    Hi All,

    I am working on a DELL Dimension 5100. I replaced the Power supply when I didn't get ANY lights. Now, the power button backlight and the ethernet port activity light both slowly blink amber. Usually this indicates the system is in standby (S3) mode.

    The system uses a USB keyboard and mouse. However, nothing I have tried has been able to get the machine out of standby mode. I moved the keyboard and mouse to different USB ports, and have held the power button in for the normal 5 seconds for a shutdown, but nothing has worked.

    Please help!

    Thanks,
    Jim
