From: jjolly972 on 28 Aug 2006 15:01 I'm stuck working on my boss's relatively new (Jan '06) Dimension E510. The power button flashes amber-orange which the diags say is a power supply or system board issue. They've sent up both the PS and the motherboard and I've replaced them but the flashing amber light remains. Have I misconnected a cable? I'm not a regular visitor here so email replies appeciated!

I'm slow today. So the bad hard drive was causing the flashing amber light? > > Ultimately, Jack's problem was a bad hard drive that was preventing the > system from completing POST. > > He replaced the drive and the system booted to the empty hard disk. > |
