I had a replaced my original battery a month ago, the laptop was working and there were not significant visible issues. But two days ago the laptop suddenly shut it self down when I plugged in the charger. Today it just wont open, every-time i try, it gives 3 red lights blink on power button.
According to Dell’s service manual, an error code of 3-Red, 1-Blue means that the CMOS battery failed. See the manual at the link below: Alienware 13 R3 Service Manual (dell.com) See below for instructions on how to replace the battery: Dell Alienware 13 R3 Coin-Cell Battery Replacement - iFixit Repair Guide
Any updates on this?
