Dead Blade-1500



My Blade-1500 (red) crashed this morning. I was able to reboot it, and
got to a text login prompt, but it crashed again (while starting X) before
I could log in and look around.

Now it will not even boot at all, even from CD-ROM. When it's powered on,
the power light comes on; in about 10-15 seconds, it beeps once, then
apparently re-sets; the power light blinks four times (no keyboard led's),
then comes on steady; after another 10-15 seconds, it repeats. Nothing
ever appears on the monitor.

Anyone have ideas where to look? Is this something for a Sun tech to
diagnose? And, is it worth fixing? (I don't have hardware support, so
it'd be T&M.)

Thanks.
