U510 won't turn on, battery light flashes twice when plugged in then nothing

My ideapad u510 is dead. It won't turn on and no power. The only indicator i get is sometimes when inserting the power adapter the battery indicator light will flash twice amber then turn off. Is this an error code of some sort or is the adapter shot and just not charging or powering up the computer?

Hi Citrineaux,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with system not powering on in your Lenovo U510 laptop.
Try to connect with different adapter and check for the issue. Also connect the external monitor to check if the issue is no power or no display. Check if you are able to hear the windows login sound.
As this model has the inbuilt battery, please try to power on by reset button or novo button.
Hope this helps. Do post back if issue persists!
Best regards,
Ashwin.S

NX6325 won't power up - battery light flashes 8 times

I have a 3 year old NX6325 that won't power up any more.
It makes no difference whether the charger is plugged in or not.
When I turn it on the battery light flashes 8 times (amber) and that's it. Nothing else happens.
Does anybody know what this means?
Regards,
Julian.

It is very likely your Northbridge chipset is gone.
The CPU could not make connection to the Northbridge to initiate the any data transfer from the Southbridge ( connected to all your low level devices such as Hard Drive, USB ports, Optical Driver and etc ) to fetch the BIOS content to start the POST ( Power On Self Test ) sequence.
It could also mean your CPU could be bad.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Satellite A500 - Battery light flashes when connected to mains power

Win 7 Satellite A500 PSAM3A-03P00E.
The battery light flashes when connected to mains power (intermittent fault), when I unplug mains and re-connect flashing stops and battery (high capacity) continues to charge.
Also when battery light flashes the key board back lighting stays on when it should blank out and if the back lighting is off and the battery light starts flashing the key board back lighting doesn't turn on, all other functions seem to work fine.
The battery charges and holds charge as it should (when light flashes battery doesn't charge).

Hi
Did you notice this issue from first day of purchase?
Theoretically it could be possible that your battery starts to malfunction
At the other hand an electronic issue might be possible too
However, try this:
Remove ac adaptor and battery. Then press and hold power buttons 30 sec long.
Then insert the battery and connect AC adaptor again does it helps?
By the way: is BIOS up to date? If not, perform an update.

All fixed, the earth contact in the power jack was bent down allowing intermittent contact and limiting current. I bent the contact back up to where it should be and all is good.

T61 Battery light flashes red and green

Hello:
My T61(type 8891) won't start. I'm getting a series of flashes from the battery and power lights:
A/C power connected: power light flashes green alternately and battery light flashes green then red/green.
AC off, battery installed: power light flashes green at the same time as the battery light flashes red/green.
This happened twice before in the past 2 weeks. After about an hour, it booted up - no problem. This time, nothing.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

It started about one month ago - no known cause. The problem happened 3 times since then but each time it booted up by itself after a half hour or so. A new motherboard is going to set me back plenty but f it's needed, I guess I must get it repaired. I'm quite handy at taking the laptop apart. I've replaced the hinge, and bezel.
Maybe the fan is inoperable which may cause it to not boot up. Lately, I've been feeling exhaust air much warmer than before even if it's not being used. I blew the dust off it 3 weeks ago.

My MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal. Anyone have this issue before

MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal. Anyone have this issue before? I've only had this for about 3mos. I called apple support. They tried one thing then said I have to take to the apple store. Unfortunately I don't have one nearby. So before I travel an hour+ away I thought is give it a shot on here. Thank.

Hi S,
Did they have you try an SMC Reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?

Satellite U305 No power, battery light flashes

My U305 no longer powers up. Whether battery plugged in or not, battery light flashes and nothing else happens.

Hallo Michael
There must be some serious issue with power supply electronic. If there is serious problem with power supply the notebook sends hexadecimal code and this code can help technicians to identify the problem.
I am afraid there is nothing you can do about it so please contact nearest authorized service provider and ask for help.

Ipod won't turn on. Just flashes apple logo

I have 64GB Blue iPod Touch Personalized that I purchased in 2013 (not sure what generation that was, whatever was being sold in the April timeframe). I use it at work and it's not connected to WiFi and I don't bring it home very often to be updated. The last time it worked it looked like it wanted to do an update but since I was at work and couldn't connect to WiFi I didn't do anything. The next time I went to use it it had shut itself off, even though it was pluged in to a docking station and now when I try to turn it on it flashes the apple logo and then it slowly fades away. I brought it home and let the battery die hoping that would help, left it charging on my computer for a day and all it does while connected to the computer is flash the apple logo and then fade away. It does not show that my Ipod is connected in Itunes and it doesn't look like it's charging because every now and then when I unplug it it flashes the low battery screen, on occasion but not every time. I've tried the home and sleep button to no avail. Help!

try pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until either the Apple logo or battery symbol appears.. this worked for me when my ipod touch didnt turn on or show the apple symbol.. hope this helps

USB 6251 Active light flashes once on power up, then no activity

Hi,
My USB-6251's active light flashes once when turned on, followed by no further activity by either Active or Ready lights (both are off). The computer shows no recognition of the device. This is when plugged into a confirmed operating wall outlet and attached to a computer that previously recognized and used the device. I opened the device and can confirm that the replaceable fuse is not broken. Any ideas?
Cody

If you have been able to talk to the device before, then I am assuming that something must have gone wrong with the device itself. Best is to call NI's customer services and get the device repaired.

Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

My Iphone died on me yesterday. It still had plenty of charge showing. It now won't turn on and doesn't acknowledge being plugged in to charge. Its simply dead. What can I do?

This is exactly what has happened with me. I feel so ****** off. Apparently this is pretty common. I am in the works to get a content writer job for one of the most widely read technology blogs, and guess what my first article would be on?
