Dell Optiplex 3050 Micro blinking when turning on, but fixes after repluging power supply
Hello,
I have this problem, that when trying to turn of Dell Optiplex 3050 Micro, the power button starts to blink. I get 2+1 blinks, I looked it up and it suppose to be a bad motherboard. However, when I unplug and plug in the power supply, it starts to work. Could it be, that the problem is with the power supply battery?

CMOS battery could be bad.

My local grocery store carries DL2032 batteries for $6
they keep them in the back because people steal them.
Ask the guy behind the counter about medical supply CR2032 DL2032 battery.

Solution was this: I disconnected and reconnected the wire, that goes from AC adapter to electric socket. After that, there was no more problems so far.
