18 XPS does not start, the power light will not stop flashing

I was upgrade this computer to Windows 10, I did install one instead, but the children had spyware which even then showing upwards. I did a refresh, there no I did an installation and finally got in windows. Some updates installed and restarted.

The computer was bricked since. The only thing that happens is the LED which indicates the power above, the button will not stop flashing white light. Connected or not connected, after having held down the power button for 5, 10 and 30 seconds, the led stops flashing for a while and then again. I tried several points of sale. No idea if it is a coincidental breakdown.

I'll change that.  I went back in and re-removed the cable from the battery.  I also removed the CMOS battery cable this time... I was at least an error message on the screen and access to the BIOS!

    Hello

    I agree with go.
    The ASP would be able to tell what means error.

    Usually means short and 1 long: 0
    So the error must be: 1010 1010
    Due to the last significant bit (LSB), to be read by behind:
    So it now means: * 0101 0101 binary *-> it must be converted to hexadecimal-> * 55 Hex *.

    Then, you will get a hex code.
    But unfortunately, I m not very well which could mean this code

  • Tecra M2 - will not start, the power light is on

    Hi, I wonder if someone out there could help me with a problem?

    I was using my M2 Friday when my friend accidentally hit a very small amount of beverage on the front of my M2, I immediately got up and got a hair dryer on it.

    After leaving it an hour I tried to use and everything worked as before which was a great relief, but a day later, I used the M2 to check my e-mail address when all of a sudden went.

    The power led is on was still and so was the light that indicates I have a CD player, I tried several times and it wouldn't start, so I went again for a day and yesteday morning it seemed that it was starting up only to freeze on the Windows screen, he then returned and he has not started since.

    Could you please give me some advice on what I could do to fix this?

    Kind regards

    Hello Russ

    Be realistic. What you can do in this situation? Not much! You can try to start the machine. See if you can get into the BIOS and if yes how long the device will remain on. If unit is running for an extended period, you can try to boot from the CD (for example with the recovery media).

    You can try to connect as another external HARD drive to another laptop and try to back up all your important data and reinstall the OS. More than that is not possible. If there is an electronic failure, it is not easy to fix on your own and support technical investigation just to see what hardware is damaged.

  • Dell Studio 540MT does not start, green power light on, but the Start button / clear stop completely

    Looking for assistance

    Have a Dell Studio 540MT (purchased in 2009), worked great until 2 weeks ago.   After a temporary system failure would not start.    The power light itself is green fixed.   The power button on the front panel is completely released.

    I read a lot of messages and other information about a similar problem.   Therefore, I did following:

    1. unplug everything, press the power button / stop for 1 minute and retries.   without success

    2. replace the CMOS battery.  without success

    3A jumps the Green and black 20 supply connection wire pins to motherboard.  It started immediately food, fans and hard drive.   so I assumed that the PSU has been authorized.

    4 replace the motherboard with a new mobo.  Curiously, in a first time, there was no change, but after about 2 minutes, the power button was working and power system.   Everything worked so very well.   I had also completely cleaned all the dust in the chassis and radiator, fan and had applied the thermal paster as directed by Artic Silver.   I even turned off after hours of race and restarted system.  Restarted, he noted that it took a couple times by pressing the power button to make it work.   Then the 2nd day I shut down the system by a normal shutdown through Win 7 and let rest for about 10 hours.   When tried to start/turning the power on again, same problem as the original problem... at first, before light power button would show amber flashing when first pressed the power button / stop, then once I unplugged the power cord and let it sit for 1 hour, the light power button showed no light, completely and again no restarts.

    5. I ordered a new power button cord (new)... This could be the problem and replacement will fix?   Is this a known problem that power button can cause this kind of problem?

    6 or is a problem of power supply?   But you wonder why the green light of the PSU and works very well when jumping the Green and black wire on the connector 20 pin?     Before I go buy a new power supply to other suggestions?

    Is there a known issue with button / stop itself and/or PSU on Dell Studio 540 MTs?

    Yes, the front panel can cause failure to start in some models, although I don't specifically remember if the 540 has been affected by this problem. Please let me know if the replacement resolves the problem.

    ATX power supplies should work. Here are the standard components of the Dell desktop computers.

  • Difficulty in the light on the AC adapter and the power light power on after connect you to the laptop

    HP Pavilion dv3t notebook. Each time get adapter connect to the laptop, it takes at least 10 minutes to get the AC adapter and power indicator light on. Sometimes it does not light on all day.  It always happens any with the battery or not.

    If I start the laptop with the light on the AC adapter and the power light, no matter how I move the power cord, it maintains support, works very well.

    But if I start the laptop without the light on the AC adapter and the power led on even with the, i.e. start with the battery as power, no matter how I move the power cord, the led on the AC adapter and the light, i.e. no charge. He stops until the battery drain.

    I believe that the AC adapter is good. But I have no idea why he has trouble in the light on the AC adapter and the power light on after to connect to the laptop.

    Dv6 had a somewhat similar problem that was treated with a BIOS upgrade. I watched the latest BIOS for your laptop and there is nothing about a problem of load, however. If it works very well and also a long time that you turn it on with the AC plugged in but only has a problem with loading when you connect the adapter Windows runs, I'm tempted to say that it is a software problem as a problem with Windows power management. Maybe if you remove the hard drive, power supply, switch it on with battery only, then plug the adapter when you run in a pre-Windows environment, we can see if the same problem occurs. If it was my cell phone, I would also like to do the update BIOS level, just to see if maybe it would affect something. I could also try to run it from a Linux Live disc any and see if the same problem occurs in another operating system. Last resort I would begin focusing on the issues of possible material, as a module of taking bad AC, which is an other replaceable part that requires no welding.

  • DeskJet 932C - the power light is on and the cartridge flashing

    Hello! I know my DeskJet 932C is 'old', but it seems to be in excellent condition.  First time that I had a problem.  The power light is on and the cartridge is flashing.  When I open the cover, the plateau of the cartridge moves to the far left.  The arrow points to the unfortunate color cartridge.  The missed years ago color cartridge.  I use my printer to print B & W, so I've been printing with the empty cartridge in place for years.

    I removed a reinserted the color and B & W cartridges and turn on the power and turns off.  I used the HP print and scan doctor, and it's scan does not have something wrong, I clicked on print a test page, and nothing happens.  The test page is listed as 1 document in the queue.   Status: error - printing.

    The printer has been in its current position on my desk for years.  It was not known of any trauma... None does damage... no power failure.  It's clean.  Has been connected to 4 laptops and uninterrupted service.

    I prefer not to buy a new color cartridge.

    Would appreciate help.  I would like to know what it means and if there is a solution.

    Thank you!

    Focus21

    The printer will perform electrical cartridges to light control and a few other times.  If an error printing can be blocked to avoid damaging the printer.  Clean the contacts of the cartridge as shown in the document here can solve the problem, otherwise you will probably need to replace the color cartridge.  The 932 Deskjet will allow printing with an empty cartridge, but for years, the cartridge may fail electrically and needs to be replaced.

  • While the loop does not stop when the two values are equal using equal to comparitor

    Hello world

    I have a really, really strange bug. I have a LabVIEW VI that change a chain on a power supply. I have a start and a stop voltage and use a while loop to increment the device. For example if I want to scan from 1, 2V to 2.2 V in 0.2 V incremements, the program will end when "The current tension" = "stop the tension." And it works very well!

    However, when I start - 3 V and want to stop to say-0.8 (new in 0.2 V incremements) the program does not stop when "The current tension" = "stop the tension." I checked with the probe close to what should be the end of the race and - 0.8 V goes both of the entries ' equal to ' comaprison operator, but that his can't trigger a real result.

    It's very strange for me. Espeically as if I'm going - 0.8 V to-2 V but decrement of-0.2 V, the program stops correctly!

    I am very confused!

    See you soon!

    After updating my iPhone 6 (9.3.4) the WiFi signal becomes very low! I did everything, but the problem does not stop! I don't a not update my other devices & their very good WiFi signals. Please help me solve this terrible problem...

    Here's a tip for the user on the problems of Wi - Fi. Suggest from the top and bottom. Maybe one of them will help you.

    (1) restart you device.

    (2) resetting the network settings: settings > general > reset > reset network settings. Join the network again.

    (3) reboot router/Modem: unplug power for 2 minutes and reconnect. Update the Firmware on the router (support Web site of the manufacturer for a new FW check). Also try different bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and different bandwidths (recommended for 2.4 to 20 MHz bandwidth). Channels 1, 6 or 11 are recommended for 2.4 band.

    (4) change of Google DNS: settings > Wi - Fi > click the network, delete all the numbers under DNS and enter 8.8.8.8 or otherwise 8.8.4.4

    (5) disable the prioritization of device on the router if this feature is available. Also turn off all apps to VPN and retest the Wi - Fi.

    (6) determine if other wireless network devices work well (other iOS devices, Mac, PC).

    (7) try the device on another network, i.e., neighbors, the public coffee house, etc.

    (8) backup and restore the device using iTunes. Try to restore as New first and test it. If ok try to restore the backup (the backup may be corrupted).

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201252

    (9) go to the Apple store for the evaluation of the material. The Wi - Fi chip or the antenna could be faulty.

  • Tecra M3-264: the fan does not stop

    Hello

    I have a labtop Toshiba Tecra M3 264, it's wonderful BUT,.
    The fan does not stop and this sound is a bit noisy in comparison with the other all I have.

    Is this normal in this model or should I take it to the service?

    Hello

    It is normal activity on new laptops cooling fan is very noticeable on older models. I recommend you to check what happen if you change the settings of cooling method in power management.

    By the way: allow the unit to take a breath. Make sure that the ventilation openings are free and that there is nothing that can stop the flow of air. If the vents are dirty and full of dust, it can also be responsible for cooling fans runs often and with a higher speed.

    Firefox seems to have recently developed seemingly random usually do not remember bookmarks, particularly when the pc does not stop correctly. Thank you

    If Firefox detects that the places.sqlite database is corrupted then Firefox can create a new database file and import bookmarks from a JSON backup that does not contain the most recent bookmarks (a new JSON backup is created when you run Firefox for the first time on a day), then you may lose the bookmarks in such a case.

    You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Simulation does not stop in the Loop Simulation & control

    I'm working on a settlement in a loop of control & Simulation. I created a State space model and an inside observer.

    Now, I've implemented nearlly all, but now the simulation does not stop.

    First here is a picture of the .vi when it still works:

    But this isn't the end result, I want to have.

    I want to connect the output of the subtrahation (2 x - y) at the entrance to the exterior product.

    You can see from the image below:

    If I do, my continious simulation and never stops. The simulation time is always set to 10 sec.

    The .vi is attached. I hope someone can help me.

    I don't understand your suggestion. I've set up a node of your comments, but this does not solve the problem.

    But I found another solution to the problem. I build the .vi completely new and used the arithmetic of the design group Signal and control Simulation. The gain block and the summation block works better in my case that digital add and multiply the blocks. Now, the tracks of the simulation and the regulation works well.
