ok - the amber light of doom on a dell means one of two things - either your power supply is pooched - or your motherboard, If under warranty dell will send out a friendly tech to replace them - if not it will cost you a bit. get the price and consider if it worth upgrading instead. Contact your dell rep or dell tech support and see what they say

Check motherboard for bad capacitors. I had the same problem and when i had bad capacitors replaced everything is ok.

If the power light is blinking amber, the computer is receiving electrical power, but an internal power problem might exist.
Try, unplugging the power cable from the pc, and reinsert it, if this does not help try a differnt power outlet, if this dont help, open the computer, take the power Molex conector out of the mother board and try turning it on, if this dont help, take out the Memory modules and reseat them, if this dont work you may want to ring up dell support.
Hope this helps!

Amber led simplifies a start-up-error. This could be a number of things.
For example:
Check if HDD is connected properly
Check if RAM is connected properly / also if this is damaged your pc wont start.
Check your m/board for any loose capacitors an if they are not popped at the top.
Your LCD screen is properly plugged in to the m/board and if the cables aren't damaged they are very thin and fragile.
also could be the power supply...
Goodluck
