I have had my Ex490 from new (Nov 2009) and have only had a few minor problems with it over the years. I've replaced the system drive over 6 years ago and my power supply two years ago. A week ago, I noticed that it was turned off unexpectedly. When I went to turn it on, it would attempt to boot twice and then shut down. It refused to turn on if I tried the power button again. If I disconnect the power from the back of the server and plug it back in, it will boot. When I push the reset button, to get the health lights to tell me something, I get a continuously blinking red light. I suspect the motherboard has fried, what else could it be? Could it need another power supply?
