7275 Blink Codes
I'm trying to find out if there are blink codes for the 7275 tablet. I found a small blurb about the power button lights, but it doesn't say anything about white blinking lights. want to know if the white blinking indicates anything. (example: 2 white blinks versus 5 white blinks when you press power button. Below is the only thing I could find.
| LED status |
What it means |
| Solid White |
The battery is charging. |
| Solid Amber |
The battery is at low level with the tablet on or in a connected standby state - the screen is off but the tablet is still turned on. |
| Off |
The battery is not charging or the battery is fully charged. |
| Flashing Amber |
The battery is at a critical level and does not have enough charge to power on. If the power button is pressed during this state, the LED will turn on for 3 seconds and then turn off. Continue charging the tablet. |

Just about any of these blink codes OTHER than a battery-related one means a bad mainboard.

SCOTTKSHI,
To add to what "ejn63" posted.
NOTE:
The blinking patterns will consist of 2 sets of numbers being represented by (First Group:Amber blinks, Second Group:White blinks)
First Group ; The LED blinks 1 to 9 times followed by a brief pause with LED off at the interval of 1.5 seconds.
(This is in Amber color)
Second Group : The LED blinks 1 to 9 times, that would be then followed by a longer pause before the next cycle starts again at the interval of 1.5 seconds.
(This is in White color)
Example: No Memory detected (2,3), Battery LED blinks two times of amber color followed by a pause, and then blinks three times of white color. The Battery LED will pause for 3 seconds before the next cycle repeat itself again.
The following table depicts the amber and white blinking patterns with possible troubleshooting resolution:
Battery Charge Indicator
A battery/charge LED is co-located with the Power button.
A second charge LED is located in the base near the DC-in to indicate base only charging.
Both LEDs are visible when the lid is closed in clamshell mode.
Solid white — The battery is charging.
Off — The battery is adequately charged (or the computer is turned off).
Solid amber — The battery charge is critically low.

It looks like these troubleshooting codes are for a laptop. Do the same blink codes apply to the tablets also? The reason I ask is because the battery charge indicators are not the same.
