I have a Dell Poweredge 1300SC and a 300SC, neither of which will POST. No beep, nothing. Tried swapping PSU, ram, CPU to no avail. Are there any known issues with these? I don't think they are worth fixing though. I've seen the whole system on Ebay for $9.99 buy it now

Re: A couple Dell servers that don't post...
This sounds like something that I should get. A quick Google search comes up with a half dozen cards. The most common is by StarTech:

I can't find the SOYO one offered by anyone but SOYO themselves:

The biggest complaint about the StarTech, is that the readout is facing down (in a tower). It looks like the SOYO has a detached readout.

Re: A couple Dell servers that don't post...
Thanks for the info. I managed to get both of them working
The 1300 board started coming to life after I removed it from the case and replaced the dead CMOS battery. I then discovered that it would give me a beep code with no RAM installed, but nothing when I had RAM in the slots. Turns out it didn't like the registered ram, and it worked fine with standard PC100 ECC. The cool thing about this system is it looks nearly new, like they had problems with it early on. The others looked like this:
The 300, I don't know why but it just started working out of nowhere.

I'm pretty sure I know why that one stopped working. It looks like some clumsy 'paper-certified warrior' spilled his Pepsi inside!You know there's something wrong when you open up a PSU and are glad to find Teapos.
Why I don't buy cheap cases!
