Yeah, I've done that before too tony, but like he and you said he had booted
the box once.

Korey,
Just a wild stab -- I had this happen once and it turned out that the 
115V/230V switch on the power supply was in the wrong position. Luckily, the

power supply was smart enough that it simply refused to turn on, instead of 
frying everything!

This probably isn't your problem, since you'd already booted it
successfully, 
and you'd probably know if you'd moved that switch. But still, have you 
checked it?

Tony
