Fuel front light blinking white
Hi guys,

I have an old fuel. The last time I used it was about 6 or 7 years ago. Before that, it worked really fine. 

Now I really want to play with it, but it does not boot anymore. Instead that, wheb I push the power button, the front light blinks white and it never stops blinking. What should I do??
Thanks in advance.

Hook a serial cable up to it, and try starting it. it's probably the env monitoring chip or the PSU going.

The environmental monitoring chip is surface mounted.

The PSU can be replaced with an ATX with one of Kuba's adapters.

Hey I found this on techpubs: https://techpubs.jurassic.nl/manuals/065.../ch05.html The fuel has a power on diagnostics you could try from serial like Raion suggested.
Heres a guy who describes fixing one with a flashing white light: https://forums.sgi.sh/index.php?threads/...rsion.129/ fixed with new power supply.
