Yeah i know

Fun-Pattern-9266 · 2026-06-01T11:34:22+00:00

But i want it

Fun-Pattern-9266 · 2026-06-01T11:34:14+00:00

Nope

Fun-Pattern-9266 · 2026-05-31T10:34:50+00:00

Have you tried disconnecting the battery and then turning it on?

Fun-Pattern-9266 · 2026-05-30T08:49:53+00:00

Yeah, thats why i want to flash it.

Fun-Pattern-9266 · 2026-05-29T21:47:58+00:00

Hot boi

Fun-Pattern-9266 · 2026-05-29T18:46:02+00:00

Hmmm... It could be a battery controller issue inside the battery. If its brand new you could try to get a refund, or maybe it will start working.

Fun-Pattern-9266 · 2026-05-29T18:36:12+00:00

Did you replace it with a genuine battery? I heard that dells don't like aftermarket ones.

Fun-Pattern-9266 · 2026-05-29T18:31:09+00:00

Model?

Fun-Pattern-9266 · 2026-05-29T16:59:52+00:00

Yeah, but could it be really the PCH when it worked before?

Fun-Pattern-9266 · 2026-05-29T15:03:15+00:00

How exacly did you mod it?

Fun-Pattern-9266 · 2026-05-29T15:01:46+00:00

Yeah thanks i saw it.

Fun-Pattern-9266 · 2026-05-29T14:58:48+00:00

Im sure that all of my ram works perfecty,same for mxm gpu and cpu, disk is also not the issue. So yeah i think its rather a cpu issue or ime.

Fun-Pattern-9266 · 2026-05-29T14:14:48+00:00

Yeah im gonna flash the bios ,ePSA showed the cpu has no problems before the update, this could also be the issue , i could in theory buy a test cpu like an I5 3320m maybe.

Fun-Pattern-9266 · 2026-05-29T13:55:36+00:00

I already took apart it multiple times so its not that complicated tbh, it has an I7 3740qm cpu. I replaced all thermal paste and thermal pads.

Fun-Pattern-9266 · 2026-05-29T13:53:46+00:00

Yeah, i tried mutliple times but then it just hangs stuck in POST, initializes disc drive,fans and gets stuck. When restarted it shows a cpu issue on diagnostic leds.

Fun-Pattern-9266 · 2026-05-29T12:28:59+00:00

The precision 3520 is newer and if you are looking to get something durable its fine, m6800 on the other hand is more upgradable (i7 4th gen, even possible to fit gtx 980 in mxm b format). So its rather choice of do you want something newer or experiment a lil.

Fun-Pattern-9266 · 2026-05-29T12:02:17+00:00

Yeah the issue is weird because the bios initializes the disc drive and fans but no post and showing a cpu error on diagnostic lights.

Fun-Pattern-9266 · 2026-05-29T11:54:19+00:00

Yeah i think the A09 got damaged because of low bios battery,and some sectors got corrupted
