Discussion in 'Tech-to-Tech Computer Help' started by shamrin, Oct 31, 2010. shamrin Expand Collapse Active Member Likes Received: 40 Location: Lexington, Ky I've got a Dell Inspiron 1526 with no POST, no screen activity, no disk activity. The dash lights do come on but they stop with the Caps Lock and Num Lock lights blinking fast. This can't be good but I can't find anywhere (including the Dell site) that says dell laptop battery definitively what this means. Taking out the RAM and/or HDD has no impact on the sequence, so this must be the system board but it would be nice to have an authoritative reference. Does anyone know or have a link to what these blink codes mean? #1 shamrin, Oct 31, 2010 B Trevathan Expand Collapse Member Likes Received: 17 Location: Tennessee, USA Have you tried booting without the battery in and just from the power adapter? Are you holding the Fn key down while pressing the power button (PSA Boot Method) to get the codes? If you are getting this: I think that means a keyboard problem. If your getting this: I think that means a video error. If it is a system board I think all three would blink like this: #2 B Trevathan, Oct 31, 2010 fixitdaz Expand Collapse Member Likes Received: 1 Location: Pershore UK This link is for the psa codes http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/document?c=us&l=en&s=gen&docid=14B3819735D6B40EE0401E0A55177ED2 #3 fixitdaz, Oct 31, 2010 shamrin Expand Collapse Active Member Likes Received: 40 Location: Lexington, Ky B Trevathan said: ↑ Have you tried booting without the battery in and just from the power adapter?

Yesterday when I booted up my computer, one of the four normally green lights at the bottom of my computer (below the keyboard) started flashing red/orange at me. Since the computer didn't give me any error messages, I figured it was something I did shutting down or starting up, so I re-started and the problem seemed to go away, as the light went back to green. However, today, I've been using the computer and surfing the internet for over an hour and the light started up again a few minutes ago, seemingly out of nowhere. I haven't done anything differently and it still won't give me error messages, so I have no idea what kind of problem the light could be indicating or even if it's just the light on it's own. Obviously I'm concerned about it, but since I don't know what it is I thought it might be something I want to be aware of, and I don't want to just re-start my computer every time I see this if it is something important. Hopefully this is in the right place -- Honestly, I have no idea, because this site just came up when I typed the problem into google, so I'm just trying. See more Laptop is flashing at me?
