I am getting 2 Amber and 7 White LED flashing on my Vostro 5320, but screen works fine!

Vostro 5320

Vostro 5320

Hello,

I have a Dell Vostro 5320 laptop that I purchased in the UK. It has an i5-1240P processor, 16 GB of DDR5 RAM, a 1920x1200 LCD panel. It is running Windows 11 Pro 22H2 (OS Build is 22621.819)

There is no major issue with my laptop or its LCD screen, and the hardware works fine. However, I still see the "2 Amber and 7 White LED" flashing pattern on the charging LED indicator every now and then. This happens despite the LCD functioning perfectly fine. When I Googled the meaning of this LED error pattern, the information I got was that this indicates a faulty/non-functioning LCD panel. And all the posts I found online mention that the LCD panel is not working or turning on. But my LCD panel works fine though. I also noticed that this flashing LED pattern clears up after I shut down and turn on the laptop (i.e. do a complete power cycle rather than simply restarting it).

Here is a video I posted on YouTube to demonstrate what is going on with my laptop: YouTube video

Is there some issue with my laptop that needs to be addressed or can I ignore this flashing LED pattern?

The only issue I have noticed with the display seems to be a software/graphics driver issue in Windows 11 rather than any hardware issue. I noticed that after using my laptop for sometime (over the course of several days, after hibernating and resuming etc) dragging and moving windows in the OS only shows a rectangular outline of the window rather than showing the contents. And the maximise/minimise animation of the windows does not show. This makes it look like something turned off several features in the graphics settings on Windows. And the issue resolves itself after restarting the laptop. Note that this happens on both external monitors and on the built-in LCD display. And this is definitely a software issue and not related to the flashing LED light error code.

Kindly update the bios of the laptop,search on google for warranty and contract open the page and you'll see a box put the 7digit service tag no on there which is behind your laptop go for driver and software download then download bios from there put charger in then start installing that file wait for but while bios update 90percent chance of fixing 10per for error.
