June 22, 2023 -

I am trying to trouble shoot a brand new Precision 5820. It shipped without the bios battery so I went and bough new one and installed. I also resit the ram as well. However, as soon as you plug in the power cable, you get 3 loud beep and there is no display at all. The power light is solid white. Any advice on how to troubleshoot it next?
