Power On Sequence Overview and Debugging

1) The document outlines general power on sequences and provides specific examples for the P5Q3 and M3N78-VM motherboards. 2) The general sequence involves a power button press signaling the power supply on circuit, which then provides power to the motherboard and signals the chipset to start the boot process. 3) Debug points for no power issues include checking for short circuits, battery voltage, crystal oscillator, standby voltages, the power button circuit, and the PSON signal which initiates the power on sequence.
