I just purchased refurbished optiplex. the machine will start - the fans run and the light in the power button turns a steady green. The lights on the back of the unit light up A- green B- amber C- green D- green and the light on the mother board is steady amber. The light on the monitor will go from amber to green momentarily, the screen stays black. Any Ideas?
Yep
unplug the system
open the case
look for a battery and take it out
take out the memory (rams)
wait ten minutes
press power button 5 times
put everything back in
and boot it
Yes you are apsolutely right, i was also having same problem, i.e amber power indication & blank screen, i googled it lot & finally found solution here. Thanks to DARKLORD1. I have followed the following steps to resolve this issue.
1> shutdown the system
2> remove the power cord, cmos battery and RAM
3> waited for more than 5 mins
4> then attched the power cord only
5> switched on the power button continuously 5 times
6> Then amber indication on power goes off & green indication came & system is booted with beep sound.
7> Then I shotdowned the system reattached cmos battery & reseated RAM.
8> system is booted properly.
Thanks for the solution

I am having the same problem EXACTLY as Owen. It happened after a thunderstorm. I have two GX270's that are identical (both are from the same build and both were connected to the same power strip. One was affected, the other was not. I performed all the suggested steps with no success, Then I swapped the video cards, battery and ram modules. All the parts work on my good computer but none of the parts make differrence on the other computer-- it still does not work. I understand that the mother board on some of the GX270's have bad capacitors (which can be detected by Xs), but such is not the case on either of mine.Where can I get access to the code list for the ABCD lights? I have googled for 1/2 of a day with no success,,,
