I posted a little while ago about some fuels and octanes my father had. He asked me to start going through them and figuring everything out. I’m more of a pc person and I am unsure with a lot of this stuff. I have a fuel 700 and when you push the power button nothing happens at all. I switched out the power supply with one that is booting done and I still get nothing when pressing the power button. On a pc I would check the power supply, all plugs etc. I checked all of that and still nothing. What else troubleshooting wise could I do and look for to try and get it working or figure out what is wrong with this?
 
Edit: With apologies, I no longer wish to have involvement with SGUG or SGI communities in general,
and have also chosen to remove all of my content. Many things have changed since I co-founded, named, and ultimately
then left SGUG. There are many good people around, to whom I apologize for frustrating by removing these things, and
also many petty people that over the years whittled down both the enjoyment as well as sense of obligation I used to
feel to anyone else regarding what was ultimately just a hobby. Unfortunately one of the latter now writes the rules
and so it is time for me to take my things and go.

This message will replace all of my previous forum posts because deleting threads that I started would have removed
other peoples' posts.

Connect a serial console to the 9 pin D-Sub socket on the mainboard, at 38400 8N1, and see if there's anything there. Check the power and env commands.

Not sure if you Fuel is even salvageable if you've used a regular PC power supply (that wouldn't work anyway without an adapter).
