Flashing Blue Light on Karat / No signal to Monitor

Post by DaleVenvertloh »

For a variety of reasons, I have not used my Karat which I purchased in 2014 for several years. Today when I turned it on the main menu failed to come up on the monitor which indicated that there was "no signal." A blue light next to the power button continues to flash off and on. Any suggestions as to the meaning of the blue light and/or how receive a signal on the monitor so I know what I'm dealing with. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

:idea:
Since there are no prior answers... if the topic has not been solved, take a look HERE.

Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge translation plugins should do the job. Feedback if the problem was solved would be nice. :P

This appears to be an epidemic. Start by Replacing your BIOS battery. Even with the machines off this battery can die.

Generally a flashing blue means that the system hasn't started up properly and therefore you won't get a picture on any screen.

This is normally, but not exclusively, due to a power supply failure. The external one is easy to change, as it's external, but there is also a smaller one inside that is more complicated.

I'd suggest contacting your dealer / Macro US and get it looked at.
