White screen Y50 - 70, HDD light flashes once every 3-4 seconds

After I restarted my computer to complete an update of Microsoft, the HARD drive light started flashing, with no splash screen.

I opened the laptop, removed the battery, no change in the symptom: white screen, keyboard is turned on, the fans are on the HARD disc, flashing light. Tried the routine of button to be able to hold several times, with nothing doesn't.

This laptop was deposited in a trust PC shop this afternoon. Will update this as soon as I know more.

Replacement of motherboard resolved the problem. Would like to know the root cause of this failure. The heat? No luck?

  • HP HDX 16 (model X 16-1360 EV) cannot start, and led (CAPS & NUM Lock) light flashes once.

    Hello

    I own a HP HDX 16.

    The laptop model is X 16-1360 EV (product number: NW746EA #B1A) and it has Windows 7 64 - bit installed on it.

    Since yesterday it will not start and I get the error code flashing led "Failure CPU" (1 flashes each sequence, every 2-3 seconds) and nothing appears on the screen, he died.

    Last week, it wouldn't boot at all, no lights no all of the screen system was dead. I replaced the AC adapter and it starts normally. I worked with her for 2-3 days, and it worked perfectly, until the above has happened. Any information about how I can fix this would be appreciated. I have no device connected on the laptop.

    I'm adept at dismantling and reassembling, and I did it several times to clean accumulations of dust and dirt that prevents good cooling and caused stops due to overheat. I checked the various modules of RAM from another laptop HP just to see if it was a memory problem, but still the same thing occurred.

    Thank you in advance.

  • Canvio Basic HDD - light flashes then stops

    Hey all.

    A few weeks ago I bought a disc hard extern canvio basics, it worked like a charm.
    Since yesterday it does really more, the LED flashes once or twice, then stops, whereas when I touch the case, in my view, that the drive is running. However, it does not appear.

    is there a way to fix this?

    Ed

    If the drive is not recognized HARD and does not work in different USB ports and computers, and then in most cases the HARD drive has developed a fault.
    In most cases you can't remedy...

    That's why I recommend that you connect the HARD drive to different USB ports and if possible to check the HARD drive as part of another computer...
    If it fails, well the HDD is not OK.

    My mac book pro end 2011 running El capitan (not sure what version of El Captain) short charges a month ago, when my charger is broken... somewhere, I'm the charger at work now (after a month, it was completely empty until about 2-3 days ago), he would not start I can not reset nvram or smc as the mac won't even turn on.

    If without connecting the charger I press the power button or indicator, nothing happens, but if I connect the charger, then press the indictator of costs it market showing no charge as Whiteout pressing me the button power mac continues to try to start the ISL flashes on the left, the fan turns, there is a noise coming from the hard drive the screen is completely black and this is repeated every 6-7 seconds...

    I thought that it was because the battery was completely discharged so I let it charge for 4 hours the first day then for about 6 to 7 hours the second day then topic 2-3 hours on the third day it was yesterday, so I read a tutorial or something online that said to hold comand, shift, option, r, p and the power button at the same time for 10 seconds and then let it, and press the power button Yet once I did this, but nothing happened, it was in the same loop, then I repeated the process without holding shift it wasn't too then I held command, t nothing happens so in desperation I held the power button for about 10 seconds, the fan has started a lot of dust exploded and fun trotted it started normally then I ran a virus scan and a control of being using bit defender, nothing was wrong with the results of bit Defender, I will attach be check the results soon... all the while there was an X mark on the indicator of battery... then I restarted the mac and he returned to its previous state, I've tried everything to run back removed the disc hard cords battery cables and cd drive leads to the Board and tried to boot with various combinations of even (what I did the day I got the charger is working IE the first day, but two trials failed to produce results and my mac is back on the loop and I'm sick using a phone to post my question) , I am not able display the screen shots I ttok the activity monitor and the edition of text file that I saved with being check the results I copied both of them on my phone so that I am able to provide using any other method, I would really appreciate if someone can help me

    I found a way to solve this problem! This is only a temporary fix and it dosent charge the battery, but I can use the mac on AC only when it is plugged so that's how it happened the charger is plugged into the mac and socket is in the same loop as explained above, then when I remove the battery leads to the mother board or logic board do not know who , but one at the top, then the mac tries to start u see the Apple screen and then it turns off back. Then after a few seconds the fan starts and SIL flashes 4-5times and turns off, then starts again now, when I connect the battery cables again once (while the lights flash) now it starts perfectly and without brand X on the battery icon it shows not charging and the task kernel upward a big piece of my ram There is absolutely no free ram, I found the culprit core task and it is a process owned by the root, that it was something like coreutd I have strength that quitting smoking and the RAM is free as usual when I restart I have to go through all these things that I've done to start the first time and this time another process owned by the root with the task of kernel so I stop and ram is normal again every time I restart the ram is completely sold out

    My iPod will not charge.  I had it plugged in for more than 3 hours and still not a red flashing light once and then that turns off.

    The battery can be worn out and unable to hold a charge when it is disconnected from the power supply.  How old is your shuffle?

  • HP Pavilion x 360 has the white screen and LOCK SHIFT key flashes

    I recently got a new laptop from 13-inch HP Pavilion x 360 a week ago. It worked well and I loved. six days after that I started to use it the screen goes black while I watch a youtube video and the mahcine started his strange. I use the power button to turn off the laptop, and then restart it. Laptop works very well and I continue to use it on another fifteen minutes until I close and start loading. 40 minutes later, I opened the laptop to find that the screen does not light and the CAPS Lock key blinks once in a repeating sequence. I didn't do anything the screen lights up. After some research, I think it's a potential CPU issue. What are the reasons as to why it happened to my brand new laptop?

    Hello

    Before reloading your OS, please try this sequence... Note that during throughout the entire process 4h15m, your BB must stay connected to a good charger (not the USB PC):

    1. With battery, connect your BB to the wall charger
    2. Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the screen not
    3. Remove the battery
    4. Wait 15 minutes
    5. Insert the battery
    6. Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the screen not

    This has been known to "revive" some BBs.

    It is also possible that your battery or BB has encountered a problem... to test, this sequence is necessary:

    1. Get a known good and already fully charge battery... use it in your BB and see what happens
    2. Get access to a BB good and the same known... use your battery in there and see what happens

    The results of this will show if your BB or your battery that has the problem.

    Good luck and let us know!

  • Satellite A200-PSAF6A - white screen, will not start

    I've had for about a year or more now, out of warranty, and I had no problems so far. The operation of the machine is perfect, done a little warm here and there, but I never had blockages of material etc. The problem lies in the boot process where it lights up but the screen remains black and the HARD drive activity light flashes once, the optical reader clicks like it normally does at the start, and all the normal power supply/battery lights are as they should be, but the laptop will not progress beyond that. The power led remains blue and there is not much activity from the hard drive or any part of the material. This not even the screen of the BIOS at all. At some point, which I suppose because I can't see a pattern emerging in any form, the laptop will emit several beeps and the HDD led starts to blink signifying a boot up is ongoing, but the screen remains blank. At this point, if I turn off the laptop holding the power button / I am sometimes able to start with the display work, but once these things are depend on chance then sometimes it works and sometimes it isn't. Is that a real problem for me because I use this laptop for school and I get sometimes it will feed any or he will, and I'll have to wait a certain amount of time, which could be easily half the class and when he does the beep hard distracted others which is quite annoying.

    Now, I went through a lot of similar topics and tried what was said, but to no avail of course. I tried to delete all the components (RAM, HDD, optical drive, Wifi etc.) and reinstalling them that sometimes only a temporary solution. In the RAM slot I have 800 mhz and 1x1GB 667 mhz-1x2GB, I tried various arrangements with the installed RAM and RAM I have around my house, but I have not yet come to a solution. I find that I can't start up with RAM in just the second slot, I guess it's probably normal, but if it's not please comment and tell me otherwise because I read about another solution to a similar problem a person should use the ram in the second slot to get his laptop to start.

    My suspicion is that it's to do with a kind of BIOS check or maybe a BIOS corrupted, that I could not resolve without a technician because I am already in the current version of the BIOS. I did not update the BIOS that is not. If not then I'll assume that it is just a fault of power on the motherboard circuit. It's a really weird problem because it works quite well after, and I don't think it's a hardware problem perfectly serious because he wouldn't if it was.

    Any help is appreciated on the topic, share your knowledge, if you have had a similar problem because whatever it is would be useful

    Thank you

    James

    I'm not 100% sure but I think that the graphics card can be removed. Maybe you have enough experience with replacement of equipment, but laptop disassembly without maintenance manuals can be risky.
    I really hope you know what you're doing. Maybe you should contact the nearest authorized and ask for help.

    BTW: Where you want to get the new graphics card Satellite A200?

  • Satellite A350 - white screen of death

    Hello

    Recently, I broke my screen in a fit of anger and sent him to Toshiba repair.
    They replaced my screen. It was a month ago.

    I installed windows 7 3-4 days ago and it worked fine.
    I opened my laptop one night to discover a white screen empty.
    After turning it works, take the battery and the white screen remained, and then it appeared randomly with system restore options

    I restored the system and apply a fix from microsoft to counter the supposed error windows 7. It did not work.
    White screen when I put the laptop to sleep (the laptop stop) or stop it.

    The screen appeared again yesterday and I left it all night in the hope that this would change.
    My sister took out and put back in the battery and a screen appeared asking how you would like to start windows.
    I started windows then reinstalled Windows Vista using a mirosoft installation disc.

    After the installation of AVG Antivirus it tells me to restart.
    I restarted the laptop and instead of the toshiba logo on the white screen of death appeared.
    He stayed for 10-20 seconds then my laptop started.

    I looked at this article (http://www.laptoprepair101.com/laptop/2008/04/13/laptop-lcd-screen-turned-white/) and suggested that the screen may have problems. I should send it back to Toshiba?
    Can someone provide diagnostics?

    My specs:
    Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P7450 processor
    2.13 ghz
    4.00 GB RAM
    32 bit OS

    So basically, I have a white screen randomly when I reboot, turn on, or put the laptop to sleep. If he get's a strange thing to many factors. I don't think that its my OS because what happens on Vista and Windows 7

    Please help as much as you can. I didn't wan't to take it in for repair as it can cost money

    Hello

    For me, it looks like hardware problem.
    It s hard to tell if it s graphic card issue or display problem.
    But if the display has been replaced a month ago, then I would recommend contacting the guys again. I mean the part could be faulty again and my knowledge, replaced parts are covered by warranty for a short time then perhaps that the warranty would cover it once again if the display is faulty

  • System Restore, now all I have is a white screen

    This a gateway MT6451 laptop with an AMD Turion 64 X 2 Mobile Technology TL - 50 256 KB x 2 L2 Cache, clocked at 1.6 GHz, 1600 MHz processor Hyper Transport technology, running Vista Home Premium. After the reboot, I suspected something was wrong because my computer started acting strange, slow, would not open Internet Explorer without having to restart a couple of times... ect. A friend suggested you do a system restore. I chose the first available date and received a message that the action could not be completed. Then I chose the next earlier and had to leave to go to work. When I got home, there was just a white screen. I restarted and when it got to the point that it should have been at the level of the office, there was just a white screen. I tried to restart once or twice more, same result. I discovered that I can access files via the Task Manager, but it seems I can only access data files. If I try to start a program such as Internet Explorer, I get a message that the file is not found. Thanks for any help, that all the world can offer.

  • BlackBerry Z10 red LED flashes once, then again 6

    Hi there and thank you for your help.

    My son Z10 wouldn't start Friday. When connected to the charger, the red light flashes once and then another 6 times and then repeats the sequence.

    Did someone knows what can be the problem and how to fix it?

    Kind regards

    Deon

    I thank very you much for the replies.

    I managed to fix it by downloading and making a 'Reload' with link BB. Now I think that the software was corrupted after battery ran flat. Is this 'normal' behavior when the battery is flat?

    Kind regards

  • HP dv7-3085dx power light flashes, but the laptop does not work.

    Hello! I have a HP Pavilion dv7-3085dx. It has a hard drive Bay 2.

    Recently, I bought the caddy + cable kit and an Intel SSD. The thing is, when I plug the sata cable to the motherboard for the laptop, and the SSD to it, the laptop does not light. When I press the power button, it flashes once (the power LED flashes once), but the laptop does not light. When I press again, nothing happens.

    I tried to remove the power supply plug, battery and plug it all again, but the power light flashes once (when you press the power button) and no reaction.

    Maybe it's the sata cable: when I remove the new cable and connect the SSD with the sata cable on the 1 hard drive Bay (the cable supplied with the notebook), it works fine. The laptop starts. And when I connect the former sata cable, with the SSD on the second hard drive Bay, it also works.

    I just want to now what is the flashing light means light? Why it does not work with the new cable?

    Thanks in advance! Sorry for my bad English...

    Emilio.

    It is possible that this is a problem with the kit. I would recommend to download and install the latest BIOS update for your laptop, using the download at the following link: http://goo.gl/rbHkg

    If it still doesn't work after that, I would recommend to suppress the kit for a replacement or to try another.

  • I have a HP officejet J6480 all-in-one printer. The screen is white and yellow light flashing

    I have a HP officejet J6480 all-in-one printer. The screen is blank and there is this little yellow light flashes on the Cancel button.  I can not print or fax anything because the screen is empty. Since the light started to Flash the entire printer has not worked. Can someone please HELP! : womansad:

    Well, if you haven't tried this and then create a coercive power reset:

    Do not activate the wide (although you can), remove the power cord at the back of the printer. Wait at least 30 seconds, then reconnect the power cord to the printer. Turn on the printer. If that clears up the flashing light/white screen, then try printing etc...

    If this is not the case, see if something visible is originally the error state such as paper jam, odd items in the printer, nothing fancy. Also try to plug the printer directly into the wall outlet as opposed to a look/power surge Strip, or even try a Jack in another room if it is not successful.

  • Problem with the iPhone OS. Have to restore it several times and it now has white screen flashing with Apple logo

    Got my iPhone SE a little over a month since the Thailand of the Apple Store.

    First he couldn't restore entirely made from a backup so I had to delete all data and content then restored again. Then try to restore from a backup, still have problems (apps froze, failed to synchronize all of the apps, then tried to shutdown phone and glued on white background with the Apple logo).

    Try to third, I put my phone in recovery mode and restore as a new iPhone. All original content is now gone. Should it start again.

    Then small annoying problems occurred. For example, I could not find applications in the App Store, could not download new free applications, could not buy music on the iTunes Store app. It seems that Internet was frozen, when in fact it works always fine when try browsing on Safari. Facebook froze and could not push Home button to close App game graphics making static sound glitches but always disappear when him restart the application. Can't post photos on a social media application because my whole library of photos seems to be empty, when in fact he was always there. When I was taking pictures, the preview images were extremely blurry, and when checked in Photos app there is no trace of this photo that I took. I tried to close all the applications and open it again but the problem still persists. So I close the phone and restart it just to find that it stuck on the white screen with the Apple logo once more. Then, I took the phone to the Apple service provider. They restore the phone as a new iPhone for me and I had to start over once again. Only 4 days after this, my iPhone application suddenly found me a new unlock access code within 60 minutes without reason. I have to reset hard to solve the problem. And after that, the same day, my iPhone starts to blink on and outside and sometimes the white screen with the Apple logo appears.

    Whenever I said my problem of staff Support from Apple or the Apple service provider, they told me that it was a software problem. How can I when I do all these problems again and again from the beginning until now? Can anyone suggest me the right way to solve this problem? What problem do you think it's from? I can't take this anymore. I need a good show, not working iPhone undesirable. I can't keep it restore/reset/reboot over and over again like this. Please, help me.

    Take it to an Apple Store for the assessment of the guarantee.  If you have restored to factory settings, and these problems persist, there is a hardware problem, no matter what you' re said.
