Alienware Aurora R3 will not turn on
I've had this computer since 6/28/2011 and today something odd happened. When I got home today I awoke the computer from sleep mode and started browsing the internet as normal. Later I walked away from the computer for no more than 5 minutes. When I came back the computer along with all of the lights were off as if it had been shutdown. I then tried to start it back up with no success. I have tried unplugging the power cord from the wall and computer and I even plugged the machine into a different outlet, but nothing has seemed to work yet. I'm thinking that the power supply must have broke somehow. Any tips are appreciated.
Thanks and advance.

That means that the PSU is faulty. If you have an active warranty, send me a private message with your service tag to assist with your problem.

If you press the little button on the back (on the lower power supply) does the little green light come on?

Mine did same exact thing. Wont turn on. Diff PSU...same results... diff motherboard... same thing..now I can push lil black button...all but 2 fans at least move for sec. Lil light on inside up front showing motherboard getting power. The green wont come on. The PSU is OK (took it out and held it in hand..plugged it in and pushed button green light comes on as well as fan).
