Power supply Dell Dimension 2400

It is possible that you may have a bad power supply and need to have it replaced, it could also be something simple such a a loose connection on your motherboard. I would start out by removing the power supply from the machine and having it tested at a computer shop. Also make sure everything is plugged in correctly on the hardware. Let me know if this helps please, Jeff from fixya

It means if that fan is going it could cook the processor and you should fix it A.S.A.P.be you run it anymore.

Hi,
The blinking amber light on the dimesion 2400 generally means that the power supply on the system has gone bad. Switch off the system and disconnect the power cord from the back of the system . Press and hold down the power button in the front for 10 seconds.
Reconnect the cable back and try powering on the system.

If the same ,fails you would have to take the system in for repairs

Thanks for using Fixya

The 10/100 Integrated controller is the onboard network card

That basically mean yes it does have a network card built onto the motherboard.

Hi Sherri,
The symptom that you are facing generally refers to bad power supply. The same can be resolved by replacing the same. You can call dell sales to procure a new power supply. However to troubleshoot and make sure if power supply has gone bad , use the link below

replace the fuse

generally all computers can handle a secondary hard drive. i myself am a dell tech. why not try to increase the wattage output of your power supply from the present 200 or 250 watts to at least 300 or 350 watts to give enough provisions for additional devices that will be connected to your computer. normally a hard drive will get burned or fried because of a loose power cable connection. data cable will never fry your hard drive. try running the hard drive diagnostics if it passes then it should work well. try also using chkdsk /r in the command prompt to fix your hard drive if the damage is not that extensive.
