***HELP*** Dell Inspirion 519 Desktop won't turn in

There we go, meant 519

I need help! My computer is a Dell Inspirion 159 desktop won't turn on! I tried turning it on, a yellow/amber light flashed from the power button. I unplugged everything, plugged it back into a different power strip slot, and now the amber light won't even show up. I press the power button and nothing. Any ideas what the problem is?

Have you tried removing and reinstalling all the memory modules and graphics card, to see if this makes a difference?

Also, try connecting the power cord directly to an outlet,

I am having same pblm with a 537. Every time I press the button on the front the green light in back goes out and I have to unplug and plug in to reset. Power supply checks out (I swapped with a good 537) and motherboard looks good with no visable damage to any capacitors.

No color and no blinking any more. originally it blinked a yellow/amber color. Now it wont show anything, but green color on the back is still on

Sounds like a power supply failure, try replacing the power supply, with a know working unit and see if makes a difference.

The Inspiron 537 Mini Tower can use most standard generic ATX power supply units, with either a 24-pin or 20+4-pin main motherboard power connector, with or without the on/off switch.

You should be able to buy a compatible power supply from either a local or online computer store.

Note: You require a power supply with four SATA power connectors.
