Recently came into a longtime want - a Canon object.station 41, with the keyboard.

The SCSI card and drives are in the machine, thought the SCSI cable is missing.

On power-up, the caps/num/scroll lights flash briefly, and there is power to the disk drives, but there is no POST, no beeps, no activity on the screen. Pressing numlock etc. don't change any of the lights.

I will need to pull the machine apart; I'm assuming troubleshooting would be what one would do on a "regular" 486 of this vintage.

Anyone have any previous experience and knowledge to share? I see a _lot_ of what look like gumdrop caps on the board, so I think I have an idea of where this is going...

Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom!
