Hi,

My E60 has is green led flashing and it doesn't start, the screen doesn't power on, and the CDROM Player has is led always on.

Have you already encountered this problem ?

Thx

Negative, but did you trie disconnecting all cables power etc for a minut or something and then plug it all back in? Else a bios reset (the hard way, jumper on the mainbord) if that doesn't work you might call hp customer support.
Greetz,

Nury,

First step--> unplug the server for 5 minutes to clear out the cache--> While it is unplugged flip switch 5 to ON to clear CMOS.. Also while powered off reseat CPU/VRM, Memory and system board.
If this resolves the no video issue then you had CMOS/Bios corruption.. Next step would be to power off server, flip switch 5 back to OFF and then flash BIOS.
If this doesn't resolve it->

Remove keyboard and mouse--> If still unresolved-->

Next Remove all PCI cards--> If still unresolved-->

Next Unplug hdds, floppy, cd-rom--> Just boot to system board, cpu and memory (if this resolves it add back components one by one until the faulty unit is identified.)--> if still no change->>

remove all memory--> if you get a beep code with no memory your likely looking at a CPU/VRM, system board as the culprit at that point..

Ciao,
Greg

I think I have found the problem, I tried to boot the system with an other power supply, and it seems to work :) Maybe a voltage was not ok on the first power supply and that's why the machine doesn't wanted to start... Thanks for your help
