    Hi Guys,

    I bought a faulty M1730 (dead GPU) and when you press the power button, the lights come on(case, keyboard, numlock & power led), HD led flashes, DVD spins & led flashes and sometimes the battery led flashes the following sequence;

    (normal speed)
    BLUE
    (faster speed)
    AMBER
    AMBER
    AMBER

    >then repeats.

    I have looked in the owners manual but that sequence isn't detailed.
    BLUE led = charging
    AMBER led = low.

    Thanks,

    Mark.
