I'm assuming you mean the green light that that is on the back of the
computer on the power supply.
That normally means the power supply is going out. Open her up and
install a known good power supply to check it out
cause once in a great moon it is the motherboard.
Rule of thumb is that when a power supply does go out it likes to take
company with it. So get it changed out (If that is the problem)
before it goes.
