Dell Inspiron One 2305 (all-in-one) that will not power on. ... to reboot, I saw a faint white flashing light and heard a faint clicking noise. .... but I still have the black screen and my 2305 model remains essentially "dead".
When a power supply goes it can do all sorts of other damage. You will need to get the system tested properly, to check the processor, RAM and drives. The PSU can also fry the motherboard. You could try some known working RAM in place of your own, This will eliminate at least one problem.
Hello ,
These all in one systems are similar to laptops because they use a laptop charger.and a laptop power adapter connection. Make sure to see if any lights light up to show if the system is receiving power.. If not then its either the dc connector that is on the system board. If your quite technical I always remove all components like the memory sticks,hard drive and dvd drive, then power the system back on just to make sure its the system board is not be shorted out.I like to rule all that out . Those system boards are not cheap. If your not that savy then just have a tech check it out.
After connecting the AC adapter to a wall outlet and to the computer press the power button the right side of the inspiron. The button itself should then lite up white if the power adapter is good. If not, check the power outlet you are using. Plug in something else and see if it works on this wall outlet. Some outlets are connected to a wall switch. If its still a nogo you may need to replace the AC adapter.

This sound like a hardware problem not much to do to try and fix this issue but you can try this.
Remove the ac adapter and battery. Hold down the power button for 10 seconds. By doing this we are draining the flea power of the laptop. Residue power sometimes causes a no power issue. If this does not fix the problem then you would have to get the laptop serviced.
