Lights flashing on HP 6940

I just replaced the carridge of black ink on my HP 6940, with the same ink cartridge #, and after I close the lid, I get the flashing lights on the power light, State and light black ink cartridge.  I tried to reinstall the cartridge several times without a bit of luck. Any suggestions to fix this?

I was able to understand the problem myself.  I needed to cut the power to the printer, but simply unplug the power cord was not the case.  Finally, I unplugged the printer to the USB port and the reset of the printer and it works fine now.  I know now what I need to do to restart the printer.

  • HP 6940 power, resume, right cartridge lights flashing continuously

    I found my 6940 HP with power, which takes up and fires right cartridge like crazy. I did everything that I could Google to try to resolve the problem, several times in the course:

    • Power cycle, including remove the power cable from the plug
    • factory reset (report, press Cancel x 3
    • Remove/replace cartridges
    • move the rear cart & more
    • start without installed black cartridge
    • start without installed color cartridge
    • start without any cartridges installed
    • Check and check for paper jams (he was never that I can tell)

    In each case, my method was.

    • Remove the power plug from the back, wait 15 seconds to replace.
    • Try something from the above list

    In each case, the printer works fine for a few minutes. It's the ping requests, it is accessible via the integrated web page and a test page can be the printer. In each case, after a few minutes, the lights flash, and the printer is no longer pings or via the web page. When the lid is raised, the bar that prevents the cartridges come off, is stuck in the up position (preventing removal).

    I'm afraid that the thing bought the farm, but I've always been happy with it and will not replace it (all they seem to do today are these monstrosities multi-function) if there's a chance someone knows something that can fix.

  • 32D1334B LCD TV - not light power light flashes red & Green

    I have a Toshiba 32D1334B LCD TV, it used to work perfectly well and then all of a sudden, it will not activate.
    When I plug in the TV, the power automatically light flashes red and green permanently. There is no way to turn on the TV; the screen remains black.

    I had to take off the back, watched and deleted all the parts, but can not see the obvious problems. I also a multimeter and power to the various sections of the TV is, but that's as far as my electrical knowledge goes!

    I don't really know what else to try, but I am very reluctant to throw away the TV that I know it's probably a unique piece that needs to be replaced to fix it. I searched online and others have reported the same problem exactly, but it had not resolved there always. Unfortunately, TV is more under warranty... If anyone has any suggestions or can provide any help, then it would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks in advance.

    If you find out how to fix it please let me know because my tv is the same.chris

  • Satellite 2805-S201: AC power light flashes orange 8 times

    Hello

    I worked on a Satellite 2805-S201 and everything was fine until I put a PCMCIA wireless with 3, 3V power.
    After that, the AC power light flashes orange 8 times and recycle.

    It comes with power supply, battery, AC and no battery installed, etc. If I pull out the power plug and the battery and then put both when AC is green and the battery may charge. As soon as I push the power button, I hear a light click on the right side of the device and then it goes into the amber cycling power.

    Bulletins of support mentioned that the card could get damaged, but did not mention the unit itself.
    No, the PCMCIA card is not always connected

    Any thoughts?

    Hello

    The flashing provides a micro code which refers to the hardware failure.
    But please don't ask me what might mean this code because in my opinion, only an authorized service provider can be read and can check in his manuals and documentations.
    But it is of course, in most cases, it s a hardware problem of motherboard! ;(

    Perhaps the external PCMCIA card was not totally compatible and damages of something on the map but it's only my personal suggestion to ensure what s bad hardware fault diagnosis would be necessary.

  • HP pavilion dv6 light flashing no power

    Hi guys, my laptop fell as 3 feet off the bed and now won't charge or turn on. When I plug in the power cord, the light flashes quickly. It is a white color led flashes. What it means that the manual has only white, orange and flashing orange options. I tried to just use the battery and it does not illuminate. Also tried the hard reset when you press and hold power for 30 sec to 1 min. Any solutions would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Thank you for the information. For battery light blinks several times, I have included the following document 'computer does not start and the lights blink or computer beeps. Once you have the link open, click on power battery light flashes and follow the steps.



    The second document I've included is 'computer won't start (Windows 7, Vista, XP)'. Once you do not have the document open, click the symptom that is to have your computer and follow the steps in order.



    The last document I've included is, "battery Does not portable computer power or hold a Charge. This will take you through the different options of battery test, power supply and motherboard.



    Please let me know if you are able to turn on the laptop after this, thank you.

  • Qosmio F20 won't start - power light flashes orange

    My Qosmio F20-149 crashed yesterday and I was not able to get it working again. When I try to turn it on, the power light flashes on and outside (on: 1 sec, off: 1 sec) and the cooler fan operates at full power. When I press a key, there is a genre or a sound error. otherwise no reaction of the laptop; even the CD player does not open.

    I did no RAM-implementation to date, and I use the original power supply Toshiba. I tried from the laptop using only the battery, only power and on both. No change in the reaction. I tried all possible combinations (with a free one, both... etc) of my two cards, RAM (512 + 512) and still no use.

    I am really puzzled.

    If I understand you just your laptop sends a blink code. Copy the following code appears so laptop has detected a problem with the electronic power supply.
    In this case, there is nothing that you can do and the laptop must be sent to the service provider allowed the closest.

    They have manuals containing instructions and the exact description of the code how do I solve this problem.
    Sorry, buddy, but I do not think that anyone here can offer an accurate diagnosis for that matter.

  • 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)?

  • Satellite Pro 6100 - problem starting (light flashing Orange)

    On my laptop Satellite Pro 6100, seeing DC IN (first on the left) flashes orange and the laptop does nothing else (no display or sound). The light flashes for 8 times, has a long pause and then starts all over again.

    I tried a different adapter with no joy. It does the same thing if you use only the battery and if you run from the adapter without the battery.

    The only time wherever it shows a different light is when you take the battery out, put back in and hold the power button. Led Slim Select Bay (second right) briefly turns green, but it turns off and the led DC IN resumption of the orange blink.

    It seems likely that it is an internal hardware problem (power supply, motherboard, etc.). Does anyone have any ideas? And as anyone knows anywhere which lists all the different orange light codes for Toshiba laptops?

    Hi André,.

    You are right in thinking that there is a hardware failure (most likely your motherboard). Flashing codes are used by service technicians to indicate the nature of the fault and I have yet to find anywhere who publishes the real meaning of these codes.

    I think it looks like a trip to the nearest Service Agent. :-(

  • Light flashing orange and double beep at startup - Tecra M1

    Hi guys,.

    I have a Tecra M1, which starts with a double beep, which continues for almost a count of 28 or 30. At the same time between the power lights and the battery light flashes to the rhythm of 6 seconds on and 6 seconds off. Nothing else happens.

    Where can I get information about such error codes only displayed by these symptoms?

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    Hello

    Unfortunately there is no public record of these codes. What happens when you try to start your Tecra without battery and connected to the power supply current only

    What I know for sure, is that when the microcontroller detects certain defects in the power supply flashing code will be sent. You can not do anything alone. Contact the partner Service of your country and you ask what is the best solution.
