3 amber 5 white followed by 2 amber 4 white.
Hey everyone
So i have a dell inspiron 15 3520 i5 12th gen and it suddenly refused to boot. The power light started blinking 3 amber and 5 white for 5-6 iterations and then switched to 2 amber 4 white. The previous error corresponds to power rail failure and the next one says ram module error. What should I do next? Please help.

Unplug the system and disconnect the battery from the mainboard. Hold the power button for 30 sec, remove and reinstall the memory modules and reassemble. See if the system will then powerup. If not...
Hopefully the system is under warranty, since the solution is a replacement system board, which will otherwise be an expensive repair.

You'd have to call Dell to find out, but with boards for these selling for under $200 on EBay you'll likely find it more expensive than just paying for a repair.
