I have seen online that a soldering a transistor and/or failing that replacing the psu would fix it.

Can anyone share a guide on steps to soldering the transistor as well as replacing the psu, and details where a compatible transistor and psu can be purchased?

Thanks in advance, any help would be appreciated.

The case is set for Master by default (no pins), I used a jumper to set it to Cable Select, but that didn't help. I could try Slave, but I would think Master is the correct setting anyway.

The drive bay has a red light, and Disk Utility doesn't see anything.

Thanks!

As per image - in a previous heavy handed RESET with an overlong paperclip, i have managed to break the reset switch from the motherboard.

I need some details of a suitable component and then the wiring / orientation for the four pins that will need soldering.

Alternatively, if someone knows how to temporarily short these four pins out then that would also be helpful, eg clockwise from top left 1 - 4, do I need to be jumping 1 to 3 or 3 to 4 or whatever.

Thanks,

Michael

My question: is this the only approach? Or does someone have another suggestion.

This particular PCB number has been impossible for me to find online, so I am hoping someone has a workaround or resource.

I found a thread that describes using an ExtFS driver to mount the SATA drive directly to the computer - when I try this the drive does show up and I can view and access the folders and files, but the drive dismounts intermittently and file transfer speeds are EXTREMELY slow.

Any input from you guys would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

How to repair it?

⟐ Commented August 21, 2021 at 2:56 MST

Grabbed a 2009 Xserve to tinker with, it won’t show anything on screen, the CPU doesn’t get warm, the PSU fans are the only fans that are on.

All the LEDs on the edge of the second expansion slot are green, the CPUA MEM LED is lit up green, the System State is reported as S0 by a green LED, and the PLT_RST is orange. The orange status LED blinks, then off, then more blinking

I can answer any questions needed, I’ve already reseated the CPU and RAM.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Does anyody know how to disassemble this case? I want to access the fan that is making a terrible noise. There is no way to figure out how to reach it.

Thanks!
