Resolution

Single Status Front LED

The Latitude 5580 has no hard drive activity or battery status LED. The system uses the current standard single LED status light on the front right edge of the system and the power button LED.

The power button LED shows the system's power state of On or Off. While the front chassis LED indicates when the system is charging. Both LEDs do not flash when the system is put to sleep or hibernate. The system uses an amber and white flash pattern on the front chassis LED to indicate that an error has occurred.
