UNSOLVED
INSPIRON 3847 No Power
Stopped working. Will not restart. Removed all external connections. Unplug and held button down still nothing. Pushed PSU BIST button and got green light. Disconnected all power supply connections and reconnected one at a time .PSU light comes on. Reconnected all internals. NOW WHEN I PRESS PSU BUTTON THE FRONT POWER BUTTON LIGHTS UP WHITE .However shuts off when I release the PSU BUTTON. What should I try next?

What you have described sounds similar to what I experienced on my Inspiron 620. The solution for my Inspiron 620 turned out to be simple and cheap: replace the motherboard battery. Read the thread to see how it compares with your situation.

You can try removing the front panel and try to turn on with the physical button underneath, if still the same, then first you can try to replace the button, if not the motherbaord.

Hi,
When you say that you disconnected all power supply connections, are we talking about memory, hard drive, graphics card if any??
Does the machine stays on without the internal components??
