R710 - No post, no boot, no LCD, nothing!
Morning all.
Dell PowerEdge 710 that came off warranty in Jan 2016. It was in production for years without issue.
We removed from stock today to test before recycling. No matter what we try, the server does not even try to boot.
We have taken it to Minimum to Post, and still nothing. Pushing the power button does nothing.
We have tried:
-Known good RAM
-Known good PSU
-Known good CPU
-Known good control panel
-New CMOS battery
iDrac is not available when powered off.
I don't understand how this can be in storage, unused for 12 months, then suddenly won't work in any way!
ideas?

Hello.
Press and hold the power supply button for about 15 seconds and then re-seat every hardware component with associated cables in the server including processors, riser cards, PCIe cards, hard rives etc. Power the server ON. If it does not bootup, then consider replacing the system board.
