![How to Fix or Troubleshoot a Laptop That Won’t Turn On [#2] (Blinking Caps Lock)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/eUR9Z9YOwWY/mqdefault.jpg)
My computer broke down about a month before my AP exams, just fixed it with some time to finish studying on my laptop! Thank you so much!
You're welcome!!
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!
You're welcome!
Thank you! I hadn't realised that Dell used silent beep codes, and your pointer to the LED code 3-2 being memory was really helpful
Glad to hear it!!
I can’t describe how relieved I am thank you so much.
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for this video. I was able to fix my wife's dell laptop. Re-seating the RAM module in another slot did the trick. Thank you again.
Excellent!
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..
Ya making a backup us always a good idea. Happy to hear it worked out!
thx this video was helpful and what made it even more helpful was that im using the exact same dell laptop as the one in the video
oh wow that worked out for you. Glad it helped
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!
You're welcome!! Good job troubleshooting:)
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 :)
Happy it worked for you!! Ya they can be pain to reinstall. It has to be just right or it will not work at all.
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.
Nice!! Glad it worked out:)
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:

Bios reset:

Hey thanks a lot for this info. It was useful to me as my laptop worked after doing it the way it's explained.
Awesome!! Happy it helped:)
Super! 10X !
Great and clear explanation.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for making the time for this video! Kind person
Glad it was helpful!
This worked a treat! Thanks for posting the video
You're welcome!!
THIS WORKED!
Glad to hear it!!
Thank you for you solve my big problem 🙏
You're welcome!
I finally able to turn on my new inspiron 15 thanks to your video! It's been blank screen since I bought it
Wow glad we could help!
Thanks for the video! I assume if it's soldered RAM we just need a motherboard replacement?
Yes, that is correct
You save my work and emplyment hahaha thanks!
Glad I could help!
You are the best!
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?
Sometimes the RAM is just lose so you can definitely wait and see if it gives you any more trouble.
Thank you, worked just like you said!
Glad to hear it!!
Black screen after sleep mode of 1 week and led blinking 3 white and 2 amber what is problem in my dell inspiron 3501 can you help..?
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 am facing same problem its 3 2 ..whats the solution???
Thanks!
Welcome!
Thanks a lot.. ♥️
I just swap RAMs and it works like a charm..
Excellent!!🙂👍
Thank you so much!
You're welcome
Thank you ....but my laptop is still not working so I'm going to take it to dell service centre but how many money it will need ??
That really depends on what's wrong with it. This also varies from country to country.
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
Thank you so much, my laptop has been broken for months and I've been to lazy to get it fixed lol
haha glad it worked out
What about 6 white and 3 orange ? NEED HELP PLEAASE
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.
@@EggheadFixers tried it and still nothing happen , i hear the fan working and the keyboard lights turn on but nothing on the screen
@@appland5574 Did this happening after trying to flash BIOS?
@@EggheadFixers yes
@@appland5574 You could try the Dell BIOS recovery options here: www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/sln300716/bios-recovery-options-on-a-dell-pc-or-tablet
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.
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.
Glad we could help!
Hi! I’m trying to do this but some of the screws won’t come out or twist out
You may need to magnetize your screwdriver if you leave it on a strong magnetic for about an hour then it will be magnetized. That way the screws should come out when you pull the screwdriver out of the hole.
Hi, I tried this, but it didn't work. Also, it did 2-4 and 2-5 flashings. What do you think?
It can also be a problem with the port itself. You could try cleaning the port out with a can of compressed air.
You’re the best!!!!
😀👍
Cleaning the RAM contacts helps. There can be dust in there.
Ya that is an excellent point. Thanks for sharing!
Hi! Very interesting video. What about the code 3 orange flashes and 1 white? Do you have any idea? Thank you in advance
Hi! Thanks! This LED code can be RAM which you would test with the method in this video, it can also be a CPU or motherboard issue. Hope that helps:)
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.
@@EggheadFixers it blinkds orange
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 😐
@@ghjgjgjttytttt Error code 2 7 indicates a screen issue. Usually an issue with the LCD (screen) or LDC cable. You confirm this if you can hook it up to a monitor and it displays to a monitor.
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:
th-cam.com/video/UIZitN-cnik/w-d-xo.html
@@EggheadFixers thank you, it's a micro desktop but did try holding down power button with power cord removed. Getting the RAM replaced. Thanks!

How do you fix a ram port? (Dell Latitude E6430) I have the blink issue when I input to my 2nd slot. I tested for both ram sticks. 2 8'Sticks Ram, both ddr3 work in 1slot. The computer blinks (won't turn on) when I install both ram sticks & works on 1 8'Stick ram only. It slightly slipped out of my hand 2/12 inches & dropped back down on the table. That's when the issue arose. Before this both 8'Sticks worked fine in my PC in both slots... What to do?
Usually to fix the RAM port you have to replace the whole motherboard.
how about 3 amber 2 amber LED power
A PCI or Video Card failure
Hiii how are you
My i got a 3 amber blinking and 1 white
My dell wont turn on every time i plug it i got the 3 orange and 1 white led code
How to i fix it ?
This LED code is for RTC Power Failure or CMOS battery failure. Has your screen been distorted? Have you had any power issues? Has your computer been giving you any warnings?
@@EggheadFixers actually i checked the cmos battery i test it with my multimeter i got 2.9 v so i assumed that the cmos was good
So i tried starting my laptop like u told me without 1 ram…… and i got a message. It said ( the Ac power input…….)
@@EggheadFixers I think that is probably a power jack issue
What do you think?
??
Didn't worked.....
2 amber and 3 white light blinking did step by step...
What to do tell pls....
Some times it can be that both sticks are not working in rare cases or it can be that there is something wrong with the actual RAM port itself.
I have tried and still no luck,
- swapped RAM to different slots.
- power ON button for 30secs with battery removed and power cord plugged.
Still 2amber and 5-6 whitle blinks and nothing on the acreen, please advise?
LED code 2 6 can be a motherboard issue. I would try a BIOS reset. It can sometimes revive a dead motherboard. Here is a link to a video on how to do that:
th-cam.com/video/bZSz-jjexqM/w-d-xo.html
how about if the power button and power led blinks every 5seconds only white
on an old inspiron 1440
Error code 1 1 can be a bad motherboard or a bad battery. Does it turn on?
@@EggheadFixers guess its the MB removed the battery even tried another charger,..
@@Spencer0090 Ya sorry to hear that😢
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?

Let me know how it goes:)
Hello! My laptop's LED light is blinking 3 amber 1 white.
My sister has been using my laptop lately and she left it plugged earlier before I used it. There was a prompt shown about the AC adaptor so I just dimissed it because I assumed it was the usual where I just had to replug the charger. I don't remember if I replugged it or unplugged, but after an hour of use, youtube was still buffering even though the internet is fine so I hibernated the laptop since I won't be using it anymore.
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.
I went to diagnostics and the battery charge kept changing from 0% and 100%. Battery health is changing from 26% and 100%. Battery voltage is changing too. Current flow is 0mA. Charging state is Idle.
I don't know what to do 😭
4 1 is a problem with the CMOS Battery problem which can be that CMOS battery (the battery on the motherboard) needs replacing or it can mean its the CMOS isn't getting enough power because of a bad battery or bad power cord. Did the diagnostic say the battery and/or charger was bad?
Also here is a video on how to test your charger:

If you want to see what a CMOS battery looks like this video is on a different issue but shows you how to remove and replace a CMOS battery:

@@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.

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.

@@jampongsworld2115 It shouldn't effect any of your data.
thank you so much
@@jampongsworld2115 You're welcome
Tried the same thing but still same problem 😔
There is always the chance that both sticks are bad but its unlikely. Another possibility is it could be a problem with the motherboard itself.
Thanks
@@enoch7284 no prob👍
Mine is flashing 3 orange and 5 white plz help meeee🙏🏽
That is not a listed Dell error code. Are you sure its 3 5?
Yes it’s a school laptop
Please reply back ASAP
@@red1148 Ok well the motherboard is giving of an unknown error code so it having some sort of error. I would try a BIOS reset. This a fairly invasive procedure so if its a school computer then you may be better exchanging it for another one. Here is a video on a BIOS reset:

What to do for a flash code for 2,2 led
Is it sill turning on? if it is sometimes this can be related to your Date and Time not being set correctly in BIOS. Here is a video on a different problem but it shows you how to set the date and time:

Let me know how it goes:)
Did not work ,😢
What problem are you having with your computer?
Hi dear how are you i need help my laptop dell E7240 power led blink again & again bit won't turn on my laptop i am already checking everything like ram change etc kindly tell me how to fix this problem
Does the Led lights blink in sort of pattern?
Egghead Fixers Continue blinking after every 3 sec
@@informativehub2242 yes but is it any sort of pattern like 2 blinks and then 4 or is just keep blinking steadily.
Egghead Fixers thanx for your reply my problem now fixed after change cmos battery
@@informativehub2242 Excellent!! Good job troubleshooting
Welp my dell computer broke but im getting mah 4000 dollar pc next 3 years. 😃
Oooo what computer are you thinking of getting??
This happens too me when its plugged in and I on it
Ya then there is a pretty good chance that you may have a RAM problem. I would try the steps in the video to check your RAM
So if I take it out and put it back in will it work?
@@thakevway2x140 Sometimes just taking out your RAM and putting it back in will do it but if one of the RAM sticks are bad then that will not do it. If you follow the steps in the video it will help.
I can't believe that worked. I just unplugged the battery ( I wasnt even sure that was the battery) found what I thought was the ram stick - reseated it and it works. Question - Is this a sign the ram stick is failing ? or - Is everything cool now ?
If it happens once then it may not be a problem. If it keeps on happening then you may need to replace your RAM
