Thanks for confirming though! 0 Jalapeno OP Best Answer knappert Mar 13, 2014 at 1:48 UTC Number 3 - Blinking Amber - "A possible motherboard failure has occurred" test the power supply voltage power rails, if it tests fine, look at the capacitors on the motherboard for visual failure. 3 Tabasco OP VooDude Mar 13, 2014 at 3:11 UTC Just a note for the above comment.
