R720 not working

Question

Hi, Just got R710 and for the life of me, I cannot get it to work or even post. I tried, reset's incl factory and NVRAM, new cmos baterry , memory (switch several DIMM's)... It powers on but dont get VGA (front/back), just LCD messages: 'System is booting...' or 'ipv6:undefined' but nothing happens. Just gets stuck. Both power supplies are working, all fans working, idrac also seems to be working and tried ssh '192.168.0.120'  but nope. Search online and in here but cannot find a solution for this. Honestly, I don't know what to do next. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello thanks for choosing Dell. Could you try the minimum to post here? https://dell.to/3pDHVh5   Worst case scenario, we should be looking at exchanging motherboards. Wish you a good one.
