The 500Watt Power Supply is not warrantied by dell and that is what is failing.

If the power light is blinking amber — The computer is receiving electrical power, but an internal power problem (BAD Power Supply) exists.

If the power light is green/blue and the computer is not responding check the Diagnostic Lights.
If the power light is blinking green/blue , the computer is in standby mode.

If the power light is steady amber, a device may be malfunctioning or incorrectly installed.

    Remove and then reinstall the memory modules.

    Remove and then reinstall any cards.

Thank you! Does the power supply need to be replaced too?
