can you get to your (my computer icon or were its saying device drives) when you plug your simpletech go and see if its showing up in there if it is you might be able to click on it and sent short cut to your desk top.if not let me no.

not recommended but yes it might just be a loose connection or dry joint, just be carefull there are live capacitors inside which might shock you

You need to enter your pre-Windows boot startup screen and set (at a minimum) the date and time. All the data that your battery powered is now gone, so you need to re-configure your BIOS.

Entering System Setup:
1. Turn on (or restart) your computer.
2. When the blue DELL logo appears, press <F2> immediately.

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.

log out and log in agian and it will reconize the disc again and from there you can eject it ive had that problem too

I just called the help desk. MSDC and a blinking red light means that it is charging. It takes 6 hours to charge and you are not to take disconnect it from the USB until it is fully charged. Once it is charged the blinking light will turn green.... not sure whether it will still be blinking or not. This is what the lady on the phone told me so I haven't been able to try it out yet, but I will update if I call again.

If the POWER Button on the TOWER is blinking AMBER (Yellow) then the most likely failure point is the POWER SUPPLY in the Tower.

My NOKIA N70 blue light on the top is not blink

i found the fix for it. u first must turn the headset off. then hold the power/talk (same button) for 5 seconds or until the headset makes a weird beeping noise not the same noise as powering on. the headset light will blink as the headset light is blinking have the phone discover the headset. it asks for a pin number the pin number is four zeros 0000. and thats it u are all set. i couldn't believe there is no place on the internet to tell u this i had to call lg corporate office.
