I have an AlphaServer 1000A 4/266 that is not booting. When I power it
up, nothing shows up on the control panel LCD and there are no beep
codes. I know that the motherboard is receiving power because the "link
active" light on the Ethernet adapter comes on. Is there anything that I
can do to fix it, or should I just try to find another Alpha (I don't
seem to have much luck with Alphas - I have a DEC 3000/300X with a bad
RAM slot).

There's every chance the LCD is hosed, do you get anything out of a console
connection? From what I remember the A1000A doesn't beep on successful POST,
first machine to do that was the DS20.
