Dell Desktop - Power light flashing orange

**Anilrgowda** · 22-Feb-2007, 09:22 PM

Question: Hi, There was a power surge recently, and computer wouldn;t start.
I have a power supply which i put in, but when i turn it on, the power light flashes orange. The light on te motorboard lights up ok.
Could it be that the power supply is not compatibe? Different voltage or the likes or some other problem?

The dim 3000 uses a standard atx psu w/ 4 pin power connector, if the known good 350watt is prodicing the blibking amber led it looks like the motherboard was also damaged by the surge. Was the system connected to a surge protector or ups?
