The lights alone don't tell enough to tell you how to fix it ACPI S3
Suspend to RAM Windows Standby State.
Does it boot if you use a recovery disk or an emergency boot DVD or USB stick?
Detach all the hard drives and peripherals, pull out all the memory except one, Try again. What is the result?
Try it with a different memory module alone, Repeat.
See if you can isolate a bad memory module
Or it could be a bad motherboard. Shut down and unplug, Inspect the capacitors on the board. are any of them swollen, split or leaking?

download and install BIOS and Network Driver for the system on dell site http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/precision-t3500/drivers

An amber light means your computer isn't reading the hard drive or CD right, Take it to a professional to get this corrected

yes

All the info you need. Very easy to do.

First - re-seat the harddisk and reboot the computer. If this does not work then reboot and go to theBIOS configuration to see if the BIOS detects the hard drive. If it doesn'tdetect the hard drive then it could be faulty. Next - to determine if thehard drive is faulty, remove the hard drive and insert it into an USB hard drive adapter and connect it to a workingcomputer's USB port. If this computer cannot see itas an external hard drive and you cannot open the various folders and files,this confirms the hard drive is faulty. The hard drive needs to bereplaces in the laptop and Windows installed and the laptop's device driversand your programs etc to get a functioning laptop again.

If the drive won't open you can use an unfolded paperclip and insert it in the small hole (paperclip size). Push in and it will pop out.

You might need to install or re-install the chipset.

 

Heres the direct link to the chipset drivers on the dell site

Hope this helps

 

 

in most new cases there are extra slots for extra hard drives, but as long as the ide or sata is hooked up it should work, and you can buy hardware and rig up something ,ive tested many hard drives without hooking up hardware,
the components on the hard drive should not touch other metal

you need to turn it on in the Bios so the computer sees the drive, then format it.
