Mark,

Will do. I am at work now and left the empeg at home, still open (yes, it was a sad commute).

Now, some more info, since I could not be more detailed earlier as I was rushing out. This morning I had ten minutes to open the empeg. I didn't really look at anything, but I noticed that the IDE cable had lost its plastic skin in two points, scratching agaist the display board. Wires are visible, unfortunately, but they seem still protected enough not to create any problem, yet. However, do you think that they may have shortcuted something on the display board?

I am going to be back late tonight, due to Tori Amos concert here in Rome (:D at least, somthing is good today!), and will try to get to the command prompt and replace the ide cable, just to be on the safe side. I will also put some protection to it. I should've done that before.

Again, thank you very much for you help, as usual.
