Steve and Ken will get you sorted eventually but since you posted to the list, my own thoughts... The only problem I have had with my REX units was upon initial install. It generally required ensuring correct orientation, making sure there was good contact with the pins of the OptROM socket, and sometimes doing a cold start. Sometimes just unplugging and plugging in a few times does the trick. I think these were contact issues. Also I recall a spacer being involved that keeps the board from going too low in the socket. Obviously the big difference between whatever Ken did to test and what you are doing is you don't have Ken's laptop :-) Also it's possible that the REX board has been damaged sometime after Ken tested it. This could happen because of electrostatic discharge or flex of the REX board while installing or removing. No idea the likelihood of those eventualities. -- John.
