Subject: Sun 3/80 mobo wanted
By chance does anyone have a Sun 3/80 mainboard lying around. I fired mine
up after years and it no longer powers up. I first thought it was the PS,
but I replaced it with a known working one from an SS1 and it still was
dead. Any possible ideas would be appreciated.

I bet that one of the tantalum caps on the motherboard shorted.
It is a common failure mode.
If you leave it powered on for a while you will find it.
