Computer off, power light blinking

[vish786]

check ur laptop manual for different blinking status/troubleshooting indications... AFAIK its blinks when in standby mode.

yes, the power light is supposed to blink when in stnd by mode. but his prob was obviously not that since the comp is supposed to wake up when u press the power button...

I think u didn't read all my posts. I have a desktop, not a laptop.

Correct.

Any suggestion, solutions please.

Why don't you try replacing the SMPS? This might be at fault. For your hard disk, time to get a new one. Your HD is taking it's last breath. It might crash anytime and your data might not be recoverable. So, take care!

Ok, I'll get my SMPS checked.
As for my HDD, the problem was with IDE cable which turned out to be faulty.
I replaced it & all the HDD issues are gone.

Pretty late to post a reply but will still do.

The problem was with SMPS.
It's fan, capacitor & a few PCB's had gone nuts.
Got the SMPS repaired, problem gone.

Thanks everybody for u'r help.
