The pot (r11) was set at about the 11 o clock posotion, it turned to the 1 o clock posotion. I reinstalled all the cards and the drive cage, but but did not power on. For giggles, I also tried the 9 o clock and 6 o clock posotions, but they all had the same result... a whump from the speaker.

I put my ear to the back of the machine where the PSU is and listened. When the machine is 'off' there is a very faint hum. When I press the power button, there is a quick hiss sound (hsssssssst).

Just curios, what is the other pot on that riser card for?
