Canvio Basic HDD - light flashes then stops

Hey all.

A few weeks ago I bought a disc hard extern canvio basics, it worked like a charm.
Since yesterday it does really more, the LED flashes once or twice, then stops, whereas when I touch the case, in my view, that the drive is running. However, it does not appear.

is there a way to fix this?

If the drive is not recognized HARD and does not work in different USB ports and computers, and then in most cases the HARD drive has developed a fault.
In most cases you can't remedy...

That's why I recommend that you connect the HARD drive to different USB ports and if possible to check the HARD drive as part of another computer...
If it fails, well the HDD is not OK.

  • HP Color Laser Jet CP1215: print - guard 'book light' flashing - printer stops charging of paper does not alter

    Hello!

    For about a week, I have the following problem with my HP Color Laser Jet CP1215: after 2-3 pages of printing, the device stops abruptly in the middle of a job and the light number 5 (paper) continues at the flashing light.

    However, the bin is full with paper.

    Ignitions and extinctions help only for another 2-3 pages, then printing will stop again as described above.

    Is there maybe a photoelectric cell that needs to be cleaned or a mechanical part that gives the status of bad paper from the paper tray to the printer?

    Thanks in advance for any help,

    Best wishes

    Hi @wigl,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I see that your HP Color LaserJet CP1215 printer stops printing when the print jobs. I'd be happy to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

    I can see how frustrating it would be. To determine the cause, we need to use more than one document. Redundant that some steps may seem, I would execute all.

    Please, try the steps in this these guides:

    If the problem persists, try a hard reset:

    • Let the printer and disconnect the printer cable and the wall socket for 60 seconds.
    • Reconnect the power cable to the output of the printer and the wall, and not a surge protector. This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.
    • Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector) This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

    Please reply to this message with the result of your troubleshooting. I can't wait to hear strings attached good luck!

    Each HARD disk belongs to "wear".
    What does that mean? Well, sooner or later each HARD drive is going to die... and in most cases, these questions appear suddenly and are surprising.

    This HARD drive is a device of simple plug ' n play... This means that you have to connect it to the USB port and it should work...
    If this is not the case, the unit may malfunction and usually it is not repairable.

  • White screen Y50 - 70, HDD light flashes once every 3-4 seconds

    After I restarted my computer to complete an update of Microsoft, the HARD drive light started flashing, with no splash screen.

    I opened the laptop, removed the battery, no change in the symptom: white screen, keyboard is turned on, the fans are on the HARD disc, flashing light. Tried the routine of button to be able to hold several times, with nothing doesn't.

    This laptop was deposited in a trust PC shop this afternoon. Will update this as soon as I know more.

    Replacement of motherboard resolved the problem. Would like to know the root cause of this failure. The heat? No luck?

  • Toshiba Canvio Basics 1 TB hard work do not

    Hi all

    I bought a 1 TB Canvio Officeworks HDD Basics about 6 months ago, and it has been wayward more or less his entire life.

    The USB connection is not and has never worked properly and was recently completely died on me, which means I can access is more data on the device.

    I intend to pay, but I'd like my data on it.
    Contact Toshiba?

    I tried to email them, but I can't work that the serial and model numbers are on this subject.
    Also, I do not have the box, the drive came in or the original receipt would be this question if I am trying to return it?

    I am sure that it is still in warranty and whatnot.

    Any help would be great,

    Louis

    > USB connection is not and has never worked properly and was recently completely died on me, which means I can access is more data on the device.

    I googled for the 1 TB Canvio Basics HDD and it seems that this external HARD disk supports USB 3.0
    The USB 3.0 standard generally provide 900mA power. The USB 2.0 standard provides power of 500mA.
    If you have problems using USB 3.0 as part of a USB 2.0 device, I recommend you connect the HARD drive to 2 ports USB 2.0 USB with USB Y cable.

    But if the HARD drive does not work in different USB ports (also connected to two USB ports) and then the HARD drive may be defective.

    If the warranty is valid, the device can be fixed / replaced in warranty conditions. Of course you need a proof of purchase (receipt or something like that)

    But to my knowledge such guaranteed conditions don t include the process of data recovery.
    So in the event of disk failure HARD, the data is lost. :(

    If you wish, you can check date get offers:
    http://www.Toshiba.EU/services/data-recovery/

    But as far as I know if you have not purchased this service before the disk fails, the rescue date procedure can be a very costly affair.

  • notification light won't stop flashing!

    My notification light keeps flashing green. I have no new notification and I went through all the programs that I get notifications and the turned off and it still continues to blink when the screen is off. Please help, as this is slightly drain my battery.

    Seems to be a bug that will disappear once the phone is power cycled that occurs when an application generates a notification 'in progress', like a weather app.

    Basically, if an app puts a notification in the left side of the bar notification, it can cause light flashes power cycling the phone will stop it but it can return.

  • Problem starting Portege 7200 - stops running and the light flashes

    I have a portege 7200 with the docker dock 2 dvd, no problems until this weekend, when it stopped starting.

    its plugged into the power outlet and it starts the first windows 98 after the screen time, works my virus checker then the screen goes black, computer stops and the led on flashes.

    ive tried to boot from a CD, using the battery, reinstall windows, all I can think about

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    Have you tried to run the notebook without the docking station?
    If this isn't the case, then try it.
    Also, try to remove the battery for a while. Then try to start the unit only with the power adapter.

    But generally, if the LED flashes then this means that there is a hardware malfunction.
    The flash code can only be read by the authorized service partner. Guys are able to find the hardware failure.
    Well well, in this case, if the procedures described above don? help I recommend you contact Toshiba service partner in your country.

    Good luck

  • Canvio Basic 2 TB suddenly stopped working after Xbox update?

    While to say that the title of the hard drive has stopped working once an update has taken place on the Xbox one a few days ago.

    Now I tried it on a different Xbox one (didn't read), and also tried on a computer laptop windows 10 has yet no chance, at first he tried to install it but only got up then stopped, but even after having passed, still nothing, now its there if I go to device management (depending on whether its fine) but I can not even open the hard drive itself.

    I've had it for about 6 months maybe a little more, but still is it safe, placed just behind the xbox connected, never needed to move it.

    I hope someone can help or suggest something, but im now puzzled.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Satellite Pro 6100 does not start - power light flashes

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro 6100 when I press the power button and HDD lights up briefly then powerlight blinks.
    It seems to Flash a pattern: on (2 sec) flashes (2 seconds) then off (about 8 times)

    What he told me? No fan, no display no hardrive is active.
    Food is ok because it load battery.
    I bought it as it would be something easy to fix ideas?

    Hello

    It sounds bad
    Generally, the power led will blink due to a malfunction of the equipment.
    The LED provides a microcode and only the technician can read this code.
    A common user is not able to read.

    Maybe you'll be able to read this code, but you won't find any description about the meaning of the code.
    I recommend you contact the technician in your country

    But try this:
    Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
    Wait severla times and then plug in the battery and plug in the AC adapter.
    If this does not help, you have aks, a complementary technician...
