Two beeps and flashing screen

My wife's 3rd generation nano stopped working while she was listening to a podcast for runners. There was no response.
I tried resetting it, pressing the middle button and the top for over ten seconds. No apple logo but I heard two faint beeps.
I tried holding the middle and the down button. Two beeps and the screen flashed repeatedly.
I hooked it up to iTunes and it was recognized. I tried restoring the software. I renamed the iPod just to see if the connection was really there. After I reset it I disconnected and repeated the first steps with the same results. I hooked it back up to iTunes and it recognized the iPod and the new name.
I checked for update. No glory.
I'm at the end of my knowledge, any ideas?

the same exact thing happened to me yesterday. I was running and a song would stop halfway through it. I kept pushing play again and it got to be every 10 seconds instead of every minute or so.
I finally let it stay paused and my screen never worked during that time. I went home and plugged it in the computer and it didnt recognize it and the screen stayed blank. I restored the ipod to default settings from the computer and during the whole time the screen never came back on, just beeping, not even a flashing screen.
I was able to add songs back on it from my computer but it still doesnt work or anything, connected or disconnected from the computer. I left it alone all night plugged into the computer and it still wont work at all. It just beeps. Ive tried the resettings and all. PLEASE HELP!!
Thank you

new iPhone 5c keeps beeping and the screen just stays black?

Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

T60 exhibiting 1 long and 2 short beep and black screen

Hello all,
i own a thinkpad t60 with ATI radeon x1300 graphics card. I read through your complete "T61p exhibiting 1 long and 2 short beep and black screen" thread and I have the same beep problem with my t60. Let me briefly explain you how the beeps occur in my system:
My t60 had this problem after I initally formatted my system and this 1 long and 2 short beeps used started occuring. But the strangest fact is that after those beeps and blank screen, the power light in the indicator light group is on along with battery and ac power lights. But then when I repeatedly switched on and off the system, the sequence of beeps dont occur all the time. Then I completely switched off the system and when I booted the next times I started pressing the ESC keys after pressing the on button. Most of the times ( 8 out of 10 times), the first 4 times it produced the same beep codes but after the 5th time, the system turns on. All those 5 times, I kept on pressing the ESC key once I powered on the system.
Also, every time I'd a chance I did run the pc doctor to find any pro blem with the board or video card, but every time it turned out to be fine. So now,every time I turn my system off or use a stanby/hibernate whichever turns the screeen off, on immediate reboot it comes out blank but with the power indicator light on.
Here by I also list any changes that I'd made:
1. I reformatted the system and only then this started to occur.
2. after reformatting lsat time, I forgot to change the boot sequence but now I;d fixed that by pressing F9 under startup in bios.
3. I'd also once replaced my RAM with a different one (have 4gb now, but I suppose t60 can support a max of 3gb). WIll this be a problem?
4. And in the recent times due to the ati3duag.dll BSOD has occured. Any idea what this error might be due to?
5. Due to all these uncertainities, I havent updated tot he latest ATI driver which is 8.593 * and I still have the 8.293* . Will updating to the new one be a problem?
I appreciate any help or guidance you can give me in this matter and I badly need to fix it for my projects.
Thanks
Vishak

I think your best way of diagnosing this is to remove the new ram and install only one chip, if the problem persists, try the other. If the problem persists, then I'd try booting from a Linux LiveCD (any will do but I'd recommend ubuntu.com). boot with the option to not change anything on your PC. If you get this same problem when booting linux, then you know it's a hardware problem, in which case I'd remove as much hardware as possible, drives, cards, etc... if it still persists, then you most likely have a bad system board. In this unfortunate event your best option would be a used one. A new one would cost more then the laptop is worth, but used T60 boards are pretty reasonable, I just found one for another member and could probably help you find one to if necessary, but lets hope it's just a ram chip. And by the way, your system is limited to 3GB, but in the chipset, and in your 32bit OS they came installed with. You can install 4GB, but it won't be able to use it all.

Powerbook beeps and flashes on startup the NOTHING!

Hi there,
My powerbook froze last night and I turned it off by holding down the power button. I then left it for a few minutes and turned it back on. The machine made the usual noise when once i pressed the power but then made a noise of 3 beeps and the white light at the front flashed about 4 times.
The display is black and nothing else happens. Just a continuing flashin light on the front.
Can anyone help?

Also, if swapping the two RAM sticks does let you boot, check "About this Mac" on the Apple menu afterwards to make sure your Mac is still seeing all the RAM-- if it's only seeing half, you might have the dreaded lower memory slot failure.

My MacBook Pro Beeps and the Screen Goes Crazy

I upgraded my RAM from 4GB to 8GB a couple months ago. Ever since then, my MacBook would freeze and the screen would get all weird and distorted, and then it continues to sound off three longish beeps. I can't do anything except hold down the power button until it shuts off. This only happens every couple of days. I'm thinking it's a RAM issue and I've already tried reseating the RAM, but it keeps happening. Anyone have any solutions? Maybe the RAM is faulty?

Wow. Every 5th thread is someone who has a problem with their screen going black since 10.6.8

Beep and blank Screen after 10.4.11 Update

I have a PowerBook G4 that I use for odds and ends; it is not my primary computer. Last night I did some work on it, and when I quit, software update came on with a security update, 10.4.11, and some others (Safari as I recall). I told it to go ahead, and things seemed fine through the entire process until the reboot at the end. When the computer came back on, it gave three beeps and stayed with a black screen and the power light at the base of the screen blinking. This evening I put my 10.4 DVD in the drive and tried to boot from that. No luck (i.e., same behavior), and now the DVD is stuck in the drive.
Ideas? The computer was working fine prior to this.

Hi Charles, and welcome to the forum!
Your HD got hosed pretty bad, you may even have to pull it to get to boot off the Install Disk.
Have you done a PRAM reset...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
Try to restart your computer, hold down Command-s and type in the following:
/sbin/fsck -fy
Enter
(Space before -fy important)
If you can boot from the Install Disk eventually...
"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.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD...

Dimming and Flashing Screen

The screen of my iBook G4 (1GHZ) is going from light to dim and flashing a lot. What's wrong? Further, if that's the case, can i get it fixed? If my screen goes bad, the whole thing is at least temporarily useless, so I need to get this figured out.

Update: I have updated the OS to 10.6.7 It's a 2.4Ghz Core duo with 4 Gig RAM.
I tried to update my profile but the procedure seems to be different now???

3 beeps and blank screen on KT6 Delta

Occasionally on startup, I get 3 identical beeps and no video on screen. By just pressing the vga card on the agp slot slightly and restarting, it seems to solve the problem (although I think that maybe the vga card is not the problem). Any ideas?

Dude, that's really a poor psu!
You need a psu with more than 25A/3.3V, 35A/5V, 18A/12V, 180W combined power.

1 long beep the 2 short beeps, and no screen dv9000

hi everyone,
Ive got a dv9000 (its a dv9341eu)
AMD 1.8ghz turion64 x2
When i turn it on it beeps 3 times and the screen does not come on, i can hear the fan turning if that helps.
I want to know if its the graphics card or the motherboard or CPU. ( i dont want to buy a new motherboard in case it turns out to be the gpu)
Is there any definate way of finding out?
thanks, sam @ scunthorpe computer repairs

probably the graphics card, but will need the P/N to be sure

RD230 - Won't boot after BIOS - Server beeps and the screen is blank.

Hi there,
I have a problem with one of our RD230.
The Server seems to be ok. No Errors in BIOS. SATA Raid configured and so on...
But the server simply won't boot from CD or USB Drive or HDD.
After the whole BIOS Process the server gives a permanent beep and the Digitron shows code 00. The Screen just shows a blinking cursor top left.
Nothing happens.
Removing the RAID, CD Drive, Network Card doesn't help.
Does anyone have an Idea whats going on with this server?
Also setting the J45 Jumper doesn't help.
Thanks in Advance,
Cheers,
Chris

2 Things that can typically fix this issue. Please reseat the memory and if that does not fix it, please reseat the processor.
Questions
1 - Has this system worked prior to this or is this an out-of-box failure?
2 - If it has worked in the past, what changes were made just prior to this issue? (ie Windows Update, BIOS Update, firmware update, driver(s) update, etc.)

We have iPhone 4 and I plugged phone into after market hardwired plug in car (that we have used successfully for two years). The screen has gone black and wont turn on. Phone was charged. I have tried force quit- home screen and top button. iTunes is not recognizing phone when I plug into computer. help pls

FIRST charge with an Apple charger for at least 15 minutes. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. Hold for up to 30 seconds. If nothing happens the phone hardware has failed.

Imac locks up and flashing screen

Hi All,
I keep getting a lock up and a flashing screen on my imac running lastest mountain lion. Here is a link to a video i took of the flashing screen. The machine locks up and requires a hard reboot. I tried removing flash and reinstalling prior to this event, but it continues. Only locks up after at least 20 minutes use.
http://youtu.be/btlqhNvL_90
Any ideas?
Paul

I also reset PRAM and SMC, but it didn't fix it. More so now it just seems to lock up while using Safari. It freezes for a few minutes and then the computer reboots itself.
Here is the diagnostic codes if it means anything to anyone.

my ipad has said to me that it hasn't been backed up in two weeks and it will do it automatically after I plug it in and connect it to wifi it would do it!

Please try to make a "hard reboot" by holding down the home button + the power button (at the same time) for a few secons until it start rebooting.

Annoying spontaneous beeps and minimizing screens

My computer spontaneous beeps and minimizes open windows almost every minute. Has anyone else experienced this and found a remedy?

Hi Amstellt,
Please share us more details for better analyzation:
1. Have you made any changes before this issue?
2. Do you mean that the computer automatically beeps and minimize open windows?
3. What program does this issue minimize windows happen in?
This situation also can be caused by a software or service conflict, I suggest to perform a clean boot to solve this, a clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts
that occur when you install a program or an update.
For more information about clean boot, please refer to the following article.
