OptiPlex 3050 power button flashing “bad motherboard”

We’ve just had a powercut. The UPS kicked in and I hibernated immediately. But now when the power’s back, it won’t start up. I have the power button flashing amber with 2 then 1 flashes, which appears to be a “bad motherboard”.


I realise the PC might well be toast, but is there anything I can try before replacing it?
