Your ticket number for this job is: 1-494-LZ

Problem summary: mooneye down. Console shows 
kernel panic due to null pointer dereference 
and death of interrupt handler.

Reboot resulted in machine turning on all keyboard 
LEDs but no VGA out.

Inspection of internals of machine showed 
CPU fan not running. Burnt a fresher on the CPU 
to check theory.

Replaced CPU fan and flat MTGT unit.

Problem resolved.

Thanks to Thomas and the other fresher whose name 
I have forgotten.
