Hi there,
My 450G died on me this weekend. I've had it running for some two years or so with no problems whatsoever. I have the feeling it is a serious hardware problem as it won't beep when I apply the power. Also a reset (holding reset and plugin in power) won't make any difference. Serial cable don't report any chars when booting and the link leds on the interfaces stay off.
Is there a check I can perform to make sure it's really dead as in dead? A visual inspection of the PCB doesn't reveal anything. I also don't smell anything burning when doing a 'nose check' over the PCB. I just read something about faulty capacitors. Is this a common cause?
thank you for your time,
Martijn
