Power Problem

Question

I have a dell optiplex gx 150 that won't boot. The light on the power button just keeps flashing. Has anyone ever experienced this? Or does anyone know why it would do this?

Thanks, that was the problem. Now I just have to find a power supply that will fit that doesn't have a power switch on it. Turns out when I booted it there waqs a disk 0 read error as well so I think the hdd is cooked too.

With a blinking amber light that usually means the power supply.

The tower version of the GX150 can use a regular ATX 12V spec power supply.

Non Tower versions have a non standard size.

Or You can get ATX cable extenders and cut a hole in the side of the box and leave it outside.

With a non dell power supply You will need to make a hole in the back where the power cord goes in.
