    Will it boot into service mode from trouble reset?

    turn the machine on with the hdd disconected.

    if its starts and throws a hdd error, go ahead and replace the hard drive, format it and see if it operates normally.

    if it makes no difference and still wont start with the hdd disconnected, it wasnt the hard drive - no love lost.

    Another possibility is failed RAM.

    I have removed HD but it still will not start. Screen remains on initial display at power on. The KonicaMinolta logo doesn't appear. It wont boot from usb with firmware file either. I will change memory module and MFP and let you know.
    Thanks for replies but let me know if you have anymore ideas.

    how long are you waiting with a usb key in the service port for writing firmware ?

    it takes considerably longer for an e series to start up normally let alone to write firmware, it also does not display the dot on the screen as per the non e series just to confuse things even more.

    wait atleast 10 minutes after turning on the machine with the key in the service port to assume something is wrong, 5 minutes of no activity is pretty normal.

    Yes they can take a long time but it was sitting with Usb for 30 miniutes with no indication of any activity.
    However if the front door or side door is opened the fans that are running cut out.

    is the panel completely dead, ie nothing on the screen at all?

    is this a new machine out of the box or has it been working fine until recently ?

    If you try the memory and it still doesnt work i would agree that its time to start trying more drastic measures. Trying board swaps in these new machines is a total nightmare for the uninitiated and you should not proceed unless you have had the training required.

    It may be the MFP board failure
