Poweredge 2800 won't boot up
I have a PE 2800 which will not power on. The green light on the power supply indicates that a power source is present no other lights come on, on the the power supply. Please note I have replaced the power supply and I still have the same problem.
I don't have a remote access card installed and I have removed the Bios battery, memory, hard drives and removed the riser card from the rear of the server but still nothing. I have removed each of the processor's in turn and swapped the sockets used and still nothing. The light on the LCD screen comes on on the front but does not report any problems other than chassis intrusion. The green light flashes on and off on the power button and when I press the power button nothing happens not even the cooling fans come on.
I suspect either the motherboard but need a second opinion. Can someone help shed some light on this matter.
Many thanks for any help given.

Sounds like MB problem to me.
Sounds like the Mobo, but could still be the Power supply. Any way to swap that with another.

10-4 will all the rest mob is the next to replace
The last method you can try before swapping the mboard is draining down the power. Unplug your power cord hit and hold your power button for 5 seconds. Boot it up with only one memory dimm.
