Had computer powered up and was worki g fine, then i heard a sound like paper flipping in a fan blades then my computer completely shut off.
When i pushed the on button, the tower light goes amber for a quarter second then goes off. At the same time cd drive light blinks once then off. At the same time all fans run, (except for psu fan) and also no signal to tv monitor. So i am getting power, but no boot.
There is a bist button on the psu. After unplugging power cord and all other cords, i pushed the on/off button for thirty seconds as was suggested somewhere online. Then i connect ac cord back up and do BIST test. The BIST test fails in two ways.
1. The pcu fan does not turn on (but all other fans do turn on).
2. On/off button goes amber then off. No green. (The green light on the pcu DOES turn on though. )
If the pcu fan was the problem, wouldnt it shut down the computer?
I have looked through the list of led codes at dell. Says nothing about a quick amber then off completely. Also no tones happen either.
Not sure what to do. Hope someone can help.
