try leaving it alone, unplugged for a week, it may not work in your case but who knows it happened to me only once in life, but I had a dead machine resurrecting by itself a week later without doing absolutely nothing, I still don't know what happened that box worked for twenty years "after" the problem Also on a VAX, I had a dead machine that started working again but this one had lights, just needed to recharge something before it would start running tests again this box had been unplugged for too many years sometimes a bad battery pack does also some strange things cheers :) On Sun, Sep 11, 2011 at 2:22 PM, Gregg Levine <gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com> wrote: On Sun, Sep 11, 2011 at 4:24 PM, Sampsa Laine <sampsa at mac.com> wrote: The power comes on and stuff happens, but no diagnostic beeps or anything.

It might have blown the fuses/circuit breakers on it. What was it doing before it unceremoniously shut itself down? ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again." Hello! It most certainly could be. Is that fellow the oldest in your collection or the youngest? Remember computers age faster then people, but not faster then cats.
