TS-251 Wont boot with disks

Post by mwigham »

Having a problem with my TS-251 today.
The devise was power cycling and unavailable. I powered it off, checked the power, changed the CMOS and reseated the RAM, but whenever I plug the disks in, as soon as the disks begin to initialize, the machine crashes and reboots.
If I remove both disks, it boots successfully. With an HDMI attached, I can see it running.

As soon as I insert one or both of the disks, the machine just crashes and reboots.

Any ideas? Are the drives borked? Any other tests that I can do?

No power outages that I can detect, and been running fine for the last couple of years

@dolbyman - You were right!
Ordered a new power cord, and all works as before
