My Dell Inspiron 530 wont turn on

My Dell Inspiron 530 recently went out during a thunderstorm an has not powered on since then. I have tried to discharge the flea power, since it was blinking amber on the LED light. I even took the whole thing apart and reassembled it. However, it's still not turning on. Should I buy a whole new power supply for it? Or is there something I can do for it now?

Yes buy a power supply. I have seen hundreds of computers that have gone through storms. Remember a Dell usually uses a special power supply.
For a good deal look on ebay for your specific model, They almost always have "Buy it Now" deals.

Most beeping problems are indicative of RAM problems. Try popping open the case and removing the RAM modules and plugging them back in.

Wont boot up.which button should i press to reset factory settings on powering up?inspiron 530

Factory settings are normally achieved by pressing the F8 on boot up, and choosing the option for "Repair My Computer". If this doesn't work, then CTRL+F11 should take you directly into the recovery option.

THIS LINK FROM DELL should walk you through the process.

This is a system fault error condition, including the power supply. Only the +5VSB rail on the power supply is working correctly.

Solid Amber light when starting the Inspiron 530 . Every time i start the Dell inspiron 530, the solid amber light comes on and it dont start. As per Dell user manual i have tried everything but of no use....

Amber led simplifies a start-up-error. This could be a number of things.

For example:

Check if HDD is connected properly

Check if RAM is connected properly / also if this is damaged your pc wont start.

Check your m/board for any loose capacitors an if they are not popped at the top.

Your LCD screen is properly plugged in to the m/board and if the cables aren't damaged they are very thin and fragile.
also could be the power supply...

Goodluck
