Working on your computer
Safety instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer from potential damage and to help to ensure your personal safety.
Unless otherwise noted, each procedure included in this document assumes that the following conditions exist:
• You have read the safety information that shipped with your computer.
• A component can be replaced or--if purchased separately--installed by performing the removal procedure in reverse order.
WARNING: Disconnect all power sources before opening the computer cover or panels. After you finish working inside the
computer, replace all covers, panels, and screws before connecting to the power source.
WARNING: Before working inside your computer, read the safety information that shipped with your computer. For additional
safety best practices information, see the Regulatory Compliance Homepage at www.dell.com/regulatory_compliance
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple
repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team.
Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions
that came with the product.
CAUTION: To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist grounding strap or by periodically touching an
unpainted metal surface, such as a connector on the back of the computer.
CAUTION: Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts on a card. Hold a card by its
edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Hold a component such as a processor by its edges, not by its pins.
CAUTION: When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its pull-tab, not on the cable itself. Some cables have
connectors with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before you disconnect the
cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a
cable, ensure that both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
NOTE: The color of your computer and certain components may appear differently than shown in this document.
Before working inside your computer
To avoid damaging your computer, perform the following steps before you begin working inside the computer.
1 Ensure that you follow the Safety instructions.
2 Ensure that your work surface is flat and clean to prevent the computer cover from being scratched.
3 Turn off your computer, see Turning off your computer.
CAUTION: To disconnect a network cable, first unplug the cable from your computer and then unplug the cable from the
network device.
4 Disconnect all the network cables from the computer.
5 Disconnect your computer and all attached devices from the electrical outlets.
6 Press and hold the power button while the computer is unplugged to ground the system board.
7 Remove the cover.
CAUTION: Before touching anything inside your computer, ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface, such as
the metal at the back of the computer. While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface to dissipate static
electricity, which could harm internal components.

Diagnostics
If you experience a problem with your computer, run the ePSA diagnostics before contacting Dell for technical assistance. The purpose of
running diagnostics is to test your computer's hardware without requiring additional equipment or risking data loss. If you are unable to fix
the problem yourself, service and support personnel can use the diagnostics results to help you solve the problem.
Topics:
• Enhanced Pre-Boot System Assessment (ePSA) diagnostics
• Device status lights
• Battery status lights
Enhanced Pre-Boot System Assessment (ePSA)
diagnostics
The ePSA diagnostics (also known as system diagnostics) performs a complete check of your hardware. The ePSA is embedded with the
BIOS and is launched by the BIOS internally. The embedded system diagnostics provides a set of options for particular devices or device
groups allowing you to:
• Run tests automatically or in an interactive mode
• Repeat tests
• Display or save test results
• Run thorough tests to introduce additional test options to provide extra information about the failed device(s)
• View status messages that inform you if tests are completed successfully
• View error messages that inform you of problems encountered during testing
CAUTION: Use the system diagnostics to test only your computer. Using this program with other computers may cause invalid
results or error messages.
NOTE: Some tests for specific devices require user interaction. Always ensure that you are present at the computer terminal
when the diagnostic tests are performed.
You can launch the ePSA diagnostics in two ways:
1 Power-on the computer.
2 As the computer boots, press the F12 key as the Dell logo appears.
3 On the boot menu screen, select the Diagnostics option.
The Enhanced Pre-boot System Assessment window displays, listing all devices detected in the computer. The diagnostics starts
running the tests on all the detected devices.
4 If you wish to run a diagnostic test on a specific device, press Esc and click Yes to stop the diagnostic test.
5 Select the device from the left pane and click Run Tests
6 If there are any issues, error codes are displayed.
Note the error code and contact Dell.
OR
1 Shutdown the computer.
2 Press and hold the fn key, while pressing the power button, and then release both.

Device status lights
Table 2. Device status lights
Icon Name Description
Power
status light
Turns on when you turn on the computer and blinks when the computer is in a power management mode.
Hard drive
status light
Turns on when the computer reads or writes data.
Battery
charge
indicator
Turns on steadily or blinks to indicate battery charge status.
The device status LEDs are usually located either on the top or left side of the keyboard. They display the storage, battery and wireless
devices connectivity and activity. Apart from that they can be useful as a diagnostic tool when there's a possible failure to the system.
NOTE: The position of the power status light may vary depending on the system.
The following table lists how to read the LED codes when possible errors occur.
Table 3. Battery charge LED indicator
Amber blinking pattern Problem description Suggested resolution
2,1 CPU CPU failure
2,2 System board: BIOS ROM System board, covers BIOS corruption or ROM error
2,3 Memory No memory/RAM detected
2,4 Memory Memory/RAM failure
2,5 Memory Invalid memory installed
2,6 System board: Chipset System board/Chipset error
2,7 LCD Replace the system board
3,1 RTC Power Failure CMOS battery failure
3,2 PCI/Video PCI or video card/chip failure
3,3 BIOS Recovery 1 Recovery image not found
3,4 BIOS Recovery 2 Recovery image found but invalid
The blinking patterns will consist of 2 set of numbers being represented by (First Group: Amber blinks, Second Group: White blinks)
Diagnostics 59

NOTE:
1 First Group: The LED blinks 1 to 9 times followed by a brief pause with LED off at the interval of 1.5 seconds.(This is in Amber
color)
2 Second Group: The LED blinks 1 to 9 times, that would be then followed by a longer pause before the next cycle starts again at
the interval of 1.5 seconds.(This is in White color)
For Example: No Memory detected (2,3), Battery LED blinks two times of amber color followed by a pause, and then blinks three times of
white color. The Battery LED will pause for 3 seconds before the next cycle repeat itself again.
Battery status lights
If the computer is connected to an electrical outlet, the battery light operates as follows:
Alternately blinking
amber light and
white light
An unauthenticated or unsupported non-Dell AC adapter is attached to your laptop.
Alternately blinking
amber light with
steady white light
Temporary battery failure with AC adapter present.
Constantly blinking
amber light
Fatal battery failure with AC adapter present.
Light off Battery in full charge mode with AC adapter present.
White light on Battery in charge mode with AC adapter present.
