If it's any consolation, the upgrade may not have been at fault - those old
power supplies die sooner or later.  Yours actually went much later!  Mine
went after 2 years, before I went to 2 Meg or even to the new ROMS.

At any rate, I got a new one for less than $150 from the dealer where I
bought the Mac.  I haven't heard about reconditioned boards, but that kind
of thing would make me very nervous.  Since the price for a new one isn't
unreasonable, perhaps you ought to go with it ...
