Sounds like it could be a duff PSU. I had a gammy PSU on an A1200 do something similar. Nothing was damaged in the computer but one of the voltage rails had dropped low. This was due to a prolonged period of drawing too much current to feed various expansions.

Suffice to say the problem went away with a beefier PSU.

Do you mean flashing or simply cycling between bright / dim?

In my dud PSU case, the LED appeared to blink on/off rather than the usual guru cycle of bright/dim...
