Re: XL7 dead?

Just wanted to thank Bruno for this tidbit. My MP7 was hanging at startup ('...' on the screen, all LEDs on and acting almost like it kept losing power once every second). Just opened it up, checked out R7 in the PSU and didn't see any leaking or bulging, so I reseated my 2 roms, and that seems to have solved the problem!

Cheers Bruno!
