Power Light Blinking
I turned off the computer on Friday night because I knew the storm was coming and didn't want to have problems. The computer is plugged into a surge protector. After the electric came back on the power light is blinking I have tried unplugging, holding the light/start button in for 30 seconds, things I found on another link from this site. I have the HP Pavillion a518x. I need help on "waking this computer up" Please if anyone knows, I'd appreciate the help.

Re: Power Light Blinking
Unfortunately, your power supply is now probably 'toast'. Surge suppressors are usually not up to the task of defending against lightning. Next time unplug the computer (and the surge suppressor) from the wall before the storm hits.
Here is a link to the procedure you should follow to isolate the problem:

Re: Power Light Blinking
When I look at the symptoms youâ ve wrote, you may need to replace the motherboard as well.
Prepare for that as well. It may cost you little bitâ ¦
But you will never lose your data for sure, I recommending you to go for a HP authorize service provider

Re: Power Light Blinking
My son's friend builds computers and is going to help me to custom build a computer. We are hoping the I did not loose the hard drive since quickbooks is on this computer. I have had no luck trying any suggestions previously mentioned and I just can't seem to figure out how to wake the computer up.
Thanks Again to all who responded!
