Wont connect or turn on, solid orange light

A month after i bought my iPod, it died shortly after an all night charge.
ever since, it wont turn on, wont connect, wont recognize, and I can't seem to be able to do anything about it. I've tried it on 4 different USB ports that work with other things, I've tried the 5 R's, and I'm getting sick of messing around with it. I've had a video iPod for almost 2 years now, and it hasnt givin me any problems like this.
I guess it's what I get for buying a Product(Red) iPod.

i think you need to let a local tech check your laptop, it could be the motherboard that having some issues...

The warmup stage does not seem to go all the way through its normal startup noises and the printer does not get hot.
Thanks for any help.

Solid orange light on my time capsule

I have a constant/solid orange light on my time capsule. My iMac cannot see the disk and therefore the backup has failed for weeks. It's not making any strange noises.
I've turned it off for a few days and it's the same.
Has the disk failed?

Unfortunately, a solid amber light is usually an indication that the hard drive has failed. However, it can sometimes be an indication of a failure in the power supply section of the Time Capsule.
In either case, the Time Capsule will need to be replaced....if in warranty or covered by AppleCare....or it might be possible to have the Time Capsule repaired.
Your best bet is to take the Time Capsule to an Apple Store....if you have one in your area....to let them take a look and discuss your options with you.....or, contact Apple Support directly.

My iPod classic wont connect to the computer. The light comes on but it doesn't even come up with 'connected' screen. Have tried everything on apple troubleshoot but hasn't helped. Still works in Logitech iPod player. Any suggestions please???

My iPod classic wont connect to the computer. The light comes on but it doesn't even come up with 'connected' screen on the ipod. Have tried different computers, usb cables and ports, as well as restarting computer, updating itunes, and rebooting ipod. Still works in Logitech iPod player, however it has just wiped itself of all songs so at the moment I'm stuck with a useless iPod. Any suggestions please???

If you happen to have a USB docking cable that is new (or close to being new), try using that one. If the cause is the dock connector on the iPod becoming worn, if you try it with a cable that is not worn, it's possible that it may connect for data.
I believe the dock connector is internally part of the logic board, so it may not be economical to have a repair shop (including Apple Store Genius Bar) do the repair. You'll need to ask for pricing.

If it's the most recent iPod classic, it appears to be quite difficult to pry open. I have an older 4th gen (and 3rd gen) "classic" iPod, and those are fairly eash to pry open, using the plastic tools.

Phone doesn't turn on, solid red light, requires send back BUT I have a request.

I've essentially figured out that my Z10 needs to be returned for some sort of warranty / repair, however I'm really hoping that we can request that the data on the phone be saved rather than it just be lost forever. Is this possible? There are many important notes that haven't been backed up.
Symptoms: Phone doesn't turn on, red light comes on solid for a few minutes and then turns off. Connecting it to a computer doesn't result in anything (no computer connection, no change in phone).
I am with Bell, and I even live in Kitchener (I could personally drop into BB to sort this out) I wanted to check here as a last resort before sending it back.
Thanks!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I used these steps from Geek Squad and it worked for me.
Restore BB10
When a BlackBerry 10 device is only flashing the red light and refusing to boot up, this indicates that the device’s operating system has become corrupted. The flashing light may follow the pattern of 1, 2 or 3 short blips, with a longer pause between the sets.
In order to fix this, you need to re-install the operating system on the device, which will then set the device back to its original factory state.
Please note: this process will completely wipe your device, so please make sure you have a backup of your personal information available to restore before going through this process.
Download and install the latest version of BlackBerry Link for your computer.
Open BlackBerry Link software.
Plug in the BlackBerry device using your USB cable.
At the bottom left of the program, find the device you're having issues with and select it by clicking on it.
The BlackBerry Link application will then ask to either reconnect or reload the device software. Choose Reload.
Confirm the reload when prompted to do so, which will wipe clean any data previously on the handset.
Allow the reload to complete, which can take some time. Whilst this is underway, the device will have a solid green light. This process of downloading and reinstalling the device can take an hour or more, depending on the speed of your internet connection, soplease don't disconnect the BlackBerry until the process has finished.
Once the restore is complete, simply set up your device again, or restore it from a previous backup stored on your machine. However, if you want to restore a previous backup, remember to sign in to your BlackBerry ID on the device first! If you're not sure how to do this, we have a full guide available.
The good news is, this process is almost identical on both PC and Apple Mac. Simply follow the same process as above. Finally, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us.

Have connection to base station, solid green light but no internet ??

Hello,
At my wits end. I have a a brand new Airport Express, a brand new Dell laptop running Vista Home Premium and an older model Westell Wirespeed DSL modem. Although I have a solid green light on the Airport base station, and have no problem communicating and printing wirelessly, I cannot connect to the internet. All indications from the Airport Utility show a normal connection with a signal strength of 'very good' to 'excellent'. I configured Airport to DHCP, which is what my ISP (Verizon) provides. Sometimes upon startup, my computer first tries to connect to an 'unknown network' and I have to manually switch to the Airport network I created. I've been through this at least half a dozen times, resetting the modem, the base station and re-setting up the network but no luck getting on the internet so far. What am I missing here? Thank you!

If anyone happens to stumble on this, I solved the issue on my own. The TC/IPv4 protocol on the PC's wireless network properties was set to a static IP address. Once I reset it to dynamic, it worked fine.

Solid Orange Light When Charging, Yet Ipod Broken?

So, at some point in the past I walked into the ocean with my IPod shuffle. Yes, stupid move, I know. Anyway, it still worked for a little while afterward, and I got a new IPod, which got stolen. So, recently I've been trying to get this IPod Shuffle 2nd Gen to work. I've tried browsing topics to no avail so decided to post.
Here's the symptoms:
1. IPod cannot be recognized by either my computer(Windows XP) OR ITunes.
2. My IPod will not light up at all unless plugged into my computer, in which case it turns orange as if charging.
3. I've tried the 5 fixes. None of them worked, and the IPod will not play music.(Though I'm not sure it still HAS music.)
Any ideas?

On a 1G Shuffle the fix was to disassemble, rinse with distilled water and CRC, carefully dry, re-assemble, and hope for the best. I'm sure the same would be true for the 2G, but I've never taken that one apart; I'm sure the same folks provide the guidance on how to do that, however.
OTOH, a brand-new one is $49 ...... and it even comes with printed warnings against walking it into the ocean.

Macbook Pro(Early 2011) not turning on; Flashing Orange Light on Charger

So yesterday, I did a teardown of my Macbook pro (early 2011) in an effort to clean the keyboard because some keys weren't working. I used rubbing alcohol and As I was putting the keyboard and trackpad connectors back in, I heard the computer making a startup/shut down noise so; I realized I neglected to unplug the battery - out of fear of shock and impulse, I unplugged the battery quickly. The computer shut off and, ever since then, my computer won't turn on. When I plug in the charger; it initially gives me a very faint green light, and when I hold on the power button it changes into a very dim orange blinking light.
I've tried:
1) Resetting the SMC (No such luck)
2) Unplugging the battery; letting the charger charge the motherboard overnight (No luck)
I'd really appreciate some fresh ideas; just to reitterate, it only stopped working the second I impulsively unplugged the charger. So, can a battery die from something like that? Short circuit? Any advice would be really appreciated as I'm in the middle of finals week and really need it.

My only issue with that is that there weren't any hardware issues before i decided to open it up. I know the apple people will be very eager to charge me for something in not convinced is a hardware issue. I just get the feeling i screwed something up while I was putting it back together. I'll post a picture of my logic board soon to see if there's something obvious I'm missing

SBH20 doesn't turn on - solid purple light on charge

Hi,
I've had my sbh20 for about 6 weeks now, and up until now I've been quite pleased with it. However, it's stopped working and I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this particular fault?
Basically, it doesn't turn on. Flicking the switch to on does nothing, no light, no noise /beep through headphones. Thinking it was possibly out of charge I plugged my usb charger in. The light came on, solid purple! Strange I thought. I left it on charge overnight and in the morning the light was still solid purple. When switching it 'on', the light goes out completely, and still no function.
I have tried the reset as advised in the manual. The light briefly goes from purple, to Blue and then back to people. End effect, no change.
Is this a repair jobbie?
Thanks.

Why wont my razor turn on ? solid white light stays on .

why wont droid razor turn on ? white light stays on.

I had a similar problem. The phone wouldn't turn on at all, though when I pressed the power button a white light would come on briefly, then one time it came on and stayed on, but that was all. I was told (by Verizon) that once the phone discharges all the way to zero it can be difficult to start up again even if it is plugged into the charger. Plugging it into the charger in the house didn't work, but I tried the car charger and it started charging right away. My theory is that the wall outlet charger does not have enough "oomph" to kick start the phone if it is totally depleted, but the car charger must have more (what? volts/amps I'm no electrical expert) whatever it needs to bring it back and start it charging. Once it got going (at 20%) I brought it back into the house and it charged OK. Wish I would've though of this when the other phone did this a few weeks ago! What I'm thinking is that the outlet charger needs to be redesigned to fix this problem. There is a very good chance that, no matter how good you are about keeping your phone charged, there will be that one time that it discharges down zero and then . . .

Aironet AIR-AP350 Orange lights

Hi,
After powering up my AIR-AP350, all three lights - Ethernet Activity, Association Status and Radio Activity show solid orange lights. I cannot ping the unit and attempting a serial connection has proved fruitless.
Edit: After leaving the unit overnight, the lights are now (top to bottom) red, green and orange, all solid. I am still unable to establish a serial connection.
I fully expect the unit is ready for the big wireless cloud in the sky. Can anyone advise as to whether this problem truly is terminal or can it be fixed?
Thanks in advance
Matt

Hey Matt,
Hopefully the 350 isn't ready for the "big wireless cloud in the sky" but you never know. What do you get when you power down and then power up while connected (via serial cable) to the AP?
The 3 Orange (Amber) LEDs indicate the following;
Ethernet Status Radio
Amber Amber Amber = Boot failure.

Reloading the Access Point Image
If your access point has a firmware failure, you must reload the complete access point image file using the Web browser interface or the CLI. You can use the browser interface if the access point firmware is still fully operational and you want to upgrade the firmware image. However, you must use the CLI on the serial console port when the access point has a corrupt firmware image.

Let us know, it may be time to retire the old guy.
Hope this helps!

Orange light sometimes coming on in the base

Hi
I have a 6 core Mac Pro configuration. Every so often it turns on an orange light on its base. what does this orange light mean? Is it something to be concerned about?

Try these steps:
Reset the SMC and NVRAM:
