[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 721274, member: 42497"] Sounds like it. Problem with moving power supplies on the MDD is the board sits very close to the box, and an extra dab of solder touching the metal case and the power supply shorts out. May be worth taking the power supply apart and looking for flash burns on the rear of the box. This link shows how to do it and the flash burn:- [url]http://www.gkgraphics.com/home/news/2006/11_G4_MDD_PowerSupply/index.shtml[/url] [/QUOTE]
