Have you removed it from the wall?

[Jimbob]

Try NO power, NO battery (remove it)
Press and hold power button for about 1 minute

Restore power and turn on normally.

I think I'm getting 3.2(blink)........but can't find  anything that looks like a memory module......I have SSD does this make a difference?

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I have removed the SSD and replaced it.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I still have the 3.2 (blink) code......and the bastard still won't turn on.

Is it likely the SSD unit is shagged?

[LC0112G]

The 3.2 error code refers to the main PC memory, not the SSD.

Most PC's have the memory in small memory sticks that can be unplugged and replaced. This might be a youTube video to help :

If unplugging and reseating the memory doesn't work then the next step is to replace the memory sticks with something similar or better. If that doesn't fix it then either the connector is faulty or the motherboard is kaput. Either probably means the machine is toast.

Data on the SSD can be salvaged by plugging it into another machine as a slave drive. You might even be able to use the drive as is in another machine as the primary - depends what OS and software you have installed and what kind of security/machine locking is used.

And before playing with the memory, or other exposed electronics, you need an ESP strap.  I'm sure many people will say that they are not necessary, and how they've got away with it...   ...they haven't, they just don't realise it.
