The unit keeps freezing up

I bought this thing online, it powers on, but then freezes up. the power indicator will stay on even if the unit is off, it'll say it recording, then not recors a second of video, even though your memory shows that you are using it. I press the reset button, sometimes it'll work, for a few seconds, but then it'll just freeze up again.

Yep! the SD card was full. I deleted a few movies and then recorded again without the camera freezing so it worked for me at least Thanks!

    Te problem is often causes by invalid file name syntax if you add extra reserved characters such as period or full stops like you are writing the file name with english gramer. Then basically the camera won;t be able to read the file format and will throw up errors sadly this is only a small operating system and does not have all the functionality and error checking of a full computer system. Sjust check your file names first.

Hi,
Take out memory stick from camera and check does it still freeze?

Sunbeam chest freezer model # sbcf7wbx

The Instruction Manual for your Sunbeam Chest freezer may be found online in PDF at the following link:

http://mcappliance.com/document/SBCF5WBX.pdf

See Page 5 for information on the lights:

The "POWER" light (Green) indicates that the freezer is properly connected to the electrical power.
The "RUN" light (Red) will not illuminate when the unit is operating below freezing.
The "RUN" light will illuminate when the temperature inside the unit increases above freezing. Please be advised that the "RUN" light may come on for a period of time when the lid is opened, when new items are stored inside the unit or when the lid is forced open by irregular contents.
Do not call for service unless the "RUN" light has remained on for 6 hours or more. If this light stays on continuously for a period of 6 hours, please contact our Customer Service Dept. to consult with a representative at 877-856-0202 or visit our website to request warranty service at www.mcappliance.com.

I keep waking up freezing because i dont know how to programme the timer on my unit. i bought it 2nd hand and it came with no manual. please halp before i die of exposure :)

If you dont have the manual its going to be difficult for me to explain what to do. But for now what you can do is move the up and down arrow up or down to what temperature you want, then look for a button that says HOLD hit that and the temperature should stay the same so you dont freeze to death. Also are you sure you have it wired correctly.
R=24v power
Y= cooling
G= fan
W=heat

Every time i start playing a game, about one minute into it, the game freezes. the screen stays, no sound, no error code. the tray still can come out and only the power symbol (no controller indicators) is...

This is called lockup aka freezing. The problem is
caused by a open connection from the C.P.U. to the
G.P.U. and it should happen even on the dashboard
with out a game being played.

The Fix is to have both the G.P.U. and the C.P.U. reflowed
and properly clamped. cost 50.00-80.00 .

check to see if it locks up ( freezes on the menu screen after
10-15 min ) just to confirm my suspicions.


if you have any questions ,feel free to ask

Am I supposed to turn off the quick freeze once the deep freezer is cold?

http://www.mcappliance.com/document/MCCF5WBX.pdf
i read the entire manual and even type in the words "quick freeze" in pdf. find space and it is not in there.
heres the link read it for yourself
it only mentions green light and red light.
The “POWER” light (Green) indicates that the freezer is properly connected to the electrical power.
The “RUN” light (Red) will not illuminate when the unit is operating below freezing.
The “RUN” light will illuminate when the temperature inside the unit increases above freezing. Please
be advised that the “RUN” light may come on for a period of time when the lid is opened, when new
items are stored inside the unit or when the lid is forced open by irregular contents.

I just purchased a pre owned xbox360 and got it home. Connected it to my none HD tv. upon powering the unit on it keeps freezing. I purchased a 20GB HD with the unit. I have not put the unit online as of...

Unfortunately if the xbox is freezing, this is usually an early sign of the 3 red lights error, commonly called the RROD (Red Ring Of Death). This may not be the case necessarily, but it is a common indication. The only thing I can recommend is to keep the box well cooled, heat is a major factor in the xbox freezing up. Put it out in the open (not in an entertainment center) and possibly put it on a laptop cooler pad. I don't recommend the enermax cooler, they have been known to fry xbox motherboards in the past.

If you do get the three flashing red lights, call Microsoft at 1-800-4MY-XBOX. If the box wasn't registered to the previous owner, you may be eligible for the warranty.

Hi my fridge freezes every thing even at it's

your thermostat is bad, what it does it sense the temperature set buy the control setting, once it goes bad it does not recognize the temperature hot or coold and the unit keep running and freezes everything. thermostat work like the therometer switch, when it reach certain temperature it cut off.

Keeps freezing

Sounds like motherboard problems, but not 100% pointing to that. If you have the knowledge to do so - run a linux boot cd (can be found on a lot of PC magazine DVDs) and see if it crashes with that as well.

Other things to check are the heat your laptop is outputting, check for any burning smells from where the airflow comes out of the laptop, check that your power cable for the laptop is not faulty.

This is a pretty indefined problem as there are many factors that could cause this. Hope I helped.

Wii's quantum of solace errors goeeting online and single player

This is what I had to do:
After it froze up, I turned off the wii by holding the power button for approx. 10 seconds. Then, I powered it back up and started Quantome of Solace. After loading my profile, instead of selecting 'continue', I selected 'chapter select' and it let me start from the chapter it was freezing on. It did not freeze this time during the intro movie. Hope that helps!!!
