Optiplex 755 only turns on through power supply button, no video output.

So I can't turn on my Optiplex 755 through the regular power button.  I have to hold the power supply test button on the back, and then press the on button.  The computer then stays on, but I don't get any video output.  No BIOS beeps or anything.  Not sure what's going on.  The service tag is

I have gone thru these steps on optiplex 755 and always the same sounds.  6 buzzes: 

1: 3 second buzz followed by same length pause, then

2: 3 second buzz, then immediately,

3. another 3 second buzz, then immediately,

4. another 3 second buzz, then a normal 2-3 second pause

5. another 3 second buzz, and quickly after

6. another 3 second buzz.

That sound familiar?

Any help appreciated!

That power supply sounds like its failed!  There are the 4 diagnostic lights on the front of Optiplexes - but they generally dont light when a power supply fails - do they run through sequence - i.e. they flash various combinations as the PC starts? If no lighting up then its not getting to even run the diagnostics which is usually power supply failed - but they are easy and cheap to replace.

If they do light up then whats the sequence they stop on?

The button on the power supply is a quick test button - i.e. when the PC is off press it and it should show a green light. Its only a general indicator though.

There are four different versions of the Optiplex 755, the Mini Tower, Desktop, Small Form Factor, or the Ultra Small Form Factor, which version do you have?
 
Have you tried using the troubleshooting procedures listed in the post here:
