subject: CMD Ramdrive Woes - HELP!

A friend of mine aquired a secondhand ramdrive, didn't read the manual when
trying to get it going, pulled it out of its cover and finally gave it to
me to see what I could do with it. 

Following the manual, I got it up and going, organised it for geos and
filled it up, and then gave it back to him.

It seems that in his reassembly of it back into it's case, he has broken
off one end of one of the jumper wires on the top of the board, the one
from the left hand side of the swap switch (SW3). Also, (and maybe because
of this) non of the indicator leds light up at any time and all I get is a
blank screen when connected, either enabled or disabled. I have also noted
that the 9v plug connection is able to short itself out due to bare wires
if twisted the right way. The little internal indicator leds 6, 7 & 8
are lit and at least 7 & 8 will go off when the keyboard is switched
on.

Can anyone tell me where the jumper should be connected, any other possible
problems and what possible price to have it repaired?

Regards   Weyrleader

ps  He really doesn't deserve to have it and I would happily have traded my
left nut to have been able to keep it. Ah well - such is life I suppose. W.
