Problem was originally that I had the flashing LED light and it wouldn't power up. Searched and found one solution to replace the battery. Popped out the battery, ended up trying to just put it back in and low and behold it powered back up again. But now I am getting error codes of 1 and 3 on the front AND my monitor won't go on although yellow LED light on that is showing. Desperate at this point... looked up the error codes online in the dell owners manual via my laptop but didn't make any sense to me.

the original LED that was just flashing is on the front of the computer - on the power on button - it would flash but computer would not turn on. After removing the CMOS battery and putting it back in it will turn on but now the monitor power on button remains a yellow color instead of green when it turns on and will not show anything on the screen.
Error codes are on the front of the Dell box - not the monitor. They are numbers 1 and 3. When I turn on the computer I do hear beeps - not sure what that means though.
No errors on the monitor as the screen won't show anything with the computer turned on.
thanks again - kind of desperate as I need to get it to work for my job as well as pictures I have on there.

Looks like Memory problems according to dell's manual. Have you added any ram to this pc? If you have, remove it.

If you have not, then remove one of the sticks of ram in the pc and try one at a time.
