Press and hold the power button while it is unplugged for about thirty seconds. If it still will not start, make sure your computer is plugged directly into the wall (not a power strip). If that doesn’t work, you likely have a problem with either the power supply or motherboard and should have it serviced.

I have a Inspiron E1705, Intel Core Duo Dell Computer, I was gone for three weeks, my computer was not turned on during that time. I tried yesterday and this morning, on the light will blink and then go off. I have tried three times, I have unplugged everything, left unplugged for ten minutes. I tried again, with nothing again. My computer will not start up, what is my problem?

We have a forums. That is the proper place to post questions. To answer the question, you can short the power on pins to start the computer.

I have the same question as above. No answer to first question posted four months ago. Is this a regular occurrence on this website? By powering on do you mean the AUX PWR LED on the mobo lighting up?
