Re: [HELP] Dead Mega STe

Looks like two different possibilities. 1 being one rail of the power
supply is damaged but not the other. Like the 5V rail but the 12V rail is
okay. Additionally, the power supplies in these things have 4 metal legs.
They sit in these grooves. If proper screws aren't in and even if they
are, the legs can pop out of these grooves. Since the psu section of your
case is... well.. smashed, it's completely reasonable to assume that the
leg popped out and is shorting all kinds of stuff.

Yes, that right, some legs (the left one) pop out - no screw at all.... But doesn't seems to make shorting. I didn't put a screw, as it's for groun dpurpose and the two others are in place. I will check that.

The main board is powered by +5V, I suppose. I will check the power unit, I've just found the pinout on the net.

Thanks.
