2 Orange, 4 White = Memory/RAM failure
Instead of beep codes errors are indicated via bicolor power button LED. A specific blink pattern is followed by flashing a pattern of flashes in amber, followed by white. The pattern then repeats.

Thanks Chris M, I cleaned my RAMs and now the machine works, hopefully it is only because the RAM is dirty

I had the exact same problem where my computer would only boot up to a black screen (screen works fine though if you test it with D+pwr button). I swapped my ram stick into the other slot (I had 1 stick of ram but 2 slots) and was getting 2 amber and 4 white. Then I cleaned the ram stick and ram slots with canned air, reinserted the RAM and it worked fine after that. I'm not sure if the stick or the slot had gotten dirty but if one of them does, it bricks your computer.
