    If you are referring to Caps, Num and scroll lock LED indicators, and if they are keep on blinking; most likely a RAM problem. Take out the RAM modules and reinstall them.

    Yup, RAM may just need to be reseated. If that doesn't work (and you have two sticks installed), try installing first one, then the other to see if one of them is causing the problem.

    Te battery, HDD, Ram are OK.

    I have tested it on another Inspiron and works fine.
    memtest is ok too

    The computer starts randomly, the DELL test said "all is ok".
    But the 50 percent of the start the computer don't boot. (no bios screens, nothing..only led blinking)


    Thanks
