Re: Dell XPS 600 story!

I had one system that only had a solid amber light while the other had a flashing amber light. Both displayed the number 4 troubleshooting light. Dell's troubleshooting lights 1 thru 4 were no help at all. Opened the case and looked at the 2 large capacitors next to each other that run parallel to the memory slots on the motherboard. Your symptoms are identical to one of my 2 XPS 600 computers. I found that the capacitors that I have noted have split open on the silver cap end and appear burnt. Both of my XPS 600 systems failed with in 6 months of each other...
