How a POST card works is that as the computer boots it first runs a POST 'script', going through each individual component and checking it off as it passes... This all happens before you receive the prompt to boot to the BIOS (usually the first splash screen). If the computer shuts down during the post script IT may not display the error code correctly. But if that's the case you probably don't have enough power or something is shorting out on your board.

There have been many posts like mine, but I chose to ignore them. I was wrong. The light will shut off after seven seconds. I learned the hard way. The product is defective. Look at the other reviews. Good luck if you purchase one!

You have to hold the power button down for a few seconds for it to boot. Try it at least twice. I remember once I held the button down but it didn't boot. I let go and tried it again. And it worked.

Mine was a little slow to start accepting commands at the beginning, but I just worked with it awhile and it started working. All I can say is keep trying, and try unplugging and plugging the power cord for the main unit also. If that doesn't work the only option is to return it for another one. Does the lights come on in the viewing window when plugged in, you should get something.

I have had this problem a few times. After the cussing and the startle response have settled down, I slapped it back on and pushed it extra hard, that seems to work. I also noticed that the little light on the front never comes on, so I'm wondering if the unit is simply defective.

The ones mine came mine with turn on right away, but I haven't used them that much yet. Sorry you are having problems. I would call Hunter and see what they say or can do about it.

i just took mine into the shop for the same problem, very irritating hearing it turn on and off all the time just to start, it would take like 10 minutes for my tv to finally turn on, the technician at the shop said the power supply was bad and i wasn't getting enough power to the main board to turn the TV on, 200 bucks later, I am happy, fix it, it is worth it.

Sorry to hear that!.. I thought it was very easy to install and my battery was fully charged and it worked fine. Make sure it's hooked to the battery correctly and the battery is charged. If not it might be defective :(

Thank you! I thought my unit was defective and I had a new one (different manufacturer) in my Amazon cart, ready to buy. I thought I'd try a quick search for help before buying a new one and am so glad I did!

Something is certainly messed up. Few minutes tops.. It could be power supply..jeez... Dead Upon Arrival. I've had good luck with mine though....

Add me to the list - not sure when it started, a few weeks ago we noticed it b/c we charged it and then it was dead. Figured it got bumped in wife's purse or hadn't charged long enough but now I've been trying to charge it and see the on/off cycling going on. No answer, just sympathy and hope for a fix!

Sorry to be answering so late.The only thing I changed, that I remember is the boot order. I made sure it looked for the disk first. I also found that the company helped, they even responded with an email. Hope this helped.

It would be a loss...but contact the manufacturer to be sure. I would not buy this again, as the first one went bad on me, where it would not boot the log-in screen. They sent me a replacement but I am not going to run the risk of losing all my data, so I went with a different method. If you want the one I have I will make you a deal on it...it is still in the blister wrap.

Hello . Am I never expirienced that with mine. The problem was it kept freezing and the screen kept blinking so I returned it back for full refund. I think it can be fixed I just didn't waste time.

yes it works on mine; however...NOTE: Sometimes if it does not boot up properly and to a hard off by holding the slide button in off position. The I remove battery re-install then it boots up fine. I believe it is a bias problem for it is originally designed for the 3 cell 90 minute max use. when traveling the few times I needed this battery did not bother me to do this. Sometimes I did not have to. The longer life time with out a plug was worth it. The protruding base stand aids in ventilation which is a plus; however I have a laptop fan kit under mine.

It might occasionally reboot when it's trying something too strenuous, but it always boots up. It takes a little while, but it turns on without a problem.
