What to do if my Dell Laptop has an amber blinking pattern with 1,4?
If your Dell Laptop displays an amber blinking pattern of 1, 4, check if the display cable (EDP) is properly seated or pinched at the hinges, as a short in the hinge cable may have tripped OCP2. If the problem persists, replace either the display cable (EDP) or the display assembly (LCD).
