Thanks ill try that. Its a dell and im not sure how the connections go. All I know is that their all labled with a 'p' then a # and only a few of the 9(i think) arnt used. They havent been touched for 8yrs.
Well if you haven't touched them, then I think this might be a static discharge, or power short issue. No way to tell unless it was sitting on my workshop bench, sorry.
