The Flashing Orange Power Light Of Doom! [HH3]

I've had no internet service for a week now, on Infinity 2 with HH3.
All lights on the white modem are green, the hub won't even start, just goes to a steady orange, then after about 15 seconds, a continuously flashing orange power light, and stays there.  The other lights are dark.  Power cycle doesn't work, holding down the reset button doesn't even reset it.
After lengthy "troubleshooting" on the phone with India, I received a replacement HH3 yesterday, plugged it all in and got all blue lights for all of 3 seconds and then - wham - reset to flashing orange light, which now stays there no matter what I do.  The issue was escalated to "Tier 1 support" by India yesterday, but heard nothing.
No service problems reported in my area according to the BT website, but India seemed adamant that it was a network issue (after being adamant that it was a faulty hub earlier in the week...).
This is getting very frustrating now, anyone have any idea what could be causing this ??!   I really just want an engineer to come out but India wouldn't arrange that.

It should be quite easy to prove by bypassing the hub and connecting the modem to the PC, then setting up a broadband PPPOE connection.
Here's some instructions provided by Rygg
try a direct connection to the modem. This will rule out your homehub and internal wiring as the fault.
1: Remove the homehub from the modem
2: Connect your pc/laptop into the modem using LAN1 port 
3: Open network and sharing centre on windows and click set up a new connection or network
4: Connect to the Internet (the top option) then click make a new connection Broadband PPPoE
5: Username [email protected] and the password as anything you want
6: connect, if it cannot connect, just keep pressing try again if this happens and it will eventually connect.

  • Home hub 3 orange power light and speed problem

    Hi, I have posted this again as I think I posted in the wrong place last time being new to the site!
    Hi, I have a Home Hub 3 Version A. Orange power light constantly on.
    I came across this site while looking for answers and quickly registered to post this.
    I have tried all suggestions including a neighbours power supply (Version A as well) to no avail.
    Background to help with replies.
    I have been had option 3 since 2003.
    In that time I have had
    H H 1 (failed)
    H H 1 replacement (failed)
    Netgear – weak wireless and does not like Vodafone suresignal
    H H 2 constant dropouts
    Back to Netgear
    H H 3 Version A lasted 24hrs
    Back to Netgear.
    For the last 5 months we have been having line problems, regular dropouts.
    BT Openreach have been out 4 times, changed virtually everything and traced line back to Exchange.
    The last engineers conclusion was line at my home is capable of 12meg and was being throttled as he called it to around 6meg.
    He suggested trying a H H 3 and contacting BT for line to be opened up.
    For two reasons.
    With a faster speed line fault would be easier to locate.
    Line was capable of so much more.
    Several LONG calls to BT answering all the format questions first, (to be fair 0800 so no cost) each time first being told my speed was within contract stated speeds, then after my explanation regarding BT Openreach engineers views I was told an engineer would be contacted to improve line speed.
    Needless to say nothing happened.
    The frustrating point being each new call generated the same response – NOTHING on their system to show a previous call had been made by me.
    Hence the reason for this post.
    I feel the helpline, whilst free, achieves nothing except a long time on the phone answering repetitive questions answered before.
    I am loathe to phone again as I will undoubtedly be told there is no record of any previous calls or action and I want to resolve the H H 3 Version A problem so it can be used.
    Any help appreciated

    Hi John46 and thanks for the reply.
    Can't try H H 3 it is dead.
    i saw somewhere on the forums when i first found you about a route that simplifies action from BT.
    Have looked since and cannot locate it.
    Do you know where it is?

    Thank you for pointing me to the test, even if I had a game with Java before I could use it (New PC)!
    As I read the results I am under 8meg. Openreach engineer said line was being 'throttled' as it was capable of circa 12meg this distance from the exchange. I am meant to be on 20meg contract.
    Chhers,
    I will watch out for a reply.
    Any pointers on the H H 3 complaint route would be appreciated, i am begining to think I imagined it!!!

  • Flashing Orange / Green Light

    I have a 512 MB Shuffle that I bought about 2 years ago. I haven't used it for a while, and decided to dust it off. It loads correctly to the computer, but I get the flashing green orange light when I press play. In reading another post, I checked to see if the files are compatible, and they are. I've also got the latest version downloaded. Can someone give me a clue as to what to do or am I screwed?

    I have the same problem, but mine doesn't show up as a drive on either my PC or my Mac, not in iTunes either, and it doesn't play music.
    I ran the utility, but it didn't change the status of the flashing orange and green lights.
    Is there any way to at least get it to the status of just a storage drive?

  • Flashing Orange Warning Light

    Hello all,
    The Xserve at the studio I work at has a flashing orange light on the front panel and i've been sent to suss out the issue. Apparently running the server monitor yields the message "server monitor is not installed properly".
    Now we're not sure if the flashing light is because of the above error message or another issue and we're reluctant to take the server offline.
    Can anyone suggest some possible causes for this warning and let me know if this needs immediate attention?
    Thanks.

    The orange light is something you should investigate. It might be benign, but it might not. I don't think Server Monitor's setup itself would cause this.
    IIRC the commonest cause of that message is that the LOM hasn't been properly configured on the server and since Server Monitor communicates through the LOM that's a critical component.
    You can reset the LOM values in Server Monitor (use the menus to 'Setup Local Machine' (or some such)). Setup the LOM with values suitable for your network then try again.

  • Flashing Orange Broadband light for days at a time...

    Hi Guys,
    Been having a problem with broadband connection for past couple of months.Seems to be fine for a few days and then orange light starts flashing on hub.Usually turns blue again within a couple of hours but sometimes is out for several days.I have a very long 9km phoneline and the speed is only 0.5Mb at best but it has been consistent for 4 years.I'm worried that maybe the line has deteriorated a little more and thats the reason for the drop outs. The hub is currently connected in the test socket with all upstairs phone extensions disconnected.I've have 2 hubs and have tried both with different filters and get the same problem so i think it must be a line issue.Any help and advice would be appreciated.
    Currently writing this via a mobile broadband connection because the hub as been out for 2 days.

    The issue for me isn't the speed although it is snail speed by todays standards.The range of speeds i usually get is between 0.25 and 0.5 Mbps,it's always faster in cooler weather in the winter and seems to slow during periods of hot weather.Maybe the line expands a little when it's warmer,i'm not sure.The 288Kbps is normal for my connection.I've noticed that sometimes just before the connection drops,the downstream noise margin drops to around 1db which then drops out the connection.
    It's been connected for around 4 hours now and stats seem pretty stable.

  • Constant orange Power light!

    Hi,
    I'm very new to BT Broadband, having had it installed on Wednesday. All was good until last night when the Hub3 started restarting then going into power saving mode (which I had not activated on the Hub Manager).
    If I turn it on and off again the orange light stays on. It will not restart and nether will it reset.
    Now and again the orange light will flash, only for it to become solid again.
    Help!
    Thanks 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi i suggest you you contact customer services on 08001114567 and request a new hub as that one is a faulty one

  • MSI GT70 laptop - orange power light

    What does it mean if the power button's light which is usually white turns orange and stays that way?

    I believe orange is if the Nvidia card is running in Optimus mode.  If you have an application like Steam installed, it likes to run on the Nvidia card.  You can change this preference if you like.

    I was checking another thing, usually the switches we use here in my work supports a maximum of 14W per port or 15.4w, this wap is consuming 15.2w
    Is this the problem??

  • IMac black screen and flashing power light

    I installed several system updates on my 2007 iMac last night, running OS 10.7, and today I can only get a black screen with a flashing white power light when I try to start up. My computer will neither start up nor completely shut down, and my wired keyboard won't communicate either. Help!

    Power down, unplug if needed.
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk.

  • HP 6940: carriage stuck at left side, resume and power lights flashing

    I've used this printer under ubuntu/linux for about 2-1/2 years. Color printing has always been a challenge, I get about one usable page per 5 test pages. About a year ago, it stopped printing; hp-info (part of the hplip package) said the color cartridge was defective. I was able to get black&white printing by removing the color cartridge.
    This week, I had to print some stuff in color. I pulled the color cartridge out of its ziplock, re-installed it, and ran a quick cleaning. A test print showed that wasn't enough, and I ran a full cleaning, after which I was able to print a good test page, and then one page of my job.
    When I tried to print the second page, nothing happened, and the resume and power lights started flashing. I cycled power on the printer (I have to do this very frequently, even for black and white jobs), but it didn't fix the problem. I pushed resume, but no dice. I pulled the back cover to check for paper jams: nothing jammed. Replaced the back cover, pulled the paper from the tray: nothing jammed. Replaced the paper in the tray. Pushed resume again: it made noise, but didn't clear the problem.
    I opened the lid, and the carriage was all the way to the left-hand side. Pushed resume: a small plate in the loading dock at the right-hand side moved forward and then back, but the carriage stayed at the left-hand side. Tried (gently) to move it to the right, but it's firmly in position.
    hp-info now says:
    "status-desc                   Paper or cartridge carriage jammed"
    The color cartridge is an HP cartridge, and came with the printer. The paper is HP paper.

  • Flashing orange light and wrong size info

    I have seen a lot of post about the flashing orange light so have an idea what I could do - but if someone has a definitive up to date answer I would appreciate it.
    The problem started when I set up itunes then the ipod on my laptop after setting it all up originally on my desktop.
    The other thing I have noticed is that in the settings section it says my ipod has a capacity of 92Gb and that I am using 16Gb which is obviously a bit odd on a 1Gb bit of kit.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers

    Thanks for that.
    I have done a number of restores and still have the same issue.
    On the restore front - I have read something about having 4 restore options, but I have not had any option choices when I have tried it.
    Cheers

  • I have bought the wireless keyboard for my iPad.  I was working for a day but now the power light won't stay on and as such won't connect to the iPad.  I have changed the batteries but still no difference.

    I have bought the wireless keyboard for my iPad.  I was working for a day but now the power light won't stay on and as such won't connect to the iPad.  I have changed the batteries but still no difference.

    Not knowing which wireless keyboard you bought, it is difficult to be specific.  but ...
    it is quite normal for the keyboard's power light not to stay on - it is a way of conserving battery power.
    Try this:
    turn you keyboard off
    on your iPad go to Settings > Bluetooth
    if your keyboard is listed under Devices, then touch the little blue i to its right and choose Forget this Device
    now reset your iPad:  hold both the Home and Power buttons down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears, let go promptly when the Apple logo appears and wait another 30 seconds for your iPad to turn itself on
    After your iPad is back on again go back to Settings > Bluetooth
    now turn your keyboard back on and see if it appeard under Now Discoverable
         if it doesn't read your keyboard guide to figure out how to put it into Discovery mode
    touch the listing for your keyboard under Now Discoverable, it should now appear under Devices
    touch the listing for you keyboard under Devices, and choose to pair with it.
