Just got a defender the other day. It was in really good shape, very clean. Plugged it in and the original PSU showed that it was missing -5V. Well to test the boardset, I plugged in a PC power supply and it actually fired up and worked!
The next time I turned it on again with the PC power supply it gets stuck resetting itself and it's been that way since then. Game boots up, "UNIT OK", then it goes into the audit menu and automatically pages through all the options on it's own. After that it constantly blue-screens and resets forever.
I finally rebuilt the original PSU today and it works great, but I'm still getting the reset issue.
BTW, it has original rams on it, not the upgraded rams.
