[Sunhelp] problem with e150 -

[Tom Jones]

When you turn the key do you hear the fan start and do you have any power indication?

I worked on an E150 a long time ago that had been shutdown with init 5.  This causes the
power supply to reset, meaning the case had to be opened and the rocker switch pressed on
the power supply to start the system back up.  Sun's resolution at the time was to replace
the power supply!  My recommendation back to SunService was to drill a small hole in the back
of the case, similar to a floppy eject hole, that would allow the user to insert a paperclip
and depress the power supply rocker switch.

Hope this helps!
