Thanks for all the help so far with my Octane, its still dead.

Currently to recap, I have replaced the following:

* Frontplane
* Mainboard
* Powersupply

When the machine is powered on, the power supply fan spins. The HDD cage fan ticks over, and the drives are momentarily supplied with power before going quiet again. Like they start to spin up, but then stop. I now have the correct diagnostic LED's on the front panel, but I think my light bar is broken so I Don't know if anything happens there. I measured the voltage and only seem to get 5v.

Stripped RAM down to 2 modules.


Nothing at all come out of the serial port. So I am thinking that the CPU module may be dead.

I'm a bit too poor to buy ebay cpus right now. Does anyone have any thoughts of what I could try next?
