WRT54G v6 blinking power light after update

After performing an update for my WRT54G v6 to version 1.02.6 the power LED blinks fast. DMZ is off. All the others act normally, on when connected. I have looked in the fourms here, and online, and tried many things, all failed.
Pinging the router works. I always get a response.
I set my network adapter to 10mb half and static IP of 192.168.1.10 with gateway 192.168.1.1
Useing Linksys TFTP always fail with a "No response from server" (fyi: could NOT find that program here, linksys seemed to reorganized there FTP and left out tftp.exe out)
Using Windows "tftp -i 192.168.1.1 code.bin" always returns a "Timeout" within secounds.
Using OSX "tftp 192.168.1.1 \ binary \ rexmt 1 \ timeout 60 \ trace \ put /Users/djbloo/code.bin" always returns "sent WRQ <file=/User/djbloo/code.bin, mode=octet>"
Using DrayTek Firmware Upgrader on Windows closes after Sent button pressed
Using DrayTek Firmware Upgrader on OSX returns "No response"
Is there something im missing? Am I completly screwed?

Try to hard reset your for 1 minute(not 30 seconds) and see if that gives you a steady power light...
Press and hold the reset button for 1 minute...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 1 minute and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
Also make sure that your computer is set to obtain IP automatically, disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer before trying to access the setup page...
If pinging the router works(either with a static ip or automatically) then try to access your router set-up and configure it manually...

WRT54GS v1.0 Firmware needed, Blinking Power Light

No download available and none available via Linksys Live Chat or FTP and having spent the best part of the week trying to find relevant firmware on other forums I decided to come here to get answers to the following questions, hopefully from version 1.0 experienced owners or not.
#1. Can the firmware of version 2.0 and 3.0 be reduced to flash version 1.0?
#2. When diagnosing the blinking power light issue by connecting directly to the router and the network card using "ping -t 192.168.1.xxx" which network address do I use, 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.2 to 2xx?
I get a reply using 192.168.1.1 but I'm not sure that helps when using the TFTP Utility if it's the wrong address on my Laptop to ping?
Anyway I'm stuffed without the right firmware anyway so I need your help with that first please, anyone with UNBRICKING knowledge.
All Help Much Appreciated

Thanks Stephanie67, below is what I found. It appears to be the correct firmware by the description anyway. Do you know if this firmware is loaded the same way via the web interface like the firmware provided by Linksys?

My ipad will not power on after update. I have tried connecting to computer which doesn't recognize it. I have pushed top and circle buttons at same time. It had a battery charge before it died. I tried to stop the upload and am afraid it 'crashed'

My first genteration ipad will not power on after update. I have tried connecting to the authorized computer which won't recognize it - does not acknowledge a device is plugged in. I have pushed top and circle buttons at same time. It had a battery charge before it died. I tried to stop the upload midway and am afraid it 'crashed'

Try putting it into recovery mode.
Connect iPad to your computer via USB while it's turned on.
Open iTunes
Hold the iPad's Sleep/Wake switch (power button on the top of the iPad) down until the "power off" slider appears.
Power off the iPad completely (wait for the progress spinner to disappear).
Hold the Sleep/Wake switch AND the Home button down for a full 10 seconds.
After 10 seconds (the second time you'll see the Apple logo on the screen) release the Sleep/Wake switch while still holding the Home button.
Continue to hold the Home button for another 10 seconds until the USB connection image appears on the iPad's screen, then release the Home button.
A pop-up message will appear on iTunes saying it has detected an iPad in recovery mode, you must restore...
Click on the "Restore" button and the process will begin.

Wireless TV connect blinking power light

I have a Wireless TV Connect. Recently the TV adapter shows a blinking POWER light. I know the LINK light will blink as it searches for the PC adapter. However, this is the power light. The LINK light for the TV adapter is always off. I didn't see any explanation of a blinking power light in the Quick Setup guide. What does a blinking power light for the TV adapter mean?

Read the technical support pages for your router model. There is an article on the blinking power light somewhere. It describes in detail how to load a new firmware to the router using tftp. Try this procedure.
If it fails try to do what I have posted here.

WRT54G v5 w/blinking power light connected to an iMac

Hi-
Most of the solutions I've seen related to flashing power lights on the router involve fixes via firmware upgrades off a pc.
I'm on an iMac os 10.6.7. The WRT54 used to work as a wireless modem a couple of years ago. Tonight, it doesn't. power light blinks. Can't access any webpage interface for the thing. Reset, power down, computer restart, cable modem turn off don't change anything.
Is there anything that can be done other than tossing the linksys? If that is the only option, are there wireless routers more suitable for a Mac?
Thanks
Ralph

I think your router is not responding.
Connect only the computer to the Ethernet port 1 on the router. Check the IP address on your computer. If you are getting a valid IP address like 192.168.1.xxx then try to ping the IP address of the router 192.168.1.1.
If you get auto configuration IP address like 169.254.x.x then assign a static IP address to the computer ( 192.168.1.10 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and gateway 192.168.1.1 ) . Try to ping the IP address of the router and see if you get replies.
If you are not getting replies from the router then I think you will need a new router.

Blinking power light

My Mac Pro 1.1 would not start, the power light would blink continuously. I read a previous post about reseating ram which I did without any change. I read on another forum that the blinking power is due a start up ram check that has found a problem so I removed all the modules (2gb x 8) and restarted with one module at a time and the next to last of course was the one that created the blinking light. It has been going bad for some time in retrospect since the Mac is faster with 12 gb than it was with 16. The module has a lifetime warrenty, will see how good the vendor is. NParr

All OK after replacing the bad RAM. The vendor was very helpful (OWC). np

Blinking power light and display

I have an Officejet 6500 all-in-one printer for several years now. Only recently the power light and the display both start blinking about 24 or so hours after it's been on and the display asks me to turn it off. Never did that before, and I never or rarely turn the printer off.
Could lightning have caused this? I live in Illinois and we get lots of lightning in the spring time. Otherwise the printer/scanner work as expected.

Hey Ancient-Dragon,
It is possible that a power related issue has developed in this Officejet 6500. Lightning might have been the cause, but these printers have a built in surge protector to help against electrical strikes. I would like to help with your issue, but I will need to know exactly which model of the Officejet 6500 you have. HP has released both the Officejet 6500 (E709) series and the Officejet 6500a (E710) series printers. Which of these 2 do you have?
I ask, because one of the main steps for fixing your issue will be to reset this printer back to factory defaults. The steps are different depending on which of these 2 printer series you have.

SERVER PROLIANT DL380 G5 Blinking Power Lights

Was hoping someone could help with an issue that has started happening. We recently updated the UPS backups to our server/phone systems and seem to be having problems when the UPS goes to battery power. The server crashes and the power light on the back of the server starts to blink (which is not an option on what the lights are supposed to do in the manual). The fans also seem to go a bit haywire also (rev up, then off).
when on normal power they are green, but when on battery they blink. I don't think it is a server issue, but possibly the output wave generated by the UPS. Has anyone come across anything similar? The UPS (there are 2/one for each power supply on the server) keeps all the other systems up and running (phones/network ports). The server is the only one that seems to not like the battery power. Load on each UPS is less than 20% when I unplug the UPS to force it to battery power.

Hi:
You may also want to post your question in the HP Business Support Forum -- DL Servers section.

DELL A920 inkjet printer has a blinking power light

Hi!
I have a A920 printer that I think seems to suffer from some hardware problem.
The printer software reports that there's a communication problem.
The printer it self is trying to tell me something with its blinking powerlight, but I can't figure it out.
When I open the printer-lid, it should center the ink-wagon for inspection or ink-refill.
Well... it doesn't.
When I power on the printer (with the lid open), there's a buzz from some small el-motor inside for about 3-4 sec's - then the power-light starts blinking - in regular pattern - aprox 2 blinks pr sec. .
When I turn it off, the ink-wagon moves a small distance to the left, halts and returns to its parkingslot. This indicates that the printers internal controls are working to some extent.
I have tried all the tips I found on Dells WEB - everything from disconnect/reconnect USB to delete printer object and let XP re-find it. And that is kind'a strange - all the time the software reports "connection problems".

Hi Rserio,
Thank you for reaching out to us. The issue can be caused either with printer board or the cartridges. - - You can try removing the cartridges and see if the printer light still blinks. if not then change the cartridges which should ideally fix the issue.
If the issue still persists then please remove the power cable and restart the printer by plugging it back in.
Even after this if the issue persists then looks like an issue with printer board for which printer needs to be replaced. However, this printer is obsolete and you can buy a new printer accordingly.
Hope this information helps. Please reach out if you have any other concerns.

IMac G5 blinking power light / won't turn on

When my iMac G5 is hooked up to power, the power light (front bottom right panel) faintly blinks once every 2 seconds or so. The monitor is not on at all, and the computer does not appear to be running (no sounds).
All other devices hooked up to that particular power outlet are working fine, and pressing the power button does nothing. Holding the power button down halts the blinking, but when I let go the blinking resumes.
I have also tried removing all devices attached to the computer, including the keyboard and mouse.
This machine was working fine on friday, but when I came back into work today (monday) the machine was 'off' and nothing I do seems to cause any change.
Very confused, any help appreciated.

It may be that your Power Supply Unit is failing, look at the suggestions here, try them and if nothing works, call Apple. If you have a Rev A, you may qualify for the Repair Extension Program. (sorry to assume you didn't know about sleep, sometimes very basic things are not known to posters).
Please let me know how you make out,
Miriam

IPhone will not power on after update

Dear Apple,
I currently have your iPhone 3GS which I received approximately 18 months ago. However, after updating the OS Software the device has decided to not power on. After speaking to your Apple Support Centre, they booked me an appointment at Apple Bentall Centre, Kingston, London, UK.
My device was looked at by a representative named Vanessa Baldwin who claimed that the device would not power on and that seeing as it is out of warranty, the only option I had was to replace it costing £139. I then asked to speak to the Store Manager Leigh Baigent, who reiterated Vanessa Baldwin's suggestion. He also added that the device would not power on due to a fault on the motherboard and had nothing to do with the battery. I proceeded to explain to your staff that I would expect a £400 iPhone to last longer than 18 months and that under The Sale of Goods Act 1979, a retailer is responsible for the items they sell for up to six years in England and Wales regardless of warranty. Your staff expressed a blank look towards me as if I spoke a foreign language and dismissed my claims.
I am therefore making formal contact with Apple directly to sort the matter.
Any help would be appreciated, please do not give me a story about warranty / insurance guidelines
I look forward to your response.

I would probably advise you to e-mail, or make contact by phone, rather than making a complaint on the Support communities page.
I hope your lucky in succesfully getting a new iPhone however

23" Display with MacBook Pro -- Blinking Power Light

All my equipment is new -- just bought it and hooked it up yesterday.
The 23" Cinema HD display is my main monitor, with the laptop's display extending the desktop from the 23" cinema display. The front-panel power light on the cinema display is blinking short-short-short, which supposedly means it's not getting a proper video source/resolution.
Display System Preferences indicate a 1920x1200 resolution on the main display and a 1440x900 on the laptop display.
I'd like to get the power light to stop blinking, but can't figure out how. Any ideas?

Yes, all three cables are plugged in. The DVI connection, the USB, and the Firewire. - Interestingly, I was moving the machine around and unplugged the monitor power cable while the computer was asleep - then when I plugged the power cord back in, the computer woke up - monitor is now recognized and I have the options group. Go figure. So I suppose everyone can try this and see if it works. No more flashing lights.

A15-S127 Laptop Blinking Power Light

I just purchased a new power supply for the Toshiba A15-S127 (old) laptop I have. It was working fine yesterday, it booted up and I was able to do some disk clean-up from 'add/remove programs' to remove several unused programs.
But today, I plugged it back in and the Amber Power LED just blinks and it will not power up.
It blinks 4 short, 1 long, 2 short before repeating.
I have removed the battery several times in-case it needed to be cleared.
I was unsuccessful in finding anything in the help pages for this BIOS message. Does anyone know or can you point me to a link that tells me what this means and why it will not turn on?
Thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have had it unplugged since yesterday, and the amber power light continues to blink.
But, its changed to 4 short, 1 long, 3 short blinks.
Anyone know where I can find the BIOS light blinking error messages on this laptop?
