I'm half way through with a drive upgrade, and I go to power up the player and NOTHING!! I'm not getting any vital signs....what now?

I was very careful not to break any capacitors off the inside, and was careful with all the components when removing them.

I'm completely bummed out...Any suggestions?

-I've tried another power supply (I have 3) and even different outlets, but it appears to be EMPEG related.

Thanks,
Wes

Check to make sure the display board is still "plugged in" to the main circuit board.

Yep, everything looks good on that front. I can't even feel/hear the hard disk spin up.

Did you plug a disk drive cable in backwards or "off by one pin"?
