Hi folks, 
   our decstation 5000/25 named "mackintosh" in 9-550 won't restart.
After powercycling all we get is a white square cursor in the lower left
corner.  The boot PROMs never start up, we never get to monitor mode.

Neds a service call, I'd say.  Thanks!
The decstation is CRL Garden #23, in the far corner of the room by the
glass wall.  It has a note on it saying "I'm dead" or the equivalent.

Thanks again!
