Inspiron 3847 flash amber 5

Hello. Whenever I start my PC it flashes amber 5 times. I turn off the PC then start it back up again normally. Anyone have any ideas?

Replace the coin cell battery with a fresh new battery.  Refer to page 48 of User Manual for instructions.

Thank you, but what is wrong with the battery? Is this a way to fix it?

The battery could be low.  It then affects BIOS which then affects PC operation.

Yes, that is a cheap fix for 10 years old system with a dead battery.
