As far as I can tell, yes. When I power it up the lights across the top
(Type 6 keyboard - num Loc, Caps Lock, Scroll Lock, Compose) flash on
briefly.
It used to only work via a serial connection to [I believe] port A.
Once it stopped working, I've gone back to trying to use a connected Sun
keyboard and PC monitor via adapter.
This morning, I have the cover off. When I power up the machine while
holding Stop-N, I get a beep, the 4 lights flash on briefly and then
off, I then hear the [CPU?] fan come up and then shut down. The power
light on the front of the machine never comes on. This is the typical
behavior.
If I leave it plugged in [or is it plugged in and turned on?] for a
while, eventually, the front power LED will light -- takes a few days,
though.
Cheers,
Dave
