a new problem with the Dell Precision 390 tower

[reble]

I am back on my tablet again because the Dell Precision 390 tower OS Win7 Home 32bit has stopped working. I shut down Windows and the system normlly because I had other things to do. When I got back and I tried to start the system back up. All the tower did was the blue LED behind the power button blinked and that's it, other then the yellow LED on the motherboard is on. Other then the 2 LED's the system doesn't do anyhing. Why would it just up and not urn on again?

Ps the Asus X541N laptop is also down because of a very thin and badly made keyboard ribbon cable. The ribbon cable got ripped when I was looking into the optical drive poblem. The laptop won't turn on because the power switch is on the keyboard. I will just have to replace the keyboard and the optical drive.

The Dell manual does not give any info on blinking power light. But from other Dell's that can be a power supply problem. Can be other things too, but most often is power supply.

For the heck of it I put the question "computer won't turn on, power light blinks" on Google search to see what comes up. And I got a lot of hits on this subject and a good cunk of what I read said that the power supply went bad. So I am going to get a new power supply.
