Touchsmart Indicator Light

Touchsmart 610xt indicator light on left side (by USB ports) blinks. What does this indicate?

Welcome to the forum.  Here is a link to the product specs. for a 610 series TouchSmart. Take a look at the Left side of the system section.  It looks like it is the hard drive activity indicator light you are asking about.
Hope that helps,

    I hope you enjoy your experience!
    To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I see that you are having an issue with the light on the printer staying on solid.  One thing that you can try is to make sure you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip.  Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general.
    Please click on the link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. 
    Once you have the power cable in a wall outlet, power cycle the printer with the use of the ON/OFF button.
    If you are still having issue or if you have any other questions, please feel free to write me back.
    Hope you have a great Tuesday.

  • Battery Charging Indicator Light Is Out

    I own a tangerine iBook, OS X 10.4 operating system.
    For a year or so charging the battery while the power cord in has been a "fussy" project -- sometimes it wouldn't charge until I moved the "plug-in-to-the-computer" end of the cord out ever so slightly. I bought a new power cord, but that didn't change things.
    I don't have internet at hom, so most days I take my laptop and power cord to the public library and use the library's WiFi to look for work. Yesterday I came home, plugged in the power cord, and no battery charging light. I "jiggled" the cord, got out the old power cord and tried that one, then I tried a different electrical outlet. No battery charging indicator light, and the battery is discharging while I use it with the power cord.
    I'm assuming this is an electrical problem that I can't fix, but can anyone fix it? When the battery runs out, will the iBook keep running when plugged into an electircal outlet, or is the electricity not getting to where it need to be?
    I've had problems with the battery not charging before, and once I was advised to reset something, but I've alway had the indicator light on, so now I don't know if power is getting to my computer.
    I went to About This Computer, clicked on Power and saw this:
    AC Charger Information:
      AC Charger (Watts):    0
      Connected:    No
      Charging:    No
    which looks like it doesn't think I'm connected to any power source.

    Yes, if resetting the PMU doesn't work, it does sound like the DC-in board has failed.
    It is not an easy repair (especially for someone who describes herself as "NonTech."

  • After upgrading to Mac OS 10.6.8, sleep indicator light remains off when I start my MB Pro

    After upgrading to Mac OS 10.6.8, sleep indicator light remains off when I start my 15" MB Pro, but the computer works, and when I put it to sleep, the light flashes as normally. Any suggestions?

    Hi j,
    An SMC Reset can fix some SIL issues. If everything is working fine . . . ? Anyway, it shouldn't hurt anything to try it if you want: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • Sleep indicator light not working

    This isn't really that huge of an issue, but I've noticed that the sleep indicator light on my 366MHz Firewire iBook, which I recently bought on eBay and installed a few upgrades in, seems to not be flashing when the computer is asleep. At first I suspected a bad LED, so I swapped it out with a known-good indicator light from my previous 300MHz iBook. That hasn't seemed to work, and both display cables going into the motherboard appear to be securely attached. Oddly enough, I do recall one time when I put the computer to sleep and the indicator light worked (this was somewhere in the middle of my trying to get it to work), but I haven't been able to replicate it.

    Have you tried to reset the Power Management Unit (PMU)?

  • Status Indicator Light not working

    I've been having a recurring issue with the status indicator light on my 15.4-inch MacBook Pro 2.8 GHz (Mid-2009). I learned recently that it's normal for the status indicator light to be on when the computer starts up, shuts down and goes to sleep. Lately, the status indicator light has not appeared at all when the computer starts up, goes to sleep, and shuts down. I've tried almost everything and still nothing has worked
    1.) Checked to see if any of the ports are working: FireWire, Ethernet, MagSafe, SD card, USB, Mini-DisplayPort. These ports are behaving as normal, working fine.
    2.) Checked and successfully paired a seven button Apple Remote to test the IR receiver.
    3.) Ran an Apple Hardware Test, found nothing wrong, passed the test.
    4.) Reinstalled and erased my hard drive, still having issues.
    5.) Bluetooth, AirPort Extreme, microphone, audio ports, speakers, and iSight are working.
    6.) Battery works and the charger is working.
    7.) Backlighting for display and keyboard work.
    The computer is only 1 year and 4 months old. The issue began occurring two months ago. Now the computer does sleep, but if the fans are going, it takes a bit longer for the computer to go to sleep when I close the lid.
    I haven't replaced the hard drive or installed any new hardware.
    The battery and power information is still at 100%:

    My computer's warranty with Apple, including tech support, service, and repair, has expired. However, I do have a remaining two year warranty with Best Buy Geek Squad.
    I'm wondering how much would it cost out of pocket to take this computer to an Apple Store for service and repair with a Mac Genius?
    So is there anything that could be wrong with this computer and if so, please help!

    If you used "Secure erase", you can be certain that there is nothing left on the disk that is causing your problem.
    Because you have a long wait for access to an Apple Authorized Service Provider, if you merely clicked "erase" (the one that does not take more than an hour), you could try Secure Erase now if you want to try the final possible fix you can do on your own.
    ... and installed the combo update recently, the size for that update was over 1GB.
    That is the right one.
    I have been regularly doing those permissions. Thanks for the suggestions.
    You're welcome.
    I'm taking my Mac to Geek Squad and Mac Genius next month when I visit my dad in Georgia, there's an Apple Store about 45 minutes away from his house and a Best Buy that sells Macs, cause it turns out Geek Squad's coverage for Apple/Mac is only in places where they sell Macs. I used my zip code and turned up 0 results but I typed the zip code for where my dad lives in North Georgia, and a Best Buy in Atlanta is available. So I will definitely go there and visit the Apple Store to at least see what my options are.
    If you need help from Apple before you can go to a physical location next month, other Apple Technical Support service option contacts are available here:
      http://www.apple.com/contact/
    Best Buy by far has the best warranty for computers from what the sales associate was telling me. Apparently, Best Buy warranty covers spills, drops & breaks, and overall maintenance issues. In fact, they told me if the computer can't be fixed, they'll replace it with a new one.
    It should surprise nobody when salesmen tell customers that their own warranty product is best. Because you have apparently already paid for the Best Buy warranty, you can take advantage of their warranty and enjoy the "best" results if you can find a location that honors it.
    Thanks for advice and if there's anything else you can think of, let me know.
    You're welcome. You have all my suggestions. However, if I think of anything else, I will post back here.
    We will watch for your status update. Please let us know what fix works for you.

  • G5 Froze & No Longer Able To Start Up - Indicator Light Flashes 3 Times

    I was using Logic while my PowerMac G5 DP 1.8 froze completely. I wasn't able to escape the program or do anything else for that matter so I manually powered down and then when I turned my G5 on again the computer would not start up while the indicator light on the front panel flashed 3 times and then paused and then repeated again indefinitely. Over time the fan starts softly and then gets very loud.
    I have been reading alot of reports, here and elsewhere, that this has been happening to alot of G5's after about 3 years time (which is approximately the same age as my computer). I also tried a bunch of stuff like the PMU reset, pulling out some of the memory and trying to restart the computer but nothing has worked.
    From my web research of other people's experiences, it appears that the logic board or the CPU or both need to be replaced. I have an appointment to take the G5 to my local Apple store but I was wondering what to expect. The G5 is obviously no longer under warranty but are they going to expect me to pay for a new board or CPU? I also read somewhere that in one case the Apple store just fixed the computer with no charge for parts or labor.
    Has anybody had this experience recently and know what to expect? I'm really disappointed and frustrated and this couldn't have happened at a worse time for me! Any advice or insight would def be appreciated...

    Thanks for your response DP...
    I went to my Apple store appointment last night and was informed that 3 blinking lights means either that there is a problem with RAM or that the Logic Board needs to be replaced. They tried to start the machine with their RAM with no success which leaves only the Logic Board as the culprit.
    Once again I am extremely disappointed that my computer which is only 4 years old needs a major repair! And I was quoted ~ $800 from the Apple Store to get it fixed!!!
    FAO DP: Which UPS do you recommend? And do you think that a UPS would have saved my Logic Board? Is there a connection between the use of a UPS and the longevity of the Logic Board in your experience? What hurts the Logic Board - spikes or surges or is it drop-off's too? And just to check, regarding the symptoms I described above, does it seem like my power supply is still working ok?

  • Indicator light failure on G3 iBook after security update

    I use a G3 iBook as second choice for occasional work. Last night after installing the latest Tiger security update I noticed that the indicator light at the front of the book no longer functions. When I put the iBook to sleep I saw there was no little breathing light that's usually going in and out.
    Is this inevitably a hardware malfunction or could there be something in the system that might be causing this?

    Hi Tom,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, 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. (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. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    If no improvement...
    Have you done a PRAM reset...

  • ISight Indicator Light Randomly Turning On

    I have noticed that my green iSight indicator light turns on for about a second and then turns back off. I don't have any programs using iSight running when this happens. I'm not sure what is happening, but does anyone have any ideas as to why this would be? This is a built-in iSight camera on a Macbook Pro running 10.5.5.

    Then take it back to the repair shop before the 90 day repair warranty is up. Advise them the repairs were not done properly. Your iSight cam is "broke."
    When it’s time to pick up your computer from the repair shop:
    * Before you leave the repair shop, make sure you have the repair tech(s) power the comp up and demonstrate that it is indeed working & repaired properly too your satisfaction.*

  • ISight indicator light NOT on?!

    Hi People,
    Have had a MacBook Pro 13" for a month or so and only just noticed the lack of the iSight indicator light. Occasionally when going to Photo Booth it will come on, but dimly so, then flicker and fade away. Has anyone had this before and if so, have you fixed it, short of taking it to Apple under warranty.
    Have reset smc and pram stuff to no success, also the camera itself has always worked.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Mine has always shone when the iSight is in use, it sounds like a dodgy LED so best get it back to Apple right away so they can fix it.

  • Apple TV wifi indicator light

    When did the green, wifi indicator (in lower left corner) get added? And how can you get rid of it?

    What WiFi indicator light?
    Are you talking about on the actual Apple TV device or on some screen somewhere?
    There is no green indicator light on the Apple TV device!

  • The dock indicator lights look fairly dim on the MBA display, but bright on external displays (LCD TVs for example). Any fixes?

    (MacBook Air mid-2012)
    As stated in the title, I've noticed the indicator lights on the dock which represent an open/running application looking fairly dim as opposed to the previous dock design in Lion. After a little look around on the internet, there are some others who are having a similar issue, but I've noticed that upon connecting the laptop to external displays (monitors and LCD TVs), they look extremely bright and noticeable on that particular screen.

    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19126554#19126554 This thread appears to address the same issue, yet its odd how the dock "raises" if connected to an external display in my case. I'm considering locating the image files used to display the dock indicators and photoshopping them to be brighter.

  • Sleep Indicator light stopped working- any way to diagnose and resolve thi

    The Sleep Indicator light on my Powerbook G4 12" 1.5Ghz has ceased to work. Just wondering if this is a sign of anything other than age and if it is possible to resolve at all?

    This was a bit of a non issue it turns out. For some reason it started working again! The light has come back on! Not sure what happened there.

  • ACD sleep indicator light not pulsing

    I installed Windows Vista Home Basic on my Mac Pro yesterday. My display is a 20" ACD (aluminium).
    Since this Vista installation, the indicator light on the ACD does not pulse during sleep, but remains on steadily. The front indicator light on the Mac does pulse as normal during sleep.
    In both instances, this indicator light is off as normal on both the Mac and the ACD while the Mac is being used.
    Is this an issue others have seen, and does it have any negative indications?

    In Displays/Option, the Display Power Button preference had been set to 'Turns the display on and off' and this had caused the problem I described earlier. I am not sure why this option had been selected after the installation of Vista yesterday, because I didn't open Preferences during or after this installation.
    I have now changed the option to 'Puts the system to sleep or wakes it'. This is the option I normally use and I was not actually aware it caused the display sleep light to pulse.
    The display has now returned to the more usual state (for me) of gently pulsing.
    Thank you, Malcolm, you have been very helpful.

    I have tried everything to fix this. I am going to restart my computer again and see if that works this time. I have checked every post about this on Apple Support and other sites (not Apple) to no avail. If anyone out there has any idea that will work help me out.
