Hi!

But the problem ist not complete solved :-(

- POWER-LED is lightening yellow for a long while

A yellow power LED on most Dell computers is an indication of power
supply failure. I think you should check the power supply--is the fan
inside it running? Does it seem to be "pulsing" on and off repeatedly?

Since it takes so long to get the system to start, and since you
mentioned that the system seems to be "blinking" on and off, this
could indicate a power supply failure or weakness.

I downloaded the Dell manual and could not find a description of the
power LED and what colors it can be. Other Dell computers use a yellow
power LED as a warning.

Hi William,

thank you for your ideas.

Today I phoned with DELL-Support (oh my god - no more comment).
They told me, that I have to remove all cables (HD, CD a.s.o.) and Platines AND the Powerbutton from the mainboard. Then I have to remove and insert the battery again. Now I should try to start the PC!
I will try this way tomorrow, but I can't believe that it will help.

After this crazy test, I will inform you all again about the result.

best regards

Jens
