Steam Machine won't start-up?

[Michael]

I was having the start-up loop issue many months back, and heard about a solution that required a keyboard which I didn't have, so I unplugged the console and left it on a shelf until I got one. Now that I have one, I hooked it back up, and now I can't even get a start-up screen, my TV says that there's no signal. I've tried both HDMI ports on the back of the console, but my TV still says "No Signal." Is there any way I can fix this?

Does the system beep or flash?
Try a power drain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pQ3kgShSr8

I tried the power drain, and fortunately, I don't get a black screen anymore, but now it just hangs on the start-up screen. What would you recommend I do now?

Try running the F12 ePSA diagnostic: http://dell.to/2mm6oCf
Check if the hard drive is detected in the BIOS.
Also, try removing and reinstalling the hard drive. Check out this videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzwiElEfn1k
