There is no documentation on this LED sequence.  There should be an amber LED in the power button, is this "blinking" or "solid amber".

The hard drive light flashes briefly. No other light comes on.

Try disconnecting all the peripherial devices, leaving just monitor connected, then check to see if the system powers up, if not, try removing the PCI cards.
If the system still will not power on, then try using a different PSU.

 Found some codes...Click on link and check them out, but sorry to say they do not match the lights that you see on.  Call Dell up and see if they can assist.  Are you still under warranty ?    Good luck

I have a diminsion 2400 that does not power up until I run heat into the power supply to activate some thermal controll. I have been looking for information on how to lower the setting for start up temp or a way to bypass this, am still looking. You can try running a hair blower into the fan holes for 1/2 to 1 miniute to see if you have this condition, as once my computer starts it runs fine untill I shut down for a period of 5 plus miniutes and then have to use heat gun again.

I found the mother board would not find the power supply unless I heated up the power supply , then the blinking led on mother board would become brighter when the motherboard would find the power  supply and the start button would work. I guess there is some failing cirquit in the power supply that will work when heated is all I know, and it seems to be a common problem that dell fails to respond to , so I shared what  works on my dell dim 2400's.

I Have a 2350 with the same problem as tlutz.

Only the (d) led is on.

fans are running

motherboard light is on

hard drive light barely glowing

i have removed all devices and it still wont start.
