What do you mean LED1, LED2 and LED3???

LED on the right hand (from left to right): Power, HDD, Battery

LED on the desk (near MD button, from left to right): Numlock ON/OFF, Caps Lock ON/OFF, Scroll Lock ON/OFF, Wifi, Bluetooth.

Te battery, HDD, Ram are OK.

I have tested it on another Inspiron and works fine.

The computer starts randomly, the DELL test said "all is ok".
But the 50 percent of the start the computer don't boot. (no bios screens, nothing..only led blinking)

Thanks

I don't know but considering the cost of the battery vs anything else it might be worth a shot.

do you have one memory chip or two chips? if you have one , try to insert it in a different memory bank , for example if it is inserted now in DIMM A , try putting it in DIMM B , if you have two memory chips , take one away , and keep testing with just one chip by re inserting it in each bank , and for sure test your notebook after each try. sometimes in the Inspiron 6400 a memory bank goes bad while the other one is working.

ok, when the coin cell was replaced, the problem was solved. stranger, but real
