[HECnet] CHIMPY's died

[Dan B]

try leaving it alone, unplugged for a week, it may not work in your
case but who knows
it happened to me only once in life, but I had a dead machine
resurrecting by itself a week later
without doing absolutely nothing, I still don't know what happened
that box worked for twenty years "after" the problem

Also on a VAX, I had a dead machine that started working again
but this one had lights, just needed to recharge something
before it would start running tests again
this box had been unplugged for too many years
sometimes a bad battery pack does also some strange things

cheers

The power comes on and stuff happens, but no diagnostic beeps or anything.

Could it still be the power supply?

Chimpy wont boot for some reason anymore.

I've reseated all the RAM, the CPU and PCI cards - but get nothing. Not even the diagnostic beeps.

Any ideas?

Hello!
Checked the power supply? It might have blown the fuses/circuit
breakers on it. What was it doing before it unceremoniously shut
itself down?

Hello!
It most certainly could be. Is that fellow the oldest in your
collection or the youngest? Remember computers age faster then people,
but not faster then cats. (We will leave out the other entity here,
and of course why.)
