CF-30 Battery Light flashing
CF-30 Battery Light flashing
I noticed in the middle of the night that one of my CF-30's green battery light was flashing and so I plugged it in and it's still flashing but the TB does not start or even go to the BIOS screen. Anyone know what's going on?
CF-30C with standard keyboard and Windows XP.
CF-30K x 2, both running Windows 7.

Re: CF-30 Battery Light flashing
I've read in the manual that "In high temperature mode, the battery pack is discharging the power to 80% of normal temperature mode. Do not remove battery pack in this status" which would make sense if I could boot the TB but the unit is unresponsive.
I did remove the battery and tried it in another TB and it works, this CF-30 appears to have gone to TB heaven as even with no battery and no HD in it does not POST any more, I expect the flashing light was a cry for help from the battery "Get me out of here"

Do the power pull reset thingy.
1. Pull battery.
2. Dis-connect power supply.
3. Hold switch on for 20 seconds...repeat several times.
4. Plug in power supply. (not the battery yet)
5. [F2] [F9] [F10] (boot to bios, set to defaults, save)

Hi Shawn, tried that just now. After doing it, using a known good power supply the power "Z" light next to battery light does not illuminate. If I cycle the power on switch the HD light flashes once only (does not flash on subsequent switch cycle) - I will try the power pull thingy a few times with hope in my heart but I fear the worst for this patient.
It solves a problem though, this is a CF-30C and I have CF-30K with no caddy, so there will be a heart transplant with no extra cost to me and eBay will get a parts machine.

Try first to replaced the ram with a good known RAM before you go anywhere. One slot at a time. Pull out known ad on hardware like wireless card, media drive, harddrive and etc.

What he said. Sounds like a bout I had with ram last week and several other times.
When you find the bad ram break it in half....that particular stick gave me trouble before.![:D :D](./images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
