Check if all cables are connected properly, if not ask for a return. This can happen.

is there alternative as reciept has been lost :s all connections are fine have been tested and seated propperly card also tested in multi machines same out come should this light be constantly on ? what are the over types of non power source issues but saying that wouldnt ati flash detect this card if all cables are connected and working fine as atiflash does not detect i think i see it post test as lights blinked 3 times or more and start of post this light is bright constant
