| I rescued a SparcServer 330 from a dumpster and I'm trying to get it running again. Basically, I have connected a Sun monitor, a Sun keyboard and mouse. The machine powers up but I get no video. I do not have the ethernet or SCSI port hooked up but usually these are not necessary to get the EPROM boot message. I looked through the SUN FAQ and the only related topic I found was the one suggesting to connect the video after 60 sec following powering up the unit which still failed to fix the problem. I pulled the cards and as far as I can see they look ok, ie. the memory simms are there and no visible fried or missing components. The LED diag display shows some activity but I have no info as to its meaning. Is it possible that the display port is simply disabled? My next move is to hook up a serial port as suggest in my last post. Any ideas/suggestions anyone? I'm hoping to fix the unit after almost breaking my back carrying it down to my basement... I mean server room. Thanks. |
