I had similar experience several months ago when I bought from eBay a Snap 1000 with 30G drive but no transformer. The seller said he had no transformer to test it and therefore would not offer any warranty.
Upon reception I plugged in a 12V adapter from my other Sanp 1100 and nothing happened. I opened the Snap 1000 and found there wasn't any cable connecting to the hard drive!
On detail examination I found the hard drive was dead and the computer board had some components burnt. The seller had obviously put some dead components together and sell it as a good one.
Since I know some electronics I managed to find out a few problems on the computer board but I could not find the replacement components so effectively my Snap is still a dead one.
I joined this forum yesterday hoping to see if anyone has a dead Snap server for sell. Maybe I can then combine two dead ones into a working one. And as far as I know the 2000 uses the same circuit board as the 1000 so yours is one candidate. If you are interested please let me know.
Best regards/Paul.

Hello Paul
I have returned that 2200 to the person I got it from and got a refund.
It was indeed a dud.
Thanks for your creative solution.
Sincerely / Ed
