I installed an ESDI disk in my uVax. It didn't work. I took it apart and
discovered that the cable had been caught in the door and had ripped (flat
cable). Disconnected it and the drive and the system doesn't come up to a
prompt anymore. Sometimes the display on the back goes to 'F' and sometimes
to 'C'. I've also noticed that my DC-OK light isn't lighting up.
Is is possible I've toasted some aspect of the pwr supply? (perhaps just
switching it on and off has done this)

    AAAAAAAAAAARGH!
I hate this, everything seems to be going fine and then suddenly nothing
seems to work.
I've decide to focus on the BA123 housed uVax.
I power it up and get no response on the terminal. The CPU board has four
red LEDs (all lit) and there are three LEDs on the ethernet (also lit).
The HEX display on the back of the unit says "F."
The front has the red HALT light illuminated, DC OK is _not_ illuminated.
My slots are :

No obvious smell of smoke, just dust.
What can I check ?
