    Hiya , you say you changed the power board , first things first , have you checked the fuse in the power lead, if that's ok , make sure your connections from the new power board are fitted correctly , then check with a phase tester that power is reaching the main board and checking for anything that looks blown..if there is power running all the way , then you could try a jtag , this might work

    tried all that you what you said and it is still dead, never done a jtag before? if there no power on the box how would you be able to jtag it.

    I'd agree something may have blown.. so if you have checked everything tell us when you use the tester is there power in both boards.I think your only hope is that there is power reaching the main board and that a jtag will revive it..but it most likely something has blown on the main board , you could try replacing all the caps but try jtagging first.
