Ok thought I would update this thread.
Looks like power supply and main board had taken a surge when a storm had rolled through. I found a small spark emitting on the mainboard just above the trace near r201.
Begin Rant about XYZ here.
I reached out to XYZ to see about PURCHASING, for my non warranty repair. They wanted me to send in my board FIRST before they would send out a new board. Talk about very irritating, as I wanted to keep my board for the stepper modules.
I went round and round with Xyz about this and finally just decided the could flip off.
End Rant
I fortunately came accross an add locally where a guy had 2 1.0a's he was selling. One was missing a print head, the other...well a few other parts. He wanted $100.00 for the pair. I went and took a look and bought them.
Repairing my original davinci 1.0:
Now comes the fun part. Put in the power supply from the machine missing multiple parts, good power from the power supply. Now I have a davinci 1.0A mainboard, got it put into place...came across my 2 minor hurdles. 1) the original Davinci 1.0's are minus one wire going from the mainboard to the extruder PCB. on the Extruder PCB end it connects but skips the one pin basically. No problem grabbed the wiring from the parts machine, mark that hurdle jumped. 2) 12v connector going to the old mainboard is much smaller than the connector going to the board from the 1.0a. Luckily I was able to pull part fo the 12v wiring from the parts machine, as the previous owner had cut the wiring at the extruder end, but left the mainboard connector intact. Tested my connections with my multimeter, everthing looks good. Quick note here, the guy said he had flashed the mainboard to repetier.....this was true, fired the printer up..could move the extruder around...bed would move...but...extruder wouldn't heat. r271 was good, not blown. On a lark I reflashed it with what I know would the correct bin for a 1.0a, and bingo...working printer again.
Fine tuned my bed level and ran some test prints... good to go. still have some work to get it back to where it was..but I am getting good quality prints, so at the moment I am happy.
Turn to the printer missing the print head. I have my original print head from my davinci 1.0 I also had the original wiring, as I had replaced the printhead in my 1st printer with a new model print head. I decided to splice in the connector for the old style extruder, so that if I decided to swap it out for the newer style later, all I would have to do is plug it in. Power it up, flashed it, copied the settings over from the other printer. Bam I am getting good prints out of the second 1.0a.
First print...hole plugs for the bottom of the printer. 
So for cheaper than the cost of a mainboard from xyz....I was able to get my original printer back up and going and get a second printer running. Plus I still have a spare glass bed, 4 stepper motors etc. (Project parts?)
Thanks to everyone who offered help on my issue. I am glad to be printing again.
