PC Error Help Part 2

[Mike20PR]

well, another situation where i cant explain what happened or whats going on.... well ima do my best to explain the situation, like 5 days ago out of nowhere after of using the PC no problem the night before, i tried to boot it u the next morning only for it to barely respond. the tower which usually glows a green backlight when its booted started just flashing a orenge one on the power button, the left usb port and the port 2 and 3 lights continuasly, it just flashes and flashes doing nothing. the fan doesnt come on and the display does nothing, its like its refusing to boot or something.... i attached a pic so you can see where im saying that the flashing orange backlight comes on to see it it means something... antyone have any clue on whats going on here? at first i thought it was the dust jamming the fan or something but i opened it up and cleaned everything out and still no dice...

i dunno what to tell you mike, you run into a harsh string of bad luck with your electronics lol.

Just doing a bit of reading (yay google) and apparently that orange flashing light indicates a hardware failure of some sort. Usually the power supply, the hard drive, or the motherboard. If you turn it on and the fans start to turn for a second, then you can rule out the power supply. To see if it's the hard drive then unplug the hard drive and see if the computer will start up without it (obviously not into windows, that's contained on the hard drive). If it still doesn't boot, most likely there's something wrong with your motherboard and you should see about warranty replacement and whatnot.

mike.. google is gonna help you out big time.. give us the model number of the PC and im sure there is an answer... if its a hard drive (no biggie), is its the power supply (no biggie), if its the mother board, a little bit more than a biggie... hit me up with the model #
