well, don't throw it to trash, but probably the users list would be more helpful here.. -> take a serial cable (null-modem pinout) and restart the qube. if you get output on the serial-interface (I guess it's 11500,8,n,1) you will get at the and a console-login. if it shows nothing there's some trick to press a keypad or key on the q3-back then it will init the serial next time it boots as console. you can also always try to read the manual where above is printed ;-) finally: if nothing helps take the HDDs out and check the content by mounting the disks in another box. i know 800 miles are probably annoying here, but if it's defective, it simply is, bad luck. hth hk _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
