Repair

Hi

The 2 amber and 4 white blinking lights on a Dell Inspiron 15 laptop indicate a RAM (memory) issue. This diagnostic LED code is Dell’s way of signalling a memory fault, which can cause the laptop not to boot or show any display.

How to Fix:

1. Power off the laptop and unplug it.

2. Open the laptop’s bottom panel to access the RAM modules (refer to your service manual for exact steps).

3. Reseat the RAM: Remove the RAM sticks carefully by releasing the clips and then firmly reinsert them into their slots.

4. Test by booting with one RAM stick at a time if you have multiple modules, to identify if one is faulty.

5. If reseating doesn’t help, try cleaning the RAM contacts gently with a soft eraser or isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth.

6. If a RAM module is faulty, replace it with a compatible one.

7. If problems persist and you have only one RAM slot or soldered memory, the motherboard might need repair or replacement.
