Do you have a different Dell AC adapter you can use to test the pc?

a bad adapter could do this.

unfortunately i don't have another 90 watt power adapter to try, i have a 60W but that doesn't work, the power button just stays off totally after the 1 blink, then a little while after i see the hard drive light blinking

1 blink is not in any Dell amber dx code

(1) try RTC reset. https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/optiplex-5070-micro/opti5070_micro_sm/?guid=guid-f43ca142-3465-4f38-8fbe-2ad251ea73ff&lang=en-us

(2) check cpu socket pin since you swapped motherboard. Use a magnifying glass to look at the socket at 4 orthogonal angle closely after carefully extracting cpu. If you notice any bent pin, that is it.
