Gday.
Thanks for the reply.
While Phillpower2 is offline I will row the boat for a while.
The PSU is at the top/back. I think it is a 306 Watt, would be useful if you can write down , brand/model.
If you have any other means of accessing the Web, please download the owners and service manuals.

Before working inside the computer, every time, switch off the PSU and monitor, take anti static measure by briefly touching a bare metal part of the computer case.
The lights showing both indicate,
I F THE POWER LIGHT I S BLINKING AMBER — The computer is receiving electrical power, but an internal power problem might exist. • Ensure that the voltage selection switch is set to match the AC power at your location (if applicable). • Ensure that the processor power cable is securely connected to the system board, disconnect ev ery powr plug on the MB then reconnect.
Reseat the following, RAM, and if applicable, the video and sound card/s.\\If the issue persists, most likely the PSU failed, or, A SOLID AMBER LED ON THE MB, indicateda hardware fault.
Have you access to a PSU that can be used to test the rig?
