Good point, although a toasted cable on the AC supply is more likely. They always break where the cable enters the molded plug. Sometimes the connector on the power board gets loose, but if you can power off the AC supply, this isn't likely. Can you power up from AC? -- Greg G 2400C at retrotechpost.com
