Hello all, A little while ago I got a new power supply for an old OptiPlex GX240 that I'm trying to rehabilitate. With the old power supply the power button would blink amber, but now with this new one, the power button lights up a solid amber and the hard drive activity light stays on. I have a keyboard and a mouse connected too and those two respective things light up too. I read somewhere (I don't remember where exactly) that a solid amber power button is normal for a brand-new power supply, but I can't see anything on the screen and nothing happens after leaving the computer alone for some hours. I guess my question is "So... what do I do now?" I'm aware that the last post having to do with a GX240 power supply was made maybe 15 or so years ago (haha), so I hope there's someone around here that can help me with this.
