Yellow flashing lights. Help.

I received recently a model of i5 alpha Alienware for Christmas and the day, it was great, it worked perfectly and everything I wanted to do it worked fine. But after the first day, when I go to power on the alpha led on the front (International head) is flashing 5 times in a loop. Anyone know what 5 flashes means and if I have to send it for repair?

Hello

The 5 flashes may indicate a failure in the CMOS battery or, possibly, the card mother. Try to do a power drain, follow the steps below to do a power drain.

  • Power the system off and unplug the power cord.
  • Disconnect all external devices (mouse, keyboard, etc.)
  • Press and hold the power button for 1 minute.
  • Connect the new and turn on the system.

If the same problem persists, we recommend you to send the system for repairs. For assistance with repairs, send me your serial number in a PM.

  • D4160 arrow flashing light yellow

    I tried to solve this 'problem' for a while now. There is that nothing jammed in the printer, I put in the new document, taken out and put back in ink, removed the back and back and shut down several times. I downloaded the 'Diagnostics' thing and he says everything is working... It is obviously not if I can't print.

    Power button is lit, but the yellow arrow flashes.

    Someone at - IT suggestions?

    Thank you!

    I just had this problem too.  An answer on another forum suggested holding down while pressing the arrow button 10 times power button and then release both buttons.  This started a test print, so I knew that the printer was still working.  Unfortunately, the fire arrow flashing does not stop.  Then, I opened the hood, removed the black ink cartridge and closed the cover.  The light has stopped flashing.  I cleaned the contacts on the cartridge and erased the bottom with a paper towel to check that the ink was flowing.  I put the cartridge back in and flashing light came back.  Put in a new black cartridge and the light has stopped flashing so the problem was the black cartridge.  It's a cartridge from Office Max 98.  Thought I would try it to save a few bucks, but I've never had this happen with a HP cartridge so I guess I'll go back to HPs.

  • help with flashing lights

    tried to turn on my 4 k xbr65x900a and all I get is 4 flashing red flags and rehearsals flashing all the seconds. At this point I can just unplug the tv to get rid of the flashing. any help will be great. 4 k tv bought in November of 2013

    You posted the same question in two different threads.

    A possible soluition could be a full factory reset, since you said you tried to unplug and it does not solve the problem.

  • All my Airport extended expresses abandoned their Wi - Fi connection to my base station can the airport extreme.  In other words, the light goes from green to yellow flashing and I can't reconnect.  All ideas

    All my express airport extended (one for music, one for the printer and one to extend range) lost their connection at the same time.  In other words, they all went from green to yellow flashing.  I was not able to reconnect.  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Your first step is always power off the entire network... what... and then restart in good order.

    Modem... Wait 2 min

    Main router... Wait 2 min

    Extenders... Wait 2 minutes.

    Printer and other clients... wait that see everything toward the top.

    If this fails, then you need to find how the network is down... Connect the modem to the computer by ethernet... didn't you internet... If Yes... then try to the main router... If so, try again the next step... When you find the scene of the breakdown, reset it to factory and redo the configuration.

  • Satellite Pro A10 - continuous flashing light (orange)

    Hi Maybe someone can help, I spilled ribena on my laptop (stupid I know) and now it used to power over wheter I use the AC adapter AND battery, or a single. in the dc - in light flashes orange. I was wondering if any1 can suggest some b4 help that consider a shop

    Thanks in advance
    Nikki

    Hello

    Well, if the AC adapt is plugged and the yellow/orange flashing light, so it could be a power supply error.
    If the unit works only with the battery and flashing light orange so it could be a low capacity battery or the machine is not plugged in.
    I think you should contact the service partner to solve this error.

    Good bye

  • Steam Machine yellow flashing of death

    I had steam i7 yesterday, and he has already stopped working. I've not owned a console for the Gamecube, and I don't know if I'm so excited about a new possession since the 1990s, if I'm kind of upset by the present.

    First time I lit it upward, it worked fine. Download some updates, began the game download, then I hit the power button. It installed some updates and turns off.

    Second time, the yellow power flashed light in sets of five flashes. I couldn't find much about what it means, but someone suggested to do a drain of energy, so I did. It worked and I downloaded a game, another download started and played the first match for a while.

    Third time, I lit it, it worked fine. I started it on another download, turned off the TV, and I went to work, hoping that this would be done when I'm home.

    When I got home, it was off. A little painful at first, but I found it turned off my roommate, assuming that I left it on by accident. I then tried to turn it on, but received the yellow light blinking in sets of five times. I tried a drain of power a few times with no luck. I took the power supply out of the surge protector and plugged directly in wall, and who has not helped either.

    What does it mean when it flashes on sets of five? What could I do to fix this?

    Hello

    Five lightning could indicate a lack of CMOS battery, or a motherboard failure. It may be better to send to its repair center to diagnose and repair the problem. For help to do this, send me a PM with your serial number.

  • I have flashing lights and impossible to turn on or off.

    I have flashing lights and can't turn on or off.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hi P a-t

    I understand that you have lights flashing and the printer will not turn on or off.

    I'd do a power reset to see if that will solve the problem. When the printer is still lit, disconnect the power cable to the back of the printer, if the printer has external power supply with a detachable power cord unplug for 15 seconds and reconnect it. Then, disconnect the power cable from the wall outlet. Wait 10 seconds and reconnect the power cable to the wall outlet first, then the back of the printer and turn on again.

    Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector)

    Please provide the following information so that I can better help you.

    What operating system do you use?
    Here is a document to your operating system Windows.

    Here is a document to verify your operating system Mac.

    Please provide the name and the product number of your printer.
