How dead is it ? by that I mean is there no glimmer of life at all ? do you get anything at all on the display ? or is it completely lifeless ? if its completely lifeless it might well be the power supply gone down because it does happen,you can get them on Ebay quite reasonably priced if you want to give it a try http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=e...+supply&_rdc=1

I had a similar problem a few months ago with a max v and chose to spend ?13 on a powersupply from ebay - but watch you don't get one from a batch that needs forcing in the wrong way on the board - it worked for me but the powersupply has a tendancy to work loose. I think its a common thing for the Powersupply to die on the max v's.
