If you don't think it's the power supply, then I'd say disconnect the
keyboard and mouse, if applicable.

Then connect to serial port A from another machine via  NULL modem cable and
see if you get any output.

If you can get to an ok> prompt then check that the following are set as
follows:

input-device should be keyboard
output-device should be screen
diag-level can be min or max, but min is quicker
diag-switch? should be false unless you like waiting 15-20 minutes to get
screen output
auto-boot? should be false until you have a working OS installed

Then try hooking the keyboard and mouse back up and power cycle the machine.

If you don't get any output at all via the NULL modem connection something
else is likely bad.
