Remove the hard drive -- if that allows the system to POST completely to a setup screen, the drive is faulty.
Unfortunately this system uses a long obsolete 1.8" hard drive -- these haven't been made in many years. They are still available, but due to demand exceeding supply, very expensive as a result.

Start with reversing any changes you've recently made, and with a run of the Dell diagnostics (F12 at powerup).
What model system (Latitude 5320,etc.)?
