Front of tower at bottom from power on switch there is a blinking blue light that looks like a battery indicator.....but of course there is no battery. Does anyone know what this could be ? Thanks

Hard disk activity?

Looking at the front of your computer

the bottom of the grey central strip does, as TheChair suggests, show a hard drive symbol. (It looks like a tin can). So, if that's where you're seeing a blinking light, then it's simply indicating hard drive activity.

What does that mean......This is my husbands computer, and he swears he has never seen it before......take that with a pinch of salt.....Ha Ha

The hard drive light comes on to show that data is being written to it or read from it. It happens whenever you save a file to a hard drive or when you open one from it. Moreover it also happens when lots of other things happen, such as when your computer updates its anti-virus software. Indeed, there are so many things that go on 'in the background' that it's not unusual to see frequent hard drive activity indicated. (The only time that you need to worry is if you see the light on continuously. That could indicate a problem with the computer).
