After consulting Dell's website (linked here), you can see that three amber five white indicates a "power tail failure".
On some further research google lists three main causes:
faulty CMOS battery
Faulty component on the board (ie shorted component)
Bad trace on the motherboard
NOTE: All I am about to list below requires you to have the tools to enable the repair of the device (screwdriver, multimeter etc). If you do not have any of those take it to a repair shop instead and get them to diagnose it.
First thing to perhaps do is to remove your CMOS battery if you're able to access the inside of the device, then see if it will boot.
Failing this, it's time to get your multimeter out and check for any shorts to ground or dead capacitors on your board
If it all comes back good (ie no chips or capacitors or fuses are blown) your board may be dead and it's time to hop on ebay and purchase a new motherboard (not computer, difference). The motherboard will come without RAM, storage or a chassis so you just swap in the motherboard you purchase.
I would like to know: what were you doing right before this started blinking. Was the computer left overnight on a charger (or off a charger)? Did it turn off while you were using it?
