Thanks for the elaborate response! The system did have a second
hard drive put in recently. The keyboard flashes continuously -
that is, blinking off/on without ceasing. A quick inspection
of the capacitors didn't reveal anything suspect (but thanks for
the tip - I didn't know that was something to check).

I haven't tried the power supply the tests you suggested yet. I'm
hoping to get to that this weekend. But after that and the re-
seating/CMOS clear stunts I guess that's pretty much the end of
the diagnostic road. Thanks again for your response - after I
go through these last things, if it's still a dead machine I'll
at know I've given it a pretty good shot.
