My 3000 appears to die about every 2 years. I clean all the dust and reseat everything a few times and it comes back. There are chips on the MB in the corner under the Power and HD LEDs that run hot. I have an extra fan blowing on them.
If you run out of patience or give up, don't pitch it in the land-fill. Sell it for parts, there are too few left.
