I have a Dell Desktop (2001), the small light in front is on but will not power up. I have opened the PC and checked all connections. Please help.
Thank you

Unplug the machine, then press and hold the power button for 5 seconds. plug the machine back in and try to power up normally.

Sometimes the ATX power good signal hangs up the works, and this procedure will usually fix that.

It it doesn't solve the issue, I'd suspect the power supply itself.
