hi
i have had the box open and when i switch on the socket there are 2 led's that flash once
and thats it i have been talking to the company where i bought it from and they are going to take it back and check and repair the item so will wait for them to return it
and hopefully will be all ok
fingers crossed

well its back

finally got the MPro back from the sellers told me it was the power button but they could find one for a 2009 pro they put it in another case and had it on test and all ok when i get it back its doing the same thing again 2 red led's flash when the socket is switched on and nothing on the front at all no white led for the power button pressed the Diag button and the amber power led lights up same as before stripped the case out HDD and processor board and still nothing does any think it may be the psu because if it is i will just get one myself and aske the sellers for a reimbursement as i dont want to send it back to them again
has any one got any ideas whet i could try

thanks in advance

Well apart from suggested power supply, using a surge protector by any chance or tried it in a different power point? At any rate take it back as their repair sure sounds ****ey.
