Re: Computer Died-Help!

[ListMail]

Well I tried many of the suggestions. Still no POST. Removing the data 
cables from the hard drives and they are trying to start up.

Seems to me like it is the motherboard. Guess I'll be contacting the 
manufacturer for a replacement.

Hope that won't be a hassle and I hope that it fixes the problem!
Thanks for all the replies. I'll let you know what happens.

I seem to recall this happening sometimes when the cable has been
reverse (red line on the wrong side of the connection) although
this is unlikely given modern cables/devices which prevent such
reversals. Just a thought...
Yes thats true, but not in this case.  The machine was working
properly before the problem occured !!!
