Dell Inspirion 530 stopped running. HDD has been reformatted. Problem: Nothing seems to work (even before HDD reformat). Power supply light comes on, motherboard light is on brightly, but nother happen when the power switch is pushed. If I "jump" the green and common (black) leads on the 24 pin ATX, the power supply fan runs. Also had the power supply tested at a computer repair shop - he said it is good. Any other possible problems? Anyway to make an easy check of the motherboard and or CPU? Thanks for all help.
Let me add this edit: I just noticed that when I apply power to the power supply, the light comes on, BUT, as soon as I push the "on" button, the light goes out.
Thanks for bearing with me.
