I apologize if these are stupid questions, but here goes: Is it possible you pinched or damaged one of the wires coming from the battery connections on the motherboard when you reassembled the case? Or, it's just a bad battery.

4 amber 1 white means a bad battery 90% of the time. The pattern code indicates that the main battery cannot power the system. Seeing that the battery degraded substantially as well, you're likely looking at needing a new battery. If it's under warranty hit dell up and if not i'd buy a new genuine one from ebay (dell part number is TMFYT) More on reddit.com

The blinking pattern you’re observing on your Dell Inspiron 3558 (4 times amber followed by 1 time white) indicates a Battery Issue. Since your laptop is an older model, it’s possible that the battery has reached the end of its lifespan. Battery Replacement: You’ll need to replace the battery. You can find compatible replacement batteries for your Dell Inspiron 3558. Here’s a link to a replacement battery that you can consider. Battery Report Check: Create a battery report to check the status of your current battery. Open a Command Prompt window (search for 'cmd' in the Start menu).

Compare the Design Capacity value with the Full Charge Capacity value. For a healthy battery, these values should be nearly the same. Temporary fix/Workaround: Hard Reset Turn off the laptop. Disconnect the AC adapter and remove the battery or simply remove the base cover and disconnect the battery cable.

r/Dell on Reddit: Dell XPS 15 9575 4 amber 1 white light blinking, won't turn on unless plugged in while blinking
January 21, 2020 -
I've had my XPS 15 (2-in-1) for about 2 years now and it's been a great laptop so far. Recently, my laptop indicator light (front of the laptop, right below touchpad) has been blinking in a specific pattern (4 short amber, 1 long white). While it is blinking, the laptop will immediately shut off if not plugged in. In addition, my battery life has degraded somewhat significantly (from 75 to 38 mWh). These two combine to make it quite difficult to use my computer as a laptop since I am constantly looking for outlets in case this issue arises. Has anyone else had this issue and if so, have you found a solution? I'm going to try taking it to my local computer repair shop but in the mean time I thought I'd ask. Thanks!

Memory or Read-Only Memory (ROM) failure If competent, take the memory out and try the following - if there are two DIMMS then try each one in each slot to see if there is any change, if just one DIMM the try both slots and also try no RAM installed and it should produce a 2,3 code. Manual at https://dl.dell.com/content/manual36483742-dell-g15-5515-service-manual.pdf?language=en-us and memory at P. 24 Remember to insert and remove at 45 degree angle. Good luck Got warranty?

RAM issue, visually inspect it to see if any chip looks damaged on the sticks If no visible damages, install one at the time and see if anything changes If nothing happens after the test you might need new ram, if even with new ram fails, it’s a Motherboard issue
