Hi, when i put the powercord into a Optiplex 390 the orange light on the motherboard lights up and the power button starts to blink orange.
none of the diagnostic lights go on.

The Optiplex 390 SFF has a Dell proprietary power supply, same as the units shown Here:

A blinking amber power LED usually indicates a failed power supply, replace the power supply with a 'known' working unit, to see if this makes a difference.
Which version of the Optiplex 390 do you have, the Mini Tower, Desktop, or the Small Form Factor?
