Alienware Alpha flashing yellow lights when it is off. How to fix?

Hello, I had problems with my Alpha recently. This problem started occurring in my 3rd week of me having my alpha (which is too bad.). When I went to turn it off or reboot the system, it would not seem to come back. I tried to use the method of draining power and eventually fix it temporarily, but the problem would be more severe and would be more difficult to turn back. Mine was flashing in a sequence of five lights flashing yellow when he tried to be turned on again. Do I have to send it back or Alienware has a solution for this?

Sorry for the delay with my post was out and about. However, I found a surprising solution to the situation. I'm the type to brag and see how I like to compare the specifications with my "Geek" friends I like to take my alpha in their home and play a game with them. I didn't really invest in one of those alpha bags because I thought that a bag of books can do the same thing. It turns out I was wrong. My father who is tech savvy thought that we should try to take a look at the alpha ourselves. So we checked the warranty sticker for zero and he wasn't there and we proceeded to disassemble. We took out the hard drive then we went we removed the chassis. We have then the guts and everything that we've done is we wanted to make sure that everything was intact (we didn't send back see how it would be tedious and an inconvenience.). WE DID THAT PLACE ALL IN. REAR AND REMOVE THE STICKS MEMORY I went to plug it back and works perfectly well. Now, I'm typing this from two reboots of the alpha, and it seems to go a lot. I guess we'll have to see what brings the future... in any case, I'll keep the guys/girls updated you and tell you if it's worse here.

  • Flashing yellow light on airport extreme.

    My airport extreme suddenly started flashing yellow.  Internet works fine.  I checked the airport utility, and pop-up 'internet' with the green light next to it.  So why it flashes yellow?

    When you open AirPort Utility, in addition to the Internet world, you should have seen a photo of the AirPort Extreme. If you have not, then turn off the AirPort Extreme and restart your Mac, then put back up the AirPort Extreme and check once more in AirPort Utility.

    The yellow light flashes when an update is available for AirPort Extreme, Apple rejected an update of the firmware a few days ago so maybe it's a clue.

    If the image of the AirPort Extreme now appears in AirPort Utility, click on the image of the airport and a small window will appear. If you see a button to update here, and you want to update your AirPort Extreme, click Refresh.

    Otherwise, find a list of status and click on the little orange dot it for more information on the problem with a suggested fix.

  • Whenever I turn on my laptop, the system time is the same as when I stop it, how to fix

    Hello

    I have HP DV6 - 2130ca. I recently had a bug that were not work my quick commands. A support forum, I got to know that if I take my batteries for laptops and power and press the power for 30 seconds he'll fix it. Well, he got the problem solved but since then I am having a problem.

    Whenever I turn on my laptop, time is the same as when I stopped him. For example, if I 'Shut Down' or 'Sleep' at 2: 00 and turn it on, to 17:00, the time would still be 14:00 on laptop.  I tried Googling and found a lot of answers slightly different questions on several support forums by using the Task Scheduler to schedule a task to update time only every 5 min etc, but that did not work.

    If I update manually time using time settings Internet, set time until I turned off my laptop or put it to sleep.

    Please help me. Thanks in advance :)

  • I don't want the new tab with apps opening when I open Firefox, how to fix this?

    I want to just the home page to open without the new tab with a search bar on this issue.

    Sometimes the home page changes are caused by a new extension or external software change your Firefox settings. These can sneak in when you install other software, as many free programs include a set of less useful things.

    Could check you your extensions for the actions essential or unrecognized? Open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off. Or if it's obviously nonsense, delete.

    If the button Delete is absent for an extension, you can usually find a way to remove it using the Control Panel, uninstall a program (or all what is it called now to the point Windows 8.1). By clicking on the column heading to sort by date, "installed on" is useful to find and remove unknown elements not trustworthy bundle or other additions.

    Once your system is clean, your preferred homepage appears, either immediately or after the update the setting in Options?

  • Firefox won't goto URL when typed in. How to fix?

    When I type a URL in the address bar and then click on go or the arrow on the right side of the bar of Firefox will not go to the URL. He behaves as if nothing has been entered.

    See if you have the extension 'AVG Safe' and you turn it off and refer to "Problematic Extensions" a reinstall AVG Free without the "Link Scanner" and another extension, they can try to install.

    When Firefox 8.0, if you have this extension, it should have been well up at the top as an extension of third party.

    • delete the 23.0.0.166 directory
    • launch chrome and go to Flash content
    • it download and install Flash Player, in the same directory of Data\PepperFlash of ~\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User?

  • HP ProBook 6455 Notebook 14 "b: no operational function computer, other than blinking yellow, light load.

    HP ProBook 6455 b 14 "laptop, windows 7 Pro (32-bit or 64 - bit?) certified refurbished.  The only operational fuction is flashing yellow light load.  There is no indication of another function of operational computer (no video, sound or anything else).  The bright yellow of load is a light flashes when the power cable is connected.  No activity when it is not connected.   Discovered that there was a recall on the LS-15 worded power cable?  However, does not apply the power cable provided with purchase of the laptop.  HP Pro Book bought on 18/08/2015 and currently still guaranteed manufacturers less than a year (HP).  But impossible to determine a repair services provider who is authorized to manage the guarantee of manufacturers (HP).  The question above malfunction only occurred once since the purchase of the laptop and does not work since the accident.  Please advise on the problem, if known and how the process of repairs handled with HP warranty.

    Remove the battery and then plug the power adapter.

    Press the power button.

    The laptop starts at the Windows login now?

    If so, the flashing led you had with the battery connected, indicates that the battery does not and must be replaced.

    If it is not the case, the adapter sector or systemboard has failed. and you should contact HP to service warranty from the manufacturers.
