Working on your computer

Safety instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer from potential damage and to help to

ensure your personal safety. Unless otherwise noted, each procedure included in this document assumes

that the following conditions exist:

• You have read the safety information that shipped with your computer.

• A component can be replaced or--if purchased separately--installed by performing the removal

procedure in reverse order.

WARNING: Disconnect all power sources before opening the computer cover or panels. After you

finish working inside the computer, replace all covers, panels, and screws before connecting to

the power source.

WARNING: Before working inside your computer, read the safety information that shipped with

your computer. For additional safety best practices information, see the Regulatory Compliance

Homepage at www.dell.com/regulatory_compliance

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only

perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as

directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is

not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions

that came with the product.

CAUTION: To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist grounding strap or

by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface, such as a connector on the back of the

computer.

CAUTION: Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts

on a card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Hold a component such as a

processor by its edges, not by its pins.

CAUTION: When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its pull-tab, not on the cable

itself. Some cables have connectors with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this type of cable,

press in on the locking tabs before you disconnect the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep

them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable,

ensure that both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

NOTE: The color of your computer and certain components may appear differently than shown in

this document.

Before working inside your computer

To avoid damaging your computer, perform the following steps before you begin working inside the

computer.

1. Ensure that you follow the Safety instructions.

2. Ensure that your work surface is flat and clean to prevent the computer cover from being scratched.

3. Turn off your computer, see Turning off your computer.

CAUTION: To disconnect a network cable, first unplug the cable from your computer and

then unplug the cable from the network device.

4. Disconnect all the network cables from the computer.

5. Disconnect your computer and all attached devices from the electrical outlets.

6. Press and hold the power button while the computer is unplugged to ground the system board.

7. Remove the cover.

CAUTION: Before touching anything inside your computer, ground yourself by touching an

unpainted metal surface, such as the metal at the back of the computer. While you work,

periodically touch an unpainted metal surface to dissipate static electricity, which could

harm internal components.

Turning off your computer

After working inside your computer

After you complete any replacement procedure, ensure you connect any external devices, cards, and

cables before turning on your computer.

CAUTION: To avoid damage to the computer, use only the battery designed for this particular

Dell computer. Do not use batteries designed for other Dell computers.

1. Connect any external devices, such as a port replicator or media base, and replace any cards, such as

an ExpressCard.

2. Connect any telephone or network cables to your computer.

CAUTION: To connect a network cable, first plug the cable into the network device and then

plug it into the computer.

3. Replace the battery.

4. Replace the base cover.

5. Connect your computer and all attached devices to their electrical outlets.

6. Turn on your computer.

Diagnostics

If you experience a problem with your computer, run the ePSA diagnostics before contacting Dell for

technical assistance. The purpose of running diagnostics is to test your computer's hardware without

requiring additional equipment or risking data loss. If you are unable to fix the problem yourself, service

and support personnel can use the diagnostics results to help you solve the problem.

Enhanced Pre-Boot System Assessment (ePSA)

diagnostics

The ePSA diagnostics (also known as system diagnostics) performs a complete check of your hardware.

The ePSA is embedded with the BIOS and is launched by the BIOS internally. The embedded system

diagnostics provides a set of options for particular devices or device groups allowing you to:

• Run tests automatically or in an interactive mode

• Repeat tests

• Display or save test results

• Run thorough tests to introduce additional test options to provide extra information about the failed

device(s)

• View status messages that inform you if tests are completed successfully

• View error messages that inform you of problems encountered during testing

CAUTION: Use the system diagnostics to test only your computer. Using this program with other

computers may cause invalid results or error messages.

NOTE: Some tests for specific devices require user interaction. Always ensure that you are present

at the computer terminal when the diagnostic tests are performed.

System diagnostic lights

Power and battery-status light/ hard-drive activity light: Indicates the battery-charge status or the

hard-drive activity.

NOTE: Press Fn+H to toggle this light between power and battery-status light and hard-drive

activity light.

Hard-drive activity light

Turns on when the computer reads from or writes to the hard drive.

Power and battery-status light

Indicates the power and battery-charge status.

Solid white – Power adapter is connected and the battery has more than 5 percent charge.

Amber – Computer is running on battery and the battery has less than 5 percent charge.

Off

• Power adapter is connected and the battery is fully charged.

• Computer is running on battery and the battery has more than 5 percent charge.

• Computer is in sleep state, hibernation, or turned off.

The power and battery-status light blinks amber along with beep codes indicating failures.

For example, the power and battery-status light blinks amber two times followed by a pause, and then

blinks white three times followed by a pause. This 2,3 pattern continues until the computer is turned off

indicating no memory or RAM is detected.

The following table shows different light patterns, what they indicate, and the suggested solutions.

Table 5. System light problems and possible solutions

Light Pattern Problem description Suggested solution

2,1 CPU failure Replace the system board.

2,2 System board: BIOS and ROM
