Instructions
The easiest way to search the table for a code is to press and hold the Ctrl (control) key and to press the f key, this opens the find or search function. Enter the code exactly as it was shown to you.
NOTE: When you have a code that is not formatted as 2000-XXXX, see Dell Knowledge-base article Error Codes on Dell Commercial and Consumer products.
NOTE: One of the most common step when troubleshooting a computer is to update the computer Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) also called the system setup. It is suggested that the BIOS be updated to the most current version available before running diagnostics. Learn more about Dell BIOS Updates.
NOTE: Laptop batteries' basic warranty expires 12 months from the date that the computer was invoiced from Dell. Unless the laptop has an extended warranty on the battery, battery failures outside the first year of use is not covered under the computer warranty.
NOTE: The last three digits in the code are called the beep or LED code. These codes occur when the computer is unable to display a message. For example, error code 2000-0142 has a beep and LED code of 142, which may manifest as 1 beep or amber flash from the power button - pause - 4 beeps or amber flashes - pause - 2 beeps or amber flashes. In this case, the beeps or flashes are trying to inform the operator that the hard drive self-test was unsuccessful.
NOTE: When you have received an error code, locate the error code in the table below, and follow the Next Steps listed. When you require further assistance, browse to our SupportAssist Pre-Boot System Performance Check page, referenced as the ePSA online tool in the table to save space.
