I'd guess you have a LED code on the front telling you what is going on.. - anyone local you can ask to check?
Or you have a console or console cable problem.. - that is about where the serial handshake changes so you need a console / cable that can handle both hardware and software handshake.
So it is probably sitting there hung, or waiting for input but you cannot see the progress or what it wants an input for.
