We will list a few of the most common here, but there are http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/t/17756021 certainly more on the Dell website. Dell Diagnostic Lights Below are some of the common Dell diagnostic lights and their codes. You should refer to the Dell support site to find your specific model and their codes. A B C D -- No lights indicates the system is getting no power. You can confirm the outlet is working, but if you are still not getting power, you could have a problem with either the power supply, front switch or the motherboard itself. A -- http://www.pctechbytes.com/dell/dell-diagnostic-lights/ If only the yellow ligth is lit, this means the computer is off and receiving power. A B C - If A B and C are yellow, this means the BIOS is not running or not finishing (completing its POST). B -- If B is yellow, this means you are having some type of issue with the power supply. C -- If C is yellow, this means you have some type of problem with the motherboard. A B D Yellow and C Green -This means you could have a problem with your CPU. A B Yellow and C D Green -- This means you have memory installed, but there is a problem with it. These are the top Dell diagnostic lights and their conditions that can prevent your system from booting. You may have different diagnostic lights and still be able to boot, but a lot of those problems can be quickly fixed once you boot up the computer. One important thing you can try if you are receiving any of these critical conditions is to shut the system down, remove the plug and open the case. Make sure you touch a piece of metal on the case's chassis to ground yourself, then proceed to making sure all cables and cards are secure. Be careful not to touch any chips on the memory or the motherboard in the process.

When I plug the power cable, the fans start spinning, HDD seems to be spinning too but hard to tell for sure. Diagnostics lights are green except B that is amber. Could not find this light pattern in my cheat sheet. Thanks. Alex.

The general consensus is motherboard failure. The GX270 series is famous for that. 3 Serrano OP Josh Dunbar Apr 30, 2013 at 2:01 UTC I know this sounds elementary, but try removing all of the peripherals from the motherboard, including the RAM and see if the amber LED goes away. If it does, you may have a bad DIMM or PCI card. If it doesn't, chances are it's your board. Rarely, do the CPU's die before the mobos do. 0 Tabasco OP nichomach Apr 30, 2013 at 2:02 UTC Indeed - wonky caps agogo; if your motherboard looks as though it's covered in seagull crap, that's your answer, I'm afraid. 4 Serrano OP Josh Dunbar Apr 30, 2013 at 2:03 UTC nichomach wrote: Indeed - wonky caps agogo; if your motherboard looks as though it's covered in seagull crap, that's your answer, I'm afraid.

What happens when you try to boot? Do the fans start? Can you hear the Harddrive? Does the monitor stay black or are there error messages, any beeps?

Hope warranty is still not over. I'm not really sure where else you could get a new motherboard for it, and don't have the energy right now to search for solutions. Going to bed, hope you'll find an answer. If not, I'll try to help anyway possible tomorrow.

Checked the 2005 Tech docs and didn't see this code mentioned. If the info in the above link is good and "ndicates system activity preceding video initialisation."" is the correct interpretation of the code, then I would start with reseating my video card.
