914 S00104000100
load 7960-7940 P0030702T023
At the moment when I go into the ephone with the expansion module, I can NOT enter the "add-on 1 7914" command. It is simply not available and not listed when I do a "show a?" command under the ephone
It seems to me that I am using the correct firmware but I can't get the expansion module to do anything. It simply sits there with a blank screen and all the buttons lighted in solid red.
The 7960 attached to it is working properly.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thank you

I am responding because we also had difficulty getting our two 7914 expansion modules to work with our 7960.
I'm not sure I understand your problem with configuring the ephone. Are you using a telnet into the CME gateway and the CLI (Command Line Interface). I would do it that way, not through any kind of browser or GUI.
You will need to log in in enable mode and then
CME# config t
CME# ephone
CME# type 7960 addon 1 7914
Hope this helps some... Try TAC if all else fails.

I have a Samsung Network Extender, model SCS-2U01, and for the past two weeks, the SYS light has gone from solid blue to a blinking red light, disconnecting me from my business calls. In reading the forums, it was mentioned that Verizon had to reset something on their end to fix the issue. Would you be able to confirm if something needs to be reset to fix the issue? Thank you!

First, try the normal stuff: power cycle your modem, router, and NE allowing time for each component to stabilize before turning on the next in sequence modem > router > NE. If necessary, try resetting your modem and router. If it still doesn’t work verify it is listed in MyVerizon and then calling Verizon Wireless Customer Service at (800) 922-0204. Good luck!

Red light stops blinking and then stays solid

This one is strange. I open an email on my BB and the red light stops blinking and then stays solid for about 5 minutes. It doesnt go off when I close the email either.
Took the battery out to see if that would clear it but it still doing it.
Any thoughts ?????

Hi Willsie,
Sounds like when the red light is solid, the device is still usable? Assuming this is correct, I have three questions for you:
1. Can you you confirm this problem ONLY happens when you open up emails in the Messages application?
2. Can you tell us the application version you are running from (OPTIONS > ABOUT)?
3. Also, which third party applications do you have installed?
tnx

Solid red light
