White led blinking

Check your manual https://topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/xps-13-7390-laptop_setup-guide_en-us.pdf

Lights status is in the Service Manual- https://topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/xps-13-7390-laptop_service-manual_en-us.pdf

@Mary G , thank you for your reply. I have read the manual before and all the blinks it describes include an amber light blinking. As I have mentioned in my initial post, I do not see any amber lights. This is a 60 second sample of the blinks: 

Same thing is happening with my New XPS 13 9300.  I shut down the laptop and I get the same random blinking white light, while the laptop is suposed to be shut down.

Jesse,

That was my thinking too but it happens when I click, start and select shut down. Sounds like my computer is not actually shutting down when I tell it to.  Is there a way to confirm/fix that?

Another thing I just noticed is that my computer will not power on unless that light is on.  If I press the power button while the light is off nothing happens, but is I press the power button during the 3 seconds the light is on the computer powers on.

Hi Jesse,

It is the same light as seen in the video posted above.  It's the power/status indicator light. When I shut down the laptop the power/status indicator light blinks white. The manual only talks about errors when it's blinking white/amber but there is no amber. It is a slow blink, the light stays on for about 3 seconds then is off for about 20 seconds or so then is on for 3 seconds. It stays like that the entire time the laptop is shut down.

jdesilva2,

It sounds like the system is in sleep/hibernate mode.Can you verify that the system is shutdown?

Change the power plan

To change the power plan in Windows 10, perform these actions:

1. Start , then type "sleep".
2. Select Power and Sleep settings, then select Additional power settings at the bottom of the screen.
   The Power Options window appears.
3. Select Balanced (recommended), Power saver, or select Create a power plan on the left side of the screen.
4. Customize your plan settings as desired.

Hi all 

Same issue on my XPS9950  White led on for about 17-20s then off 1 seconds then again blinking 20s-1s 

Do someone succeed fixing this issue or find some information about white blinking led?

Thanks in advance
