Hello all,

Stoked to see that I can actually do something with an old T5500 that was about to be tossed into the dumpster at work...  It came with a 1GB Nvidia Quadro 600 card and 12 Gb Hynix Ram.
A quick search brought me here and since I had been planning to build a miner I struck gold it seems...

First problem is that the system won't boot up.  I got a blank HD in it, but I have the dreaded "2-3-4 blink with solid amber power light Pb7" code. Tried the usual and I am now looking at replacing the X5650 CPU.  If that works I am planning to add a few 580's and fire it up.

Love to hear if someone else has had to work through this particular issue before and has insights.  I'll post my build notes along the way...
