Topic: Flashing green light... is my Press dead???

I am not new to 3d printing. I have been doing this now as a hobby for about 4 years. I bought a Press off ebay. This is my 3rd 3d printer in fact. Anyways, it has been several days since it has arrived, but I will be damned if I can get any of my computers to see it after plugging it into various usb ports. I have tried various software packages in addition to Soliprint, FTDI drivers, Windows update, etc. Not even a noise to indicate that it has connected.

And all I get is a flashing green light on top. Does anyone know whats going on? I am thinking the board is dead.

I'm getting the same thing.  I've gotten it to power on only by reconnecting the power cord.  Then when printing it moves super slow and paused for a few seconds between each command.
