    I recently picked up a bunch of stripped 360 mhz Ultra 5s at a local
    computer junk store.
    (Stripped of all the PCish components, power supply, hard drive, cdrom
    and memory.
    Yep, even the memory even though it is useless in a regular PC)
    I was able to rebuild and revive a couple but 2 of them have a problem.
    The main sympton is that no boot messages appear on the monitor.
    One main difference I have noticed is that the green LED over the power
    button
    does not light up. I have swapped out the CPU, nvram, power supply and
    the
    memory SIMMs from a working Ultra 5 270mhz machine but no go.

    Any ideas anyone?

    Also, can I interchange the CPUs and the memory between 270mhz and
    360Mhz
    Ultra 5 models?

    Thank you.
