symptoms sound a lot like those I had when the PS in my U1 died a few years
ago.

i would imagine if the problem was a short on the MB that the fuse in the PS
would
have been tripped.

U2 chassis are so cheap these days you could probably buy one from eBay for
less
than a new PS and scavenge the PS.

just me ten cents worth
