Dell Optiplex 745 Orange Light on Mobo
Hello all,
I know this is a common issue online but none of the things I'm trying seem to work!
When I hit the power button on my PC (dell optiplex 745 minitower) it refuses to turn on, and no fans or anything start up at all.
What I've tried?
-replacing CMOS battery
-grab a spare psu, installed it, still didn't work
-uninstalled the RAM and reinstalled it
-made sure the RAM was separated by one company at a time just in case, since there were 2 companies or makers of ram in at once. No luck.
-changed my power plug
-had cmos battery removed, started up pc without the battery, then reinstalled it, no luck
-put a new cmos battery in and did the same as above
All of these things lead to the orange light on the motherboard and nothing else.
Is my motherboard fried? I've just bought it on ebay as a fun little pc (not as a main one).
I'm out of ideas to try to fix this.
Thank you in advance for the help.
