Hello, When my power supply died, I bought a replacement on Ebay from baltimora2000 for $169.00 and put it in myself. He will buy back your dead power supply. If it were my MDD, I would replace the power supply. I have 3 FW 400 dual boot MDD's and hope that they will last for a long time. Hope this helps, Scot Bruce Nakamura On Mar 17, 2010, at 4:28 AM, jonny wrote: > Good morning! > > My beloved 1.25 MDD that I lovingly refurbished 3.5 years ago died > last week; power supply.
