Hi All!

Here's a good one for those of you with a DIY technical background:

What are the most common issues that could make a NuBus card "DOA"?  I
recently received an FWB SCSI Jackhammer that does not show up in Apple
System Profiler, and Tattle Tech also cannot detect the presence of the card
when installed.
Essentialy, this therefore is a "dead" card.

What are the first things I should look for in trying to repair this card?
I assume that I should first check to be sure that it is receiving power
from the motherboard - true?
Do these cards sometimes have onboard power supplies that fail?
What about blown microfuses (what would a fuse look like that wasn't a
conventional fuse) - is there such a thing as an SMD fuse?

I'm ready to dive in really deep, and I've got all my test equipment out...
who's able to help point me in the right direction as to how to proceed?

TIA (very much!)

Best wishes,
Greg Shafritz
