5100 wont boot

[iainpb]

i ahve just bough a 2nd hand dual P" compaq workstation, i tried tesing it - with no hard drive to see if it works.

there is no monitor ouput, i checked the pci/isa bus card and it is seated correctly. moved the cga card to another pci card and repeated this witha different card, still nothing.

Tere is also nop ost beep, i checked the motherboard power supply and it connected ok, the fan starts and the cdrom accepts disks and ekects them so its not apower issue.

please advise me any other possible causes,
thanks

I would sugggest that the motherboard is shot, particularly if you're not getting any post beeps. The video should be the first to complain, if it's not,well sorry but...
