LED Light Is Blinking Amber

Question

I have a Dimension 1100.  When I push the power button, the power light continues to blink yellow and the system never start up. I have unplugged the cord from the power connector, I have checked the voltage selection switch, and I have disconnected the PSU and reconnected it.  Does anyone have any suggestions.   Do you think I need a new PSU?  If so, how do I install it?

destiny931, Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum. Look on the back of the tower at the led diagnostic indicators. What is the color sequence of the led's?

Blinking amber, usually means a power supply problem. Try a different power supply.

If the system is under warranty, contact Dell Technical Support.
