Did you let the residual power discharge? after removing the power cable, press the power button & wait for atleast 5 mins. Just want to confirm is your beep pattern exactly the same as in video? If the beep pattern is even slightly different, it means there is something else wrong, related to the motherboard or Power Supply unit etc. the following articles should be helpful in identifying. kindly select "Inspiron": www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-au/000126021/a-reference-guide-to-the-dell-optiplex-diagnostic-indicators www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-au/000124349/understanding-beep-codes-on-a-dell-desktop-pc

Does pressing the power button result in anything? Like if you were to short press it, does it go to sleep/hibernation/ shut down? (Depending on your settings) If there is no result, i suspect the power button is spoilt. Its a cheap part & easy to fix.
