• 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.

  How to reset AirPort Extreme 10.11.6 OS? How to work with this pinhole? I'm trying to get rid of this flashing yellow light, which began after I installed a new modem from Comcast.

  How to work with this pinhole?

  Usually a paperclip or toothpick or ball pen.

  Stick it in the hole and reset for about 10 seconds until the front led flashes quickly.

  How to reset AirPort Extreme 10.11.6 OS?

  The software method... Unlike the above material method... is to open airport utility and select restore default settings.

  

  Both methods take you to the same place.

• Time flashing yellow capsule

  I recently changed the router mesh Eero because I had so much trouble with buffering on my TV at the other end of the House.  My time capsule is now just for backups, which seems to do OK.  It is connected to the main Eero router via ethernet.

  But it flashes yellow.  I can't 'see' it more under the airport utility (probably because he is not involved in the wifi; I think I have to reset it somehow to get the WiFi "nine."  But how?  Thanks in advance.

  Let's find out why the yellow light flashes.

  Connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac directly to one of the three <>- on the Time Capsule Ethernet ports LAN.

  Temporarily disable WiFi on Mac

  Open AirPort Utility on your Mac... (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility)

  Click on the image of the Time Capsule

  In the window that appears, look for the status setting

  Click on the little orange dot here and another window will open with more information on the «question»

  Post back with the exact message that you see there

• Time capsule flashes yellow

  Are some time I noticed that my time capsule was blinking yellow.  The wireless seems to operate normally.  I got a new router to comcast, but the same problem occurred; Unplug/plug-ins, it research and find the router and will stabilize green.  But after about a day, I noticed that it goes back to the flashing yellow. I had this time capsule for almost a year and it has worked perfectly until about a month.

  Also I'm not sure if it's back up correctly.  When you use the icon to open the capsule of the 'last backup Time Capsule' and the next line down giving the time backup last letters are light gray.  Other information is normal dark letters.  Is this normal?

  Exactly this modem do you have?

  Some modems only port are causing problems.

  If you changed your modem to modem router or vice versa, you must reset the TC factory and redo his configuration.

  When you use the icon to open the capsule of the 'last backup Time Capsule' and the next line down giving the time backup last letters are light gray.

  It is gray, because it is information, not a command... you can not change the information.

  When you open TM, you will immediately see if the backup works. She should have made a backup, an hour before.

  I'm writing this at 16:37. When I check the time when backup TM is less than an hour ago.

  

• 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.

  Brand new XPS 8900 Win 10 won't turn on, flashes yellow 2 times power made a break of 7 times pauses then resumes.

  I've not seen a chart explaining flashing power on the 8900 XPS button codes. And there is nothing in the Manual.

  You need to contact Dell tech support immediately. You have 21 days from the date of billing (no delivery date) to pick them up. And then you can order another.

  Otherwise, technical support should work with you to solve the problem under warranty on this system.

  If you are comfortable working inside the case, it is possible that something got its place potted during shipping. Then you can try reseating the RAM and PCI-e cards modules and cables between motherboard and drives and connection etc. Don't forget to read the instructions on the inside of your PC use in the manual before opening the case.

• (Redirected) Alienware Alpha delivered games missing

  Hi all I bought an Alienware Alpha back in June however I do not have to receive the games delivered with the system when I added my Steam login to the first installation.  I suspect that the machine has been used by the shop staff JBHiFi I bought it and they may have bought the keys innappropriately.  How can I correct this situation?

• Alienware Alpha refuses to play Star Wars Battlefront 3

  Not too sure what else to try...

  Bought a copy of PC of Star Wars Battlefront 3 of Dell.

  He arrived, installed original, installed the game, but the game would not load (game seems to be gray out originally). Installed on my Media Center PC Battlefront (i5 / 16 GB-RAM/GTX770SLI) and it will start and play without any problems.

  Went back to my Alienware Alpha (i5 / 8GB - RAM)... Upgrade to Windows 10... still has not loaded...

  Experience of GeForce uninstalled and reinstalled and updated drivers for the last... Still has not loaded...

  Updated RAM on my Alienware Alpha from 8 GB to 16 GB (ordered through Dell... shot in the dark)...  Still load the game...

  GeForce experience sees the game, but is unable to optimize or restart...

  Account Origin see the game... but it's greyed out on the Alpha...

  Windows sees the game as being "set up" and is unable to launch...

  Any help or suggestions here? I called the origin, with me by checking the settings of my account and some basic PC troubleshooting... Unable to find a problem...

  Reference called Dell... Transferred 3 times and told me its probably a "software problem" and that maybe they could help me if I paid them $129.00?... What is rather low because I bought the system, game and RAM directly through Dell...

  I've seen countless comments, posts and videos of people with Alphas playing this game...

  Anyone have any ideas on what I can try?

  This site has really not much help.

  After running around trying everything I could think of including updating my drivers and the operating system to upgrade my hardware and spend a few hours on the phone with the support of different groups... I ventured out of my own again and got the game to work...

  I had to completely uninstall the game and then re - download it again and reinstall it from scratch...

  Once I did the game loaded and play a lot.
