If they keyboard/mouse is not found, the X11-server does not start.

Check the ribbon-cable that connects the PS/2 connectors to the PCB
inside, as far as I know, you have to unplug that to change the
harddisk out, and they may simply have forgotten to put it back in.

BTW: beware that the internal SCSI-disk is getting old.  I found
the last SCSI-ATA converter in Denmark by luck, and gave mine a CF
card instead.
