Maybe.

Understandable.

I'm not familiar with the T610.  We frequently need to do what Dell
calls a "flea power drain".  Remove all power cords and likely all other
cables.  Press and hold the i button for 30 seconds.  Wait a couple of
minutes and try powering up again.  Sometimes the BMC gets confused.

Do you have a power supply from another T610 to try?  Is it worth the
nominal investment to purchase another power supply to try?
