XPS 8940 blink code 4 amber, 2 white = CPU Power cable connection issue 

For starters, run the PSU BIST using the instructions for a PC without a PSU test button.

Assuming PSU passes the BIST, check the CPU cable connections to the motherboard, both #2 and #4 in the motherboard picture.  Carefully unplug each one and then reconnect it to the same motherboard connector.

Might also be a good time to install a fresh CR2032: 

  1. Power off, unplug power cord from rear of PC
  2. Press/hold power button for ~15 sec
  3. Open case and remove motherboard battery (check Service Manual for details)
  4. Press/hold power button for ~30 sec
  5. Install a fresh CR2032 3-volt coin cell battery, ~$3)
  6. Close up and connect mouse, monitor and keyboard
  7. Reboot
