My old Dell 2400 just quit on me. The light in the left side just blink yellow continuously but the computer do not turn on. How can I save the content of the hard drive in another computer.
Are you referring to the power button light is blinking yellow orange ish. If so its a bad power supply. I would search ebay for a good used power supply.
Pull the hard drive and put it in an external SATA to USB enclosure. Then plug it into any PC to access it.
