Hello grietbulte,
I am from Dell Social Media and Community.
As per your notes at start up the system is blinking amber which means
-Initial state of LED at power up.
-Indicates system has power, but the POWER_GOOD signal is not yet active.
-If the Hard Drive LED is off, it is probable that the power supply needs to be replaced.
-If the Hard Drive LED on, it is probable that an onboard regulator or VRM has failed. Look at the diagnostic LEDs for further information.
Follow the link below to further verify the Diagnostic Light Codes before or during POST.
