Troubleshooting Guide: Check the HP Support Troubleshooting Page for common blink codes and power issues.

Identify Component Labels: Use the labels on the physical board (e.g., PL for Inductor, PQ for Transistor/MOSFET) and search for them in the PDF schematic.

Block Diagrams: High-level connections between the CPU, PCH, GPU, memory (DDR3), and storage interfaces.
