Ultrabase Suddenly Non-Functioning; Strange Lighted Dock Indicators
X200 w/ Ultrabase on Win7. Worked fine this morning. Disconnected x200 from docking station properly this morning and hibernated, as usual. Returned, dropped x200 into docking station:
Not Working:
- external mouse
- external keyboard
- docking station speakers
AND - on the left side of the docking station, where the un-dock lever is, all three lights are lit: green arrow left of undock button, green arrow right of undock button and red stop indicator right of undock button.
I've performed a variety of reset functions: restarted, shutdown, unplugged keyboard/mouse [they work when plugged directly into x200] - all to no avail.
I've just seen that a BIOS upate came out in December 2010, so I'm off to upgrade that, but really can't see that it would cause this freakout. HELP!
UPDATE 1:
Updated BIOS [3.17] - no change.
Further details:
-apparently the docking station is simply not supplying power to the ports since
--no lights on keyboard
--cd drive not functioning
UPDATE 2:
Apparently it is a power issue. Passthrough ports [monitor] work fine, but those requiring power do not. I removed the battery from the X200 then docked to ultrabase - booted up and all peripherals work. What causes such a problem?
Solved!
Go to Solution.
After booting up w/o the battery in the X200, I shutdown. Then slipped the battery back into the X200, started up and all is golden. Crazy! Hopefully this does not become a regular occurence - my hair may go white even faster than it is already!

I'm trying out Leopard 10.5.2 on a G4 17" iMac, 1.25 GHz. When it goes to sleep, the sleep light doesn't come on. Thus there's no way to tell whether the computer is off or asleep. This was a problem starting with 10.5.0. The sleep light worked correctly in Tiger. Is there a fix for this?
I have found that the computer goes to sleep when it is logged into the admin account, but it won't when it is logged into a standard or managed account. It also goes to sleep when it is booted from an external HD that also runs Leopard 10.5.2. I just can't figure out why it won't go to sleep in the non-admin accounts. (iMac G4 1.25 GHz, OS X 10.5.2)
Any ideas out there? -
Command Key Suddenly Non-functional
I'm not sure how it happened, but all of a sudden I'm no longer able to use my Command key. When trying to enter in shortcuts like Command+T in Safari, all that the computer recognizes is the "T" keystroke.
Is there anything I can do to fix this, or will I have to take it in to an Apple Store? Thanks!!Well unfortunately I do not know what "whatnot" means so I will ask, have you tried booting the computer into another User Account to determine whether the problem is with your normal account or with the System software other wise?

HDMI suddenly non functional on S531
Hi I'm using a S531 for presentation work. It worked excellent until a few days ago. PC and Projector don't recognise each other anymore.
The beamer and cables are fine as another laptop does work. I know how to switch to the beamer (Fn+F7) and stuff like that. As said I'm using this machine for almost a year without problems for this kind of work.
The only thing I know is that I've run some Lenovo suggested updates about a week ago. That's about the same time the problems started.
Is there any way to switch on/off HDMI support that might interfere? Does anyone have some ideas what other issues might cause this problem?
Any suggestion is very much appreciated and welcome.
Running Windows 7 Professional
Regards,
Anthony.Hi,
I've booted the pc from a Linux based USB and checked the HDMI port.
Under Linux it worked well. So after that I did a roll back on Windows
to a day before I started experiencing the issue. Actually that didn't
solve the problem right away. I forgot about the issue for a few days
and connected my pc to the beamer without thought. Suddenly it worked
again.
My best advise is to boot a Linux distro and check your HDMI port for
hardware failure. I would not suggest upgrading any drivers actually
because for me that's when the problems started.
Good luck! -
Whether in open or private browsing, Firefox suddenly becomes non-functioning, as noted. (Seemingly) closing the browser to run CCleaner, the popup tells me I must shut down Firefox to clear the cache. Only remedy: restart the computer to reset.
Avast is my antivirus; I also run Ad-Aware, Spybot, Spyware Blaster and -- manually -- Malwarebytes. The latest quirk: running CCleaner's registry scan, "unassociated" .tif/.msn OpenFilesWith errors issues appear daily.
I've been in the middle of making an online reservation or payment, only to find the print confirmation link unresponsive; ditto for right-click, which produces an empty dropdown window (leaving me with only a select text, Ctrl C option to paste to an email.
Help!Hi Kossa,
You can also check if the issue occurs in
Clean Boot. If the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, you can continue to narrow down which entry is causing the issue.
Besides, uninstall it and re-download
a fresh copy of FireFox to check the result. If the issue still exists, create a new user account to see if it occurs.
If the issue persists, you can contact Mozilla Support directly and use Internet Explorer (IE) during the time.

K8N Neo4 (MS-7125) USB, Mic, S/P Out, and LAN ports all non-functional
I'm hoping someone can give me a hand with this. I'm not a novice when it comes to motherboards but this particular board is making me feel like it.
Ok, I've got a K8N-Neo4 MS-7125 model. Athlon64 3700. I have all the current drivers and ran the liveupdate to make sure.
The LAN port will light up, but the Device manager will not recognize it, nor will the LAN utility.
The board has 4 USB ports. The top two are non-functional, the bottom two work.
The S\P OUT port has never worked, nor do I know how to engage it or find it on the device manager
The microphone....this one is fun. Its like the microphone is stuck in a feedback loop. Whatever comes through my speakers, is heard on the other end by other users. I am not heard at all, although I can hear myself through my OWN speakers. Even with the mic unplugged, people still can hear my speakers. Imagine having your speakers plugged into the mic jack. The only way to kill the feedback is to actually go into the sound manager and mute the whole mic system.
I can live without the LAN and USB ports, but it would be a HUGE help if someone can help me with the mic and S\P ports!!
Thanks!!!Ok, I'll do my best to remember everything
Athlon64 3700 939socket
XP Pro Service pack 2
Rosewill case 400watts

GEForce 7300 256DDR (PCI Express)
120GB Seagate 7200 RPM Harddrive (IDE) Partioned two drives
1x512DDR ram PC3200 400mhz
As for the flavor of the NEO4 the only other numbers I know of, is on the board it says N1996 right below the processor. Is that what you need? Its a PCB V.3 board nvidia Nforce4.
Speakers are standard cyber acoustic
Logitech Mic/Headset combo
This particular case allows for hookups for headphones and mic in the front. The case has jumpers in the back that allow you to gain access from the front (but you probably already know that). I've always used the front MIC/Headset jack, and I have a splitter in the back for the headphones and that jumper. In trying to resolve the issue, I tried every jack with the microphone (even the ones that I know are labeled as speakers). I do get my own voice through MY speakers on the front jack AND the mobo jack.
Hopefully I got you enough info!
Thanks in advance!!! -
Purchased a KT3 Ultra2 after reading good reviews. Replaced old Chaintech CT-7AJA motherboard. Fitted new 512MB DDR memory module (PC2100). Reconnected all devices etc. Switched on power. Front panel power LED came on. Hard drive LED came on for 20 seconds. Then nothing. No screen activity at all. No P.O.S.T. messages on screen. Put a floppy disk in the floppy drive. Floppy light did not come on after a reboot. Tried booting without memory module and beeping sounds heard. Replaced memory, still non functioning system. Put old mother board back. Every thing works fine. Took board back to PC World who replaced it. Tried again. Still non functioning. The problem is not my processor as it still works fine on old motherboard. (Removed sticky label from your socket A socket and used special cooling compound on heatsink).Problem is not my devices as they work fine on the old board.
Has anyone else ever had this problem?
It doesn't seem logical.
Any suggestions appreciated.Quote

To Geoffery, What are your PSU current ratings for 3.3V and 5V rails? Are you positive you have your heatsink around the right way? Machined slot must go over the raised portion of the CPU socket. -
Hi, my tx2z died on me this morning around 5 am when I tried to turn it on to finish up some engineering homework. The computer power on, fan on for a bit, but it got stuck on the black screen with blinking caplock and numlock light.
I don't know if this have anything to do with it, but now I think about it, it might be related. Last time I use it, it was the same day, or night, around midnight. I was working on some physics homework on the laptop with my friend. So I finished my part, and went over to help her. So when I tried to show her how to solve the equation on the calculator, we got a static electirc shock, and I didn't even touch her. Ok, so we laughed about it since we are doing stuffs dealing with electric fields. When we finally finished at 1, I went back to my dorm with the laptop, put it down to let it charge. Then when I try to do my engineering homework soon after with the computer, I was shocked again. This time by touching the comptuer.
So I believe my Tx2z died because of "CPU non-functional" according to the LED Blink Sequence table. The LED only blinked once in each cycle. Is that correct?
So if this is the case, what are my options? I doubt I am still under warrenty, since I just got the laptop before going to college 2 years ago. CPU non-funcational means that the CPU is dead and need replacement, right? And if I am correct, it is usually not possible to install new cpu in laptop. So I need to send it in and let them replace it? Will it be cheaper with I just go buy a new computer?
I am still hoping that it is not the CPU problem, since I really like this laptop, it is really not that old, and I have been taking care of it. It does overheat very easily though, sometime burn my hand when I am doing some 3D modeling / rendering. But even on power saving mode, when I am just checking email, it still overheated.
Any replies, helps, suggestions will be appreciated, thanks.yup, I have pretty much given up by now. I started to make a list of hardwares that I want to buy to assemble a new computer. Tablet is good, but the fact that it can't last me through college, that's just sad. So $400 to repair, and the new computer that I am planning to put together cost around $500. I think I will go with the new one with way more processing power, way better cooling, and most important, the ability to upgrade / replace broken parts without having to pay a fortune.
LIST
Case, power supply, motherboard w/ ATI HD4250, AMD Phenom ii x4 3.4 Ghz, 4 GB DDR3, 1 TB HDD, DVD Burner, Card Reader...
So as for the tablet, I am starting to harvest parts from it. So far, ripped the hard drive out to recover some data and to use as an portable hard drive. Will probably take the RAM out in a day or two. The ony big disappoinment about not fixing the tablet is that the touchscreen is pretty much wasted, since I have no clue how to utilize that. Wish I have taken Computer or Electrical Engineering. -
Helvetica regular font CS6 Yosemite non-functional
I have two Mac computers, both using Yosemite and CS6 suites and the Helvetica regular font on both of them is non-functional at this time. The font will work on other applications like Word, and even show up under the menus on CS6 programs, but when you select Helvetica regular you get an error. If an old file uses the Helvetica regular font, the file won't print or even save until the font is replaced with another font. The font checks out as ok in the font book program. The other Helvetica variations like Light, bold, etc. work fine. As far as i have been able to discover, all of the other fonts work as well. Both computers work identically, so I can't imagine the font file is corrupted...
Any suggestions?kitcmac,
Is it a free Helvetica font or something, or is it the genuine one from Linotype?
In the former case, you may be out of luck: Illy is particularly particular about the quality of fonts, because she can work with them at a deeper/higher level than most, so you can easily have a font that works in all other applications, but Illy refuses to recognize it as a font.
Some failing fonts discussed in earlier threads have turned out to have rather basic flaws, such as redundant, superfluous, or (if I remember rightly) even stray points, or other clear errors in the paths that they consist of.
If it is a free one, you may need to get the real thing or look for similar fonts that Illy is willing to work with. -
Is non-functioning key repair possible and practical?
I have a 2008 MacAir. The shift key on the right side and the return key either don't work or don't work reliably. Is it possible and practical to have them fixed?
The device does report a IP address, and the 'Internet' indicator lights solid, but it appears that it cannot communicate out. The Power LED blinks three times, repeated, indicating that it cannot connect to the Vonage server.
Linksys EasyLink Advisor does not detect it being on the network.
I also contacted Vonage Support, and they declared that my device is 'non-functional', so I am proceeding with a new device.
Thanks for your help! -
S10 HW 1/06, bge driver non-functional
Hello,
I'm having a problem with a new installation of Solaris 10 (HW 1/06) on a Fujitsu Siemens ESPRIMO P5905. It's a fairly new model x64 box. The system installed fine, but the on-board Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet is non-functional. I've tried both the Broadcom bcme driver and the Sun bge driver, plus I've installed the latest patches from Sunsolve (118844-30, 122028-02) with no luck. The system finds the card and appears to receive packets but not send.
Is there any way I can report a bug without a Support Contract from Sun?
The card is an on-board PCI-E chip and works fine under Linux 2.6 or Windows Server 2003. The PCI ID is pci11e4,1677 which is listed in /etc/driver_aliases for the latest (patched) bge driver.
One other detail are the following messages from the bge driver on load:
ddi_intr_get_supported_types(): Returned 3
Using legacy interrupt type
bge_add_legacy_intrs
Thanks in advance for any help...

I have a PowerBook G4 with a non-functioning monitor. It used to work with an external monitor, but I reinstalled the OS, which cleared the display preferences and now when I restart it won't detect the external monitor. This means I can't use the computer anymore. How do I fix? I tried using the Command+F2 keyboard shortcut, but it doesnt' work. It's possible that since I reinstalled the OS, it still needs to be set up, so there's only a welcome screen (but since I can't see it I'm not sure).
There is no limit to the number of times you can re-install Office on the same computer.
You can activate by telephone:

I am having serious issues trying to alter my old iCloud account with an old non-functioning email to my new apple id with a new email address. The message keeps coming up on all my apple products with my old email (which is not available anymore).
I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option? -
DVD Drive Non-Function Mac Mini 3,1 (late 2009)

But when you insert a disc there is no response, it does not see to attempt to read it just ejects after about 20-30 seconds.
Any suggestions as to what could be the problem? This issue started sometime after I upgraded the memory, but I cannot be sure that the two things are connected as I very rarely use the DVD drive and the first time I tried to use it was several months later.
Many ThanksOptical drives are pretty short lived in my experience.
Might try a cleaning Disc.

How can I include "None" functionality in a LOV
I am trying to setup the ability to set a value to null in a Popup LOV giving my users the None functionality. This is the SQL I use to ccreate the LOV:
select 'None'VALUE,
Null UID
from dual
UNION ALL
select VALUE,
UID
from LOOKUP_VALUE
when I select the None from the list and try to create the record I receive:
ERR ERR-1023 Unable perform validations
ORA-01722: invalid number
Any idea on how to allow None type functionality?Thanks Sergio;
You are right I am trying to insert a NULL into a number column. When I add a row and do not put a value in this column it is ok because the column is defined to allow nulls. If I put a value in this column and later want to change the value nothing (NULL) is when I have the problem. I could create a None value for all my LOV and use it but I would rather just remove the value from the column and leave it NULL.
