    Green light blinking
    « on: August 05, 2008, 07:50:16 AM »
    I've had some trouble starting my computer recently and the problem seems to be pointing to the power supply box. Whenever I plug in the power supply cord, a green light begins blinking in the power supply box. Does anyone have any idea what this is or how it can be fixed?

      Sorry, the actual problem is that the computer will not turn on at all. Once the power supply cord is plugged in, a green light begins flashing in the power supply box and on the front of the tower the on button(which is usually solid blue when everything is working properly) will blink.

      From what I can tell, this may fix the problem but if we know what computer he has, we might be able to translate the blinking light.

        Maybe we should find out what's going on first before jumping to conclusions.
