[SunHELP] I got a new ultra mainboard and now X won't start :(

[Bran Tregare]

failed fan on the heatsink, i had to run box open using a case fan from a 
sacrificial PeeCee clone to keep CPU cool enough so as not to damage it. 
worked great but made it hard to place computer where it needed to go.

James lockwood passed the info on to me

Call Sun Customer Care (I think it's 800-872-4786). Tell them you are
referencing FCO #A0089-1 and have the serial numbers of your boards handy.
They should swap the boards out, no questions asked. I did this with a
board last year and it was a snap.
