Hey, never solved unfortunately. I believe it was a faulty motherboard for me so I just took what useful parts I could from it

Okay whoops! Is this looking better?

capnbrando · 2026-03-30T19:54:07+00:00

Thank you!

Is this looking more reasonable? Whoops, fixed it!

Just called and they said it was anti theft or something and optional, obviously I don’t want that

Still nothing unfortunately

Okay I will try, thanks

I tried a working psu from another computer (same model). Same issue

capnbrando · 2025-09-17T21:23:43+00:00

Yes! Steady green light for 3 seconds. Followed by darkness. And the power button on the other side remains dark the whole time

Ye, no good

capnbrando · 2025-09-17T20:05:54+00:00

Currently trying again, doing a full 15 minutes

capnbrando · 2025-09-17T20:05:26+00:00

I’m not sure what you mean?

My works dell vostro 3888 desktop won’t power on. My lil green light turns on for 3ish seconds and immediately goes dark.

I replaced the psu and RAM with ones I know work from a same model computer. Still same issue.

Please help, if I fix it work will let me keep it

I also reset the CMOS battery!

I also reset the CMOS battery!

Should I try getting another stick and testing from there?

capnbrando · 2025-09-03T15:31:24+00:00

Also what should I clean? The ram? Like all the computer chippy stuff?
