fixed the bad power connector... i compared it to another duo i had and realised the 2 pins in the broke duo were 'flatter' than the other... so i stuck a little screwdriver in it and bent them back out.. quick fix... that worked (good thing too... #9 and #6 torx bits were not to be found in my range of tools... #10 was the smallest i had) ...just a little tid bit o' info for anyone else that might run into this problem... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
