I have my XPS420 connect to a UPS, on the UPS side, so it's protected from transients in the mains. We had a power outage that lasted about 2 hours, and just after the power went out, I tried to get to the computer to shut it down. I had two printers sucking power that needed to come off first. Before I could finish shutting down the computer, it shut itself off. Now, I can't get it to come back on, even though the UPS is fully charged. It won't come on if I plug it directly into the wall socket, either. I do have the amber "auxiliary power" and the Ethernet port LEDs operating when I plug it in, but the system doesn't come on. I thought maybe it might have been something the UPS sent to the computer, but when I hook the UPS to another computer, there's no indication that there was a problem.
It appears as though I might have to get a new power supply for this computer. Any ideas if that's the problem?
