NUC7i7DNK / BLKNUCi7DNK2E Boot problem (No HDMI output)

[PMagn]

TL;DR: Any advise on how to proceed with a NUC not displaying any output?

Longer:

Received a NUC7i7DNK / BLKNUCi7DNK2E that appears faulty. No screen detects any output from the NUC.

• Two different monitors tested
• Two different HDMI cables tested
• Both HDMI connectors tested

Never seen the Intel NUC boot logo, i.e. screen output is none for all testing.

Memory is Corsair Vengeance CMSX16GX4M2A2400C16 (2x8).

• Other 8GB module by Corsair is verified OK by Intel, http://www.cmtlabs.com/x-cmtlpdfreports/027070.pdf http://www.cmtlabs.com/x-cmtlpdfreports/027070.pdf , I am guessing this is essentially a similar stick in a 2x8GB package.

SSD is Samsung NVMe SSD 960 EVO.

• Power LED is ON (solid color) -- that I have seen during testing with SSD in.
• Power LED is OFF - that is what I see currently (no SSD in).
• System has been tested with both memory sticks, and with only one memory stick, either one of them, no effect.
• System has been tested with two different Intel NUC power supply bricks, no effect.
• Occasionally the fans have spun up to max.

Talked to Intel Support on the phone.

• After removing yellow security jumper, the NUC power light is now blinking 3 times, indicating RAM problem.

Intel Support will investigate further and update me.
