Troubleshooting Your Computer
You can troubleshoot your computer using indicators like Diagnostic Lights, Beep Codes, and Error
Messages during the operation of the computer.
Power LED Diagnostics
The power button LED located on the front of the chassis also functions as a bicolored diagnostic LED.
The diagnostic LED is only active and visible during the POST process. Once the operating system starts
to load, it is no longer visible.
Amber LED blinking scheme – The pattern is 2 or 3 blinks followed by a short pause then x number of
blinks up to 7. The repeated pattern has a long pause inserted in the middle. For example 2,3 = 2 amber
blinks, short pause, 3 amber blinks followed by long pause then repeats.
