So a few years back a friend gave us a new Dell Vostro 410 as our kitchen computer. It's worked fine for email and web and a few games for four years. Last week it seized up and wouldn't boot.
I took it apart, cleaned it, reseated the RAM, and tried disconnecting the individual components ... nothing.
When I press the power button, nothing at ALL happens -- no beep, no fan spin, nothing. But the LED on the power supply is on when it's plugged in, as is the LED on the mobo. Is this a dead power supply? Or a dead something else?
