IBM PS/2 P70
IBM PS/2 P70
Does anyone have an IBM PS/2 P70?

The most expensive computer I ever bought.
Unfortunately it no longer boots up. When I power on the orange screen comes on, but it doesn't beep, no bios screen or anything.
In the past it would burst into life if i firmly slapped the sides before powering on, but that no longer works.
Any suggestions?
Is there an HMM for this system?

I've got one of these flapping about on the floor of my workshop. I'm just trying to summon up the energy to take a look at it....
