PowerEdge 1800
Last week after a power outage, my server 5 year old Poweredge, would not power on. After replacing two power supplies, I sent it out for an expert to look at.
I was told the main board was dead and would have to be replaced. On a whim, I plugged it in and it miraculously power up and has been running since.
I have never seen this before and was curious if anyone has seen this and what caused it?

Was anything inside the server (other than power supplies) that was reseated or replaced? It may have been that a part required for Post had a poor connection and upon reseating it, it allowed for POST to continue.
We can run a diagnostic on the server to see what we can find out.

Let me know what you see.

Everything was reseated. Four different power supplies, both drives, memory, you name it. But there was absolutely no indication of power anywhere. The power supply "clicked" a few times when I plugged the cord back in, but other than that.... I looked at the diagnostics you recommended, but wasn't sure how to use it and at this point, was just afraid I'd kill it again.
