Blinking amber can mean bad PSU. Solid amber can mean bad MB. Dell BIST Test video

@bradthetechnut is spot on with the explanation. However if you post the exact model of the computer it will help with diagnosis.

when power button is amber I usually suggest replace cmos battery and clear cmos settings by reset motherboard cmos jumper.  Brad is correct that it is either failed psu or bad MB which could be due to corrupted cmos.
