Technically they would prefer that this type of post is in the Technical and Restoration Society (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=24)

However I see this allot. Use a voltage meter and verify that the power coming off the power block is exactly what its suposed to be.

Go check out this thread for details on how to do that.

Hope that helps!

Keep in mind I don't really know what I'm talking about, but I swear I've tried hooking up my mod 2 cd with mod 1 power cords and the thing didn't work, but it did with the mod 2 cord. (This happened the last time I had it hooked up, which was about a year ago, so I don't remember clearly). Anyway, maybe getting the right power cord would help?
