Hey everyone.
My Aurora R9 needs some TLC I guess. I went to the Windows update center and downloaded some new updates/firmware. Needed a restart so I did that. Booted back up and came to the Alienware splash screen with the words "Please wait while we install the update" below. Waited for just a few minutes and then it shutdown. Now I got the Alienware head on the system itself blinking yellow 4 times, followed by a short pause, then blinking 4 times again. I haven't touched it yet.
What do you guys think?
What does the yellow flash 5 times mean
Refer to the service manual on Dell's website. It tells you what all the flash codes mean.

It says 5 times means CMOS battery failure.
