    Hello

    The blink code provides some kind of clerical error, and this error is not always the same.

    Individual booklets are equiupped with different motherboards and provide different codes.

    It looks like a hardware problem and therefore, you should contact the ASP again.

    The warranty is still valid and you should take it!

    Don t waste time own investigation but get in touch with the guys again and explain your situation and that this error has occurred again.

  • The orange battery light flashing rapidly

    Unfortunately I can not describe the problem properly, because I keep having problems with the filter of the Commission.

    Short version:
    I have a Toshiba Satellite 2800-300 and since yesterday, battery light flashes orange. Faster than it usually does when the battery is low. Change the battery, charger and power socket did not help. Someone has encountered this problem before? What is it?

    I took the battery now and turn the laptop without it. Is this right? I realize that I must go to the Service Center, but this is no option at the moment so I just want to know what is happening and if it is harmful to the operation of my laptop in this State.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    First of all, you can use your laptop without battery until you find the right solution for this problem. Believe me I do the same thing if I use my camera at home. I remove the battery in the hope that maybe he can save the life of the battery.

    It is not easy to give explanations on this path because it will be interesting to see what happened exactly, but AFAIK if there is no option to boot the device and if the battery orange flashing, it may be a malfunction of the equipment.

    If there is an excessive flashing there may be some malfunction of the equipment. If the power supply microcontroller detects an error lamp DC IN sends a blink code. Can you please tell me how exactly it flashes? Are there different intervals (short, long)?

    Hello

    Have you noticed this problem since the first day of purchase?
    Theoretically, it could be possible that your battery begins to malfunction
    On the other hand, an electrical problem could also be possible

    However, try this:
    Remove the battery and the AC adapter. Then press and hold button power 30 sec long.
    Then insert the battery and plug AC adapter still does that help?

    By the way: this is the BIOS updated? If this isn't the case, perform an update.

    In ADDITION, 2nd edition: I have an infected memory stick digital camera.  It has infected my computer 4 times from AUGUST 2009 I realized that it was the culprit.  It leads to the DEATH of SCREEN BULE.  He arrived Friday.  I made the recovery of the system.  I REINSTALLED it.  QUESTIONS: What should I do with this memory stick?  Throw it in the trash?  I lost 6 months of precious photos.  Can I move photos or keep the photos?  What do you recommend?

    In ADDITION, through the memory stick infect my computer and then the PICTURES who made the infection.  About 3 or 4 flash drives have been put in my computer.  Are they all infected?  I have College CRITICISM of work on one that I can't lose.  What should I do?  Should these flash drives be CLEANED of INFECTION?  They CLEAN themselves without losing me my files stored?  What do you recommend?  I need someone to assess whether or not they are infected?

    The infected memory stick infects my digital camera?  And my Photosmart HP ALL IN ONE printer?  Are they ALSO infected?  Will be going to infect my computer.

    I do not think that the SECURITY SOFTWARE I have: (free from Comcast) Norton and Microsoft Security Essentials, are fighting the infection from the memory stick.  It would be good to have an EXPERT evaluate the memory stick and tell me what they think.  As well as my flash drives, an expert must evaluate and tell me if 3 flash drives are infected? And they are clean? And the files that I have on them can be saved?

    I hope you can help me, THANK YOU, WG

    First, you have to run two anti-virus programs.  This is NOT recommended.

    Second... you state one of them is Microsoft Security Essentials.  If this is the case, you can't turn on Windows Defender because MSE already made defender and stops automatically Defender because it is no longer necessary.

    Difficulty of these 2 things and your problem should be solved.

    I have a HP m8034n pc with a tuner Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600 NTSC/ATSC Combo.  The pc came with Vista and Windows media center worked great just with the tv tuner.  I upgraded to Windows 7, December 2 and fail to put in place my tv with WMC tuner.  The recorded shows that I had before the upgrade to Windows 7 appear and play without problem in WMC. I used the hardware diagnostic tool that is installed on my pc to control the Tuner, and during the test, I can see fine TV stations.  This unit is compatible according to microsoft Windows 7. I have the latest driver and tried to uninstall and reinstall. I ran Windows Update and everything is up-to-date. After that WMC checks tuners, it says:

    I don't know what happened, I left my PC off overnight and planned reformatting today. But I decided to give him another chance. Instead of saying the tuner was not available. He showed me a static snow image strong, as he was trying to use my Analogue tuner. In fact, it is supposed to use the composite input for my cable box. I re set my TV signals, and now everything works well again. Its strange because I reboot half a dozen times last night and it's never worked. Leaving the PC turned off for the night must have done the trick, I guess.
