Not getting login prompt

Hi,

we have a server that runs on redhat linux. It was working fine until last year and all of sudden we are not able to ssh on to that server. we are getting the ping response but not getting the login prompt when tried to connect via ssh.

Port 22 is opened and i have tested it out using telnet command.

So i have requested the guys at the data center to reboot the machine forcefully and when he tries to do it nothing come up on the screen it seems.

When its powered on nothing appears on the screen seems like it is completely dead and the keyboard doesn't work it seems. There is no boot process when powered off/on.

Any advise how to proceed ahead so that we can boot the server and resolve the issue?

Thanks,
P
