flashing light in left corner

wetcement · 09-07-2007, 12:03 PM

After playing a game on the computer the computer shut down and now all we have is a blinking light in the left hand corner.

Does anyone have any idea what to check out?

Welcome to TSF!

What motherboard do you have, do you know if the light is coming from the motherboard?
Can it not boot back up? Does it post? etc.

Do you have broadband? If so, is that flashing light anywhere near where you have your cat5 cable plugged in? Is it anywhere near your network card?

And when you say "left hand corner", do you mean the left hand corner of your motherboard, your monitor, or your brain? You failed to mention the location.

the light is flashing on the monitor.

I do not have broadband

I have no idea what motherboard I have.
THIS IS AN EMACHINE

I don't suppose you have a digital camera so that you can take a picture of it?

What happens when you unplug the monitor from the video card (not the power plug)

You can hear the computer booting up it just will not show on the screen

Give the lead to the computer from the monitor a wiggle. =]
