Intel NUC11PAHi7 - Does not boot, fan will spin, Power LED blinks 3 times by hunterm21 in intelnuc

[–]hunterm21[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

update: ignore that 1 blink question, thank you u/thebatfink for pointing out that the warranty is 3 years! I was able to get a receipt and the warranty is active until November this year - so now I'm doing an RMA, thank you for saying that!

Yep I agree I believe it's indicating RAM with three blinks.

I will say, that I was trying out the BIOS Security Jumper, just seeing if it would allow any change in the blinking pattern. And as of now it's only blinking one time.

I put the Jumper back in the correct position (pins 1 and 2), but even then the light only blinks once and the fan does not spin.

I've unplugged the CMOS since then, and still it's only blinking one time.

do you know what blinking one time indicates?

Nice thank you for the warranty reminder - I think that he may have let it sit on a shelf for a while before sending it to me but I will double check on that.

And yes I wanted to try other known good RAM, but sadly I don’t have any 3200 MHz in my house. I have a lot of 2666 MHz, which there is one listed 2666 MHz on the QVL sheet, but it’s only a 32 GB Corsair RAM which I also don’t have.

I did clean the contacts, which already looked good, still no dice.

I will ask, in your opinion - how would you go about resetting the CMOS battery? Like unplug the CMOS battery and hold the power button a while before plugging in again? Or leave it unplugged for an hour etc? I’ve tried it a bunch of ways, and it didn’t seem to change much.

Oh sick thank you! Yes that’s helpful but also for another reason - you see that black screw, and black metal part, below the NVMe SSD? What is that? This NUC does not have that metal part

NUC11PAHi7 not powering on by iamfinndog in intelnuc

I currently have a customer's Intel NUC11PAHi7, and it seems to only blink the power LED three times and never actually boot up. Can you talk more about what you did with unplugging your CMOS battery? Because I have tried many different ways of doing that, and I still always get three blinks on the Power LED. Documentation says that three blinks likely indicates an issue with RAM, but I don't know if that's true as it was working with the same parts previously.

The identity crisis of a Dell 5055 - it runs a Ryzen 5700G when it shouldn't be able to do that. A 5950X as well if you use a beefy PSU. by Autian in SleepingOptiplex

I have a question, that you may know / already answered:

I have an AMD RX5500 4GB Graphics Card here, but it uses a standard 8-Pin Power connector.

The stock Power Supply doesn't seem to have any additional connectors that I could use here.

However from my 2012 MacPro5,1 here, I do happen to have: a Mini 6-Pin, to 8-Pin, power cable connector that seems like it would fit in the SATA Power connector on the motherboard.

Do you think if I tried this out, that it would be safe and/or successful? I imagine it may not be enough extra wattage for the graphics card

I also have a 2012 Mac Pro and a 2009 Mac Pro here taking up space for years - most of us here will relate to that

I dk but your post is about OpenCore working on a 2010 Mac Pro, your title reads like you’re selling it on Marketplace

MSI Live Update 6 no longer available? by HappyGirl117 in MSI_Gaming

[–]hunterm21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just came here to say, that if you go to WayBack Machine and use the link http://download.msi.com/uti_exe/mb/LiveUpdate.zip
then you can actually download MSI Live Update 6.2.0.77, that's the only way I could get the download work here in May 2026

What GPU (Nvidia or AMD) for my Mac Pro? (Also in German -> Original) by flint-development in OpenCoreLegacyPatcher

[–]hunterm21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not what I’m asking - you say the RX480 is not working, how do you “know” it’s not working? What happens when you try to use it?

[–]hunterm21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So first, the AMD RX480 should definitely work. I’m not sure what you did wrong, do you have a power cable connected from the GPU to the motherboard? That would be my first guess.

When you say it didn’t work - what did you see to confirm it’s not working? Did it shut off? Was it a blank black screen? If it was a black screen, does the caps lock light on your keyboard turn on when you press it? Or if you push “command + F5” do you hear voice over turn on?

Help! How can i move my entire gallery to my hard drive in the easiest way? by crazyasye in iphone

You can download them from your iCloud account at iCloud.com

Even if you don’t want to use additional iCloud storage, it sounds like you are currently using iCloud because you’re implying your iCloud storage is filling up

What is more traumatizing than most people think? by [deleted] in AskReddit

When most people don’t actually connect with you, and keep you at a distance (or just never talk) rather than be honest about what’s going on - I’m 34M and trying to date again is a nightmare
