Studio 15 laptop led flash codes

Hello,

 

Does anyone know where I can get the magic decoder ring for the LED flash codes on my Studio 15 laptop?

My laptop had a blank screen, and was not posting, so I forced a PSA boot.  The three volume control LEDs (mute,

decrease, increase) are flashing 50% off, 50% on.

 

Thank you in advance for any help!

    If all three are flashing it's a bad system board.

    Thank you for that quick response, but OH NO!  I'm out of warranty.  Looks like I'm hosed.

    What about if only the mute is flashing and the other 2 are on?

    Bump...

    Has anyone found the diagnostics codes for the studio laptop models yet?  Dell tech support claims they are in the service manual. I have not seen them in there anywhere.  If anyone has a link or a chart they could upload, it would be a great help.

    Thanks!

    I have the same problem on my 3yr old 1537.  Flashing mute and solid volume up/down then it shuts off.  I also haven't seen any LED light codes in the service manual.
