While we're on the subject of dead equipment, I've got an 810 that
hasn't been working for over a year now. The problem is that it just
isn't getting power. When you turn it on, nothing happens. I know the
power supply is ok, because it works with my 850 interface. I also did
a continuity check on the on/off switch and that was ok too.

Does anyone have any clues as what to look at next? I don't have much
of a clue when it comes to hardware, but my roomate is a hardware
hacker and could probably help me out. Any help would be appreciated.
I would rather not pay Atari $$$ for an exchange when I could probably
get a new XF551 for almost the same amount..................
