Ed,
Very sorry to hear your news. That is a blood pressure pusher for sure. In your first post you stated "my power supply is gone..." Any chance that was not the correct diagnosis of the problem? You wasted no money or time re-maning the PS, but it is possible that the drive or software (both of which can be bonked by goofy power) was an issue from the git go? If Dan is right, you should not be too far away from a solution hopefully. Key question as to Ft. Worth would be do they bench test the power supplies after re-maining (hopefully yes.)

Dan may be correct but at this point the MS300 is going back in the box and put away. This is the 5th time this multi $1000 player has died on me . I am a bit fed up with it at this point

Your sentiments are certainly understandable, but they saddened me a bit, got me thinking: I have a working Maxtor drive with the operating system software and some nice music files loaded on it (removed in September when I moved up to the Seagate 750). You are welcome to borrow it for a long as you need to help troubleshoot what is going on with your unit. Just PM your address and it will UPS tomorrow, to you by Wed, worst case Thursday.

I received the HD from Steve which was a known good HD. I installed the HD with great anticipation . Well the lights blinked and the HD spun and there it sat NOTHING.
I would like to thank Steve for letting try his HD. It was really very nice of him. But as life wouldl have it, there is more to the problem than the power supply and HD. For now, just going to box up my old friend (the MS300) and wait.
It is a sad day here in up state NY

At this point all I can do is keep throwing parts and tech labor at it. That would become very expensive.
