I disconnected all the power to the other boards, and just had power
to the KLM-376, powered on and it blew the fuses (both 250v 1a on the
board).   Obviously there is a short somewhere in that board?  The D1
diode lights up for a sec when it's powered on, then  dims out.  

Can't seem to find any shorts in there, any idears?  I have a few
photos here of the board, maybe there's something obvious to you guys
(other than the fuses not being in there, took em out)
