Okay... But the problem is that I see nothing in the manual about using it exclusively to troubleshoot the motherboard. Seems like you 1st need the 'Printer port LED' to begin the process. And there's no diagram for building one in the manual. --- Alistair Cockeram <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If all else fails Matt, get a second mainboard from ebay.

Well... that's where I got this board, and I had problems with it not booting off and on right from the beginning. I paid $100 for it as an "as is" purchase with no further warranty. So yeah, another used one on EBay is a possiblilty. But I'm thinking maybe I ought not risk it again, and instead buy a complete 110CT system that has been confirmed as working well for a reasonable amount of time before putting it on EBay. Did the board you bought come with any kind of warranty Alistair? Matt __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
