Thanks for the response Brian. Well, the fuse is definitely blown, which is disheartening at this hour...but alas, I'm going to go get more fuses right now, and I'll report back soon. Hopefully its something simple, although I'm doubting it is for some reason. Anybody have a neotek tech in NYC, in case I need to make that call?
