Power button blinks T420 during shutdown

Hi guys, I just got a refurbished T420 runs 10 Windows on a SSD, and it seems to work well.

Just a question. The green light flashes 11 times while she stops, and there is also a short beep. Is this normal, and if not, what does that mean? However if the restart (in the power menu) it does not blink or make a beep.

Thanks in advance.

Did some research on the quick commissioning. If what I found, it's true, windows does by saving an image of the Windows kernel and loaded drivers on the hiberfile (C:\hiberfil.sys) on stop so when you restart your PC, Windows loads just the hiberfile (C:\hiberfil.sys) in memory to take back your PC instead of restarting it. This could be the reason for which only the power LED flashes and a beep. I noticed that when the power led is flashing, the hdisk indicator flashes like writing a file somewhere and will beep when finished. But positive step is logical.

FYI, the login screen power off is 15.6 seconds and input of password Full saturated office another 16 seconds. He takes over software antivirus and malware.

Lots of good info on this forum.

  • Power button blinks after the upgrade from my diet

    Hello

    I try to upgrade my power on my XPS 8100.

    Now the power button is flashing and my computer no longer starts.

    -the motherboard led is orange (without flash)

    -all fans of start for 1 second, then they stop. After 2-3 seconds the fans re-start 1 second...

    -J' I remove the RAM, HD, graphics card... everything and it still does not work

    -J' tried to re - install the xps power supply: it still does not work

    For more information, I tried to install the master silent pro 600 gold 'Cool' PSU

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Here is the troubleshooting guide for the Studio XPS 8100 It may not be very useful, but a flashing amber light would indicate that you still having the problem of internal power source. Since you've already tried another power supply that would indicate a possible motherboard failure.

  • HP Deskjet F4280: power button flashes f4280 error

    I just replaced the two cartrigades of ink. Now it gives me the letter E of the number of copy of task and the power button blinks green. It will not print and I removed the device and reinstalled, off the and disconnected. Still nothing has changed. Can someone help me with this problem? Please, I beg you.

    It seems that the printer can be stuck to the execution of a maintenance task, according to this: LINK

    I would make sure that the front access door and the cartridge access door are securely closed, or perform a hard reset. These steps are part of the Solution to the "issue: the power LED flashes" section.

  • Z820 - button Power LED blinks 4 times (red) with beep... bad card (Quadro 4000) graphics?

    Hello

    My Z820 at the office is suddenly having a few hardware malfunction.

    When I turn on my machine, the PSU/system fans don't rev and the Power LED button flashes red with a beep 4 times.

    According to this page of troubleshooting, this indicates a faulty PSU on the new UEFI computers:

    HP desktop - computer does not start and emits a LED or a beep Code

    Section "code beep and LED descriptions.

    Get the exact model of LED as the example of "power failure".

    Then, I got a new power supply replacement. I still have the exact same model LED and beeps...

    So, I have drawn deeper and found that when I removed the Quadro 4000 card graphics and then put on my machine, the power button LED is lit in blue (led code ' computer-S0 (normal operation) "") and all the normal spin fans.

    The Quadro card seems to be the culprit...

    Unfortunately, I have no alternative graphic card laying to verify this around, I'm waiting for a replacement of the graphics card (via HP service) to arrive tomorrow.

    Is it possible that the power LED button code (4 times red with beep...) has nothing to do with a bad power supply and that my Quadro is bad?

    Dries

    Dry... that Z820 has been giving you headaches.

    Many fault codes have not changed since the previous workstatons.  I hit this series of beeps of error in the past, and often doesn't mean that the power supply itself is the cause.  It can be a hardware device to the bottom of the chain causing a power surge to power, triggering his "crowbar circuit: fault protection

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/crowbar _ (circuit)

    Here are the instructions to deal with this series of beeps of a previous HP xw technical and repair.  Note the number 2 in the troubleshooting instructions... usually you don't have to go down to 3, in my experience.  I think that you have already found the faulty unit:

    Loss of power.
    1. open the access panel and make sure that the power cable is properly
    connected to the system board.
    2. Locate the faulty device by removing all devices and then reinstalling one at a time
    until the workstation fails. Replace the device at the origin of the failure. Continue to add
    devices to make sure that everything works correctly.
    3. check the power supply feature.
    a. turn off the AC power.
    b. remove all cables internal power on the system board.
    c. connect the power supply.
    ● If the power supply fan turns and the BIST LED lights, then the
    power supply is good. Replace the motherboard.
    ● If the power supply fan does not turn or the BIST LED does not
    light up, replace the power supply.

  • M7470n power button flashing

    This PC has worked flawlessly for some time without problem.  I have installed a licensed version of Windows 7 from MS Technet and everything seemed to be good.  Actively during the use of the PC, it went completely dark.  The power button started alternating blue and yellow flashing. The LED on the back of the PSU is lit.

    I found that if I unplugged the power cord & then pressed & held the power button for 5-10 seconds, it would stop flashing.  When I reconnect the power cord, it starts again normally, but the PC turns off again everything using it as before.  The CPU & case as expected fans function when the PC is running.

    Is finally - the power LED flashes (not the one on the power supply to the back of the PC) as described above an indication of sleep / standby or something else?  I remember that when the PC is on and used, this would indicate blue - and when, in a form of Eve, there amber glow.  I can't find a definitive answer about the State of amber blue alternating.

    I had the same problem. When you press the power button, the blue power led for half a second and started to blink orange/blue. The only way to reset this behavior was to remove the power cord for one minute. The problem started intermittently and as time passed, it was worse. Until today where I have never been able to start. I finally found the problem. It was a power supply problem. I opened the power supply to find 5 capacitors were bulging. I'd say it's probably normal because this PC was purshased in verse 2005 (8 years). I replaced 5 capacitors (total $ 5) and it works like new. Hope this helps other people with the same problem.

  • macOS Sierra - press and hold the power button to enter the mode 'sleep'

    I recently updated my MacBook Air (13 inch, early 2015) model of El Capitan macOS Sierra 10.12. Before the update, hold down the power button / stop for 2-3 seconds, put the machine in standby mode. It does not properly after the update. Release the power button to switch to sleep mode works only once after each time you start the machine.

    I know he has an option to set the mode of sleep using Ctrl + button / stop and by selecting one of three options to restart, sleep and Shutdown, but who needs 3 more click click and is not fast. Also, independently of any application that is open, pressing the button walk / stop worked fine before the update, but now I need to be on the desktop even do Ctrl + Power button work.

    All patches available for it? Miss me the old way of put my Mac to sleep I do not remember if I did some tweak in my Mac, or was it a default feature...

    Greetings jainam2209,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It seems you want to put the Mac to sleep, but it does not always work.
    I would recommend read you these articles, the first article explains the ways that macOS Sierra is supposed to go to sleep.
    The second article can help if the computer won't sleep when you're trying to sleep.

  • TouchSmart 610: TouchSmart 610 lights. I have a set of 5 beeps with a yellow light above the power button.

    I keep my office earlier this morning with the entry of the normal shutdown process. When I went to reactivate tonight all I get is a set of 5 beep with a yellow light flashing above the power switch. Repeat this five times then beeps stop and only yellow continuous flashing. I can hear and feel the hard drive running. I tried to unplug the power supply and then plugging, but the same thing happens. If I push and hold the power button on, it sounds like the hard drive stops and restarts. The normal blue light comes on for a few seconds then turns off and is replaced by the yellow flashing light. All you have no idea as to what may be the issue?

    Hello:

    Normally 5 beeps means there is a problem with the memory.

    I suggest that you remove and reinstall the memory modules and blow up if this doesn't fix the problem, if your PC has two memory modules, an and see if the beep disappears.

    If this is the case, remove this module and specify the first condition in you removed and if the beep begins once again find the defective memory chip.

    If it is not, remove the module and put the other in you deleted and if the ringing stops, you have found the faulty memory chip.

    Then replace the faulty memory module by one with the same specifications.

    If the ringing continues despite trying these steps, and then either the two chips of memory are bad (unlikely), or the motherboard has a problem.

  • Power button on Satellite A300 turn computer automatically.

    Hello.

    I recently removed the carcass on my Toshiba Satellite A300 and when I put back it together I have a problem with the power being real button delicate in some cases, turn off the PC itself.

    When I start the PC or put in mode "sleep" by pressing the power button sometimes all I have to do is touch the button and the PC turns or sleeping and strangely sometimes the button work normally by pressing it down until it snaps.

    I couldn't find the problem, I was wondering if anyone knew what it might be and how could I solve this problem?

    > I recently removed the carcass on my Toshiba Satellite A300 and when I put back it together I have a problem with the power being real button delicate in some cases, turn off the PC itself.

    It seems you damaged or done something wrong during the disassembly procedure may be a connection problem?
    I guess the power button has worked correctly until you have removed the case and disassembled the laptop. Right?

  • Question on Mode Power button settings

    What is the difference between Mode 1, 2 and 3 of the Mode for setting the button of power, except for the color change?

    Hello

    As far as I know using these modes you can simply change the color of power button.

    Default value is always active and blue color and turns red when the unit is turned off
    Mode 1 = is always on and lights up green when the unit is on standby.
    Mode 2 = is always on and turns different colors during standby
    Mode 3 = led power rollers by means of various colors and green during sleep.
    OFF = power LED remains off.

    I can't tell you more.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A300 power suddenly goes out during the race for hours

    Dear users of the Forum,

    I am facing a strange problem in operation.
    My laptop Satellite A300 is suddenly down power during the race for hours.
    It is auto off not exactly. Not the way windows stop, is rather like strength to off (as when I press on & power button to stop force).

    This happens automatically, starting again, the screen saying "windows does not stop properly, start windows normally" is apperanig.

    I suspected virus infection, I tried full scan with nod 32, essential microsoft, kaspesky - 1 by 1 (previous uninstall and install the new), but all the antivirus intremediately scan stopped due to this power off.

    Watch movie also stopped in the Middle, attempted to convert the movie file format also was arrested several times because of this problem of automatic disconnection.

    I tried to run only on the power (remove battery) and got the same result.

    can anyone identify the problem? can you please give me the solution?

    Hello

    I put t think it is s virus.
    En me it looks like overheating. Eventually the high internal temperature requires the laptop to close. This is done automatically to prevent the equipment from damage
    I'm not quite sure what could cause this exactly, but in most cases the dust inside the fans affects cooling performance and lead to a temperature higher than m.

    Higher temperatures could affect the RAM modules too, and perhaps that is the reason why some applications don't work properly.

    What to say; try to clean the cooling fans using a jet of compressed air and check out how the laptop would proceed

    Hello

    Try disabling the startup of Windows 10 hybrid - you can do the following.

    Open settings and select System.  Select food and sleep, and then click additional power settings - in the next window, click on "Choose what the power button" in the left pane.

    In the next window, click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable" (close), then Remove the check mark from the box against 'Turn on a quick start (recommended) '.  Click on the button Save the settings, and then close open windows and stop the laptop by right clicking on the icon from the Start Menu, select prompt (Admin) and click 'Yes' to the uac prompt.

    Type (or copy and paste) the following command (including spaces) and click Enter.

    Shutdown /s /t 0

    Start the laptop and let Windows take over completely for a few minutes before checking if she will now disable correctly.

    If this has fixed the problem, it may be useful by turning the quick start back on - sometimes simply remove and re-create the file will solve the problem.

    Kind regards
