BCM 50 Solid Orange Lights On Boot

[number1telecom]

When I plug in this BCM 50 all I do is get the solid orange lights. The same thing that happens when you plug in a BCM 50 either a) without a HD or b) with a bad HD

I tried a new drive (3 actually) and tried swapping the HD cable with a known working one.

Any other recommendations on something I could try?

There is a serial port on the BCM50 motherboard that would show you what's going wrong. FirebirdScrambler wrote a reference guide on how to access the serial port in this thread

Also, have you tried another power supply?

2 Yellow lights can also mean the wrong HD (Rls)
Example if your BCM was originally a Rls 1 then you need to install a Rls 1 HD even though it was upgraded to anything else.

This is a true 2.0 never upgraded and I have tried putting in both a 2.0 drive and a multi image drive but all it does it light up orange and nothing else ever happens. Can't access via putty or anything. Like the unit is not reading the HD at all

Either the unit us faulty or the mains transformer is not sending out enough voltage.

Change the power transformer first.
