Power light is Orange - solid (not blinking)

[StillTrying2]

Greetings, 

The Power light is solid (not blinking) orange. Otherwise the computer is running with no other problems.

FWIW I installed the 2/11/23 BIOS update and so far (2 hours) I have not had any issues.

Thanks for any help with this.

Hi @StillTrying2,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd like to help!

If the power light on your HP Slim Desktop S01-PF0135t is orange, but the PC works fine, it may not necessarily indicate a problem. The color of the power LED can vary depending on the specific model and design of the PC, and some HP desktops use orange or amber light to indicate a low-power or standby state.

Here are a few things you can check:

Check the Manual: Refer to the user manual or documentation that came with your HP Slim Desktop. It should provide information about what the different LED colors indicate.

Monitor Sleep Mode: Sometimes, the monitor's power LED can also be orange when it's in sleep mode. Make sure your monitor is fully awake and active, especially if you're using a separate monitor.

Power Saving Features: The orange light may be related to power-saving features on the desktop. Check your power settings in the Control Panel to see if any power-saving options are causing this.

Hardware Check: While an orange power light may not necessarily indicate a problem, it's always a good idea to check your hardware's overall health. You can use built-in diagnostic tools or third-party software to check for hardware issues. The HP PC Hardware Diagnostics utility can be useful in this regard.

BIOS Settings: Sometimes, BIOS settings can affect the behavior of power indicators. You can access the BIOS by pressing a specific key during startup (usually F2, F10, or Delete). Check if there are any settings related to power LEDs.

If your PC is functioning correctly and you don't notice any performance or functionality issues, the orange power light may be a normal behavior for your specific model. However, if you have concerns or want to make sure there are no underlying issues, you can always contact us.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
