    Dell XPS 89xx Power LED


    The Dell Community has numerous topics like this one about the 89xx series chassis power LED blacking out. I am posting here for a wider audience.

    My own XPS 8920 (July 2017) had this happen. The LED did function briefly in late 2020, so I am convinced this is a software issue.

    That power LED is supposed to show 'Alerts' if there is a problem during Power On Self Test (POST), then stay on steadily after a successful boot-up. Apparently, the LED is controlled by some code in the system BIOS.

    Since Windows can do software restart and shutdown, there must be some program code that handles this. What we need is a routine that can activate the LED without affecting the on/off state of the computer.

    Windows version: 2004 (OS Build 19041.804)
    All Dell software updates, including BIOS, are current.

    :)

    Plugged In, Not Charging - Windows 10, Dell XPS 18

    Thanks for your suggestion, but there is no Dell driver category for "Power Management". I read through the FAQ's for the driver categories on the Dell site, and "Power Management" is not listed in any of the categories. I cannot locate where to find
    the "Power Management" driver in the Dell categories??? Any further suggestions/help?

    You can try a manual upgraded as suggested in my previous reply using the ISO in addition to the 12 steps before upgrading.
