I have a Dell Dimension 4550 which originally gave an error message at start up that said it could not find the hard drive. I opened up the machine and checked te connections, I see that there is power to the mother board, yet the power button is now inactive. Depressing the button results in no activity. Any suggestions.
Thanks.

could be a bad power supply ,no putting out enough power anymore ,and when this happens it could also destroy you motherboard ,and so on and so on !!!!
I have a Dell Inspiron 600m and it won't power up. I have used another power adapter that I know is good and it still will not start the computer. I am leary about opening up the laptop to investigate. Any suggestions.
I replaced the power supply and it still does not power up, yet I know that there is power on the Motherboard. Any other suggestions. It was working fine previously. I opened it just to check a hard drive connection and now nothing.
try the power cord, and possible the socket its plugged into, otherwise, its the motherboard.
