Blinking power light on powerboard /6842pem/goes into standby mode

Your Gateway laptop comes with a series of LED lights that alert you to the state of your computer. You'll notice there are blue, purple and red lights that either blink or display solidly. Each light, blinking or solid, has a different meaning. The blue blinking light on your laptop indicates that it is in Standby mode. Your laptop goes into Standby when you close its lid without shutting down the computer. To turn this light off, you'll need to take the computer out of Standby mode, and if you want to ensure that the blinking blue light does not return, shut down the computer after each use.

Open the lid of your Gateway laptop and press the power button. Once Windows loads, enter your password if required. The blue light will no longer be blinking because the computer is no longer in Standby mode. Shut the laptop off when you finish using it rather than simply closing the lid to stop the blue light from blinking again. Click "Start" from your Windows desktop and click "Shut down." Change your computer's power settings to keep if from going into Standby mode when you close the lid if you'd rather not shut down your computer every time you use it. Click "Start" and click "Control Panel." Click "System and Security" and then click "Power Options." Click "Choose what closing the lid does" from the list of options on the left side of the window. Select "Hibernate" from the drop-down lists under "On Battery" and "Plugged In." Click "Save Changes." Your laptop will now bypass Standby mode when you close the lid and it will enter Hibernate mode instead. Hope it helps.

Usually Sony and LG Blinking Codes are the same. Here is what I have.

• Unit is dead, No blinks - Problem in the standby power section. Might check fuse,
  
• Continuous blink once a second, no pausing - No reply from the jungle IC301 (data bus is busy, shorted to ground, or held high), IK video path is defective.
  
• One blink - not used for the self-diagnosis
  
• Two blinks - B+ over current protection (OCP), unit goes to the standby mode then displays the 2 blink fault. Could be a short in the power supply of any of the circuits.
  
• Three blinks - B+ over voltage protection (OVP), unit goes to the standby mode then displays the 3 blink fault. This is also a problem in the power supply circuit,
• Four blinks - No vertical Deflection (V STOP), Screen goes to a single horizontal line then the video signal muted.
  
• Five blinks - AKB circuit (automatic kine bias), the timer/standby indicator blinks for about 30 seconds then goes to the self-diagnosis function. Something is wrong with the video. In addition, unit could be in IK blanking, try turning up screen slightly.
  
• Six blinks - No Horizontal (H STOP), no raster, goes to the blinking self-diagnosis function immediately.
  
• Seven blinks - High voltage shutdown. The high voltage has exceeded 33k and the unit goes immediately into safety shutdown. Check power supply regulation and horizontal circuits.
  

• Eight blinks - Problem with the audio (AUDIO), unit goes to standby and blinks the self-diagnosis code.

• Nine blinks - Panel Module Error or Thermal Error. If it is intermittent 9 blinks, meaning sometimes the TV comes on and other times you get flashing Make sure the regulator is -12 or -13 (negitive).

• Ten blinks - Check Q8014 and Q8013 for shorts, leakage, or bad solder connections on the " D" board. If the transistors are bad, check R8051 and IC8005, also on the "D" board.

B+ over voltage protection (OVP), unit goes to the standby mode then displays the 3 blink fault. This is also a problem in the power supply circuit, check T603 and R672.
Have you set the output voltage correctly?

The issue is the powerboard is not going into staby mode, unfortunatly this will need repair if its under warranty this repair would be covered. Now there is no real issue here if it does not go into standby but to save on those eletricty bills i would simply unplug it anyhow. The issue and reason why products have a stamdby mode is for auto timers and record timers things like that. What happends is the power supply inside is not going into its standby mode and the reason behind this is a defective relay.

I could get techincal and down to componet level but I will loose you in the tech mist. Quite simple here get it repaired or deal with it until it finally goes out. The power supply is on its last leg.

Thanks

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/edwy_1a56970cf1ea4620

Depends on how many times it blinks,just count the blinks Example: if it blink 2 times then pauses and blink 5 times then the code would be 25 and so on

Once you have this code,please post it.

2 blinks is +B OCP protection. The manual states "Short circuit of power supply system in each circuit." and "Goes to the standby mode. Short circuit of +B line"

It happened to me.. a FAx to Enrique. in California.
