never thought of that unity......he probably did have it plugged in.............saying that when I blew my 128k I was finished all work  and it was  all together (board connected, drives , everything). After blowing power board I  replaced with good board, tested it and everythinmg else was allright.

ive been sitting here trying to figure out what to do. Ill go with your advice...new similar model and hope the boards are the same....although the amps on the 12+ on the psu on ebay is lower than on mine.
