How do I Tell if My Dell Computer Power Supply is Really Dead

In only 5 simple steps, you can easily determine if your Dell computer's power supply is dead or if a drive or motherboard may be the guilty party..

1. Disconnect all drive power cables while your PC is off.

2. Turn on the power to your PC. If your PC starts your culprit is a shorted drive, otherwise… continue troubleshooting your power supply. If it appears that a drive is the culprit, you will need to use the process of elimination to discover the guilty culprit.

3. Disconnect all power supply cables (including ac cord from wall), leave one hard drive connected (500W+ models, connect two hard drives).

4. Insert a bent paperclip between the green and black (often wire #4 and #6) wires on the 20 or 24-pin motherboard power connector (do not allow this to come into contact with metal or yourself when powering up).

5. Connect your AC cable from the wall within nothing in between and then power on your computer. If the fan in your power supply runs when your psu is powered up, odds are that your power supply is fine.

I ordered a standard ATX power supply for my Dell, why won't it work?

Ok, if you ordered a standard atx power supply this will be your problem; you must order a DELL specific power supply that is designed to work with a Dell computer. This is due to Dell using proprietary components in their computer systems, resulting in different plugs, voltages, etc. Using a standard power supply not designated as compatible with your Dell computer can, and usually will result in the destruction of both power supply and your dell motherboard. Not Good!

Fortunately, the solution at hand is simple. You must choose from either our PcPower & Cooling Dell replacement power supplies and our budget minded Startech Dell replacement power supplies. Simply match your Dell model to one of the Dell models listed for each power supply to pick the correct power supply... it's that easy.
