- Hi everyone,
-
- Our new R4000 Indigo occasionally fails to power up properly: the LED
- on the front of the CPU box turns green immediately, flashes briefly
- orange then turns solid orange. The chord ("tune") is never played and
- the monitor screen remains blank. I plan to ask the TAC about this,
- but I was wondering whether anyone here had any ideas about what could
- be wrong. I've checked the obvious things already: cables,
- connections, seating of SIMMs.
-
- Thanks in advance.
