Flashing Blue Light on Karat / No signal to Monitor

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.

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.

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.
