This video will show you how to power up your pc,even with the blinking light by reseting the power supply.Im guessing it causes the system to reboot automatically! You do not press the power button?I have for the last year used this trick to power up with no problems,"knock on wood".Dell has not done anything to help thier customers about this issue,Expecialy if your out of warranty!! I am an average Joe and I figured out how to do this with a small amount of research!! I hope it helps just one person.

  • i have an xps 400 tried the same steps altough it was located on the lower right side.... it wanted to start up but then then died after a second. how can i get it to power on completely?? help is appreciated..!

  • @ajimenez009  unplug all usb ports. try again and wait. let it sit for half hour

  • When i do this, will it disconnect my internet?

  • @MostDope57 no it will not disconnect your internet! your internet plug may have to be removed and then plugged back in. Its the one that looks like a phone cord.

  • you have same tower. my tower start doing that after i add a new CPU fan. i thinking maybe i dont have power to run my tower but when i turn power up. little volt jump up or down from any thing knock out my tower. so now how do i fix that :(

  • @rwmtiger even the speakers on your pc can cause the pc to turn off if there are too many things running at once. Try shutting speakers off untill you find source of surge.

  • I have a dimension e510

  • You're an idiot.

  • Scan. not yest. where i get that i have no idea :((

  • @therealjohnnyjohnson i just did a full yest on my computer. my old power box need to be replace. shutting thing off will not fix it. good news my motherboard is in good shape. i may look at motherboard 1 more time before i buy new power box. just make sure there no bad part. i recommend you do the same. it may help you too.

  • you might have too much stuff plugged into wall or surge protector. You can only have so many things plugged in at once. Try unplugging something to lessen the surge. I believe it takes more power to turn on anything than it does to actualy run it. So if your using your tv ,radio ,or any other item that uses power , it may be just enough to cut out your pc? Im not 100% sure what your question was but thats what i think. Dell has a major problem with their power supply units. But you can bypass.
