Hi there,
My other computer can't turn on. It's a dell e520 with a 305watt PSU.

After I unplugged the printer, it suddently shut itself off, and now every time I press the power button, it doesn't turn on.

I opened the case, and I see the motherboard has a glowing orange light (letters STBY LED next to it). When I disconnect/reconnect the power strip, the power button flashes orange, but doesn't turn on.

Is this a hardware error, if so which hardware component? thxs

btw, nothing turns on - no fan, no mobo beep, etc

There is only the orange light (not blinking) on the motherboard
