I am 99.9% sure that they are all the same. One of a normal BA should be fine for you to test. Edited 28/07/09 12:56 AM by XtRmn8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like vixen said borrow one from a BA that is running fine and see if that fixes your problem first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
