Dell Inspiron 519 Won't Power Up

When the computer power cord is plugged in, the green LED on back of PC (by the power cord) lights dimly, the amber light on MB is on, no light from power switch.  When power button is pressed, absolutely nothing happens.When I remove the main (24-pin) power connector from the MB, the green light on back comes on brightly lit; if I then plug the main PS connector back in to the MB, the green LED dims significantly.
