PowerEdge R310 doesn't turn ON

Question

First of all. Warranty expired last September 2015.

Server doesn't turn on. I order a new power supply and still same.

I tried to started disconnecting the RAID controller and still same.

It has just one memory stick and I just have changed the slot and still doesn't power on.

I disconnected everything from the motherboard and still the same.

Once in a while when I connect back the power it makes noise like is trying to start but that's it.

The LCD screen always is flashing with the server name.

Any idea what could be the problem?

Thank you

Hub_Acarihua,

The Minimum hardware required to post is the following devices;

System board
Processor with heatsink for prevention of over-heating
Power supply unit (PSU) (and for redundant PSU also the PDB)
Riser installed
Front panel (to power system ON)
Single DIMM configuration with DIMM in socket A1.

I know you have done a couple of these, but wanted to confirm the rest. Remove everything from the server but the items on that list and then confirm if the server powers up. If not then swap to the other power supply. Also, is this connected to a UPS or is it direct to outlet for testing?.

Are you seeing any errors being displayed on the system?

Let me know what you see.
