Hi:

We have a 12 year old DEC 3000 Model 600 running Tru64 v4.0E in our lab.
Recently, the machine has become unreachable via the internet (telnet, ftp,
etc). Also, the console monitor appears blank. I verified that the monitor
works with another computer.

The power light is on and I can hear the fan running inside the box. I have
also tried cycling the power. Still I get a blank screen at the console.
There is a row of 7 diagnostic LEDs on the back of the machine. When I
turn on the machine, LEDs 4-7 light up and remain on. Does anyone know what
this means?

I think the motherboard is dead since we can't even get the console user
interface to come up on the monitor.

Thanks,
Wayne
