Answer» hi computer world,
I was given a free computer it is a older compaq but not too old, it is a perfect candidate for linux and web PAGE stuff but the first THING that i have to figure out is how to get it to work. When plugged in the power light flashes red, if i hold down the power button for a little while and the then press it again the light turns green for a second and the goes back to flashing red. I know this SOUNDS stupid and I promise i don't make a HABIT of it but i did kinda smack the comp and it fired up at one point but now I cant get it it start again just flash red.Have you removed a side panel to see what all is inside ? ?
With donated MACHINES i find it's best to first give it a good cleaning inside using compressed air and a soft brush and removing and re-seating every component and power connection...
Who knows how long it may have been sitting unused.
Good Luck.thanx for the suggestion i will give it a shot and report back
