I'm having problems with my other computer. It is a Dell Dimension 2250 series. It will not turn on. I believe it has somehting to do with the motherboard.

There are 4 green lights labeled A, B, C, and D on the back of the computer that are usually lit, but now there is only one, and the computer only makes a beeping sound when you turn it on. It is one long beep and then one short beep.

Any ideas?

Hi,
The 4 lights on the back of the PC are diagnostic lights, depending which one is lit will tell you what the problem is. The beeps are also for diagnostic purposes to tell you what the problem is with the pc.
You should be able to get the beep codes and meaning of the diagnostic lights on the back from the dell support web site.
