I tried to turn my inspiron 530s on and a solid Amber light come on. I tried to search for an answer but i havent found it. I opened the pc side cover to see if evething were connected and all of the wires are in place. however i removed the 2xBrown and 2x Black wires that connect to the power for cpu (ATX_CPU) and tried to turn it on and all the fans came on. so what does that mean? If the MOTHERBOARD was dead why does the fans come on? need help ASAP please.

Is the computer plugged in to a known good power source with a known good power cord? Also, make sure the power is fully seated on both ends. When you press the power button are you getting any indicator lights? The power button itself has an LED that will be either solid green, blinking green, solid amber, blinking amber, or off. Do you hear any beeps?

hello, you will have to remove power cables, and leave for a while then reconnect it and try again. check out my blog for more tips ;

Hello, Paul.

Try replacing your power strip. The tower and the monitor are not the problem.

Hope this helps.

The WI-Fi LED is a sign that its Enabled or ON. The LED light on the side of the switch is called the Wi-Fi Catcher.The light operates as follows:
Flashing blue: Searching for networks
Solid blue: Strong network found
Solid yellow: Weak network found
Off: No signal found

Please comment if the information has been helpful. Thank you and regards.

Hi,

I work for Dell, If the power button led light is flashing amber or amber (the Power supply is faulty) The Yellow light you saw inside the motherboard is the "Flea Light" (that is one way you could check if there is still power on the motherboard). Since the motherboard was replaced there are a few more things to check:

1. Video card (integrated or expansion)
2. Monitor (Make sure it displays self test feature when the cables are removed)
3. Monitor Cables (VGA / DVi)
4. Power Cable on the Monitor (try a different cable)
5. Power Supply (you already checked, but i suspect this is causing the problem)

Hope this helps.

Try system restore if it works normally after this also turn system restore off and back on again as the problem could also lie in system restore information.

there is power buttom on the keyboard makes it wake up. try it

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
