Dell Dimension 1100 just out of warrantee:
On pressing power button briefly, the fan will start but only for a second and then stops. The green LED on motherboard remains on constantly and the orange/amber led near the power switch flashes regularly but the green LED adjacent to it is off.
When the power to the HDD & DVD drives is disconnected and the above repeated, the fan stays on and the green LED on the motherboard also remains on and the orange/amber LED & the green light near the power button remain on constant. On reconnecting power to either drive the fan stops and the system reverts to state mentioned above.
Can anyone advise where the fault lies?
