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.................. -Jeff ========================== Jeff Donsbach, Computervision Division, PRIME Computer, Inc. , Bedford, MA UUCP: {decvax|linus|sun}!cvbnet!jdonsbac | Internet: jdonsbac@cvbnet.prime.com "They are not 'the hell' your whales." - Spock, STIV: TVH
