Re: DEAD CRIO!!!!!

first of all,
i had a similair problem last year,
the Power distribution board (PDB) showed that the cRio was receiving the 24v it requires with the led light, so it looked alright... but it still didnt power up the cRio.

solution: make sure your battery has more than 12v available... i believe mine was registering about 9.9v when the cRio didnt start up.

the PDB's led's are helpful, but not 100% accurate. change your battery to a freshly charged one,

make sure all connections are good! if a positive wire touches your cRio case, it will be dead for good
