Hello, I have a Dell Optiplex 7010, for some time when I try to start the computer, the white LED on the switch turns orange and blinks after 2-3 seconds. The system does not start, but you can hear that the components are working.

Any other LEDs blinking etc? Check that the processor's auxiliary power plug is tightened.

Only the power button is lit up. The plug is tightened.

Page 53: Link Read error code from led. By translating, you count the number of orange flashes after trying to turn on (2 or 3 flashes), then there is a pause and you count the next flashes (from 1 to 7)

2, 3 - system board, memory or CPU failure Thanks for the help.
