Hi can anybody Help Please.
My son has a GX110 and It is refusing to power up. The LED on the front just stays on Orange.

I had yesterday a similar problem with a Dimension 5150. After removing all the cables from the back (in my case, this was mouse, keyboard, usb printer and LAN) and reconnecting only the mouse / keyboard, it worked. If it happens again, I will try cable by calbe (I would guess for the LAN connection), but until now it has not reappeared...Winnipaul_dundee

The power light is a troubleshooting indicator. Solid amber power suggests (not set in stone) that the problem could be the motherboard or processor. Intel's biggest gripe with PC manufacturers is that 95% of the returned processors are actually fine, misdiagnosed as faulty. So you can almost always rule that out.
That fault can be caused by anything plugged into the motherboard, i.e. anything external and anything internal.
Depending on how technical you are, internal troubleshooting can get to the root of the problem quickly.
