my new dell 7010 DT not powering up using win7.Intel i5, 8gb ddr3 ram, 500GB OS SSD
been using my new dell for over a year (mainly to browse web) zero issues except the peskie you may have counterfeit software message which I just X away.
yesterday I install a new Samsumg EVO870 SSD (I cloned a HDD I had my win7 on + some files). worked great yesterday, I powered down as usale last night.
today when physicaley powering up w/ power button I observed the power button blicking rapidly. I'm getting 123VAC power to PC just won't boot up.
now the power button blicks slowely. do I need a new power supply. weird it was working great yesterday w/ new SSD.
before I start learning to test a power supply an it's related pins, doe's Dells power button blicking rapidly then slowely indicate a failed PSU? thanks for power supply advice

After watching a bunch of dell PSU failures/swaps I bumped into the organe flashing light a builtin problem w/ dells.
Also learned about the green light on back of PSU.
Weird that the resolution was to remove replace each 4GB RAM module, iniailly didn’t think it was gonna work, so I rinse repeat 3 times the charm back up an running w/ old dell.
Additional comment I’ve never changed/tested a c-mos battery another y-tuber mentioned a procedure for replacing the C-MOS which could be a solution for a old dell not booting. Hope this helps someone.

update: next morning dell won't boot up again.didn't remove replace RAM.
I held down the PSUs test button on rear of case kept holding it then pressed power button, 1st attempt she didn't boot but did want to blick the amber power light.
3rd attempt holding both PSUs test button and power button she boots up. so the watch battery didn't fix much.
anyone here know what seams to be the problem w/ this dell? thanks
