Hi hockeymf,

It looks as though the Power supply Unit (P.S.U) is turning on but unable to transfer the power to the computer. Request you to try the following steps:

(1) Turn off the computer.

(2) Remove all the external peripherals like printer, flash drives, etc.

(3) Now press and hold power button for 30sec, it releases the static on the computer (if present)

(4) Now try turning on the computer.

If it still doesn’t work then you can try reseating hard drive and memory. You may also refer the below link for manual which may help:

If it still doesn’t work then request you to use the below link and check warranty status:

If the computer is still in warranty then send me the system service tag via private message. I will check and let you know what can be done.

If the computer is out of warranty you may want to contact the out of warranty repairs on 18002884410 (For U.S region only).
