Hi Britt , thank you for your interest. It's a shame for me that my 2400 doesnt work anymore; in fact I searched much for it and treated as a collector; moreover, I added many special pieces (Orinoco gold WIFI card, X3D video card, USB CD burner (from Archos), etc.) and it was my home computer. So I still want to have one in working conditions. To gain this I have two options: A) I buy another 2400 and use it; B) I buy another 2400 (even one with a bad display, cracked case, etc, but still working) and use to get spare parts. Thats because dont know where is the fault: if I could know which part was faulty, I would look for it but the only thing that I can say for sure is that the power board is damaged (because I did it). Regarding cardbus, I hope this may not be a problem because if the MOBO is good, I could swap it; otherwise, since I did the modification by myself following instructions found on the net, I hope I still do have somewhere those informations. Anyway, let me know what you can do. With reguards. Raffaele
