''WOW'' i was getting ready to give up and throw it away.....But thanks to you Blue Kap.....Followed your instructions till the end and everything worked out beautiful....Now I still have my PC working again......Great job ...thank you for saving me money and time......Take care Good Buddy......

This is what I call improvisation. Great stuff. This means the power supply is buggered. Will have to get a new one.

Happiest day ever I thought my pc was spoilt thanks bro 💯 working 🙏😄

I can't thank you enough! I followed your directions and it worked great! I really appreciate your time and effort to create and share this video. God Bless YOU!!!

Thanks.... worked in my case(optimplex 380) Ps: installed of living wires hanging out, you can make a cavity in the front panel(plastic part) and add a small switch

You are the truth, the explanation was a little long, but I took the patient if following what you did, and now mine is working after doing the samething, I will install an on and off switch in it

Thank you bro, you just saved my computer, dell optiplex 755. God bless you

Thanks alot man. I did exactly as you have instructed and to my surprise the dead system started working very fine again. Thanks a Million you have saved my money. Am grateful Man.Cheers and keep up the good job.😀😁

I have a Dell Optiplex 7010, and three days ago, it didn't powered up (1 blink pause, 2 blinks = bad motherboard), so I'd decided to take it to a repair shop. There they told me that it was unfixable, that I'd to buy a new one. The assurance company didn't cover it, so I was gave it up. Then I saw your video, but also another one that recommended to renew the thermal paste for the cpu and remount it, so I told the shop's technician to try it. This afternoon I went to the shop and they told me that it was unsuccessful, so I brought back the pc to my house decided to try your fix. Then, SURPRISE ! without doing your fix, at first attempt, the pc BOOTED without issues. What the fff***k ! I'm puzzled Dell, I'm puzzled, I hope it lasts and stays working. I think Dell's pcs behave in a very strange way, because there are lots of cases around internet about booting issues. Right now, I'm happy to write this on my revived dell 7010 pc... By the way... By doing this wire's procedure, you are "re-flowing" the ground thing to the case of the computer... Not a bad idea, but... Is it dangerous ? Any idea of the possible reason ?... What are the electrical fundaments of your idea ?

You are just forcing the power supply to turn on, that doesnt fix the issue why the light was flashing in the first place. Blinking Amber means the power supply is receiving power but is unable to distribute the power properly (Bad power supply) This video only describes how to force the power supply to turn on, the other components will still be getting insufficient power. Just get a new power supply.

बहोत बहोत धन्यवाद सर जी तेरा जादू चल गया मेरा डेल PC चालू हो गया ........

Wow! it's good job, i am from EGYPT

THank you so much my friend for making this video. i tried this method on my Optiplex 780 and now its working again

This is pretty much like you're forcing the PSU to turn on, its a good idea yeah, but those light meant to be a dead PSU and if anyone tried it and it didnt work you should look for replacement PSU for the same model. Nice and simple tut, keep it up.

I would consider this technique only in an emergency where you had to have the computer up and running. Its important to note that is only a temporary fix, something is amiss that needs to be addressed. Most like PSU or PWR short somewhere. Thanks

Thanks for your video.getting same error on Dell optiplex 980. Used your trick and it works, Saved my 1000 of rupees and my Dell system, as no one ready to repair it. Great video.

It's working smoothly on Optilex 3020. Thanks.

In my case even switch button is not glowing. It OPTIPLEX 3020

Thanks. My Dell Optiplex 745 started working after trying this!

Thank you very much you saved me. God bless you. I am from Kenya, Africa

my dell system was doing this many times years ago. i took the motherboard out and strip everything off it and clean the board with rubbing alcohol.also the bottom side of the cpu i clean. it has been 3 years and i never got that problem again.

I encountered the same problem, it seems like it was the power supply that was at fault. I need not to cut the green wire, I only tested the PSU's (Power Supply Unit) functionality by cutting both ends of a wire (I had another wire) and inserted it on the ATX Power Cable, the first end is adjacent to the green wire and the other one is adjacent to any black wire (You can check "PC Tip: Testing a Power Supply with The Paper Clip Test" it's the same method I did.) My PSU worked and when I plugged my ATX Power Cable back to my motherboard, my PC worked. I hope this might help you guys out.

This helped me figure the rest of the problem I had thx

thank you so much, i think this video will help me to solve my computer

Thank you. It worked. This is a lifesaver.

I didn’t fix the issue with cutting the green wire, but thanks bro give me a direction, I changed the power supply and my computer works.👍

YOU ARE A LIFESAVING GENIUS, I THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!!

Excellent I followed and my pc is working

Worked like a charm! Big heaps of thanks man.

Excellent... My booting up is no longer a problem

This method helped me with Dell optiplex 755 Thank you very much

Wow 👏 this worked I thought it was the end for my PC you're a genius, thank you thank you 😊🙏

Optiplex 7010 Flashing orange power button same problem! Your videos same tips do for Optiplex 7010 PC its @ risk motherboard or not ?????

Sir, thank you for the great video. Can I just replace a new power box instead as I’m not too good in messing with wires?

ALso try to do a hard reset on the bios by removing the old CMOS battery for 5 minutes while having the system unplugged. (also hold down the power button once unplugged for the first minute). Then replace the old Cmos battery and plug the pc in and power it on.

Sir, will you plz guide us, instead of cutting wire & joining new wire, which part we need to replace as a professional or as per company fitting????

GOOD TICHING KARTE HO AP 👍👌👍👌👍👌

Great video... though, out of my absolute ignorance i have a question... Why not connect the green cable directly to the screw of the PSU?

The real an only problem is to repair the power supply. I just repaired an Optiplex 760 power supply that needed all new capacitors.

Thanks it worked on my Dell Optiplex GX520🎉🎊

eres el mejor me solucionaste el problema ,todo muy facil, saludos desde ARGENTINA

I have Dell Optiplex 620.Of late, it has been behaving like this. (Normally when you start with power supply, the fan will start and then stop till you push the "on" switch of the front panel of cabinet.) When recently, I try to start the 'on' switch on the body, it will show orange light and not turn green to put the system on. I was puzzled. The system starts at random attempts. No certainty. I tried SMPS cable, Mother board supply socket, battery etc. ( all these removed and again plugged in) It still gives random observation. i.e. sometimes starts and works and many times on strike, i.e. orange light again. Now while writing this comment, the system put on through trial and error method. Let me see how long, how many days it works normal. If it fails again, then I am sure going to go the way shown in this video. My earlier problem was fan making more noise, running at high speed. This was solved sometime back by myself by cleaning the CPU fan and cooling fins. I had obtained the jelly to required after re-fixing the cooling fan That worked for month or so. Fan was very silent. But when I again opened the fan and cleaned it and replaced with jelly, it still makes noise, and goes on high speed. All this shared for use of viewers. Thanks.

Thankfully i found after 7months

Thankyou for this video man my computer problem is solved thankyou so much

Thank you Very Very Very Much Sir it is very use video you help me to resolve my pic again thank you

You Rock!!! This worked like a charm... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Thanks for the giving important information

THIS WORKED FOR A DELL XPS 420.....LIKE A CHARM.....THANKS!!!! :)

Is this last long? works for me thanks optiplex 755

always hook the wire with the open on the right of the screw you attach it too, so when you twist it tightly, it doesn't try to open itself up...wire on the left, open on the right...

Thanks Bro Your Great Love You ❤️💕❤️

Sir bundle of thanks.

I have this problem too(solid amber light) But i managed to fixed it. Here's some steps 1. Remove the power connectors including the 12v 4 pin connector 2. Replace it with a-Processor/CPU 3. Clean the ram slots 4. Connect all the power connectors to see if its beeping Note: if its beeping means your motherboard is alive. 5. Put back the ram sticks 6. Put back all the components and the connectors 7. Your Computer is fixed!

Thank 🎉 brother big love❤❤

Mine 780 optiplex,orange light,blinking 2,3 and 4.. Fan turn on full speed,... What should i do? Do i do it like you did????

This idea is really phenomenal it works 1000% right it works for me thanks 🤩

Methods to solve the issue. (1)If there is a blinkin' amber orange light on your power button that means Your Power supply ain't malfunctioning. To solve this one: There is a cable coming' outta your power supply which has sorta a bunch of wires that is connected to the Motherboard as the MAIN CABLE... There's a wire coloured green. You'll need to cut this and tape it on anywhere of your Computer's Case/body. It will boot up the computer with showin' a green light on the power button Or if your computer didn't boot up See the next Method for the motherboard. (2)If there is a solid amber orange light on your power button that means Your Motherboard ain't malfunctioning. To solve this one: Unscrew the CPU Cooler and right close to it there would capacitors... Two capacitors around a little AC and there are 6 capacitors around 3 ACs... You gotta find which one is damaged. The one which works fine is sorta Glass-type coloured like a little light orange. The damaged's one surface is black... You just have to break it through a screwdriver or anythin'. Just take it outta your motherboard... Your PC will start up... That's what's the problem is. And yeah puttin' a bulb inside your Computer would help a dyin' capacitor and leavin' your computer with the case open on the SUNLIGHT would help you boot i up. I dug a lot to fix this up... I expereicned you didn't. Try these methods I told you...

I got same problem i just tried pushing the plug in further and it worked

I have a same problem i have followed ur all instruction but in the end pc shows orange light & started fan working but only show orange light white should i do

It didn’t work. When they weren’t shorted it started flashing amber and when i connected them it went back to solid amber.

Thanks bro It's working 👌

Thanks...I do it in a dell optiplex 755.

Dost mere pc ye masla hua thaa to maine aapki wali tric se on ker but do din pc chala aaj achanak kaam ke doran phir khud shutdown hogay ab orang light to wase hi ker rahi but taar joint kerne per pc ab on nhin ho raha please help me ?

Thank you brother. It worked and I'm so happy.

Your the best worked perfectly

Mine was doing this and i replaced the cmos battery. FIXED.

Works miracle thank you

when i do that my fan only shift once

Thank you.. It's working.. 👍👍

But is the correct fix to replace tje power supply?

I got a dell 360 desktop fan working but the power botton and the motherboard light is orange ,how can u help me fix it cause I try what I saw in this video and it never work .I even clean the motherboard and fan nothing still happened

thanks bro it works well

Good work Bro

Worked great!, thank you.

I'M a dunce! I did exactly what you did and boom! It worked! I was about to junk this one and even bought a smaller refurbished dell optip!ex mini that had the same damn problem too! but it didn't work on the mini newer one. But I couldn't leave well enough alone! I went to the one I fixed and decided to shorten up the jump wire and think I tried something because when I repeat the steps!? The amber light blinks as I plug in power but as soon as I touch the 2 wires together? It shuts the light off and never boots up now! You hear the fan almost start up but that's it! Both computers have new batteries and the larger computer that I once fixed by doing this doesn't have the reset button in the back like the newer mini dell optiplex. Any ideas!?

Wow this help me alot!! Thank q

It worked!! Wow, thanks.

Thanks. I just got my optiplex 780 out of storage for 2 years and I had a yellow light. I spliced the wires and it turned on but it's not displaying on my monitor and the 3 and 4 light stays on. I'll sort it out another time.

Fantastic job

i already try to cut the green wire comming from the power supply, as discused in this video create a spare wire and splice the other half of the green wire to your spare wire, then the other wire connected to the body of the power supply, i already tried this but same issue is created and not the new cmos battery that i installed suddenly drop his voltage

It worked Man! Thanks for ya' help. Its finally fixed (Optiplex 580)

Very Nyce Bro Bundle of Thanks
