I tried just hooking the mon/key/ms cables directly into the machine, bypassing the KVM unit, but that made no difference in the problem. I tried slipping a boot diskette in the floppy drive, but there was still no response to that. And I tried loading the Installation CD, but there was no change in the problem. Basically, power comes on when I plug the case in, and a green power light comes on. Initially, when I first plugged the computer in, when I got back from the Installfest, I think I had to press the power button on for the power to really come on, but nothing else happened other than that. Now, I am unplugging and plugging the power cord into the computer to disconnect/turnoff the power, because pressing the power button, and reboot button, do nothing except light-up the CD rom 'activation' light.
If it won't even display to the monitor when I put an Installation CD back in, what am I going to do to get things up and running. Do you think turning off Kudzu before I last shut the computer down, is part of the problem? (with: 'chkconfig kudzu off' ). Or does all of this mean the problem might be hardware breakage/damage from the drop it took? Thanks in advance for any help.
