Emachine T2792 boot issue

emachine T2792 will not boot (post)

I'm looking at a emachine t2792 for a friend that boots to steady flashing amber power and keyboard lights (no post). CPU fan runs. I removed and re-seated cables and cards and replaced PSU w/neg (same) results. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I would suspect a defective power supply or a mobo that is going bad. PSU power testers are pretty cheap these days, if you dont have access to another power supply to check if the PSU is the problem then you might want to pick up a tester.
