Wiztronics just got with me, I’ll be sending in my board once they get me a RMA.
By the way, Wiztronics do sell boards when they have them in stock.
Great to hear you found someone who is able to fix your Falcon!

Thanks, it goes out Saturday. They have a backlog so they won’t actually look at it until July 25th…

In the ide, one of the data lines was bad. They replaced a single resister to fix it. On the 5 volt rail. Nothing was wrong with the motherboard. It was the PSU..

I could have sworn you said the 5v lines on the motherboard were shorted to ground. I guess you were just not using the multimeter properly?

I was getting no volts on the 5 volt rail, but it was because of the PSU.

Both of them? In your initial post you mention trying both PSUs, the old and new:

Ok, this was totally my fault. I was looking at the existing power supply before installing the Exxos power supply. I accidentally shorted the power supply with my hand. Got a small shock. Now the Falcon won’t power up. With the new power supply in, all that powers is the fan.
