We moved across country recently and my desk top has been in storage for nearly a year. It worked perfectly before the move. I am setting it up at a new place and cannot get it to power up. It is flashing red lights in a sequence of 5 blinks with a 2 second interval. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi

Main-

(Mother)

Board

5.2

The embedded controller cannot find valid firmware.

 

Controller is missing appropriate ROM.

1 Remove any recently inserted Hardware.

2 Reset CMOS.

3 Update BIOS while affected components are removed.

4 Test known good component.

5 Replace component or Main-Board as needed.

 

It may be the CMOS/RTC battery is flat.  It could a defective Main Board.
