Bestec ATX-250-12Z Rev.C Green LD starts to blink

I have a ATX-250-12Z Rev.C on my computer. As soon as I connect the power cable the green LED starts to blink. I'm not able to start the computer.Is there some internal supervision in the PSU that starts the LED to blink? The computer is a Compaq Presario 8000.

Most computer testing facilities will test your current power supply for free. A replacement is very inexpensive to replace. Bestbuy, MicroCenter, small computer shops and buy replacement from Amazon.com, newegg.com.. Just make sure you have the correct information for your replacement. The model number on the power supply would be your best bet in most cases. Good luck and have a great day. I buy power supplies as low as $15 dollars Generic

I have already replaced mant Bestec ATX-250-12E power supplies because they have an internal failure. Consider yourself lucky if the thing doesn't power up your computer because it has a problem of imposing the +12 volt line onto the +5 Volt line then blowing out the mother board. Sometimes you aren't so lucky because once the damage is done then it is to late to just simply replace that piece of junk. I was lucky with my daughters E-Machine because if she tried pressing the start switch on the front of her computer it would sometimes come on and sometimes not. She just mentioned this to me and I immediately replaced that Bostec ATX-250-12E before it could do any damage to her computer. If anyone has an older E-Machine or an older Gateway machine then it would be a good idea to see if it uses that Bostec-ATX-250- 12E. If it does then go order another power supply, anything but a Bostec, and instead of a 250 watt order a 300 watt or better. I hope that this has helped those that might have this problem before it destroyes *********** boards. Marty

SOURCE: the pc wont power up and the green led on the PSU

Most likely yes.

I would also reccomend an upgrade to that PSU when replacing it.

Something in the 450-Watt neighborhood is usually a bit more robust.

SOURCE: I have a burned out Bestec ATX-250-12z power supply

Hello there:
That is a pretty good choice for a replacement you just have to make sure that it will fit exactly like the old one did and that the cables are exact and have the same hookups as the old ones do ok but you should be fine from there ok
Hope this is very helpful for you
Best regards michael

My computer will not turn on we had a power cut and the computer was running at the time power didnt come back till morning now and there is a blinking green light that use to be a solid green light

The power supply is very inexpensive and can most likely be bought from any of your computer retailers, Amazon - Just make sure to confirm the right model type of power supply. BEST to have it tested before replacing it. To make sure that is the issue.. Many computer shops will test for free.

My Bestec ATX-300-Z cannot power up. When try to power it up after unplugging from wall outlet, it quickly show green led and the led goes off. I unplugged every connection to the computer, yet it cannot...

I may be wrong, but, seeing that it is only a 250watt power supply, its was probably cheap. NEVER buy cheap power supplies for PC's. Weak PS's can cause damage to multiple components on a computer.

My power supply is blinking green light and my PC has no power

plug your pc directly to your wall outlet and see if it turns on. If it works, then the problem is your power supply. If power supply has a reset button, press it and try again. If pc does not turn on when plugged to wall outlet, then power supply for pc may be out.
