Re: Solid amber light

Welcome to D-A-L.

The first thing to check is your power to the wall outlet where your machine is plugged in.

If that's fine, check your power cord from the wall outlet to the machine.

If that's fine, (and this is a desktop machine), check your power cables from the internal power supply to the motherboard.

If that's fine, obtain a decent power supply tester from a computer store to check your machines power supply. (Don't buy the cheapest, expect probably $25.00 to $35.00 US. Some just give you coloured LEDS to indicate GOOD/BAD. Get one with +/- voltage variants.)

Post back with your results and any further questions.
