March 12, 200719 yr I received this advice from Apevia in the event anyone would be interested. This is a way for me to test if my PSU or MoBo got fried during a condesation problem."You can test to see if the psu is still functional by jumping pins 13/14 on the 20-pin ATX connector.You can duplicate the process using a bent paperclip rather than the toggle switch.http://www.gideontech.com/content/articles/196/1 Finding out if the motherboard has caused the problem is much trickier and we be better answered by the mobo manufacturer. Thanks GregApevia"

March 14, 200719 yr Good question. I dont know but the test idea should work for most/all PSU, would just need to contact the power supplier first and double check. I did the test and found it was my PSU so I've ordered a replacement one. Hopefully thats the only damage that was done and I'll be up and running before the SP1 patch.
