OK, figured out the PS is bad. Getting a replacement.
I'm worried that putting my data disks back into the unit will corrupt them as the CMOS battery was pulled during the debug process so I lost the CMOS settings.

Is there a procedure for recovering the data from my disks after losing the CMOS settings?
