I assume that you have tried an alternate main power lead in a different
socket.
If you have then it sounds as though the power supply is crowbarring on
initialisation.
I would remove internal components until it powers on correctly.

you can't afford a replacement for a 6-8 year old server (new in 2009),
yet someone who is presumably being paid is not able to work. whats
that costing?
Let's see:
1. the server was working fine before we moved it out of the datacenter
yesterday afternoon.
2. You're suggesting that they can say "ok", and we run down to
Microcenter and
buy a new one today, and plug it in today, right?
3. This is a US federal government agency; we run machines until they die,
or
we can justify replacing them. And then it takes a month or two
(if we're
lucky before all the approvals, and then it gets shipped. I would
imagine
it's like that in any large corporation, too.
mark, who's looking for suggestions to help, not be criticized for
not just buying another, as though, as a contractor, I had *any*
authority to do that (contractors DO NOT)
