If the light is flashing, that means it is a secondary error, which could be a good thing. Try pressing the X button to clear the error condition.

If that doesn't work, see page 75 of the user's manual for instructions on how to get more detail about the error so you can figure out exactly what is causing it. If you don't have the manual, you can download it here.
