Hi Chris,

I assume you've looked here...

http://dlc.sun.com/pdf/802-3819-10/802-3819-10.pdf

Sounds like a dead switch-mode PSU. Dried/shorted caps, shorted
switching transistors etc.
Do you here a clicking noise from the PSU? Could it be a blown fuse in
the PSU internals or somewhere else?

I just went to power it up (it's been disconnected from mains) to see what the specs were, to clear off any personal data, and to send it on to a new home if anyone wants it. But it's dead. Doesn't power on at all. Is there anything obvious I'm missing that I should try, or should I just yank the hard drives and send it off to the tech recyclers?
