I already tested the serial/power cable on Friday and it was good. I thought I would check onboard voltages before dismanteling again. When I fixed the coax connector lead, I had removed the RF board from the case and I looked over the whole thing under my 15x magnifying lighted lens. I didn't see anything obvious except for what I sent photos of to you.
I did not get around to finishing off the A-I-O due to other commitments so I also have not had a chance to power it up before this. I cannot say it was DOA from when it was first shipped.
