sounds like you blew something while you had the mobo out.... check for any leaky components on the board.

Did some searching, should have done that before I replied.  By leaky you mean one of the capcitors may have come loose or leaked?

Ok. ill check it out on lunch..  Another possibility, not sure if it even makes sense..

The Power supply I am trying to power it on with is mine from my 360, which is like 4 years old.. The system Im working on is an HDMI box so much newer...  Could it have popped the fuse maybe?

Not that that makes sense because my box is still working off the PSU, and I booted the HDMI when I first picked it up to pull the codes..



No because you most likely have a 203W power supply, and when you plug that into any other consoles that dont require the full 203W they will only take what they need out of that. For a falcon, it only needs 175W.
