Mine does that when it's in stand-by mode. I just push the power button and it comes on....

Assuming you've already tried that....push and hold the power-button down for 5 seconds and the power SHOULD go out. *IF* it does not, then disconnect the power cord in the back for 1min....then reconnect and try to boot. If it *DOES*, then do the same...unplug the power cord for 1min and reconnect and boot.

SOURCE: hp pavillion desktop will not

Step 1 : Turn off the system by pressing the power button for 5 - 10 sec until the power LED is off. Removed all cables including the power cable (Exclude monitor cable and KeyBoard/Mouse).

Step 2 : Press power button for 5-10 sec again to drain fela power.

Step 3 : Reconnect the power cable at the back of the tower/computer and power on the system.

**If the same problem exists, Call HP tech Support (800-474-6836) because there is a high possibility that you have a bad Motherboard or Power Supply on the system.

SOURCE: blinking amber light with green 4 light

If the power light is blinking amber, the computer is receiving electrical power, but an internal power problem might exist.
Try, unplugging the power cable from the pc, and reinsert it, if this does not help try a differnt power outlet, if this dont help, open the computer, take the power Molex conector out of the mother board and try turning it on, if this dont help, take out the Memory modules and reseat them, if this dont work you may want to ring up dell support.

Hope this helps!

SOURCE: computer will not turn on. green light blinking

Try replacing the power supply, a blinking green light usually means the power supply is missing an output voltage. If you do that and you still get a blinking green light then the motherboard will need to be replaced.

Compac computer won't turn on and the power light blinks constantly what can i do to fix this problem

Does it beep? if it does, whats the beep pattern...ie long long short, or short short short

if nothing else, something is causing a short...check the usb ports (real common) the contacts break from wear and short out, have your power supply tested.

Suddenly my hp pavilion a1217n tower won't turn on...the green light is blinking rapidly...

are you referring to the light on the back? if so the power supply has most likely failed, mother board can also cause this issue.

TURNED ON, HEARD A CRACK SOUND, NOW JUST A BLNKING RED LIGHT? PRIOR TO THIS THE COMPUTER WORKED FINE!---MONITOR WORKS ON ANOTHER COMPUTER....I GET NOTHING ON THE SCREEN & THE DISK UNIT DOESN'T...

If the power LED is blinking red, that's usually the PC telling you there is an error. Is it an HP/Compaq? The number of blinks can tell you what the problem is. If you heard a crack sound when you turned it on, I'm willing to bet the power supply went. You can go to the manufacturer's website and look through their Support Information and see what the red LED tells you.
