[rescue] Help! My Ultra AXi - dead or just misunderstood?

[Gary Nichols]

Bill -
I reseated the CPU, and still no dice.  I'm leaning towards the 
motherboard, because I can do a stop-D/power-on and the LED's on the 
keyboard blink and I get that reassuring 'BEEP!' from the keyboard.  
Sun's docs indicate this is usually a faulty MB.  Any other ideas?  I 
know you've had adventures with your AXi box.  :-)
