does the "enermax" sticker have a little star on it ? It's probably 
just a sticker from a computer power supply some joker put on there. 
I have one on my Cell that came with the 485 watt PS I use for my 
music PC. 
Have you tried loading the factory sounds? When I got mine every 
preset sounded like gibberish, but I sussed the interface and 
figgered out that a lot of the presets were scrambled from having no 
battery. bn
