Dell Precision T3500 #2 green light blinking+power button solid orange+no boot
Hi, I have Dell Precicion T3500 Workstation. When i push the power button that not boot, the screen does not activated, the #2 green led is blinking and the power button is solid orange. This happens when the ram memories and the graphics card are installed on the motherboard and when they are not installed.
I saw the technical report of Diagnostic lights and beep codes but i didn't find the diagnostic led pattern for my problem.
Has anyone seen something similar? I have no idea what it could be this, any thought will be useful.
Thanks,
Yiannakis

Hi @Yiannakis ,
I answered here - https://www.dell.com/community/Precision-Fixed-Workstations/Dell-t3500-2nd-LED-blinking/m-p/7763152/highlight/false#M5699
Looks like you could probably skip the RAM part of it though as you said you removed it with no change in behavior.

I almost can't believe I forgot to mention this before. Replace the size 2032 CMOS battery. Energizer or Duracell is suggested as Sony only lasted me 2 years. They should last 5. Better deals on Amazon than in store.
Afterwards, one of 2 things should happen. It either starts working or it throws a more accurate error code. Been there, done that in this forum. A low battery will cause all sorts of seemingly unrelated bizarre problems.
I did give this same answer to @Gary1986 who is having similar problems. See link above if you still want to see the other thread.

hi, i replaced the battery with a new one and it now gives an audio code. I cannot attach it now as it doesn't happen on every boot (one in 7 or so) i think it goes 2-(3 or 2)- (3 or 2) i am completely unsure and not fluent in dell beep codes
