[SOLVED] S.M.A.R.T short/long tests failed

When I try to launch either short or long test to my hard drive, it stops at 10% saying: "FAILED". Any ideas? I know it has some bad sectors.
Also does anybody knows how to repair uncorrectable and pending sectors marked by s.m.a.r.t? If so, which tool?

Buy a new drive and replace this one ASAP. No, seriously. Even if it works for now, it's going to spiral into a nightmare sooner or later. If you really want to, you can use tools like badblocks or hdrecover to prolong it's agony, but it's still going to fail.

Hard drive Short DST test failed

My laptop HP Envy 15 fails to load Windows. I ran diagnostics and got a error. The HP UEFI diagnostics for hard disk failed the Short DST test with failure code UC2DUW-7HH7HH-MFPV6K-60QH03. Does this mean I have to replace my hard drive? My laptop's product ID is G0T55AV and I have Win 8-64 installed on it.

Hi there:
Yes that means you've a failing/failed HDD. You've to replace with a new one.
If you're under warranty, HP would send you replacement HDD.
If you've not yet created Recovery USB/discs after you setup the laptop, you may order them from HP.
Order recovery USB:

Your Hp Envy 15t-k000 CTO Notebook PC came with 1TB HDD if I'm not mistaken.
If you're not under warranty, you can buy a new branded 2.5inch SATA internal laptop HDD . Get HDD of at least 1TB for recovery USB to work.
This would help you in replacement, it's a bit of work to for that:

Pavillion g6-2218nr Hard Disk Short DST test Failed

I have an HP Pavillion g6-2218nr notebook that will not start up. When running the start-up diagnostic test and the Hard Drive diagnostic test, both tests showed the Hard Disk Short DST FAILED.
The failure code is:
GUQDU4-6B872D-MFPX1F-60Q103
Product ID:
C2N56UA#ABA
The notebook is unfortunately out of warranty. Does the hard drive need to be replaced? Can you recommend a replacement? Are there instructions available?
Thanks!

Hi,

Hard Disk Short DST Test Failed

Hi,
I haven't used my laptop in about a month, and when I booted up, I got a black screen. I went into system diagnostics, ran a htest drive test and it failed on short DST. My failure code is: 0GAP7W-5LJ67H-MFGH5G-60WF03
I'm out of warranty by 2 months. Any advice on how to possibly fix this will be much appreciated. I'm pretty experienced in technology. I have access to a windows 8 boot cd, and Ubuntu Linux.

Hi:
The short DST fail normally means you need to replace the hard drive.

Amend Short & Long Text in GL A/c master

Hello All,
We created a GL account without reference to an eisting account at Chart of Accounts level. We do not attach it to any Company code. In this situation we are able to amend the short & long text of the GL account after it is saved.
But in case we create the GL account with reference to an existing account at CoA level not attaching it to any Co. code & saving it; we are now NOT able to amend the short & long text of the account. We are allowed to amend only the GL account group.
Please let me know by using what method we will be able to amend the short & long text of this GL account.
Thanks

Hello,

Fail to boot (short-short-short-long beep code) after M92p BIOS Update

Hi,
I recently updated my BIOS to the latest version using the System Update tool from Lenovo. For a while everything seemed to be working alright, as the BIOS was dowloaded and the computer rebooted. After rebooting the first time i was presented with the BIOS utility, and noticed that the update was progressing.
After 20 or so seconds the computer rebooted again. This is where my problems began. The computer immediately started beeping this short-short-short-long melody from the speakers. I thought this was normal, so I left the computer on for quite a while.
However, the beeping never stopped. Now the beeping resumed the instant i plug the power back in. I have yet been able to actually getting any sort of information on-screen telling me what's wrong.
I've tried following the "Recovering from a POST/BIOS update failure" on page 267 of the Hardware Maintenance Manual, but no luck with that so far. No matter where I place the jumper, the beeping code is the same short-short-short-long melody (yeah, it sounds like a disney tune or something).
Any bright ideas? The machine type is a M92p 2992-B3G
I'd hate to have to send it in for repairs, and Lenovo's Norwegian support line doesn't open until Monday, and there seems to be no way to call their 800-number in the states from here
Oh, and would this be covered by my warranty if repairs / motherboard replacement is the only way out?
UPDATE #1:
I found this in the manual;
3 short beeps and then 1 long beep DRAM memory
error
Perform the following actions in order.
1. Make sure the memory module(s) are properly seated
in the connector(s).
2. Replace the memory module(s).
3. Replace the system board.
This is pretty much Lenovo's way of saying "You're screwed", isn't it?
UPDATE #2:
I've now tried pretty much everything;
The solution as proposed on page 267 in the Hardware Maintenance Manual
Unplugging all cables and harddrives before booting
Removing my PCIe video card and PCI Wireless NIC before booting
Removing all memory modules, and trying 1 and 1 module
Moved a memory module from another machine that I know is working
No luck so far.
Ideas would be welcome at this point

I'm glad to hear it's just a simple memory error, however the original problem in this post is a bit more than just a memory problem.
This became a problem after a BIOS update, so somewhere along the way one of Lenovo's developer screwed up badly, and it's been bugging me ever since. There's absolutely no way for me to use any PCI-e card with my M92p.
I've tried 6 different cards, 3-4 different memory module combinaties, with our without harddrives plugged in, and every thinkable combination of these.
No luck. Therefore, I simply conclude that Lenovo are dicks, and we all know what dicks enjoy doing; **bleep**ing people over.
I've given up on the issue, and I'll never buy a Lenovo again after this.

Apple Cinema Display 23" - Blank Screen, "short-long-short" LED code

Hello everyone.
This sounds like something of an epidemic... My Apple Cinema 23" HD Display (bought Dec. 2007) hasn't been turning on after a power outage hit our area last week.
The Computer and Display were OFF when the outage occurred. Everything was plugged into a surge suppressor. Everything ELSE plugged in to the suppressor is fine (including my Mac CPU)... but not the monitor.
It’s not dead-dead…. It’s a blank screen but there IS a morse-code flash on the LED (short-long-short). According to Apple Support’s LED Translation, it SHOULD be something to do with the power adaptor. The adaptor IS correct… a 90 watt… but just in case I bought ANOTHER 90w adaptor brick. I plugged the monitor to the new brick. THE RESULT WAS THE SAME.
I’ve tried power cycling, I’ve tried plugging it into different outlets, I’ve tried connecting to other computers. The same LED result remains.
And, yes, of course, I’ve got no Apple Support, and from what I read in similar posts, outside-the-warranty repairs could hit around $400. I REFUSE!
For now I have a Samsung monitor from Costco. It’s not bad, but it’s not the Apple monitor with its awesome color-fidelity.
I've read some other posts with the same problem (LED blink code and all) elsewhere but haven't got a solid answer.
I wonder… has anyone else incurring this same problem (with the same LED flashing deal) tried to use a 150-WATT adaptor brick? I would try this myself, but I’m currently financially unable (and personally unwilling) to throw more cash at this problem unless I know it’ll fix it.

Hi all!
As mentioned on the title of this topic *I HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM* with my 23" Cinema Display...
Before the failure, the monitor *WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION* (trust me when I comment this, my whole life is in front of a monitor)
*THE PROBLEM SHOWED UP THE DAY I MOVED THE MONITOR TO AN OTHER OFFICE* (???). Please note that *I TOOK EXTRA CARE WHEN I MOVED THE MONITOR*, besides, when something costs around 1K you owe to.
*I TRIED AN 150W ADAPTER ON IT AND WORKED FINE!!!* Just like before.
But since *IT WAS UNDER GUARANTY* I sent it to the local distributor who eventually *REPLACED IT WITH A "NEW" ONE*, which after remarks from my side it turned out it wasn't "new" but re-manufactured by Apple (off course, he guarantied me the parts in it, where brand new and had 0 hours of usage).
In my question to the technical representative of Apple *"WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY MONITOR"*, he answered me that *THE INVERTER WAS FAULT*.
After that I questioned him *"WHY MY MONITOR MANAGED TO WORK WITH THE 150W ADAPTER?"*, he answered me that *THE EXTRA CHARGE OF THE 150W ADAPTER WAS ABLE TO "EXCITE" SUCCESSFULLY THE FAULTY INVERTER IN ORDER TO WORK* and that *IT WAS A MATTER OF MONTHS FOR THE MONITOR TO FAIL AGAIN*.
That's my story... I hope it may help some of you... Personally I can't have an opinion on the matter, since I'm not a technician. The only thing on which I can comment is that *A 1K MONITOR SHOULD BE WAY MORE DURABLE AND TOLERANT WHEN YOU TRANSFER IT AROUND (if that cause the problem of course)*

PwermG5 on/off icon flashes 3 times; short short long

What shd I do....on/off icon flashes 3 times; short short long??

Can you count the beeps or flashes?
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.
Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

HT2811 If the display flashed short long short could the power supply be bad?

If the display flashed short long short could the power supply be bad?

Hello,
In order to determine what might be going on, I am going to need a little more information about your setup such as:
-what version of the cFP drivers are you using?
-where/what device are you outputting voltage to? at what voltage? how much current do those devices require?
-could you explain further by what is meant by '[at] approximately 30 seconds, all channels on that PWM shut off'. Are the lights on the modules still illuminated when the system 'shuts off' or do they remain on?
-Do you have another power supply you could try this with?
-Does the power supply meet the specifications for use with this module per p. 4 and 5 of the FIELDPOINT AND SPECIFICATIONS™ OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FP-PWM-520 and cFP-PWM-520 Eight-Channel, 5 V...
-Does the power supply continue to output 24VDC even after the 'shut down'?

My Apple display power button is flashing short-short-long.

My Apple display power button is flashing short-short-long. I know what it means and I checked everything and everything seems fine. What can I do to ensure everything is really fine and the flashing stops. The computer and the display worked fine for over a year. It started doing it when I switched my computer off using the power button on the display. it never happened before.
thanks!

What you might try is unplugging the monitor at it s ADC connexion to the video card and the plugging it back in - all with the Mac turned on and everything working (and flashing).
I had an LCD/ADC flatscreen monitor that would dim the top half of the screen and start flashing whenever I would run Disk Warrior or Applejack or switch to a different startup drive. Simply unplugging and replugging would return it to normalcy - for days or weeks - but sooner or later.... Grew tired of waiting for it to go altogether and bought another monitor, but I tried it the other day on a spare Mac and - sure enough - it started up dim and flashing. Remedy was the same: unplug and replug the ADC connexion and it was back to normal. No idea why!
No guarantee, and no idea how long it might last, but the effort is small and the price is right.

HT2811 So, my cinema display is sending short long short...

Okay, so my cinema display is sending short long short. That means I have a pwer supply probem, apparently. But I have two screens and so can swap over the power supplies; the one giving the error message continues to err, so the fault is not with the power supply but with the screen itself, right?
The screens having been working perfectly for years (five?). All I did was carry them between buildings. A static charge is a possible occurrence here in a dry part of China. The screen has working ports - the keyboard I am using is driven by the faulty screen (the screen procaliming a fault, really).
What am I missing? I'm out of ideas - and, being China, help is a long way off.

You uhave to buy a 150 Watt power supply to make it work again. its a well known problem.

Kernel Panic and monitor light flashes short-short-long-related?

Greetings, all. It appeared my computer was free of its long-running kernel panics, and then the KPs returned. Before the KPs became an issue, the monitor started the short-short-long error warning on the power light. Is it >possible< that the monitor error can cause a KP? I ignored the monitor issue (the top half of the screen has faded slightly but didn't compel me to get a new one), and I do not have a spare monitor to connect to do a test.
Thanks for your help.
Vince

It's hard for us to say. Best would be to run the Apple Hardware Test disk that shipped with your Mac, and see if it flags any hardware; monitor for example.
Cheers!

does anyone know what does it mean when the white led blinks "short-short-long" on an Apple Cinema Dispaly 23 inch?
Is it dangerous?
Someone says that it is the power supply.
