Did anything else change from the last time it powered on? Was it working one day and literally didn't work the next, or was it out of use for a while? I don't have a W5 Pro, but checking its details, it seems to have a unique power adapter/port, so I don't know if you have a spare one you can test ...

I get witt's comment, but obviously catch11x2 is aware that Server isn't the official OS for the device. However, that shouldn't affect its ability to boot. I personally haven't tried installing Windows Server on mine, but suspect you'll need to check the boot setting in the BIOS. Did you wipe the d...
