SOURCE: orange amber showing on the power button of dell

An amber led is indicative that your machine is stuck in either stand by or hibernation mode. If you're unable to boot up at all, the easiest way to clear it is to

  1. Unplug the machine
  2. open the machine, remove the CMOS battery for several minutes
  3. while unplugged and with CMOS battery out, press and hold the power button for 5 seconds
  4. re-insert the CMOS battery
  5. re-assemble the machine and plug in
  6. press power button and allow machine to run diagnostics
At this point it will try to run in SAFE mode. Once it boots up successfully, you should be good to go.
Best of luck!

SOURCE: my dell computer will not boot up. Hard drive

Dear,
Please remove the all the memory and poweron the system. If you hear a beep sound, system board, and processor is ok. else you can suspect processor or mother board.
Remove the mother board battery after disconnecting all the powercable and try to switch on again.

SOURCE: keyboard failure in dell optiplex 320

Too many keystrokes are being entered during POST (what your computer does before booting into your operating system) or a problem with your keyboard connected to the PS/2 port, or a problem with the port itself.

Replace/clean/fix/prevent cat from stepping on keys of the keyboard to resolve issue.

SOURCE: dell Optiplex 320 keyboard failure [WRIT]

Fluids might have been licked inside the keyboard making it have failures, or if the cheap is dead you might need to get a new keyboard, try using another keyboard if it works quite properly then yours might be mechanically faulty and need technical assistance or even just replacement would be better.

SOURCE: dell optiplex gx270 wont reboot.

Most likely it is the power supply then. I would recommend trying another power supply first. That is the first component to get damaged.

Flashing amber light

Hi, on most Dells a flashing amber light on the power button indicates a problem with the PSU or a short on the main power rail, if this is the case you should have 2 flashing lights as well, 1 & 3.

Del 320 optiplex orange lite blinks won't boot up


For the Optiplex 320, a flashing amber light with no sound indication can mean 3 things.


1) Your power supply has failed

2) Your motherboard failed, most likely from a bad capacitor.

3) The front panel board (where the power button is located) is faulty or not connected properly.


I've worked with 10's of 1000's of Dell Optiplex's over the past 8 years and the flashing amber light is well known as a tell-tail sign of one of those three failure. Always start your trouble shoot with a PSU tester, then inspect the motherboard for domed or split/leaking capacitors...then on to the front panel which would require another panel and ribbon from the same model.

My Dell optiplex 330 is not getting on only cpu's red light is flashing..

I am assuming you mean the power light is flashing, probably amber.

Here is a link that explains the codes.

A flashing amber light usually means there may be a power problem or an internal device malfunction. See the link.

My optiplex 330 is not powering up.the power botton flashes orangy bright when the pc is turned on.what the problem there please

The common issue related with a Flashing Amber Power Light is a BAD POWER SUPPLY. If the Amber Light is SOLID then it may be your MOTHERBOARD.

But if it is flashing repeatedly then it is your power supply, you will need to purchase a new one. Good Luck.
