I'm now convinced the power supply is the weakest link in the MDD. I peaked at having 5 working systems. 1 bought new, the rest on eBay. The bought-new was the first to die, and recently, another. Both fails are pretty certain the PS. An intermittent problem is tougher to diagnose, but I've not seen PRAM battery lead to this symptom.
