  • HP Deskjet 2514: Start button / stop flashes when I try to scan HP Deskjet 2514

    I had a problem where my printer would not prevent printing, even though I cancelled it.  I watched and followed these instructions.

    From the desktop, hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run window, type services.msc and press to enter.  Scroll down to the print spooler service, right click and select Properties, then click the Stop button.  Now search for C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS, then delete the work inside this folder - you may need to click a command prompt to get the authority to open the PRINTERS folder.

    Restart the computer and you should find that the documents have been deleted.

    I didn't know that one to remove, so I deleted everything in the folder.  Now, my printer prints, but whenever I try to scan something, my power button flashes and it won't scan.   Help, please!

    Hi @Donna924,

    I read your post and see you were able to solve the problem for print jobs would not cancel, but now you are unable to scan. I'd love to help you.

    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.

    Download and run the print and Scan Doctor, he will diagnose the problem and could solve it automatically. This software will also troubleshoot jobs stuck in the queue, which you could use in the future if the problem persists.

    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (she print or scan, error messages)

    If you appreciate my efforts, please click on the "Thumbs up" button below.

    If there is anything else I can help you, let me know. Thank you.

    See the documentation provided with your computer or the web site of manufacturer support.  The flashing light is almost surely you give an error message and if you can interpret what it is telling you by looking at the model/types of flashes on the support web site, you can then replace or repair what is defective.

  • HP Deskjet F4280 all-in-one scan does not work. Start button / stop flashing when you press scan.

    Scan does not not on my HP Deskjet F4280 all-in-One.  The power button flashes when you press scan. Everything else works.  I tried to unplug it from the wall socket and reconnect it.  Not solve the problem. What else can I try?  Or, is it a piece of junk now and needs replacement?   My laptop (windows vista) did not go into repairs several months ago. Don't know if that had anything to do with it.

  • T450S does not start, button / stop flashes 3 times

    I have a T450S which is a few months. It worked fine until the other day when it wouldn't turn on.

    When I push the power button, the Green LED flashes three times. Then, the LEDs on the keys F1, F4 and Fn comes on for a few seconds and turns off.

    Here is what I tried:

    -Load for a long period.

    -Remove the battery for an extended period.

    -Remove the battery and now the power button for 60 seconds.

    -By pressing the button in the hole reset of emergency.

    Nothing has made any difference. Any ideas?

    Update: I called Lenovo support and send it for repair.

  • Start button / stop flashing light turns off

    Original title: Power up

    When I turn on my Dell Demension E510, the power button flashes amber in color. I can't turn on my desk until there is a clicking sound or reset and the flashing light goes off.

    Hi HOWARD R Ruscin,.

    This seems to be a hardware related issue. Your best bet of contact would be the manufacturer to resolve the problem.

  • Options for the power button Windows XP to ask what I want to do when the Start button / stop is pressed

    Original title: Start button / stop - "ask me what to do" - where is it?

    Under XP, when I pressed the power button I could put it "Ask Me what to do." This is very useful for two reasons:

    -My PC is under my desk, and if I'm not careful, I can press the power button with my knee...

    -To turn off, I can hit the power button / stop rather than start etc, then choosing.

    The feature exists on Windows 7 (press alt + F4), then how do you link that to the press the power button? Why this was removed?

    See you soon,.

    Hello

    Yes, there are only work-a-rounds and that is why I suggested that
    thread. There are also a few details about why he was abducted that
    are especially that in general as it caused more problems than it solved. Then
    for those who have used the function correctly, it is a concern when trying
    to restore its functionality. To my knowledge, is not 100%
    this case, just ability cannot be added in by a registry setting
    as support has been totally removed. If this is the case, then the work - a-
    towers or possible 3rd party solutions are the remaining options.

    Please let us know if you find a better solution.

    I hope this helps.

  • T400: Start button / stop does nothing in Vista

    Hello, I start button / stop set to "turn off computer" in the Power Manager settings, but when I press the Vista power button nothing happens. I use Vista 32 bit SP2. The power button turns the computer very well and of course now that it performs a closed hard but he executes any action when you press right on it.

    Holding for 1.5 seconds will shut down normally (assuming that you have defined at the stop) and now it for about 5 seconds or more will make a stop 'hard' who just turns off everything without a load.

  • Equium L20-197 does not light up at all - on button / stop flashes and nothing happens

    Hello

    I own an Equium L20-197 and it currently has a power problem. It does not light up at all. When the device is connected to the machine the orange light comes on to show that there is a power source but when I hit the power button the flash just buttons and nothing happens.

    If I hit him again once all the lights go out and the whole system fails.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Hello

    Did you put this phone in the standby or hibernation mode?

    Read this description, it seems that the laptop has been in one of these modes and cannot wake up.
    Try to remove the battery from the laptop and unplug the power adapter.
    Several waiting time (~ 20 min) and reconnect the battery and the AC adapter.
    Then try again to put the laptop.

    If she will not be able to boot up the laptop I presume the ESF on the dysfunctions of the motherboard.
    In this case the contact of technicians would be desirable.

  • Officejet 5610 starts slow printing and button / stop flashes

    This just started happening.  A document (no matter what I print) will begin to print, get the first two lines printed and then take incredibly slow.  Meanwhile, the power LED flashes and the message says "print...". "If I restart my computer and as you turn the printer power on and off, it will correct itself.  Anyone else have this or know what to do?  Thank you

    Looks like the printer can be connected to a surge protector and the surge protector can not provide the stream of electricity the printer needs since it starts then slows down and the power LED flashes.

    The printer is connected to a surge protector?  If so, plug it directly into a wall socket.  If it's related to the surge, the question shouldn't be present.

    Let me know what happens.

    Hi gpmroy,

    A power indicator light is flashing on the printer indicates generally prepare a print job. The power light flashes while the product receives the data.

    Have you tried to print from another browser like Chrome or Firefox? If you are able to print from another browser, I recommend downgrading to Internet Explorer 9 to 8 (or just continue to use another browser).

    I would like to know if this helps or not.

    Hello

    Try to connect the laptop to the external monitor to check if pictures or anything else appears on the second monitor?
    You can also try to use the FN + F5 combination to check if the display will change back to the internal display.

    But look, man, if you are not successful then I guess there must be a serious hardware problem and only the laptop technician might know what's wrong.
