XL201 - Does not start up

Hi there

I have an XL201 Media Center device which does not start up. When you switch it on, there's a beep and nothing happens after that. The screen stays blank so I can't see what it says on screen (if anything) but if you press the power button at this point it switches straight off (indicating that it has not loaded Windows etc).

I took out the hard drives and checked each one and all seem fine. I have noticed that there is a small red light on the right side of the front of the screen. I can't remember ever seeing this before and I am unable to discover what this light means.

I'm not sure what happens when the PSU goes but as I am getting power and some start up, I'm guessing it's not that. Which leaves the motherboard or the graphic card? Any thoughts?

Any help much appreciated.

I should add that the power light comes on, the hard drive light flashes, the DVD drive spins etc but it does power off as soon as you press the power button.
