- Blade 2500 Red, non operational, board looks dead by all accounts. Sold as "was working last I checked"...

Might be worth just double-checking that everything is seated properly inside; my Blade 2000 appeared to be dead until I popped it open and realized that the seller had simply slid the CPU modules into place on the rails but never actually seated them in the socket or locked them down...
