WRT54GL - Power Led blinking after unsuccessful flash-attempt

Hi there, I wanted to flash my wrt54gl with some other version of dd-wrt firmware. There was another dd-wrt image on it before the flash, but when I chose to "upgrade" the firmware, the router hung with power led blinking and the SES button active. So I aborted the flash with a powercable-unplug, and plugged it in again. Since then the router doesn't start up any more. I don't get an IP via DHCP, with static configured IP 192.168.1.2, pinging 192.168.1.1, I get a response, but I can't get to the web interface again. I tried the 30sec Reset-trick, didn't work out. I tried to upload the original Linksys firmware via the Linksys TFTP-tool, which didn't work out either. U got some other clues, what I can try to get my wrt54gl back alive again? greets gothic5k

Hey try resetting the router reset button in such a way that power
light is blinking on the router & then do a complete network power
cycle i.e., unplug the power cables from the modem & from the router &
then plug in the power cable to the modem first once all the lights are
solid green you could plug in the power cable to the router & check out
it will definately work!!

U205 s5022 Power LED Blinking

U205 s5022 Power LED Blinks amber color as follows: Blinks 3x pauses Blinks 3x pauses blinks 2x pauses and repeats cycle. Power Adapter checks OK at 19 Volts DC and have installed new battery. Computer still won't start. What could be probable cause of consistent blinking light?

Initial reply led me (thank you) to recheck the power adapter I was using. It turned out it was for 19 volts DC and this lap top only takes 15 volts DC hence the blinking lights. After replacing the CMOS battery and tinkering with other stuff (which I later learned were unnecessary but educational) like the motherboard, reseating CPU heat sink etc. - the unit is now working but will just stay idle because I have been a MAC person for many years now.

Hello @NoGameNoLife,
I have read your post on how your notebook computer is not able to power on, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
Since there is a blinking orange light where the AC adapter plugs into your computer, I recommend following this document on Computer does not start and the LEDs blink or the computer beeps, as well as Using and Testing the AC Power Adapter. This should help to restore the power to your notebook.
If the issue persists, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

WRT54GL power led keep flashing, hard reset doesn't help. router is dead?

Just got my new WRT54GL. It worked very well for couple hours, and then I can't connect to it any more, wireless or wired.
Tried hard reset and follow instructions from here, it didn't help, power led still keeps flashing. I can't ping 192.168.1.1 or tftp to it.
So Router can be announced dead? I know it most likely be the flash bios issue, but what can I do with it?
Thanks!

Unplug the power cable for 1 minute..... plug back the power & see if it is solid or not ....
If not lower down the Ethernet card speed from Auto to 10 half duplex or 10 Mbps ..... reset the router for 40-50 seconds ..... check the Ip address ...try to ping the gateway address if getting reply open routers set up page & upgrade the firmware of router ........
If not getting valid Ip address use static Ip address 192.168.1.50 ...subnet mask 255.255.255.0 .... & gateway 192.168.1.1
Again try to open the setup page ..........

RE1000 power light blinking after power failure

I've tried the 8 sec reset and the 30-30-30 reset but can't get the light to stop blinking and so can't connect to the unit. It was working fine before the power went out. Any suggestions?

I had the same issue after a power outage today. I online live chat with an agent for about 15 minutes until he provided me three options all about that I would have to pay extra to get it replaced or fixed because mine was just out of warranty yesterday. I was lucky enough because mine RE1000 was not dead completely. I followed the instructions in this community and restored its service successfully.
Here is what I did.
1. Reset the extender by 30-30-30 method. The LED still blinked after reset.
2. Turned off wifi on my laptop and assign a static IP on my laptop: 192.168.1.x. Ping RE's default gateway 192.168.1.1 with an Ethernet connection. It returned good result.
3. Log on Web Admin Page and I was prompted to upload its firmware. Followed the screen instruction to upload the firmware that I already downloaded previously. Waited until everything was finished and it rebooted. Volla. It was back to life.
I guess it might have lost the firmware somehow after power failure. Is there a battery inside the extender to power the flash rom?
Here are few instructions I followed up:

Iomega StorCenter ix2 white LED blinking after fw update

Hi,
today I tried to update the firmware of my ix2, don't know if it is the ix2 dl as the case looks like this http://shop.lenovo.com/de/de/servers/network-storage/lenovoemc/ix2/ but with StorCenter instead of ix2-dl written on the front. As Version 3.3.2.24208 was installed, I manually uploaded ix2-ng-3.3.2.29823.tgz as a first update step to be able to update to 4.0.6.19294 in the next step as recommended in the FAQ.
see https://lenovo-eu-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/31178
But after successfully deploying the new firmware and the automatically reboot, the device sticks to a glowing blue HDD LED and a blinking white power LED. I read about the chance to boot from an USB flash drive but I can't find the image to prepare the USB flash drive.
Can you please provide me with this image or tell me what I can do to access my device again?
Thanks.

You can put the serial number in the box under "Find Your Product" to see if it is in warranty still. If you still have the original purchase receipt, you can contact technical support and they will update the warranty if it is still within the warranty period. Unfortunately, only technical support can provide the link for the imager as you have to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

HP 6735s won't boot, power LED blinks 7 times

The HP 6735s laptop stopped working. Only sign of life, power LED flashes 7 times after on/off switch is pressed. What's wrong, experts?

Try a hard reset. Sometimes it works and is always the first step to take.
remove the battery and the ac adapter plug from the laptop.
press and hold the power button for fifteen seconds.
install either the battery or ac adapter power and press the power button to attempt a boot into the OS.
If that doesn't work then remove the hard disk to see if it gets past the splash screen and the BIOS whines that it can't find a bootable OS. That would indicate a hard disk failure.
Also worth tying is removing the memory module(s) from the DIMM slots and then reinstalling them. That reseats the modules and cleans some oxidation off the module pins (if there is any)
Another, perhaps a laptopsaver (in a manner of speaking) is the HP Pavilion dv2000/dv6000 and Compaq Presario v3000/v6000 Series Notebook PCs - HP Limited Warranty... Check it and see if your laptop is covered.

erico

E2500 Power LED Blinking

I'm using an E2500 and the Power LED started blinking this week.
From the manual, this means   “Flashes slowly during bootup, during firmware upgrades, and druing a Wi-Fi-Protected Setup Connection.” We have a wireless printer (wireless disabled), and a Kindle that does use wireless. All other computers are hard wired. I have not started a Wi-Fi protected setup. The router has been in use since the third week in October, and is more or less OK even though the Power LED is flashing.
Why is is flashing? How do I get the Power LED to stop flashing?
Thank you.

Yes, internet connection via the router seems to be OK (both hardwired and wireless).   There may be some degradation, but I'm using a satellite provider so it may not be the router.   However, intermittant connections have occurred within the past few days and that's the same time frame at which I noticed the light blinking.  There may or may not be a correlation.
We power down all our equipment when we go to sleep (modem, router, computers etc) and power them up each morning.
The firmware version on the web site is the same as in my unit.
I do notice that when I log into the router page the light stops blinking.   When I exit the page it starts blinking shortly thereafter.

Why is that power LED blinking?

the power LED on the MSI k7n2g blinks a lot on my computer. It's supposed to be a message LED, but what is the message it's sending!?!?!? Is it morse code? IT would have been a REALLY good idea it put a key to the code inthe manual!
Anybody know?
(BTW, I have had several issues regarding the onboard video, but after an update to the drivers and bios, it does seem to operate more stably now, AS LONG As I don't use anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering or texture sharpening...or set the memory bus to 200Mhz with my ddr400 memory....)

maybe ur power led and hd led got switched around by accident, check the wire, if you think its right but it still does it, try switching the power led wire with the hd led wire.

Power led blinking

I have a hp 5175ea, some days I can not turn on the computer by pressing the power button as it flashes without stopping.
There is no sound, the fan is operating normally and the hard drive LED flashesnormally.
The screen does not light up, and you can not press any button.
What can be the problem? Highlight your reply soon thanks

Neo4 does not POST (Power cuts + 3 second Power LED Blinking)

Hi,
This is my first build and I have already been plagued with 2 problems. First, I finished the build and ran for one night and then the PSU went bad and needed to be replaced (replaced with same model). Now, after running fine for about two weeks, the system shutdown over night and won't restart. No activity should have been happening overnight. When I try to start the system, the fans and everything start for about one second and then stop. The power LED begins to blink every 3 seconds and no power is given to the system. The D-bracket does not have any lights showing, they go out after the first second of running. Here is what I have tried so far:
1. Tested power supply on second system and it worked fine.
2. Removed the motherboard from the case and set it on the static bag it came in. Then with only the video (with it's power) and the two MB power cables connected, I tried to boot the system. The same problem occured, power off after 1 second and LED blinks.
3. Bought a new PSU (Mad-Dog 500W which has +12V/30A) and still the same problem.
4. Removed each RAM module and tried with just one stick, still the same problem.
So I think I the only things left are MOBO and CPU... I would think if it was the CPU, I would get a signal from the D-Bracket. Any help?
Thanks in advance!

Quote from: Deathstalker on 12-April-05, 00:14:59
I would try removing the Power Cord from the Power Supply and the Battery from the mobo. Leave them out a good 15 to 20 minutes before putting them back.
If that does not work, try a different brand of RAM for testing purposes.
Deathstalker,
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried removing the battery and power for 15 minutes and replacing, but no luck, same problem. This system was working for two weeks with the PQI RAM modules. Can this compatability change all of a sudden while running and just power down the system?

WRT54GP2 not working - Power LED blinking fast.

My WRT54gp2 has been working without issues for 2 years. All of a sudden from yesterday, the power LED is blinking fast. I am not able to connect to the web interface. My computer says limited or no connectivity. The internet and WAN LED are steadily lit. Has anyone faced this issue ? Is my router brick now ?

As the power light on the router is blinking..It means that the firmware of router is corrupted..Check this link to unbrick the router.

I noticed that solaris does not offer any security feature concerning this item, although it is a good opportunity for hackers to scan a solaris machine.
Please let me know
Thanx in advance

Hi,
The Trusted Solaris version supports this feature. You can find the detail about configuring the same at http://docs.sun.com under Trusted Solaris 8 and Administration Procedures.
The same can also be achieved by using Pluggable Authentication Modules(PAM) which has been incorporated since Solaris 2.6. For more info on PAM check out www.sun.com/solaris/pam. There some white papers and admin guide .Also refer to man pages on pam.conf ,pam and pam_unix.

WRVS4400N Diag/Power LEDs blinking

Hey,
Recently tried to update firmware on our WRVS4400N (v1) router (from WRVS4400N_V1.0_V1.1_Firmware.zip), and ended up with router alternatively blinking the red Diag and the Power LEDs...
Googled the whole thing...and tried resetting the router (power off / on....reset button help for 60 secs +, etc)...pretty much everything most people were suggesting (including this page on the Cisco FAQ for the WRVS4400N: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9923/products_qanda_item09186a0080a358b9.shtml - including trying with the LAN adapter speed set manually to 10Mpbs/Half-Duplex, w/Static IP address), and absolutely nothing.
So, a couple of questions:
1) Any other suggestions of what I could do...
and assuming that answer to 1 is No - what are my options? Router was bought nearly 3 years ago from a Reseller (NCIX, in Canada)...
Trying to find the information on the warranty - getting different answer - although I did see 3 yrs somewhere...can I just call in and RMA it?
Thx

Good afternoon,
The Small Business Routers typically come with three years of hardware support, including the ability to RMA if thorough troubleshooting proves the device to be faulty. However, if the tools we use determine that, based on your serial number, the product is no longer within that period, you may have to furnish a Proof of Purchase to verify entitlement.
I would highly suggest going ahead and contacting us at 1-866-606-1866 (US and Canada) with the serial number and a Cisco.com user ID so we can create you a case and troublshoot your router if it falls within the warranty period.
Thank you,
-Lindsey

Hp 630 power led blinking 3 times

Hello Brothers,
My HP 630 notebook is not powering on by battery neither by power adapter connected. If I press power button when its connected the L.E.D besides the power plug blinks 3 times. This happens till the battery is charged; if the battery is not charged these L.E.Ds don't even light up.
I expect the laptop to power on(when connected to wall outlet) even if the battery is out. Can someone kindly suggest what could be wrong here?
Thanks a bunch in advance
Regards
Jag

well, I have tried combo's of all 8 sticks in all different slots... sooo guessing mother board..
not really worth repairing when I can get a mini for less than the cost to fix it... any one want to buy it for parts?
