Hello All.
My Indigo2 stopped to boot. Yellow LED blinking and no chime. All I can hear is HDD starting, but that's it.
I want to do diagnostics, so please suggest what cable I need to get to the diagnostics? Many years back I used Putty on Windows to connect to my Fuel and I hope that will work here, but I have no idea how to start diagnose this Indigo2. What cable do I need?

I already removed some SIMMs and replaced few others (I thought it may be RAM issues) in different combinations, but that's it - no effect
Any help is much appreciated.

instructions for the serial cable can be found here
just use some breadboard wires if you don't have a matching mini DIN connector at hand. only three wires required, rx, tx, gnd.
