Computer is Blank...
« on: June 05, 2005, 02:04:48 PM »
...I have a gateway Computer, It went to a black screen and whatever I tried it would not come back on... so I unplugged it, probably not the best idea. As when I started it again it came immediately to a black screen and would not do anything else. Also, the light on the startup button is blinking red. Nothing works. help?

Check your manual to see what the red light means... Also, is it red, or more of an amber color?

My manual says nothing about alight, and the light is definitely red, no amber coloring to it.

Can you hear any FANS running? No -> Power unit dead
Did you hear any beeps ? ->count the beep codes

Press the power-on button and hold it in for about 5sec.
