Power On Sequence Introduction

The document describes power on sequences for different motherboard models. It begins with a general overview of the typical power on sequence, such as the power button triggering the PSON circuit which pulls the PSON line low to start the boot process. It then provides specific sequences for the P5Q3 and M3N78-VM motherboards, listing the order of events from pressing the power button to components initializing. Finally, it lists some common troubleshooting points for diagnosing no power problems, such as checking for voltage shorts, battery voltage, crystal oscillator, and power button circuitry.
