what do you guys say about dumpster diving?
Where I live the dump/recycling center has an area where people can leave things they don't want, but which someone else might find useful. Sometimes people leave old computer parts there. You might check to see if there's a dump like that near where you live.
There used to be a computer repair shop near us, but he moved from the intersection of Penna. Ave./Worton Blvd to - did a google, found these
Bob Radcliffe's Brite Lite Cpt 2328 Worton Blvd West Mifflin 15122 412) 469-2850
Midrange Plus Service Inc 3204 Lebanon Church Rd West Mifflin 15122 412) 469-0131
We Fix Computers West Mifflin 15122 412) 462-2800
in our town, have to call them up to inquire where they're are for dumpster diving?
EDIT - it looks like the above places are now defunct - have to go check out Data Center at 2627 Skyline Dr, but the yellow pgs say it's in Turtle Creek and that Internet entry must be out of date - so guess I'll have to call up each of these numbers I've listed to find out where they are (if still in business).

Congratulations on getting the computer working.
And congratulations to Inland on noticing the board had a separate 12V power connector.

What prompted Inland to notice this (would like to know so I can get real smart at troubleshooting computers)?

Basically just checking the same sort of things Jenny looked at when she pointed out that the front panel header wasn’t wired correctly.
