I say call dell again, maybe you may have to send it in for repairs.
So I have a shitty Dell Dimesion E521 that can barely play minecraft. Well just this morning my computer decided not to turn on. If you pressed the power button, it would glow yellow, then immediately shut off. I then decided to press the power button multiple times and then it turned on, but the light was shining yellow, not green. My monitor would not turn on and I was stuck. This has happened before but it was fixed. I don't remember what it was a long time ago.
Does anyone know how to fix it? Dell Support is retarded and they make it difficult to follow the steps.
Is it broke? Is the power supply failing? Is the motherboard failing?
Please answer appropriately as this is important as the only other computer I have is 5 years of older then the newish Dell.

Do this
if its a laptop
remove the battery for 10 seconds and than put it back
if its a box remove the cable from the plug
What the fuck? I have the exact same problem. I'm on my phone right now.. I need help aswell :/
probably motherboard ( aint sure but i had same problem with my comp some months ago and it was that )
try calling dell again and follow steps carefully.
then if that doesnt work then its 95% sure that its your motherboard
Well since my computer is 5 years old I have no warranty, so Dell wont help me. I guess that means a new computer. HURRAY!!!!!!! NOW I CANT ACTUALLY GAMES ON IT NOW!!!!!!
TO UPGRADE WARRANTY IS $113 AND MY DAD WOULD RATHER PAY FOR A NEW COMPUTER!!!!!!!!

The only solution for Dell computers is to smash it with an hammer, then try to turn it on, should work.
Dell sucks bra. :/
