I HAVE A DELL INSPIRON 530,AND WHEN I TURN THE POWER BUTTON ON PC THE MONITOR JUST GOES BACK TO AMBER AND THE COMPUTER WILL NOT COME ON !!!!

possibe bios crash you made need to earth the main power cap to see if it is a power fluctuation fault

• One of two things is most likely bad.
• Power Supply
• Motherboard

First one is very common

First ,change the Fan,it can be heating problem...and also check the other hardware portion....

try to reset BIOS, check HDD for errors and CHEK RAM memory

The Yellow Light of Death, anyway turn on Your PC, as it starts You will here some beeps especially on a Dells. Count the beeps , there will be a slight pause so it will beep once then pause then beep again. Count the beeps and that will be Your code. Go to Dell Support site and look up code. Most of the time a Yellow amber light means that there is trouble with Your Motherboard but thats not to say its the Motherboard itself, it could have possibly burned out Your RAM, Processor, Heat fan, even the power supply itself. So look up the code and at least You'll have a better chance of finding the solution, Good Luck

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.

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

You may want to check the power supply fan whether it works properly or not. Also, you may need to check your BIOS setup if you had done anything with it.

go to power options in control panel and check if you have the option turned on to "turn off the screen after x minues of inactivity"

If the LED is glowing Amber then there is definitely something wrong with the hardware. Open up the system and check to make sure that all cables are plugged into the motherboard securely. If they are, you have faulty hardware somewhere. I would take it into a repair shop and see if they can locate the fault.
Please rate,
Thanks!
