T140 Won't boot - no video
Hello,
I have a T140 poweredge that is completely dead. A couple lights on the motherboard will light up, but that's it. No fans turn on, and no video, idrac button on front is not lit. Pressing the power supply test button everything seems to be fine, light turns green and all fans start spinning.
I did try replacing the powersupply, but same result. Also unplugged hard drives and removed memory. Is this now the motherboard? What is the part number? I'm finding 00RG5V and 0C2GT0 online.
thanks!

I would recommend trying to get the same part number as your existing motherboard.
If you can't find it or there is a price issue then yes the part numbers are interchangeable.
Others available:

Hello,
Those part numbers are for T140 motherboards.
The QRL sticker closest to the Processor should give you the part number (DP/N) of your current system board.
Looks like it does not power on and complete POST.
You have done some good troubleshooting already.
I want to confirm you brought it down to minimum to POST components, listed below, and tested?
Minimum to post (this is minimum components to POST. If successful POST, put things back a little at a time until find faulting component)
The minimum components to allow the PowerEdge T140 to complete POST are:
● Processor
● One memory module (DIMM) in socket A1
● One power supply unit
● System board
Remove anything not on that list: DVD, Hard drives, PERC controller, backplane, network card, NIC cable, any pcie cards, keyboard, mouse, USB devices, …. anything not on the list remove.
Leave the fans installed.
If it does not post then the issue is with one of those minimum to post components.
If you get successful POST, put things back a little at a time until you find the faulting component.
If you have done all that and still no POST, no Video, the system board maybe the best thing to replace.

@DELL-Charles R are the two boards interchangeable? I only ask because the 0C2GT0 seems to be going for much more right now.
