I have not found much info to solve this problem. It does not help that I am
not overly confident in dealing with circuit diagrams etc. But what I have
found was a badly scanned copy of the circuit for the board but little else.
Lots about how to mod the board for circuit bending etc. but not much about
how to solve the problem of no power lighting up the device :(
