Blinking LED light on power supply
And pc doesn't Powrr up
Do you know the make and model of the power supply?
This is not necessarily a power supply issue - it could be a motherboard/cabling issue. Does the motherboard have any LEDs on it? Are any of them lit?

This is an old PC Id like to resurrect ......
I have another old PSU from another old PC so I swapped it into the ? PC as a test.
Looked good initially and PC powered up..happy days... then PC powered down, 2 mins later bang! and a smell of smoke.
So do I have a really faulty mother board or a dodgey "newish tester" PSU
Im wondering if its worth testing another PSU incase the PC eats that as well...

i just replaced the capacitors (11x) in a led screen - a bit work, but no problem
If it will not power up, replace the power supply. I assume it was all working before.
