![Fix Flashing Orange Power Button Dell, not Booting. SOLVED! (light of Death) [RAM & CMOS Battery]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/eWuyOIYKZ04/mqdefault.jpg)
Fyi, on June 5th, 2023 I followed your instructions. All is working well. Thank you very much.
4 years later and it worked for me today! Thank you!
Epic. Back up your Data
I had exactly the same problem, now fixed by your method. It was caused in my case by thick dust completely blocking the heat sink fins, causing the over heating you describe in this video. Thank you very much!

Just wanted to say thanks. Saved me from having to buy a new computer. I bought this one brand new, I dont know how many years ago. Easy inexpensive fix. Thanks a lot
awesome. BACK IT UP NOW. ✌🏻
Thank you very much sir.....I had bought a part that I thought would have fix my screen issue but it didn't. Search the internet for some answers. Came across your video and its worked. Its up and running. I normally don't give thumbs up for videos but I can for this video.
Your welcome friend. Now, if I can coax you into being more liberal with your use of the LIKE button on CZcams. ;) Happy To Help
Hey all just your normal computer hoarder here. I got one of these yesterday I was gonna use it as a monitor but now I can use it as a outdated computer! thanks so much!

It worked. It Worked. IT Worked. IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for posting this video my friend!!
Epic. Back up your data!! 💯💯
Dude, if you were in front of me right now I’d tussle your hair, and give you a big hug. This worked for me! You’re a life saver. Thumbs up, and I subscribed!
Lol. Epic. Gimmie that hug! :P
did what you suggested , and wow, My clients PC back up and going. Thanks a million bro
BACK UP or CLONE the HD. Can't say how long it will last.
Wow. This worked for me, too. I had an old Inspiron One sitting around with this very problem! Brilliant!
Back from the dead after 4 years! Was about to e-cycle my Dell AIO and decided to search one last time for a fix. Took apart heat sink and applied new thermal paste four years ago but no joy. Heat gun did the trick! Booted up and Windows even opened up all the program files browser tabs that were running when the video died. Thanks!
Amazing! Back it up! 👍🏻👍🏻🙌🏻
@@GreggAdventure Great advice though I had already pulled the drive and backed up the files. Since I was cautious with the first time heating briefly (~ 1 minute), the issue immediately returned. Repaired again heating for a longer time (> 3 minutes) appeared to do the trick since I had nothing to lose. System is now up & running CZcams for over a week to "stress test" the graphics chip. I applied new thermal paste (Arctic Silver 5).
Thanks again for posting the video Gregg!
@@Robert-pe5hf The heat gun fix worked until it didn't (dreaded orange lit power button with black screen). Replacing the MOBO with an Ebay refurb for $90 finally fixed ALL of the HW issues. Installed a FREE Win 10 Pro upgrade from Win 7 Pro and dual boot Linux (Zorin). The Dell AIO is good for minimal Windows tasks and exploring Linux. Now, Windows 10 Updates are causing crashes & reliability issues... :(
It was a frustrating but ultimately satisfying project of getting the PC back up and running. The touchscreen is still working OK with Win 10 and Linux though the HW is struggling to keep up.
Nice. It might be temporary but I got satisfaction in restoring functionality. I used a hair dryer also
It's totally temporary, but, totally worth it, just to see the thing turn back on!
So I’ve been reading about this problem. Dell should honestly recall these
Wow thanks for this video. I had this problem and my PC is now working great.
Please Back up your Data
Works, no joke!
Okay, I was about to trash this thing and then decided to search for a new or used system board to see what it would cost to try and replace it and ran across your video. First, I thought this guy is crazy as F&*k. Then I said what the hell, I have a heat gun and some thermal paste so I'll give it try. I'm happy to report that it fixed the problem!! Hopefully it's a long term fix!! Thanks for your video!!
Sadly this machine failed again, but I've got more than a few comments of success now, so, I'm thrilled. Epic! Happy to help.
P.S. I AM Crazy as F&*K. Lol
Darn. This fix worked at first but a day later the computer is doing the same thing again (orange light, no white light and booting back up). Anyone else get this fix to stick?
Heat guns are pretty much the same as a reflow station.
Do this next time though. Use a "no clean flux" next time you do this, and shield the components surrounding the GPU with kapton tape and aluminum foil, so you don't bake those.
Great tips. I honestly didnt expect this hack to work. But it did! (I own a reflow, but, wanted to see a household item do it)
So here's my update......It worked but after I turned it off it would go back to being dead. I would heat it again and again. It works up until I turn it off. I research this method and people call it BS. I'm not here to crash peoples channels or anything like that. If it works for you then thats great. My card is just to used up for this to work. I heated it up and got it running again but this time i leave it on and just have the monitor turn off. I'll be trying to get as much as i can out of it still. lol thanks again
There is no way it will longterm last. Clone the HD with Casper and GTFO! 👍🏼✌🏼
Worked like a charm!
Having the same problem aand before the black screen issue I am getting rtc error message when the computer turns on. Then I have to hit f1 to continue. Frustrating to say the least.
Just got mine to turn back on! Thanks!
Epic! Thanks for taking the time to tell me. Hope it lasts! :)
Yes, it can work but how long it stays working will depend on other things like how hot did the solder get, did it reflow good enough throughout the GPU grid? The best solution is to have the GPU removed and the whole chip re-done with new solder balls. That will last for years. This method might get you a day, a week, maybe a month. But as the computer gets used and the GPU heats up and cools down again, the solder is already weaken on the molecular scale and will crack again at some point putting you back in the same boat. Buying a used motherboard will render you in the same mess sooner than later. A certain % of GPUs were designed flawed and this model got some. Same with HP DV6 laptops. They failed in the same manner. I tried this method and got a few to work only to watch them fail within a day of bench testing. For this Dell, I used a heat gun set to 400 degress for 1 minute. I put 2 pennies on top of the chip to help the solder. I used tin foil with the square cut out exposing the GPU but covering the neighboring components. If you use the computer in a cool place and don't game on it or watch long videos, you'll get more mileage. Use good quality heat sink and clean the cooling fan and fins real good before reassembly.
Yup! It's a craps shoot.
I did everything you said and it was magic, you are a genius thanks you so much for that trick
Epic. Great news. Backup your files!
It works for me! Thanks a lot!
Awesome. Your Welcome!
I picked one of these up from a storage unit. I fixed the failed attempt to open it up from the prior owner and plugged in a universal power supply. Naturally Dell has to be a jerk and make it a 19.5 volts . Well tried both 19 and 20 and both show a screen turn a monochrome blue, it blinks a few times and does nothing. It basically does nothing but turns on with no post. or Dell logo screen. Maybe this is it but maybe not, any thoughts?
2 years later this is coming in clutch just wish i had some thermal paste rn to complete it
(Lack Of) Thermal paste has shut down many a PC Project! I always keep a tube lying around, just incase. You can actually find it at Best Buy if you have one near you
Worked for me. Thanks
Good time to back up the HD.
I can't believe this worked! Thanks!
Epic. Let me know if it lasts. I have mixed results
How long does this typically last?
It worked for me! Greetings from Colombia :D
Awesome! Greatings from N.J, USA. ✌🏻👍🏻
Bro que hiciste para q te funcione? Yo no pude ayuda!!
YOU ARE THE BEST BRO!!
Thank you brother. BACK UP THE HD.
@@GreggAdventure what you mean?
If you got your machine running again, Backup your Hard Drive / Important Data. Just incase
This worked on my dads Dell 2305. Heat gun to the GPU. Thanks.
Back up the HD while it’s running
Damn it worked??!! Hope it last. 💪🏽
My Dell all in one 2310 when plug in auto start and orange light blinking how to fix it
Can I use a hair dryer instead of a heat gun? Hoping this isn't a stupid question and the temp doesn't need to get super high??? Just ordered the paste and am waiting on delivery.
I would use a heat gun. It's MUCH hotter. But, can try the hairdryer. Some of them get pretty hot... give it a try.
P.S. Please hit the Sub. :)
Yes. Just don't put random thermal paste on your cpu heatsink. Figure out what type of compound is used first.
I've left Windows alone and went Mac everything years ago. But I sure would like to fix this Dell Inspiron One in my closet. But I have a different problem. My light is white, everything powers on fine then after login screen everything goes blank except for the mouse cursor which I can move all over the screen but that's the only thing I can see. Or if a pop up comes up it will show but that's it.
Sounds like a video driver issue.... Could even be a virus. If you have another machine, might be worth trying a virus scan on the drive, by hooking it up as an external drive. Otherwise, my 1st move, would be to boot the machine into SAFE MODE, and/or try Windows Auto Repair, which can resolve SOME boot issues. If all else fails, and your troubleshooting skills are limited, make a Windows 10 Boot install, on a USB, using their media creation tool (it's VERY EASY), and do a clean install of Win10. This very much sounds like a software situation
@@GreggAdventure I hit F2 at start up and changed the Boot from Drive to Boot From Hard Disk and it worked fine until the Windows update. Then it went back to the blank screen. However, ctl, alt, delete then logging out the user and logging back in is correcting the issue for now, so it's just weird. One of the reason I went all Mac. But the monitors in church use a Windows program so I wanted to get this running again. Thanks.
I did this and now the light turns on white instead of amber but the screen still won't turn on. Anyone have any suggestions?
Will a hair dryer do the same trick
May not be hot enough, but you can try.
I did everything but not the gun because I don’t have it. The power button is still orange when I tried before putting thermal paste please advise ? Thanks
The Heat is the key part, because it’ll soften the microchips solder and make them connect again. Can TRY a hairdryer on it’s hottest setting or get a $12 Craft Heat Gun on Amazon or at Michaels (for a bit more)
@@GreggAdventure i Will try and get back to you .
Thanks
Thé power is white now, the computer work for about 1-2 minutes and all what I can see is black screen again . Should I use the thermal paste ?? Because I didn’t.
Please advise thanks
The cpu will overheat and potentially die, in less than a minute without the paste.
@@GreggAdventure thank you
I removed the heatsink, cpu, cleaned off old thermal paste, and put new thermal paste on. cleaned up around the the mobo to make sure no dust/thermal crust was left... it still has orange light. do you think the cpu just burnt out while the paste was so crusty? this client has an impeccably clean unit. He is an old man, has never moved the computer, has a clean home... so unless you know another fix i am assuming the cpu is just burned. i dont have an extra processor on hand to test it. and if the gpu is burned out i would say not worth fixing.
Did you use heat? The problem is, the micro-solders are separating and losing contact. The heat, softens the solder and they regain contact. Heat is your only hope
Hola se ve muy bien la explicación del video pero me dirias lo que decis en español
HI, DOU YOU CAN TO REPAIR THIS PC?, I HAVE THE PROBLEM, AND I TRY THAT FOR 3 TIMES, AND ALL TRIES WELL, NOW, AGAIN DONT POWER, AND THIS SOLUTION NO FUNCTION 4 MAR 2023
I don't have a heat gun what do I have to use
Can try a hair drier
With this fault would an external vga display still work?
Negative. It doesn’t boot at all
I used a hair dryer for 20Seconds & Yep it worked!!! Has anyones computer lasted for more than a year after this fix? Or will I have to do this once a week LOL?
This one did not last very long, but I’ve yet to hear anyone else comment here, that the problem returned... 🤞🏻
@@GreggAdventure I left mine running the next day & it died again.
Mines work but the power button is orange and the one on top of the power button is white
I have a white light and no screen?
I had a similar issue after the repair. It was stuck on the Dell screen during POST (Power On Self Test). Resetting the BIOS worked for me. Start here and search for your specific model/mother board. www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/04/sln284985/how-to-perform-a-bios-or-cmos-reset-and-or-clear-the-nvram-on-your-dell-system?lang=en
Good luck.
For my system (2305), this involves moving two jumpers (CMOS and Password), power up/power down, and moving the CMOS jumper back to its original position. I'm not sure why Dell doesn't list this as a fix for the "White Light - no POST" fault mode. Would have save me hours and many owners from tossing their PCs.
Yup its working but just for 30 minutes then again same orange light. Any permanent fix for that????
Results are super random. Try brushing flux on the chips pins before heating
@@GreggAdventure It might be the solder balls under the GPU rather than the SMD chips. Try heating the GPU for a longer period. The components can take the heat but keep the airflow low.
Thanks for the input. This Video continues to draw people, attempting to deal with this issue.
the other video dealing with this very same issue and PC can be found here...
czcams.com/video/0RJFE0HhSog/video.html
Thanks for sharing this info... wish i had had these vids to review back when my Inspiron One did this. Oh well. HTH
It's worth noting, this PC has since failed again. Bummer
While this has been the solution for me 2 times already the first time it lasted 3 months now I did ti again and it worked but now a day after I ONCE again have the orange light on. What else can I do to prevent this from happening again?
That sucks. Seams to have random results. My repair lasted 3 days, others, still working.... Try brushing flux on the pins around the chip, then heat it. If I did it again, that’s what I’d do
@@GreggAdventure I will definitely try that it happened again this time it lasted 4 days I did notice that this happens only after watching CZcams videos if I dont watch videos seems to last longer
@@ppj228 Three months is decent for this quick fix (my first two attempts only lasted a week). Try heating for a longer period and apply fresh thermal paste if you haven't done so. Once the system detects GPU overheating, the system will not reboot. Good luck.
I am stress testing my recent fix by running CZcams continuously.
Ok update on this
I took it to a repair shop and was told I need to replace the GPU because apparently is damaged. I will most likely have to buy the whole motherboard as the GPU is integrated to the motherboard.
Currently having a hard time finding a replacement
Apologies for my long comment since some of you will find this useful...
My Dell 2305 has a new life as a Win 10 and Zorin (Linux) dual boot machine. Incredibly, this 9-yo now runs like a mid-tier PC.
Using a heat gun on the BOTTOM side of the PCB under the GPU permanently resolved the cold solder joint issue. Heating the GPU directly was only a temp fix for me.
MSFT is still providing free Win 10 upgrades (offer had previously ended): www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
With 8GB RAM and OEM HDD, the PC was upgraded with an AMD Athlon X4 610e and it runs a faster with 4 cores. Under Win 7, I tried an SSD upgrade but the OS wouldn't boot. Now running Win 10, I'll give the SSD another try to speed things up once everything is stable.
Before the Win 10 upgrade, I installed Zorin 15.1 for its Window-like interface and touchscreens. This opened a new computing world with Linux. www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2019/06/05/its-time-to-pay-attention-to-zorin-os-15-the-best-desktop-linux-distro-youve-never-heard-of/#21f4c2fc1c80
Good luck to all. My Dell 2305 is now much more functional thanks to dual boot, tablet mode and touch-enabled apps!
Hola yo tengo el mismo problema con mi equipo
Pero no estaria entendiendo el video por el idioma
Me podrian resumir que hizo alguien que me ayude por favor
Utilizó una pistola industrial de calor para volver a soldar el chip de video que se desprendió por el exceso de calor. Puedes utilizar una secadora de cabello normal, pero por un tiempo más prolongado para volver a soldar el chip de video.
THERE IS ANOTHER SCREW UNDER THE FAN!!!!
it’s fine. 😜
I don't have a heat gun what can I do instead
Hair Dryer.
It's worth a try for sure thx
Thank you so much it's working again saves me from going to buy a new computer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing. Back up anything important on the Hard Drive, just incase...
Why the hell are you spreading thermal paste like that? lol wtf
Hmmm, I’m gonna guess, that it’s because I felt like it
@@GreggAdventure terrible advice for viewers though. People will actually do that...
And they can.
@@GreggAdventure People can also put water in their oil reservoir too on their car.
Damn birds...
omg, the never shit the F up! 😡😂🤣
Then it turn off
the birds are louder in the video than you are
The birds are louder than EVERYTHING
