SL500 - light HD continues to blink slightly - Normal?

I "ve installed XP and a number of applications and noticed that the left hard drive LED blinks - cycle about every 2-3 seconds." It does this even when I do nothing - is this normal?

Eureka! After trying everything in the book to turn off paging of memory to the extinction of indexing - guess what finally does not stop the flashing LED light - after much googling and trying almost every suggestion - is disabling the feature autorun of CD/DVD in regedit that did it. The HD Led does not blink needlessly now. Thanks for internet forums and suggestions. Thank you guys.

  • my ipod does not turn. When I put on his orange light continues to blink.

    My Ipod shuffle is not coming. When I put on the pricing still show the orange light flashing continuously.

    Flashing light (by itself) does not indicate that a problem.  Blinking light means "do not disconnect - eject the iPod before disconnecting."  It shows there is a connection between the shuffle and computer data.

  • paper HP deskjet f2480 & fires of black ink. Has passed through the stages. new cartridge. Continues to blink.

    I have a printer hp deskjet 2480 all in one. The paper and ink lights flash. I went through the trouble shooter and replace the cartridge. Continues to blink. All the answers as to why and what next? Error code 095E76ZB.

    Thank you all for you answering my question on my printer HP Deskjet f2480 problem. Sorry for the late update, but I take care of an elderly parent and have been busy with appointments.

    The problem of the printer turns out be a problem of cartridge after all. We took it to a repair shop. The person told us that this printer is particular about the cartridges. He plays well with non HP cartridges or refills. We had been filling at Costco with no problems for a while. Costco has verified the refill cartridge and it checked OK. Go figure. After trying a few new HP cartridges, we finally got one to work.

  • After turning on my wireless keyboard led green lights, then begins to blink, and then turns off. The batteries are fresh.

    After turning on my wireless keyboard led green lights, then begins to blink, and then turns off. The batteries are fresh.

    Possible explanation.  It is likely that batteries, so fresh, can be irregular in size.   The uncertain connection would therefore tend to lead to a failure to blink and you declare.   Read my thing...

  • The new iPhone 7, display lights on the move - is this normal?

    I just bought an iPhone 7.  Whenever I pick it up the screen lights up before I hit the home button.  Is this normal?

    I guess that when I'm carrying it, it will keep light upward, and then jump.

    Yes, it is a new feature in iOS 10 called "Raising to wake", where you can check the notifications on the lockscreen without hitting the power button / stop or the "home" button.  I don't know if I like it or not, but I currently have always it turned on.

    To disable this option, go to settings, display and brightness and toggle the revival to Wake OFF.

    I played around with it a bit, and it activates especially when moved from horizontal to vertical (for example pick up placed on a desk), but no say, low vertical, high portrait.  So depending on how you wear the phone (pants pocket, Pocket jacket, holster, backpack, etc.), it may or may not turn on unintentionally.

  • LAPTOP POWER LIGHT FLASHING CONTINUOUSLY

    Hello everyone,

    After a good time with a Presario laptop I just bought an HP Pavilion Notebook PC g6-2004tu. Since last week (the second week since I bought the same) I noticed the light of battery on the right side (next to the CD Combo drive) which turns red when he was charged, began to blink once the adaptor cable is removed and even the windows are arrested & closed the laptop cover.  Of course require all of you experts could advise, suggest and help in this regard.

    Thanks in advance.

    Running Win 7 Ultimate (64 bit).

    Go to the HP website, select Support and drivers, either enter your computer model or to leave the website to detect.  From there look at the troubleshooting information for your laptop.  HP generally uses flashing lights like this to show with the laptop hardware problems.

  • When I connect to my photoshop as CC continues to blink, the mouse flashes and "cancels" my clicks.

    This problem started to happen since last December after the upgrade in 2015 CC, since then, so I could not use photoshop CC correctly. The screen flashes, mouse flickers between the loading mode and normal mode, when I click on the menu button, it cancels automatically my click as if I clicked on Esc. What makes photoshop CC unusable. I'm trying to find a solution to this problem for 2 months without success.

    Apparently, if I open a menu or go to filters/color adjustments, flickers is interrupted.

    I tried to use another account, reinstall, reset setting, but the problem continues appearing after my sign in creative cloud. Apparently sign out could solve the problem, but photoshop CC starts without connection.

    This problem makes me crazy because I can't use photoshop for anything whatsoever since December. I would be very grateful if someone could suggest a possible solution to this problem.

    Hi congz,

    Suggest make you in Photoshop preferences > General > uncheck "Show Start Workspace" > restart Photoshop and then check out.

    Kind regards
