Hi
https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/bph07107
You get a LONG (MAJOR) signal category, RED LED &
then a SHORT (MINOR) signal category, WHITE LED.
Major – the category of the error; Minor – specific error in that category
The AUDIBLE repeats 5 times, and the VISUAL until power is removed.
Hardware | 3.5 | The processor is not detected.*
Indicates potential CPU failure. | 1 If able, reseat CPU. 2 If able, test known good CPU. 3 Replace affected component. 4 Replace CPU & Main-Board if unable to perform steps. |
