Oh boy.. I see this more and more.. people messing with a working machine and then zappo..

fingers crossed its just the PS.

Sadly,in 20+ years of messing with amiga's i have seen this many times,its a sad thing.
I always plug in some power Y cables to extend power to keep stuff away from the machine. I have heard of one guy who dropped his drives into a 4060 accelerator and killed it.. ouch!

see if the fan spins up on the psu, if not the problem is in the psu likely.. you could also check with a multimeter. Hopefully it just killed the fuse.

good luck!

p.s. its possible to fit a microatx board in the 3000 case, but its gotten hard to find them with -5v,since it was deleted from the atx standard.

wow first check http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-2-Micro-ATX-250W-Power-Supply-P4-12V-/271701314452?pt=PCA_UPS&hash=item3f42a90b94
2 of them,supposedly new, check for sure, but magnifying the label i see -5v listed.
You might double check the model on the athena site to make sure measurements are actually the microatx.
 just FYI athena brand stuff is kinda hit and miss, ive had dead ones out of the box and ones that seem to run forever.
