OK, so I double checked the jumper settings. Then I unplugged the IDE cable on the CD-ROM, still nothing. So, I had a hunch, and unplugged the master molex cable, and plugged it directly into the 24x CD drive. I got nothing.

So, I think the connector might be bad, but that does not explain why the zip drive was still powering up. I am downloading a copy of the service manual right now, and I am going to check and see how or if the cable plugs into the other end of the power supply.

Unless anyone has any other suggestions before I remove the upper plastic casing and get near the deadly CRT (I don't know how to nor do I have the tools to discharge one).
