Nothing more. Check the obvious first. Boards, connectors, and RAM securely seated, power supply voltages, etc. Next, connect a terminal or terminal emulator to the first serial port, N-8-1, 9600 baud.

Sending a BREAK will restart the machine, and you may be able to access the PROM Monitor, depending on what has failed. -- News Flash: Microsoft acquires Electrolux, makes extensive design revisions. Finally releases a product that doesn't suck.
