Can you post a picture?

I once had a situation somewhat similar to yours, although the "Infinity" did come up under the logo, it just wouldnt boot back-ups. This was in a V10 brand new, so it wasnt a laser issue. The strange thing was that when I first would turn it on and try and boot a back-up it would boot, but once I booted an original (with out powering down the machine) then tried a back-up it would boot and as long as I didnt power down the unit it would continue to boot. It like the original woke up the chip some how.

But your situation is some what different in that your not even getting the "Infinity" under the logo. This happens when the bios wires are incorrect of whatever.

Hey it may come down to a bad chip. I have yet to see a bad Infinity but that doent mean crap, as I'm sure there have been some. The chip I had in the V10 I took out an put in a V5 and it worked flawless, so I still dont totally know what the problem was.

You might try to reflash the chip.
