Hi there ;-)
I upgradet the HDD in my MK I to a 30 GB Fujitsu. All worked fine, exept Emplode did a rebuild an remount and quitted after receiving all, so i started over and over and.. i stopped things... got to bed...
After about 4 minutes i noticed a smell which was unusual....
After power off and examation i figured out a quraz in a metal case, laying on my pinnacle tv card... ugh.....

Removed the card, botted the Pc again... tryed to synchronise the empeg again.. nothing worked....

Both, the USB and the serial ports are defective on the ASUS MB...
After all... the MK I will do nothing, expet light up the front LED and the internal yellow LED, no HDD spin up, i even disconnected the internal HDD.. nothing at all. I could not see any burned electronic pice on the MB of the MK 1, nothing looks unusual... but i am scared to connect the device to my notebook over a serial connection to check out the boot message....

Any suggestions ????
