plugging something in a wrong place can fry the whole computer
im not really saying im gonna run the pc without that fan
im trying to test if the pc will boot without it
and i cant tell if my psu is the problem , its giving power to the fans
inside the case ( cpu-gpu ) and the power supply fan itself is spinning
so i cant really tell if there is anything wrong with the psu
though a solid amber light means there is either a mobo problem or a
power problem


Well you could use this opportunity to learn about the inner workings of
a pc.
You certainly have an interest in computers.
This site has lots of info about building pc's ---

You can also download the Vostro Service/Owners Manual, which includes
diagrams for all the components, ports, and connectors.
Study the manual, then label each connector, and make a note of where it
is connected, make sketches too if that helps. Taking a few pics of the
motherboard and connectors is helpful too.

Make sure to unplug the computer before working on it.
Use a ground strap, or at the very least touch the case frequently to
prevent static from building-up. Walking around on a carpet can cause
alot of static build-up, as well as low humidity in the house especially
in winter.

Just something to consider...
