IT WORKED! I can't thank you enough. My Dell 5830 would not boot up at all. Light on the front right was blinking yellow then white, then just stopped. After reseating the RAM, I reconnected the power, and WALLAH! It started right up like normal. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Awesome, help me solve the issue. Changed place of the RAM. Took one out. Changed place and then changed ram. Nothing helped. Then changed place again with one ram and magically it worked. Put the other ram back and that worked too! Thanks a lot!
This video saved my life…. My laptop was giving me the “black screen of death”. I had countless hours on drawings and projects saved on it. I was getting that exact blink code. Took the cover off the back. Removed my RAM and blew it out nintendo 64 style. After the reseat it was good to go! Currently making a backup for my files now as well..
Thank you so much for this. I opened my laptop last night to see if it was on dual or single channel, took the ram out to take some pictures so I get another one just like it and put it back in. Tried to turn it on this morning and saw that error. Almost passed out but it was just me that didn’t put it back in place as I should. Thank you so much! Was getting desperate here :)
Now that I have my laptop working again after your wonderful suggestion on reseating the RAM, should I be replacing the RAM ASAP or have I bought myself some more time?
Got this message after it sat doing nothing over christmas. It has a bad battery so figured it was just being an idiot. So I hit it a few times and tried again, and it worked.
What if none of the steps shown in the video fixes the issue? I blown both slots with compressed air and switched modules, no luck. The RAM module is actually working just fine in another Latitude 7490 so, what's next? Ideas? (besides the obvious which would be buying a new laptop...)
Have you tried both RAM slots? I would try these two videos: Release Flea power: ruclips.net/video/TA1mFPtKVnw/видео.html Bios reset: ruclips.net/video/bZSz-jjexqM/видео.html
Any ideas on what could be going on if the power LED is flashing white (consistently) with no LED flash of any sort from the other LED (LED light that flashed orange at the start of the video)? What I have done so far, removed RAM stick and installed it in the other slot, removed battery and plugged in power adapter (turned on fine). My best guess is the battery died but it was working fine the day before with no signs of failure. Battery looks to be in fine condition but I am not familiar with laptop batteries. Maybe a connection between the battery and computer?
That can be a battery problem when it flashes like that. Dell has a built in diagnostic that will tell you the health of your battery. You can access it from your boot menu. Hit power, immediately start tapping on F12 then when the boot screen comes up use your arrow keys to select diagnostic. Hit enter then see if your battery passes the diagnostic.
Screen backlight turns on but no display. Getting the 2 amber pause then 3 white lights. Have tried swapping ram stick from slot A to slot B and also have another 2 8gb sticks i tried in each slot (6 total combinations tried) and same problem with the lights still. Any ideas?
You could try cleaning out the ports with a can of compressed air. Do it with the battery and power cord unplugged. Make sure not to plug it back in until everything is dry.
When a computer just powers off randomly, more often over time, then won't even boot up, just dies when the Dell logo appears, or even before then. So, remove the only single RAM stick and power on and gives 3 Blue 2 Orange on a Dell Optiplex Micro 7000. Would that mean it was the RAM that is faulty, or it is detecting that there is no RAM? I suppose the latter but then we don't know if the RAM was faulty or the motherboard or CPU is still faulty but simply the motherboard has detected no RAM and so not progressing to the next stage of boot that causes it to die?
Ya its not detecting a RAM stick that's why you are getting that LED code. You would have to buy a new stick to see if the RAM is the problem. Also could be a power issue. Here is a video on how to diagnose that: ruclips.net/video/UIZitN-cnik/видео.html
So if its 3 blinks paause then 2 blinks that's a LED code for a PCI or Video problem. If it is 2 blinks pause then 3 then that's a LED code for a RAM problem.
I looked everywhere for this code and as soon as you mentioned RAM, I remembered I took it out of this laptop to put in another. :D Thank you I was going in circles.

I noticed that the lights are blinking 4 and 1, and when I turned on the laptop it showed a message that the battery was low and it shut off. I plugged the AC again and turned it on but when I reached the desktop screen, I could see the battery icon moving like it's charging but aftee a few secs it prompted the low battery message again and locked or shut off. I tried removing the battery and turned it on with the AC only and it works fine. I shut it off and pushed on the power button to drain the flea power, put the battery back and the AC but it still won't work.

@@EggheadFixers The ePSA Pre-boot System Assessment did not mention about anything being bad. Yesterday, the results and the event log showed, "Fail PSA V4302 Error 2000:0132. Validate Code : 127081 Battery - The battery is reaching the end of its usable life." I did the quick test again today and it all passed, but after going for a 2nd test it showed the same error message. I'd also like to mention that there is a fine crack on the left palm rest of my laptop coming from the corner of the USB port and it goes just under where the Fn key is. It's probably from the times I dropped or bumped the laptop while in my bag. It's not noticable unless you actually look at it. I'm not sure about this but it seems like ever since I found that crack, if I rest my palm around that spot while typing, the flickering line (sorry, I don't know what it's called) would go somewhere else as if I clicked it there and I'd end up messing what I have typed or am typing. I wonder if that has made any damage or effect on the inner parts of my laptop. You also mistakenly pasted the same video reference link for the charger testing and CMOS battery.
@@YTBurner Sounds like your battery may be starting to fail. You could try replacing the battery if that doesn't do it then I would replace the power cord next.
Is there any kyboard words to press or push like fun I tried everything before that my laptop was fine I just opened and re packed all is fine I did before but I'm wondering if there any button because i remember whenever when I pressed the button it turned on now this not just that orange this 😐
It could be that RAM came lose and that's why it's suddenly giving you problems. It's a pretty common problem with laptops. The RAM can loosen from being moved around over time and then you will get an issue like this. There is also always the possibility that on e of the RAM sticks has failed.

If its socketed (removable) and not integrated into the motherboard then sometimes you can try what we call reseating it which means removing it and then reinstalling it. This sometimes works because a CPU error code can be caused by a bad connection between the motherboard and the CPU. Although if that does not work then you most likely need to replace it. Let me know if you have any more questions:)

@@EggheadFixers The ePSA Pre-boot System Assessment did not mention about anything being bad. Yesterday, the results and the event log showed, "Fail PSA V4302 Error 2000:0132. Validate Code : 127081 Battery - The battery is reaching the end of its usable life." I did the quick test again today and it all passed, but after going for a 2nd test it showed the same error message.
I'd also like to mention that there is a fine crack on the left palm rest of my laptop coming from the corner of the USB port and it goes just under where the Fn key is. It's probably from the times I dropped or bumped the laptop while in my bag. It's not noticable unless you actually look at it. I'm not sure about this but it seems like ever since I found that crack, if I rest my palm around that spot while typing, the flickering line (sorry, I don't know what it's called) would go somewhere else as if I clicked it there and I'd end up messing what I have typed or am typing. I wonder if that has made any damage or effect on the inner parts of my laptop.
You also mistakenly pasted the same video reference link for the charger testing and CMOS battery.
@@YTBurner Sounds like your battery may be starting to fail. You could try replacing the battery if that doesn't do it then I would replace the power cord next.
Is there any kyboard words to press or push like fun I tried everything before that my laptop was fine I just opened and re packed all is fine I did before but I'm wondering if there any button because i remember whenever when I pressed the button it turned on now this not just that orange this 😐
It could be that RAM came lose and that's why it's suddenly giving you problems. It's a pretty common problem with laptops. The RAM can loosen from being moved around over time and then you will get an issue like this. There is also always the possibility that on e of the RAM sticks has failed.

2, 7 white after all I'm confused I cleaned ram and I got this code blinking 2 by7 dell Inspiron 15 5559 kinda like that it's with bios I also cleaned and replaced battery still have no idea 😐

Hi. My Dell 7640 have 3 orange 1 white blinking ligth. It´s a RTC battery error as I know.... but also changing the RTC battery, re solded the cable conector, the RTC battery socket, and checked the components of the RTC/USB card i can´t resolve my issue... 3 orange 1 white blinking still there.... Do you know how can I do?
Have you tried replacing the power cord? If the power cord is not giving it enough power then the RTC battery will not charge. Also how is the regular battery?
@@EggheadFixers re solder the RTC socket again solved the issue. Thanks for the anwer!!

Ok, I have that error code, but the CPU is what is causing it. Is there any saving the CPU? Trying to avoid buying a new one.
If its socketed (removable) and not integrated into the motherboard then sometimes you can try what we call reseating it which means removing it and then reinstalling it. This sometimes works because a CPU error code can be caused by a bad connection between the motherboard and the CPU. Although if that does not work then you most likely need to replace it. Let me know if you have any more questions:)

Did you try and flash the BIOS before the flashing light pattern started? The blinking pattern you described indicates a system board failure or recovery image not found. Hopefully the motherboard did not fail. You could try clearing the CMOS settings.

Did you get a name brand kind of RAM? Also have you tried cleaning out the RAM ports with some compressed air?
Hi its me again
But what if it is the Ram Port ??
What can we doo ?
You can you try cleaning it out with a can of compressed air but if that doesn't work then you will have to get the motherboard repaired or replace it.
Cleaning the RAM contacts helps. There can be dust in there.
Ya that is an excellent point. Thanks for sharing!

A 2 1 LED code is a motherboard, power supply, CPU or loose cable. Have you done any thing with the computer that could cause a loose cable? If not I would try a BIOS reset. It resets the computers base system which can sometimes fix this error. Here is a video on how to do that:
