Hello again, I've tested the outputs from the 7805's and have put the pictures up on my site again. However, the first thing I did when I was trying to get this board working was to replace all the 7805's and the 47uf capacitor at G10, so they are all new and should be working fine. Please look at the results on my page. I also tested D5 pin 14 (5v) on both machines. I also checked with a digital voltmeter the voltage on pin 14 and I get 5.08VDC I had previously tried the broken board in the working board chassis running off the working computers transformer, but tried it again just incase. The results are still the same.
