[Cube] I joined with a dead cube.

[Melvetta Overturf]

I love this Cube website!
I am having a problem with my Cube.......I can't get it to power up. No 
lights, nothing. I thought the power supply was burnt out so got 
another one and it still won't power up. I'm almost afraid to 
ask..........Any suggestions? Thanks and thanks for letting me be a 
member of this great group! Melvetta
