LaserJet Pro M201dw: Flashing the power light on LaserJet Pro M201dw

When my M201dw Pro LaserJet is in standby or energy saving, or what you call mode, the white light in the power button blinks slowly.  It's annoying when the room is dark and you look at the video or something.  Is it possible to keep the dark machine?

Hello @wrecksx,

This is a great place to visit for a community support and HP! I see that the power LED flashes when in stand bye mode and you want to know how to stop. I would like to help.

It is a feature of the printer when in sleep mode, the power LED flashes to warn that the printer is in sleep mode. When you touch the screen the power light goes back to a solid light. There isn't any way to change this feature.

The printer should be turned off, unfortunately.

  • 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!

    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.

  • Equium L40 10 X flashing green power light

    Hi guys,.

    I have an old Equium L40 that I haven't used in a while.

    Now when I plug the power adapter into the power green led just blinks constantly.
    I checked the blink codes, but I can't find one for mine. It simply turns green for a second then off.
    Then green for a second then off the coast and that constantly.

    I tried to remove the battery for a few minutes and then hold the power button for a minute, but I just get the same result. The adapter is one that came with the laptop and as far as I can tell works very well.

    Other ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you guys!

    Hello

    Indicator power (DC IN) indicates the status of the power supply with the power adapter plugged.
    (Without flashing) Green means supply and the computer is turned on.
    The power light on the front of the computer lights green when the computer is turned on.
    Flashing orange indicates power to the computer while the laptop is in mode 'sleep'.

    Unfortunately, the DC IN green flashing red state looks like a hardware problem.
    Probably the power supplied to the laptop is abnormal or there are a few problems with electronic power on the motherboard.

    By the way: Please check the memory modules live. Blow an and test the device using that one module in each slot. Check the two modules.
    A few years ago, a friend of mine had some problems with the laptop. The flashing light indicates the issue of RAM

  • the power light comes on is when I power up my Airport Extreme, Time Capsule.

    the power light lights not is more when I place my Airport Extreme, Time Capsule of power, but I hear whirring noises.  I tried to reset the unit but get the same answer

    Sorry, but from your description, it is possible that the power supply to your Time Capsule is defective.

    What exact model of the time Capsule did you? If it is new, you can get it replaced by Apple, especially if you bought it with another Apple product.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Satellite does not - the power light flashes

    I tried to turn on my laptop and there is a yellow light where the green power light should be, and he won't even be able to until this could be

    Hello

    What laptop do you use?

    Seems the laptop provides a blink code. This means that a material error has been detected.
    Usually short blinking means 0 and a long time means 1.
    The authorized technician must be able to read such a code and to locate the hardware failure.

    Above all it s something wrong on the motherboard!
    Then I n t think you will be able to fix it. This is not possible if you have no experience and the right tools and parts of s.

    So in my opinion, you must contact the ASP in your country for assistance!

    Good luck

  • 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

    Russ

    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.

    Hello cello6996

    You are in warranty? If so, I would suggest contacting HP. If you are out of warranty, follow the steps below.

    How does a power button is essentially that it shorts two special pins. This short film is a signal to the power on the power supply and all components. A quick Google search reveals the most common method to do this is to disconnect the wires to the pins on the motherboard power button and then tap a screwdriver against just these two pins. Use gloves as a precaution. or a screwdriver with an insulated handle.

    Is there a way to bypass the power switch?

    If the computer starts correctly something wrong with the power button. If the problem persists, it is more than likely a problem with one of the hardware components and the problem will have to be isolated further. Let me know what happens.
