WRT54G2 3 and Internet LED blinking

I have a WRT54G2 v1 router.
When power is attached the 3 and Internet LED are blinking. None of the other LED's are blinking.
No other cables are attached to the router, just the power cable.
Downloaded the latest firmware, set a static IP address on the laptop, attached a ethernet cable from the laptop to the router but cannot ping or get access to the router to update the firmware.
Need suggestions as to what the 3 and Internet LED blinking means and what else I can try.

Here is the latest and this will be done...
I got back online (without the router, just direct connect to ISP with modem). Did a online CHAT at linksys.com/support. I asked the individual if the blinking LEDs were some sort of diagnostic code. He had never or could not find anything that suggested the blinking 3 and internet LEDs meant anything.
So the Individual stepped me though the following (common set of steps with all I will assume.)
No other cables are plugged into any of the router ports.I tried to reset the router. Held the reset button for 30 seconds... no change in which LEDs were blinking (still the 3 port and internet LEDs). Nothing happens with the power led.
Held the reset for 60 seconds... no change.
Held the reset button and plugged in the power supply, waited 30 seconds to release... no change.
Held the reset button and plugged in the power supply, waited 60 seconds to release... no change.
Asked me to plug in another power supply... could not do that, the router only came with one power supply.
Asked me to connect router to a computer, step through process to setup static ip address.. attempt to ping router... nothing (was not getting a link light on the computer network card.)
Finally said I would have to call customer service to get a RMA.
Called customer service, was told to access the linksys.com/support and use the warranty online system to request a RMA.
Went online, got to the RMA request, wanted a Case #. No one gave me one, had to call back and get one, they had me talk with a technician. Support person wanted me to go through the same process that I had gone through the night before.
Explained that went though it already, they had to talk with a supervisor.
After several minutes came back and gave me a case #.
Back to the online RMA request - case # was not valid.
Called customer service back again, after another discussion, was given a new case #. This person did stay online and waited as I went through each step in the online RMA process.
SO long story... unit shipped back to linksys, replacement being shipped to me.
(Mod note: Edited for guideline compliance. Thank you for your understanding.)

  • PSC 1410 shows E and all leds blinking

    Hi there everyone!
    I'm not an english speaker, but I will try to do my best in order to explain myself as clear as possible. This is the fact, I recently acquired a PSC 1410 a year ago. I know the previous owner bought it on 2006 and it was working properly till a month ago when the tricolor cartridge blew up inside the printer, literally. I turned on the printer and it showed me the Error message and all the panels led were blinking. I disconnected it from the wall outlet. So, I disassembled the printer and it was a mess, there was ink all over the interior, including the circuits board. Then I cleaned everything very carefully, and finally I assembled the pieces back together. When I tried to turn on the printer again I received the same Error message and all the leds blinking.
    I've been looking for a service manual on the web or something to solve this, but I was unable to achieve my goal. I can not indulge me and buy another printer, I can not reach HP customer service, and nobody knows how to fix this problem here. Moreover I feel like I have a little kind of affection for this appliance.
    Now my question: is this problem fixable? Can I fix it on my own?
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    All lights blinking on the printer would indicate a fatal error situation. Here are couple of things you can try:
    1) Perform the steps under the section 'All lights are Blinking' in the document below:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c00476152
    2) Follow the steps in the document below to 'Clean the gold-colored contacts in the print carriage' and cartridge contacts.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00094661
    Note: Ensure that the printer is disconnected from power while performing the step.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cisco 1131AG LWAP status led yellow and other leds blinking green

    I have a problem with three AIR-LAP1131AG-E-K9  that joined the controller and the status led turns to yellow after joining the controller while other LEDs are blinking green.
    The APs has no coverage at all although the WCS shows that there is coverage and the 4400WLC shows that the AP interfaces are UP. (The ethernet interface and tha 802.11b,g radio interface is up).
    The SSID broadcast is enabled.
    On the switch the interface is up and there is traffic going in and out of the LAP.
    I tired power reset and factory reset for the APs but the problem remains the same.
    Any ideas for what might be the problem ?!!
    Regards

    Yes the clients are not able to see the SSID broadcasted by the AP.
    But these APs were functioning normally before without any changes to the WLC config.
    I had the same problem with other APs but they went back to normal state after a hardware reset to the APs.

  • BlackBerry Z10 won't turn on and red led blinks 4 times

    Hi all,
    Yesterday my BlackBerry Z10 suddently turned off, I turned it on again and it worked fine for a few minutes (battery was around 90% full), then it turned off again and I couldn't turn it on anymore! The red led is blinking 4 times with a 3 seconds interval between each 4 blinks sequence. I tried to charge the battery, connect it to the computer, turn it on without the battery (with charger on), with no success. Sometimes, it shows the BlackBerry logo, or even the logo with the % loading, but then it turns off in the middle of the process, on random percentages.
    Does anyone know what happened to the phone and how to solve this issue?
    Thanks!
    V

    Mine keeps turning off... I called them and they told me to send the phone to Blackberry by mail to check what's wrong and that when the phone gets there, they do a complete evaluation and in 30 days they send the phone back... In other words, I have to buy another phone! Blackberry assistance is useless...

  • Dual 1.8 G5 won't boot, first aid on disk utility failed, and the led blinks three times. I've tried the hairdryer trick but it only works for a short time. Any ideas if I can save it?

    I'm starting to feel like there is no hope for my G5. I've updated the os, backed everything up, used the hair dryer and switched out the ram. Still no improvements. I'm just wondering now whether it could be the disk or the logic board.

    I guess if it were me I'd try hotter/longer, then never allow it to Sleep except for the Monitor, & set Processor to Highest Energy Saver>Options tab.
    If you still want a G5, they've been getting cheaper on eBay & such, here's a 1.8 with bad PSU FOR $85+...

  • Green and Orange LEDs blink after each other - what does this mean?

    It won't show up in iTunes, it won't show up in Windows Explorer, and it won't show up in My Computer. Everything else is fine, but it keeps saying "USB Device Not Recognized."
    What should I do?

    If it helps, when I plug the shuffle into the PC, a balloon appears that reads, "USB Device Not Recognized."

  • Hp pavilion g4 1104dx display white screen and caps lock blink twice

    Hi i recently used my hp laptop screen to test another laptop acer aspire 5517. After the test i reconnected back the cable only to power it on a white screen appeared with caps lock blink twice. I thought the problem might be screen shot so i decided to connect to external monitor but still no signal on external monitor even after pressing fn+f4. What might be the problem thanks.

    Hi there , Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! This is a great site to get answers and ask questions. I understand you are having an issue with your Notebook. You had stated that you receive a White Screen and the Caps Lock are blinking twice. Please be very careful when it comes to blink patterns as sometimes there can be a pause between the blinking.   Before you start troubleshooting, please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices, as these could cause some issues. Here is the first document I found called Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset. If that does not work, please follow Computer Does Not Start (Windows 8). The last document I have for you that may help is called Computer does not start and the LEDs blink or the computer beeps. Please follow these provided troubleshooting steps, re-post and let me know how everything went. Thank you! Have a great day!

  • Laptop won't boot caps light and Num light blink

    My Ts2-1375dx won't boot after I have shut it off and turned it back on. I get the cap & num lock lights blinking once. I remove the powercord, battery and all attached peripherals, hold the on button for 30 seconds reconnect the power and try booting again. Although this works (maybe after 1-3 tries) I don't believe that this is the way you should have to boot the computer. I also see lots of the same problem with the solution being the method I use. WHY IS THERE NO PERMANT FIX?!?!
    This question was solved.

    Please try understanding the root cause for the issue by understanding the LED blink codes from the following weblink:

  • WRT54G2 does not work and internet, port 2 and port 3 LEDs are in a flashing pattern

    I've tried the reset button and plenty of power cycling.  The LEDs are stuck in a cycle:
    internet LED is a continous flash
    port 2 LED is a continous flash
    port 3 LED flashes occasionally, but I can't see a pattern.
    It does not respond to pings.

    Try to Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 60 seconds and re-connect the power cable.... Now try to ping the Routers Default Gateway IP 192.168.1.1 and check if you are getting any replies or not.
    Note : Disable the Firewall and Antivirus from your Computer. Then try to ping the Router. 

  • As described in the header, my Apple TV (120GB) has its LED blinking amber non-stop, no video, no audio. It is about 2 months old and I have never had issue with it before.

    As described in the header, my Apple TV (40GB) has its LED blinking amber non-stop, no video, no audio. It is about 2 months old and I have never had issue with it before.

    They stopped making that model four years ago.  There is no way it is two months old.  Trying connecting it to a computer with iTuens via a USB cable to see if you can re-install the firmware.

    I don't know people call this but we normally call it as an "handsake", all smart batteries should do this way.

  • Mac Mini LED blinks and shuts down at startup, takes 2-3 tries to boot...

    I have a Mac Mini PPC 1.42GHz. When i boot it up after non-use (cold), the LED blinks once per second and it boots all the way into MacOS and shuts down several seconds later. It will usually do the same thing the second time around. On third boot its usually fine. Not thinking its related, I have reinstalled MacOS anyways. No good...
    Thanks,
    Rich

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The flashing LED is usually indicative of a power-on self test failure, normally leading to the system failing to boot at all. Once per second would indicate the system fails to recognize available RAM.
    The fact this happens when the system is cold (with an implication that it doesn't happen when the system is warm) might indicate the RAM module is no longer firmly inserted, or that the contact face on the pins has oxidized slightly. In this situation, I'd begin by opening the system and removing and then reseating the RAM - in the G4 minis this is relatively easy since there is only one RAM slot, and it is exposed with just the top of the casing removed.
