Strange caps lock / num lock issue after sleep

When I return to my desktop after the macbook has been put to sleep sometimes the CAPS LOCK / NUM LOCK are activated on keyboard. Actually it's not activated, it is only the small green dots on the keys that shine, however when typing anything it's not in CAPS.
This is really strange and I have no idea why this happens? Any one else got this, and/or a possible solution?

sorry for this dubblepost. Anyway please answer my question

Blinking caps and num lock lights

Opened up the lid on sleeping laptop and had nothing but a blank screen and blinking caps and num lock lights. I finally got vista restarted after turning it off and on a couple of times. Everything seems to be working, however the caps and num lock lights are still blinking every 2 seconds. Any thoughts on what is causing this?

Hello,
The blinking caps and numlock are a diagnostic feature of the Dv7 Notebook ( and others ). Depending on the combination it can be a number of different symptoms. They can be as minor as the battery having an insuficient charge or as serious as a CPU failure. I would recommend updating the ROM BIOS on your unit to ensure you have the latest fixes.- Make sure you have the latest one for your model - Here is a link to a document on the Blink Codes.

Caps Lock/Num Lock LED blinks 5 times on bootup - HP ProBook 6450b

Hi all members/pros, I was tasked to resolve a bootup issue on a HP ProBook 6450b and did managed to get it up and running again without much effort. The notebook Caps Lock/Num Lock LED flashes/blinks 5 times and then pauses and blinks again 5 times. Seeked assistance on online HP support(link below) and it stated that it was a System board failure. http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01732674 So then I opted to swap the hard disk tand LCD monitor hardware with with another HP ProBook 6450b which is functional but display damaged as the user was a senior manager at where I worked - Boroko Motors, Papua New Guinea - and prolong downtime was not an option. Just as I was about to get under the hood, the buggered notebook deciided to spring back to live loading onto the Windows login screen. I noiced also that I was in our server room(with much cooler temperature) that may have aided the componenets on the main borad to function so I presumed the cooling system was at fault. I then got under the hood and confirmed that the fan/vents were clogged up with dust/debris which might have collected over time. Did the cleaning and after that it hasnt failed so far... Thanks all! Get the HP ProBook 6450b service manual here: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02760808.pdf

I, recently, bought a 6735b hp laptop for $100. It does the same thing as your describe. I think the motherboard overheated. So, I ordered a new motherboard from getcomputerparts.com out of China to see if it will solve the no boot problem. I'm hoping this will solve the problem. I noticed that when I first got the laptop, second hand, that the fan wasn't blowing out, and later found a lot of dust that simply blowing it out solved the air circulation problem. I think that the heat destroyed some connections to the video or hard disk drive controller chip which made my hdd light blink on and off every second or so, and also made my Optical Drive seem to blink its LED on and off, and a slight scratching sound every second, as well.
I also, saw on Youtube.com, a video about the nvidia video chip getting connection heat damage at the solder joints, and there was a way of putting a penny with heat sink paste after 'burning' it for a couple of hours with a hot spotlight lamp with aluminum foil around the rest of the board to protect the rest of the board other than the video chip. But, this was on another hp product that failed after 1 year, no screen no POST.
I am hoping a 'new' system board will do the trick though, and I am spending about $153 for the part delivered, and $75 to put it in at a local computer shop.

Caps and Num lock blinking indefinitely

Hey everyone.
My brother just encountered the infamous startup error on his dv7-2045eo with blinking Caps and Num lock, but they are not blinking 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 times. They just continue to blink. What exactly does that mean? Other than that, it's just the regular startup error thing with black screen. We've tested the power supply, and it's just fine, so it shouldn't be a power issue.
The hard drives are also okay.
Any ideas?

Cpu upgrades for dv4-1222nr; also confirm that caps-lock/num-lock repeated flashing is cpu failure

1) What CPUs can I interchange in the dv4-1222nr? It comes with the amd rm-72
2) won't boot - fan powers up then powers down, then waits approx 12 sec, then caps lock & num lock flash approximately every two seconds. I interpret this as repeated flashing of one, but it keeps flashing.... diagnostic document says it's supposed to repeat only 6 times.
Scenario: Closed the laptop lid, which caused it to go to sleep, but this time it never awoke!. Fan has been grinding but still worked, however upon dissasembly discovered the heatsink was partially plugged. ALWAYS RAN HOT DUE TO POOR DESIGN. It was a hot day, and closing the lid actually increases the temperature.
3) I presume, and I am pretty sure about this, that this laptop has no thermal shutdown threshold, i.e. shuts down automatically when it gets too hot. Every desktop motherboard I've seen allows thermal limits to be set. Another fail.

Hi,
This book shows you CPU's supported from day 1:

Caps lock Num Lock sign

Hi
I have a Toshiba all in one and I am getting the Caps Lock, Num Lock signs hanging in the middle of my screen. When I reboot it can be moved to the bottom of the screen but after a while it just stays in the centre of my screen which becomes very annoying.
Does anyone know how to get rid of this permanently.
Thanks

Bank recognizes user id but not the password(cap lock,num lock and password carefully checked)

When I try to log on to my bank, the bank recognizes the user id but the password the bank sees is not correct. I went through the process with a tech at the bank watching at their end. (cap lock,num lock and password carefully checked) When I switched to Chrome browser no problem logging on. This just started a few days ago. Any ideas?

Today I tried Firefox again and the bank login worked. I only had trouble with my bank recognizing the password (that I very carefully typed). Other sites such as Hotmail had no trouble recognizing my password. I worked with the bank tech guy and tried to log on with him watching at his end. I even reset the password a couple of times. What he saw was the correct user name but incorrect password. He claimed no knowledge of any such issues with the bank software. When I switched to Chrome browser I had no trouble logging in.
The problem is solved for now.
But what happened?

Hi,
First, try a Hard Reset as follows.
Shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for a full minute. Re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and see if the notebook will start.
If it still doesn't start, is there a sequence to the 'blinks' that you can match to the table below?

CAPS and num lock?

hi all,
when i need to use caps and num lock(both on at same time) to write an essay, sometimes the computer freeses. Why does it do this?

A freezing computer isn't a good thing - is it always happening with a specific application? And if so which one? You can try launching Disc Utility and repairing permissions if you haven't done so - also, the app. called Onyx is great for running your regular maintenance scripts, and it's free as well.
Sometimes a restart may clear things up too. Try some of these and see if there is a difference.

G510 Caps Lock/Num Lock indicator

Hi!
Is there any way Lenovo can create a simple program for Caps Lock/Num Lock indicator for G510? There is practically no way of determining if Num Lock is enabled or not, only by testing manually.
Would love to have that kind of app.
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Welcome to the forum !
There are several free third party applications that will accomplish the same thing. Basically the application loads at Startup and places indicators for the Caps Lock and Num Lock down in the Tray or on your Desktop.
Here is the results of a Google Search for those applications..........

CPU not functional - 1 blink of caps and num lock

I have HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook
It started giving me blank screen with caps lock and num lock blinking, and I went to the HP support and found out that it has something to do with "CPU not functional" thing. I have to say this diagnosis is bogus and on HP site it says I have to contact HP support for this, and when I go to contact HP support they said my warranty has ended so I cannot even send them an email about it except come to this forum again post my grievance. It seems this error is happening to many customers, and if I remember correctly CPU is not something that will go wrong suddenly, maybe the motherboard or battery, but all hardware parts not the CPU. It seems there is a known issue with DV series of notebooks where this blinking is happening. To your surprise I'm now using the same laptop to post this while the lights are still blinking. The best place HP support directed me was either to pay for service or to contact recycling, REALLY? Is this really the award-winning support HP has. I am dismayed with the intricacy the site has in getting your problems heard by HP and get a resolution. So here I am asking for the community forum if they have fixed their laptops after getting the famous "CPU not functional" error.
And now before I submit this, the cpu fan has started to make very scary noises, just like a small motor bike, somebody please help me.

HP G61-511wm caps lock + num lock flash 2 times

Hello. I was using my HP G61-511wm and doing normal shopping on eBay, when an error came up: "Windows has shut down to protect your computer". Shortly after, the laptop shut down. After powering it back on, it would boot to an HP Screen but freeze. After that, I powered it down again, turned it back on again, and now the num lock and caps lock lights are blinking twice. I recently installed "HTC Sync Manager" for my HTC Desire 510 phone, that was the most recent application i installed on the laptop. (I installed it a few days ago) Hewlett-Packard technical support states that this is a corrupted Bios. How is there a solution to fix a corrupted Bios? I have taken out the CMOS battery, unplugged and held the power button for 30 seconds, tried switching RAM sticks, and tried switching hard drives but to no avail. I really need this laptop fixed here soon. It is my work / travel laptop. Thank you.

Hi,
Please try a hard reset and see if it works.
1. Power off your laptop
2. Remove the a/c adapter, battery and everything that is attached to your laptop.
3. Hold the 'POWER 'button down on your laptop for about 10 seconds.
4. Plug in the a/c power supply (without battery) and power on.
Regards.

My HP Pavillion dv4 has a black screen and blinking Caps and Num lock

BEFORE anyone says to take out everything and press the start button for however many seconds, i've tried that. I've also tryed counting blinks, but there seems to be no pause in blinks, thus continuous blinking.
SO, recently i have updated my laptop, i let it shut off but i did not choose for it to restart. Today when i tried to turn it on, the screen was black, did not turn on and the caps lock and the num lock have been blinking continuosly, without pattern. The touch screen volume and such is also on and after a few seconds the fan turns on. There is no loud beep, just the regular startup soft beep. So, i would like to know, if anyone knows what i can do, before i have to go and pay to fix this thing.

i have took it to the apple store, i am out of warranty and they said it is a hardware problem, god knows whats causing the black screen it is fine when on as i got it fixed at a local phone shop but when the phone dies then there is no bringing it back to life.
