    i ended up talking with opus and sent my power supply in for reprogramming. they said they need to change the firmware to work with my motherboard.

    i have an i-Base MB720F wtih VIA chipset

    for extra jumpers check the basement and rip them off of old useless cd roms or motherboards. always works

    Shelbrain:
    Go to an electronics shop or a mom & pop computer store. They'll sell you some jumpers for under a dollar, I'll betcha.
    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?



    Under normal circumstances, a signature would go here.

    I'd consider getting a motherboard that will, cause my opus works fine in standby. I use an MB896 and had the same issue, but after they reprogrammed it it works fine. Supposedly the IBase boards need more than 5sec from when standby voltage goes up to initiate. Their old firmware was too fast so it was pulsing before the motherboard was ready and therefore it would always start with a 2 blink error. Works fine now so I would monitor your standby voltage and the LED for 2 blink errors.
