● Example: System board is good. Lights that turn on briey (< 1 second) and immediately turn o indicate
normal function. In this case, system (3.3V), power good (3.3V), and system reset (3.3V) are all good and
troubleshooting lights should not be lit. However, other external lights should be lit as normal
afterward.

● Example: System board needs replacement. When (1) system 3.3V exists, but one power rail is bad then
(2) power good is low (0V), and troubleshooting lights will turn on.
After you press the system power button, troubleshooting lights will turn on for 5 seconds and turn
o. The system external lights will not light up. Follow general troubleshooting steps (i.e., remove
recently added hardware, test with minimum conguration, etc.) prior to replacing the system board.
Resolve the issue
8. Hard reset
A hard reset (or forced reset) erases all information in the computer's memory and may restore functionality.
Resetting the computer forces the system to clear and reestablish the connections between the BIOS and the
hardware. For more information, see http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01684768.
