as i know, when you change the SIO chip you need to reprogram it if it's programmable.
so here the 192kb EC file extracted from Dell website for your (Vostro 3590).

Any updates on this, I have the same 3 Orange 5 White flashes.
There was a short to ground on 5V rail. I replaced DC/DC switch (it was cracked possibly exploded) and fan capacitor as it was shorted to ground. The short is now fixed however there is still the same LED codes. No obvious signs of something wrong.
