I concur. Power supply on the drive cabinet has probably gone bad.

If this is an HP6000 series SCSI disc enclosure or 2 & 4 GB SCSI drives, and
you are expecting to get HP hardware support on it, I would suggest you need
to move very quickly. HP has already dropped support on these for many
customers due to not being able to get these power supplies anymore. Even
customers with long-term hardware contracts are having the HP6000 enclosures
and 2/4 GB drives dropped from support March 31.

I have also heard third party hardware suppliers are having trouble getting
these power supplies. This may or may not be true. I know the 4GB drives are
getting near impossible to find.

So, if it is an HP6000 series (whatever the official part number for that
is...) you may want to stock up on power supplies if you find them. Or take
this opportunity to convert to another drive type which is supported

This sounds very familiar -- I'd say the power supply on the drive cabinet
is
either going or gone [does the fan "not spin" due to being gunked up with
dust & grease, or just "no power"?]  I'm thinking that the power supply is
detecting a problem and shutting down moments after powering up [hence why
you see a "momentary flicker"]
