Need falcon f16v3 help asap please

The F16 looks completely dead. I 2nd what 'Dreamin' suggests, if you have a 5 volt supply available, configure the F16 for External Power and 5 Volts followed by applying power. With the Power LED not On it seems that nothing is getting through the regulator board.

Difficult to determine in your photos but insure (as mentioned) nothing is under the f16 shorting out the backside.

The board is sitting above the psu's a half inch. Nothong touching unfer it. I dont have a 5v as my entire display is all 12v.

Ok here is backside of board, and the top of board with all wires disconnected. As you can see on back of board, it is on lexan. Along with spacers holding it off of theblexan. Again ALL power inputs on the board is showing 12v and the power switch is set to 12v not ext

So it would appear that my board is dead

I would unplug all the cables from the board other than a single power cable, then set the switches to 5v and power it up at 5v. If it doesn't power on like this then its a dead board.

I do not have a 5v psu, everything i went with are 12v. The only cables attached to board are the power on v1 and v2. I did pull the fuse by v2 and checked there and it also gets 12v

THANK YOU everyone for the suggestions. I just spoke with David. He is sending a replacement board. Somehow my board shorted. The resister on the right of the board was extremely hot
