3050, LED flash codes
Hi there folks. Looking for some advice. We have a 3050 SFF that when the power button is pressed the LED flashes orange 3 times followed by 6 white flashes We also have a 3050 MFF that when the power button is pressed the LED flashes orange 2 times followed by 7 white flashes. We have reseated everything that can be reseted but to no avail. Any ideas?

Re seating does not fix BAD or INCOMPATIBLE ram.
S3 MEM 2, 7 2 blinks followed by a short pause, 7 blinks, long pause, then repeats Memory failures - Memory subsystem configuration activity is in progress. Appropriate memory modules were detected but a memory failure has occurred.
- If you can assist to troubleshoot, narrow down the issue with reseating memory and swapping a known good memory if available.
- If nothing works, replace the memory.
Power Button LED State Description
Off Power is Off. LED is blank. Blinking Amber Initial State of LED at power up. Refer to the table below for Blinking Amber pattern diagnostic suggestions and possible failures. Solid Amber The second state of the LED at power up, indicates that the POWER_GOOD signal is active and it is probable that the power supply is fine. Blinking White System is in a low power state, either S1 or S3. This does not indicate a fault condition. Solid White System is in S0 state. This is the normal power states of a functioning machine. The BIOS will turn the LED to this states to indicate it has started fetching op-codes.

3 flashes (2 and 1) are a bad motherboard.
The chart does not show just 2 flashes.
White is a "low power state and not always a fault condition.
Here is the Dell chart.
