Hi,

Check if you have RAM installed or replace your RAM modules with a known working one. Start with that. If it behaves the same, then remove the HDD and CD drive and try power ON. If you can access the WiFi card and modem card, try removing them also.

By the way, when did this start? Any recollection how this started?
