Question Bad PSU or Mobo?

I don't know what happened, but I have this old Dell Dimension 2350 that my parents use, and for some reason, the next day it just stopped working. I made sure the cable wasn't the problem and I saw that when the indicator light on the mobo was on and everything was connected, but when I tried to power it up, it just wouldn't start.

Is it a bad PSU or Mobo?

PS: The light was blinking, is that a problem?

Re: Bad PSU or Mobo?

What light was blinking? A failed PSU could be the problem. Do you have opr can you borrow one to try? Many older Dell PC's used a proprietary PSU. Using one that does not match one can be harmful to components.
