Dell complaints

I had to submit as a new topic because everytime post reply get debug error line 112

I see this everyday, and I can help you narrow the part. First, a solid amber is mainly one of these 3 have failed, MB PRC or the PSU. Now on a blinking amber, it can be a variety of things, tho yes the diag codes led if they are on, can help you.

(insure the unit is unplugged, touch the metal chasis to dischage Electric Static generating from you body. Do this everytime you work inside of it)

Okay, lets get your system to a bare POST state. Disconnect the power from floppy, Hdd, Optical, or anything else the PSU hooks to. LEave in the mem and PSU conection and the IO cable. Remember nothing hooked up externally except the monitor (remember you are looking to get that flashing amber green. Try it. Still blinking amber? try mem in each slot one at a time. Still blinking amber? If the panel has an IO panel, with USB ports, these ports can be damaged. Disconnect the IO cable leading from the IO board. remove CMOS battery 10 seconds to clear NVRAM. Leaving the IO cable disconnected, reinsert the CMOS battery and plug in unit. The unit will power up on its own if the IO panel/cable is the issue. There will be no front lights when the panel is disconnected. If the system comes up, then the IO panel is bad. if you do not turn the system off, you can use it until you get IOcable and panel If at anytime you get green, like it post with mem prc PSU only, then a card is causing no post then HDD or opticals. just add back components unitl blinking amber occurs, then you would know what part that way as well.
Of course there is a remote possibility that a PSU is causing blinking amber, it is very unlikely.

I hope this helps you

No, it worked fine (4 times btw) Cam.

Perhaps you should go back to that thread and delete 3 of the copies lol.

Anyways, yea I'm getting the DEBUG ERROR 5 SMTP.PHP often as well. I just copy my post before submitting. If it chokes, I hit BACK and then go back to the thread without submitting again. 99% of the time it did go through, but for the 1% that didn't I just go back and paste my commentary and repeat the steps if needed.

This board is falling apart under our fingers...eesh.

**EDIT and it just did it again to be precise. Hit BACK and checked the thread and there was my post. No problem.

Yep, that bug popped up yesterday afternoon. It also affects PM. SMTP is the module that emails notifications. I notified the site owner. Turning off the mail module might have been an experiment of his to see if the server would speed up. It hasn't, that I can see. And I've been deleting double posts ever since.

Use 'back' to get out of the error, rather than reposting. Return to the thread you were on and hit 'refresh' and it will be there.
