<< Desperately hoping for help here. I have a PM 7200/120. I bought what was descibed on eBay as a 7300 Motherboard. I finally have all of the parts, so I started putting it all in. Got the new board in, only to find that my 7200 Power supply has 2 pins less than my new motherboard, with a part number of 820-0858-8. The thing that is most confusing is that the power plug for the motherboard fits in the new motherboard, leaving the two pins closest to the front of the computer empty. According to LEM, the 7200 is easily upgraded to a 7300. Helllllp!!! >> Yep same thing happened to me. You will have to replace the power supply to get it to work. The 7200 has the same power supply as the 7500. 7300 actually came out after the 7500 but they went with a newer power supply for it. I got my power supply for $20 I think. They are on Ebay all the time. Does make your upgrading it a bit more expensive but the 7300 board is tons faster than the 7200 you will be glad you did.
