MORE UPDATE: Dell Optiplex SX260 Computer Won't Boot Up

Hi,

More Update:

I replaced every one of those 2200/6.3V with new Nichicon 2200uf 10V

105 deg. caps (verified good by testing them), but that did not fix the problem. The symptoms are exactly the same as I described in my original post. Note: I also replaced some other caps that had higher than normal ESR (eg. 220uf 16V caps).

Note: I measured in circuit the +5V and +12V voltage sources, and both were "clean" (scoped) and at the proper level.

Without a schematic, there isn't much more I can do. I have decided to abandon this repair attempt.

how about the 3.3V ? How About the - voltages from the supply?

How about removing some cards like the video card to see if it'll post?

How about checking the actual on button on the cabinet?

Unplug the HD to see if you get a post ?

Have you removed memory chips?

There is always that possibility you have a bad MB..................... like Flash rom bad ( no bios) CPU is dead from over heating, small onboard processor not work etc....
