dell orange light

when i try to start my dell computer i sometimes get a orange flashing light and nothing else happens at all then other times it will start right up no problem can anyone tell me what the blainking orange lights mean or a list of what they mean
please dont just guess

what model is it? also, the mobo name and manufacturer would be helpful

i will not see it again till monday but i thing it is a dell dimension 2100 looks like this. it is a older model like 2002-2003 http://www1.ca.dell.com/content/product ... l=en&s=dhs

When my Gateway did that it was because my power supply was faulty.

where is the orange light showing up ??

on your screen
near your power button on the tower ???


if its near the power button on the tower that means the pc is working... witch im sure you already know but if its on the screen it could be that your screen is going to die and you need to get a new one or possibly the graphics card try using another moniter or take out your graphics card and see if it works that way also try using another power supply then figure out what isnt working and hit the company up for a warranty lol

i dont think it comes with a graphics card. its onboard video

yeah i have DELL and sumtimes the light comes up but it only telling you that you need to huck it up 2 a power supply m8.

ya the more and more i here the more i think it is the motherboard or the power box
now it will not even turn on it just sits there and blinks orange

...if the power supply is not hooked up, where is the power coming from to make the orange light come on?

the lights stay on for about 30secs after you pull the plug
but i think i have found the problem it is a bad power suply and not i got to get a new one
