Dell XPS 630i will not turn on, please help

myxbox

My Dell XPS 630i, turned itself off, and now will not turn back on.

There seems to be power to the motherboard, as the light on the mb is on, and also the LAN light

had the case off, all connections seems fine, have taken the ram out and put back in , no difference,

any help much appreciated , thank you

PSU failing possibly? Enough power to start the boot, but not enough to POST.
Do the fans start up initially?

No nothing happens at all , when the power button is pressed, many thanks

So it may well be the PSU. Do you have a PSU tester or multimeter?

Not at the moment , would this psu tester be okay?

Yes, I have something similar. At that price you can hardly go wrong. If it's not the PSU, then you have a useful tool.
The PSU may just have failed on one rail, enough power to light the LED's but not enough to start the boot sequence.
Alternatively swap in a spare known working PSU and retest.
