Power Button Led Behavior - Dell 0HRTG Service Manual

Power button LED behavior

On certain Dell Latitude systems, the power button LED is used to provide an indication of the system status, and as a result the
power button illuminates when pressed. The systems with the optional power button/fingerprint reader will have no LED under
the power button and hence will apply the available LED's in the system to provide an indication of the system status.
