[Sunhelp] SPARCStation ELC doesn't boot...

[Michael C. Vergallen]

Have you tried with a terminal and a null modem cable ? Try attaching a
Null modem cable to Serial Port A and attach a terminal to it. turn on 
the power. If you see anything on the console the powersuply is okey
otherwise you need to check and test that out. Next you have to see if 
you have memory installed if not you will get an error... if that is the
case get some memory...Then you should test the monitor if that is dead
you need to fix it.
