Might be also with this box. I pulled out the power supply and had dust from
about 5 years 24/365 usage on the floor :-) It seems to have had started to
make trouble a bit ago, and now it don't wants to run anymore.

I just got the info from someone else having exactly my problem, that he gave
this box away to have it repaired and they diagnosed a bad mainboard. So CPU
module might be ok. I also thought about mainboard as i saw the error the first
time. (Maybe the chip with those lots of lines to the MBus connector is not
correctly soldered. I'll try a bit more...)

so long.. Michael
