Motorola DCT700 won't power up.

I unplugged the unit (AC line) and when I plug it back in the power light flashes amber, then red, then no light. Can't find this in any trouble shooting info. Any ideas?

    SOme more details: The transformer was quite warm. The results were the same whether the cable lead was attached to the unit or not.

Its working correct... thats sounds normal

now you just need to wake it up. turn it on using the remote supplied by your cabe operator. if anything it may be your remote that isn't working. does a "cbl" light or anything light up on the remote when you press the cable box power button? if not try to find out how to put it in cable mode and try again.

wish i had more info

good luck

Amber light is on

Unplug the power cord and the USB cable from the rear of your printer. Wait one (1) minute. Plug the power cord back in. Plug the USB cable back in. Re-start your computer. In most cases, this will solve the problem. Good luck.

Red power light flashes on an LG 8000BTU AC

Called LG. It's an alarm that's preset on your unit to chime at regular intervals (300-500 running hours) to remind you to clean your filter. Turn the unit off, unplug it, wait a few minutes, and turn it back on. All done.

Wii won't turn on.

Reset the AC adapter by following steps below.

1. Unplug the Wii AC adapter at both ends (from the back of the
Wii system and from the wall outlet or power strip).

2. After you've waited a full 2 minutes, plug the AC adapter back in on both ends and check to see if the power light comes on.

ok, does your remote have lights that flash when you hit buttons?
for example pushing volume lights up tv. if the cable light doesn't flash then it may need reprogrammed. if none of this applies to your remote... sorry

Hi.

Take out the AC power jack and then remove the laptop battery. Plug AC power back in and see if the laptop will turn on. If it turns on let it boot the operating system and then shut down as normal, remove the power cord and reinsert the battery and again see if it will switch on. If it does then there has been a glitch with the battery. If it doesn't then there is a problem with the battery.

If the laptop won't switch on either with or without the battery then there is a possibility that the motherboard has developed a problem.


Good luck.

E system 1212 Laptop won't switch on. Power

Laptops are so integrated that usually a system failure that involves power issues such as in your case where you cant get it turn on with anything on the screen mean the mainboard (motherboard) is damaged. This usually leads to buying a new laptop or paying for the board to be replaced which usually costs as much as the laptop.
