Keyboard lights blink, no video
Recently the 2nd computer started to need 2 or 3 tries to boot. The keyboad
lights blink continuously and the screen says "no video signal." Sometimes killing the power and retrying gets it going on the 2nd or 3rd try to today no go. Tried a different video card and didn't get the "no video signal" message (in fact got no video at all) but the keyboard lights were blinking. Once it boots, it runs fine. I know the caps are bulging and one of the voltages fluctuates. Could it be that the m'board has finally given up the ghost? One other thing, even though there's no video, the hard disk light is blinking like there's something going on and the m'board LED reads FF. Thanks. |

With bulging caps on the MOBO surely you already know the answer to your question. See: http://www.badcaps.net/ -- pcbldrNinetyEight |

You guys were right. I guess I was just hoping against hope that it was
something simple. Swapped m'boards and all is well (other than the tedious task of updating the OS after the repair install.) "Lee M." wrote in message . ..
