    dell lcd tv mod w3207c amber light on no start

    Hi all
    New to fourm.Hope I am doing this right.

    I have dell lcd tv mod# w3207c.Stbye light amber on .Set will not start.
    Set was hard to power up for awhile ,had to leave Ac cord out all night.
    Have checked caps (ESR) them in power supply all caps and components seem fine .
    Wonder if maybe something on motherboard(main) suppling 3 volts to micro
    I have no schematic for this model .Tried to get copy with no luck
    This no start seems to be common problem with this set but no one seems to have come up with fix.Hope someone can help this old guy
    Thank you and have nice day

      Hmm last person to ask had no replies.
      I have spotted this - it was not me and there was no follow up but I guess anything is
      worth a try. I am only assuming you have this small board and the said cap.
      "on the power supply board there is a upright small board on the right hand side. replace capacitor C301, with exact replacement. This should solve your problem, it solved mine."
      Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

          I saw that same post on Dell site Like you say no response from person who posted fix.

          There is small aux power board on main Powers supply but no symbol numbers or markings on caps that I can see.

          I did esr caps but never took them out of circuit as heat ink and large coil is obstructing them.I will take them out just out of curiosity.

          With no schematic just like working in dark.



          Thank you so much for your input.

                      Dell Latitude 5420 / GDF40 LA-K491P REV 3.0 / Amber / Orange light when power button is pressed
                      by zwect
                      I have this Dell Latitude 5420 with ST: CMF62F3, board GDF40 LA-K491P REV 3.0 that does not power on, i already searched for some clues about this problem that happens on mine but no BIOS i downloaded and flashed did anything.
                      Only when the power brick is connected, when pressing the power button an amber light lights up at the front and slight decreases its brightness, the RAM and the CPU seem to heat up if the laptop is left connected but nothing else, other than USB devices getting powered.
                      Here is the original BIOS dump from the 25R256JVEN chip.

                      Dell Latitude 7410 dead and amber light as long power button is pressed.
                      by Andreasbest
                      Hello.
                      I received a bios locked 7410 with 25Q256JVEQ ,i dump the bios, unlocked it and flash it back, since then the laptop has no life signs at all except amber led on for as long the power button is pressed, nothing else.
                      Fact #1 i was unaware that 25Q256JVEQ is 3.3v and i used a 5v CH341A to program it, not sure if the chip got damaged but since then i can read it and write it normally, doesn't seem dead.
                      Fact #2 i modded the CH341A to 3.3v, same results with programming though, nothing changed.
                      Fact #3 i tried hard reset with cmos/main battery disconnected and power...

                      Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
                      by Bowline
                      My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

                      Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

                      My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
                      The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
                      I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

                      I have this laptop a dell XPS 13 9310
                      Power on is ok, stuck at dell logo flashing 2 amber and 4 white (link dell service manual) 2,4 Memory or RAM (Random-Access Memory) failure​

                      I believe this is the spec from using micron tool to decode marking

                      Images of the ram


                      I am thinking to replace but wondering if there is a possibility to test while in circuit to find the faulty module? I am doubting there is any reasonable test possible while in circuit as most ram ICs I have tested previously, I have done while off board / removed.
