Inspirion5675 solid amber power button
Turned off normally, rebooted with solid amber light. There are no other diagnostic lights and it does not beep. Psu light is green. Tried unplugging everything and held power button for 20s, did not help. Removed and reinserted the motherboard coin, did not help. It does not display any signal, hdmi or dp. All the fans spin and every cord and screw is in the right place. Also does not light up my kb+m but I can still use it to charge my phone so I have that going for me. Anything I missed?

According to the Dell manual this suggests a possible power supply failure.
Solid amber light:
Boot failure: This is a system fault error condition, including the power supply. Only the +5VSB rail on the power supply is working correctly.

SOLID AMBER = DEAD CPU DEAD MOTHERBOARD
FLASHING AMBER = BAD POWER SUPPLY where standby 5v is on but PWR GOOD is not asserted.

Hi,
you can try uplug everything(cd rom, hard drive, card reader, gpus or any pci cards.) and if the light flashes again that means bat cpu, psu or motherboard.
