Hugh:
The hard drive was removed and being
examined separately. The floppy drive and memory
stick were tested separately and are known to be
good. A good floppy boot disk was in the drive.
I expected some activity when the CPU jumped to
the CMOS for its first instructions. I do not believe
any of the other lights flashed, indicating activity
in those components. There did not seem to be
any warming of the CPU which would indicate
activity there. I was looking for any tricks to
tell me why there was no activity. I will try
to be more observant the next time I turn
it on.
