I'm at a loss here.
Magix processor in a legend clamshell. Plug it in, turn the power switch....and nothing. No lights on the processor, no lights on the power supply.
I've tried 2 different backplanes and 3 power supplies...same thing.
Even if it's a bad processor, shouldn't I at least get a power LED on the power supply?

Usually when this happens the Pin on the Back Plane under the connector the power unit plugs into is broken off.
It doesn't make sense that 2 backplanes would fail the same way, unless there is something wrong with the power unit causing those pins to break.
The pin I am talking about is about 3/16th of an inch wide and 1 and 1/8 inches long.
It closes a hidden micro switch within the power unit itself, thus allowing it to turn on.
RULE NUMBER 2, "THINKIN' WON'T GET IT, YOU GOTTA KNOW!" RULE NUMBER 3, if you need TIER-3 SUPPORT on a LEGEND or MAGIX, go to http://home.comcast.net/~merlinman -
