About a month ago my Dell started acting up after it was shut off, when you tried to power it back up the power led would flash orange and the computer wouldnt start. After like 10-15 tries it would finally start if you said a magic word and did the rain dance. Now its completly dead, wont power up for anything.
I've tried dells troubleshooting walkthrough and unplugged everything systematically and tried starting the beast up with no luck so far, I cant talk to their tech support people since my warranty expired about 2 years ago, and I'm not about to pay for them to tell me I need to buy a whole new system.
Hoping someone has some helpful info or something, also crossing my fingers its not my HDD failing because I'll be a sad panda.
Have a Dell Dimension E521 4gb ram, and 512 video card slapped in
