I have a DC7100. Blinks red 9 times @ 1 Hz [1] 9 Wrong power supply input voltage. Solution?

HP Recommended

Hi:

 

Here are the possible solutions to the 9 Beeps:

 

1. Check that the voltage selector, located on the rear of the power supply (some models), is set to the appropriate voltage. Proper voltage setting depends on your region.

 

2. Replace the system board.

 

3. Replace the processor.
