HP ZBook Studio x360 G5 Maintenance And Service Manual page 89

A single symptom can be listed under different groups. For example, No Video can belong to (1) Power-on or
(4) Display; but Flickering when powered should be listed in (4) Display. Or, in another example, a blue screen
can be caused by a driver conflict in Performance (4), but it can also be caused by a defective hard drive under
(6) Storage. Therefore, failures that share similar symptoms are noted.
If possible, make a record of the failure symptom, the phase of the boot-up sequence where the failure
occurs, and the most likely location in the failure tree
on page 77 and
help isolate the issue and indicate the next steps. For example, when the computer is running the operating
system, it may experience an issue with (4) Display, (5) I/O devices (keyboard, wireless, and so on), (6)
Storage, or (7) Mechanical components (stuck buttons, thermal shutdown, and so on).
NOTE: "Uncategorized" is used if an issue found is not listed. For example, Bluetooth is offered on certain
hardware configurations; therefore, a Bluetooth issue can be classified under "I/O Device" if needed.
