# Plug device in with known good cable (ensuring the correct AC 120/230 v)
# Power on device.
If this solves the problem then you can tell its starting with a dead cell, this laptop is rather old and is likely the battery has not been replaced.
***When performing a cmos reset***
# Remove main battery
# Remove charging cable
# Remove CMOS battery
# Hold down power button for 30 - 60 seconds
# Reconnect CMOS, main battery and charging cable
The idea of a CMOS reset is to drain the capacitors of residual charge to ensure the device is fully powered off.
After attempting these please reach back out.

I would also like to know, how what LED indicators blink as well as the sequence and amount of blinks DELL has a rather extensive blink code system that can further diagnose this issue.

As well as the sequence and the amount of blinks. DELL has a rather extensive blink code system that can further diagnose this issue.
In my honest opinion it does not sound like a fried board as the device appears to function in a state capable of telling you something is wrong.

Good morning,
My first step to troubleshooting this would be
# Disconnect battery and leave to the side
# Plug device in with known good cable (ensuring the correct AC 120/230 v)
# Power on device.
If this solves the problem then you can tell its starting with a dead cell, this laptop is rather old and is likely the battery has not been replaced.
