Bad Stim?

Bad Stim?
Ok so I got my MSI v3 and stim a couple of weeks ago and am just finally getting the time to try to set it up. I already did the CAS mod, and then was using the stim to give it power to update the firmware to Squirt'n'Spark Extra. I used the dowload-firmware.bet and when I turned off the power to the board, jumpered the boot, and then plugged thr battery back in and now nothing works. The stim doesn't light up and the board isn't getting power.
Any ides what i did or what went wrong?
Thanks!

Be careful with those power supplies. I have at least half a dozen of those that work well with the product supplied but don't work at all with other devices. Check the power supply with a voltmeter and an oscilloscope. Just yesterday, I was hunting down a "problem" in a newly bought Innovate device because the power supply was outputing 14V (instead of 12V) and the output waveform was like a hacksaw.
