Solving Problems
If the power light is blinking amber — The
computer is receiving electrical power, but a
device might be malfunctioning or incorrectly
installed. You may have to remove and then
reinstall the memory modules (for information on
removing and replacing memory modules, see
the Service Manual on the Dell Support website
at support.dell.com).
If you encounter interference that hinders
reception on your computer — An unwanted
signal is creating interference by interrupting or
blocking other signals. Some possible causes of
interference are:
Power, keyboard, and mouse extension •
cables.
Too many devices connected to a power •
strip.
Multiple power strips connected to the same •
electrical outlet.

If you receive an insufficient memory
message—
Save and close any open files and exit any •
open programs you are not using to see if
that resolves the problem.

minimum memory requirements. If
necessary, install additional memory (See
the Service Manual on the Dell Support
website at support.dell.com).
Reseat the memory modules (See the •
Service Manual on the Dell Support website

computer is successfully communicating
