I have seen several old ML 350 G6 Server, that running a long time. If you remove the power, they don't come up again. And no Light, as you have. We try to change Power Supply, but it never helps. The only solution is to change the Motherboard.

I assume, that there is an aged out Electronic Device on the Mainboard, that prevents the Server to come back after a Power loose.

Remember, this Server is around 7 to 11 Years old.

it had noting to do with motherboard or psu. it was the power back panel. i was buying a new one and everything worked like a charme.

thanks for so far. it was the tip i got after calling hpe support. and it was the problem.! thanks a lot.
