Everytime I switch my refurbished desktop, the 'on' button keeps blinking. Why is that?

It sounds like it is staying in Standby Mode.\nRight Click Desktop> Screen Saver> Power>   System Stanby and Hibernates to (NEVER).\n\nGo to to system Setup. Restart your system and press F2.\nand set power Management.\nHarry

I think it's F8 not F5, I would keep hitting F8 repeatedly after hitting the power button and a menu should come up on how you want to boot up.

I don't know why it does that.  Have you tried to click the refresh button?

Try clicking start > control panel > mouse.  When the dialog box opens you should have a Hardware tab. Click on that and towards the middle of the box you should see the device status (if it's working properly.)  You should also see a properties button. If you click on that another dialog box opens with a Driver tab.  Click on that and you can check for an updated device driver.  If all else fails, you can use the Troubleshoot button to see if you can isolate the problem.\n\nplrr

Is it new? Did it used to work and then quit?\n\nIf it's new, try double checking jumper settings.\n\nIf not, return it.

Try powering up without the battery fitted if that is possible.\nI had a similar problem with a Toshiba. The battery was so dead that it effected the power to the on switch.

It could be a 'wake on lan' event.  Depending on your computer, OS, and network adapter, search for that to find out how to switch it off.

Sometimes it is inconsitent power or dirty power (uneven spikes and dipps),  it may blink when someone else in the house turns something on.  They sell a device at most computer stores that give you even clean power.   Just explain your problem.

Try hitting the refresh icon to the left of the "Home" icon...

Press the Ctrl, Alt, and Del keys simultaneously.\nPress them again.\nThat is called a "hot reboot" because the power is not turned off.\n\nShut down your computer.\nStart it up again.\nThat is called a "cold reboot" because the power is turned off.

Try  the reset buttons.  There is one on the mouse and one on the receiver.  Press both of them and see if that helps.\n\nAlso make sure your batteries are good.

Black--or blank ?  \n\nIf it's black, then It sounds as if the power saver function might be on the fritz.\nUsually, striking a key or wiggling the mouse brings the last image on the screen back up.  Does the monitor have a small light on the front that is green when the screen is active? If that light turns yellow when the screen goes black, that tells you that the power saver function is on.  \n\nIf it's blank [not black], then I don't know what to tell you.  Call tech support and try not to lose your temper with the overseas representatives.

if the monitor stays on, but the lcd isn't, then go into the bios settings, it is set to crt only maybe, then there should be a func key to switch it back and forth, have found that to be the problem also
