4 white and 2 amber light
Inspiron 5401/5408
It's been like almost 10 times this is happening since a month. Laptop doesn't switch on. All i have to do is wait to drain all the battery and then charge again to start it. What should i do to solve this issue?

Draining lithium batteries is bad practice that has weakened it. That was for old style batteries that are no longer used. See the service manual for light codes-

Always start your computer with the adapter attached and plugged into an outlet. If it does start ok your battery is probably weak and failing. If still under one yr warranty, contact Dell Support directly.
