I'll try to not turn this into a troubleshooting forum...

I know you're not asking for help trying to bring the machine back from the dead, but it's one of those things that I do, so if it helps get the BMS software development up and going quicker, it's all for the love of bonsai... right?

If you've already gone through all this, just tell me and I'll stop.

When you hit the power, do the lights and stuff come on (has the power supply gone out on the machine)?

If so, does the BIOS post?

If the BIOS does post, have you set it to boot to a CD before the hard drive?
What have you tried to use as a boot CD?

What exactly happens when you boot it, i.e. does the Windows splash screen come up with the blue or green progress bar and then you freeze, etc...(I'm assuming you're using Windows XP).

Just trying to help, let me know if you've been through all this. Good luck with it and thanks for taking the time to create the db, it's a great idea.
