I took a 3/140 to another facility for a demonstration. When I powered it on there, it refused to boot. All 8 of the LEDs would flash together at a rate about twice a second. It sounded like a relay in the power supply was clicking in synchronism with the LEDs. The monochrome monitor, which draws its AC from the cpu box, appeared to have power applied to it intermittently at the same rate. When I brought the corpse home, it booted and ran perfectly! I can't get it to fail. Neither could the Sun tech who looked it over. It occurred to me that the AC voltage might have been out of range, but there were several PCs and an Apollo ('scuse my mentioning them) in same room later working perfectly. Any ideas?
