Dell 5630 Inspiron 3 Amber, 5 White Blinks

Hello. My Dell 5630 has stopped turning on. Indicator light is 3 amber 5 white. The website says it is a problem with Power-rail failure. But I have a working motherboard from the same model. Replaced the board but nothing changed. Tried disconnecting the battery and running directly from the charger also nothing. I also tried connecting to an external display. The notebook starts up once but after 2-3 minutes of work it shuts down. What can be the problem besides the motherboard?

Hi

Outdated BIOS firmware can occasionally cause power rail errors.

Before updating the BIOS, ensure that you suspend BitLocker encryption on a BitLocker-enabled system.
