Hi guys just a quick question or 2.
A while back I bought a 4100 from eBay ( don't laugh ) and was assured that the unit was working and just the hdds were taken out, of course it didn't work (I think).
I filled it up with old 20gig hdds and thought that is all it needed.
When the unit is connected up and I press the power button the fans spin up and the link light comes on , that is all it does and I can't even power off using the button.
I have tried connecting using assist , resetting the unit , checked all voltages are ok out of the psu and even putting the old working cloned drive out of my 1100.
Can anyone suggest anything else or is it dead?
If the mobo is dead would people recommend Northwest Technical for a replacement mob? , the existing mobo is a 70715021 and northwest do a 70715039 is this just a straight swap ?? , I would get new cpu and memory as well
Last question I promise
, If it is dead and I get a mobo from northwest do I put the hdds back and when I power it up the OS will install from flash or will I need a OS from somewhere else ?
many many thanks for reading this far and I hope you can help 8)
Mike
