Mmm, if too high a voltage or to high an ampage was allowed to be drawn by the front USB sockets then unless there was a cable short to 5V or 12V it must have come through the USB PCI card. As the rear ports are working I'd be surprised if it was the PSU. I suggest check the cable from the front sockets to the PCI USB card. n.b. if it turns out to be the USB PCI card only a small number of cards are supported by the OS, after a lot of time and money spent on incompatible cards we now have some in stock.[1] [1] They have three rear sockets and are therfore to tall for the X100 case. > My guess is that this could either be due to a faulty controller, or a > disc drive not responding to the controller.
