I have a Emachine sempron 3100 W3107 and It was working fine then i moved it to my fathers house, hooked up the same wires and cables same monitor etc but when i turned it on the fan came on and it made the normal sounds but there is a orange light now below where the blue light is suppose to be around the power button. its a solid constant orange light. the fan works and everything but the monitor wont show any picture. it wont even boot. It did have an extra stick of 256mb of ram so i removed it and still the same thing. any help?

Did you carefully pack the computer before you move it?

Kinda like XpUser mentions, it sounds like something's "wiggled loose" in-transit (especially if it worked well before you moved it). Look inside the case and re-seat cards, plugs etc. to see if that corrects the problem...
