On most Dell computers, a pattern of 2 amber lights followed by 3 white lights indicates that something is wrong with the RAM.
You will need to try and reset the RAM modules. Here is a guide for replacing the RAM on a similar laptop. Don't actually replace the ram sticks, just remove them and leave them out for ~2 minutes and then reinset them.
Let me know if this works or if you have any questions!

It's increasing becoming a "Your BIOS got corrupted" code too :-(. Dell's Windows Update BIOS updates bricks boards way too often.
