Emax

Hi all...

I have a Emax 1000 on my lab workbench, I got it from a colleague that
was trowing it into the trash. It's nearly new, just the usual dust
that you can expect on a machine that's been in a cellar for at leas 5
years.

He told me that the Emax was fully functional when he stopped using it.

Now, the Emax does power on (at least it seems...) but it doesn't even
try to boot. It halts almost instantly with all front panel leds on,
nothing on the display (but the display itself it's powered on and
shows the usual "empty" LCD pixel grid, so I can assume it's working)
and no access to floppy disk drive, or so it seems... I see no access
light on the drive, with or without a disk. 

Any idea about that? I've asked for the service manual, but the Emax
1000 is a machine that I don't know at all, so maybe someone of you
could have a hint about those symptoms... 

Thanks in advance.
