NO POWER!

Quite possibly the worst Xmas present I've ever gotten...came down to a blank screen...neither mouse nor keyboard would activate...tried warm boot...tried just shutting down & restarting...zero, zip, nada. No Power. Tried removing peripheral plugs one at a time & starting, no dice. Currently have half the case off checking out the power supply. Some folks I've talked to said there may be a fuse needing replacing...found the fuse, but it's not clear, it's white so you can't even see if it's blown. What can I do next?

I've had LOTS of problems with this machine locking up & having to shut it down & restart (people tell me it's the s----y OS [Windows ME]), whatever...don't know if this has any bearing on the above problem or not...

I've only had it a little over a year & I'm pretty annoyed.

Does it get to the point where the diagnositc lights come on the back of the tower?  If so, see the following:

If you do not get any diagnostic lights, it is probably the power supply.  If still under warranty, call Dell Tech Support.
