(I know 2 of them > should light when everything's oké. Is this with the case empty, i.e. no modules in it? If so, since it's a new case, time to contact your local distributor! If you _have_ put some modules in: are they all connected the right way round, i.e. the red stripe on the ribbon at the bottom?; have any of the connectors been forced on one pin too high or low?; are there any bent/damaged pins on unused connectors shorting out?; are the modules known to work in another case? > Now, I know there's something > else not right! > This the second case this happends > with! What was the problem with the first one? Many, many possibilities, but unless it is a clearly obvious physical problem (like the above), my advice: call your distributor! Tim
