[MinnowBoard] problem getting Minnowboard Max to start

[Nathan Becker]

Hi,

Does anyone have any other hints regarding power? I tried a 15 W power
supply and had the same behavior as previously reported: the power LED
lights and the second LED lights for a second or two and then turns off.
Nothing appears on the display. Power LED remains on.

thanks,
Nathan
