[NTLUG:Discuss] No SCSI boot device found

[Burton Strauss]

If you've reseated the cables, etc. then it sounds like the HD is dead.  

At the time of the 'fall', was the machine operating or was it powered off??
Most HDs have a much lower shock rating when operating vs. powered off
(heads retracted).

All:

any more. Below is the message when I try to turn on the box:
