Desktop Not Receiving Power, I Think
I have a Dell Optiplex SX280 i bought on Ebay. Worked fine, no problem or trouble. Last night (4 days after receiving it) I shut it down normally and went to sleep. This morning it didn't turn on. I switched the power cable with another that was plugged directly into the wall (instead of my surge protector) with no luck. I took the power cable and supply to another outlet without the computer and the light came on orange. I brought the computer over, plugged it in and the light went off, still with no power. 2nd Dell Optiplex to give out on me this month, any ideas? ( ._.)
Btw, it was running Windows XP, Pentium 4 2.80Ghz, 2gb ram

Are any of the four diagnostic lights on the back panel lite?
Are there any 'beeps' and/or error messages?
The Optiplex SX 280, Service Manual, Troubleshooter and Diagnostic codes can be found here,

There are no lights and no sounds at all. Yesterday all 4 lights were green and today nothing.
