SEi8 8279 won't power on

drsingleton

I've been running a Beelink SEi8 with Ubuntu linux on it, and went to connect using Remote Desktop today. I couldn't connect, so thought maybe it needed to restart. The power button didn't respond, so I unplugged it and waited 30 seconds before plugging back in. Now, it won't power up at all. The power switch blinks white about every 2 seconds but no noise from it, and a directly connected monitor doesn't show any startup screens. I've tried clearing the CMOS.


Any ideas what the blinking power button indicates?

Hello there,

Please take out the RAM and clean the gold finger with a rubber.
If it doesn't work,  maybe there is something wrong with the motherboard.
Please contact our support team at Support-PC@bee-link.com for help

Thanks, I pulled the RAM and the SSD, and reset them. I've been in contact with the support email address, and am waiting to hear back from them.
