2 yellow flashes then 1
Backstory, yesterday I was playing around with USBs and left my us in the computer when I turned it off, today I turned my pc on and I got no screen, and a sequence or 2 yellow flashes and a short pause, then another flash. I did some research and I got varying answers, I think it’s a system board failure. I’ve been trying to fix it, by trying to open BOIS with f2 but because the display isn't working I can’t tell. I've unplugged everything but power and monitor, I have taken out and placed my ram back in and I don’t know what to do. I don’t think having the usb in would change it but it may, which is why I added that part in. Also I bought my pc about a year and a half ago. I have he’s no trouble like this since

Unplug the system, remove the base cover and disconnect the battery from the system board. Hold the power button for 30 sec. Reassemble and test to see if it'll POST>

@ejn63 we will see if that works, I am away so I will test that when I come back. It sounds like it would work

If you have a stand alone video card remove it and re-seat it firmly. If same issue replace the CMOS Battery.
What type of Dell is it? R10? I see Google threads with the same issue and R10's. -- 2 yellow flashes then 1
