When connected to AC, there's an amber light (or orange light) on the motherboard. Pressing power button causes case fan to spin for a brief moment. No other activity. System will not power on nor boot. PSU tests good. With all other peripherals disconnected the system will not boot. There is only a steady amber power light right at power up. Never gose to green. No video or drive lights come on. The Dell Inspiron 546 uses a Dell F896N 0896N Motherboard. This motherboard or mainboard is known to have a higher than usual failure rate. If the PSU has been eliminated as the culprit then the motherboard is likely defective and requires replacement. A new replacement is approximately $50.00 - that is NEW and not REFURBISHED. Replacement of the motherboard typically resolves the issue. Ensure the replacement board is equipped with a new CMOS battery. Old stock may have battery that is end of shelf life.
