3010 7010 9010 tower uses standard power supply. smaller models cant use full size power supply inside the case. [URL] [IMAGE]
Hello!I have an Optiplex 3010 which doesn't power on. I suspect the PSU has gone bad as the green LED doesn't light up when plugged into the power. To double test, I took a known, working PSU (Dell H305N-00) and plugged it into the system (main 24-pin and CPU 4-pin connectors only). When I plugged in the power cord, an amber LED marked LED1 located near the main connector began blinking and there was no reaction at all when I tried to power up.No front panel LEDs are lighting up. The RAM is in known, working condition. The CMOS battery is at 3.05 VDC. I've tried using the jumper to reset any passwords. I currently have no peripherals attached: no HDD, no DVD-RW, no keyboard, no mouse--not even the monitor. A new PSU is in transit, but I wanted to see if anyone at Dell (or in the community) knows what the blinking amber light is so that I might know ahead of time if the motherboard is blown, too. Thank you for your help!
