So the mobo seems ok and the sonicweld is ok
Id direct my efforts into checking the usb card and regen
Use the laptop to check the regen with sonicweld
Take out usb card lay it flat clock facing up and add 3.3and gnd check for 1.6v on clock output
If both seems to be working maybe try them in your old zuma

Do you still have that additional ground going in at regen?
Was it a 3.3 or 5v short that killed your last mobo?
And Regen is OK, since sometimes works. Pearse might me right about a shorter usb cable, but I don't have one at the moment and this way, with previous mobo, worked without any problem anytime!
Now, the only thing that never worked was the usb card!
Yes, I still have that additional ground with my 5v line coming from Teradak. That is my next step to try without it.

I short the place where PPA clock was connected for 5v into mobo, so I assume that was only the 5v affected?!
ok so theres a good chance all 3.3 stuff survived
Are those the places in the usb card where I need to check for the 1.6v?
yes one is ground and the other is signal it should show up as 1.6 on dmm

use crocodile clip to ground the middle two pns on molex

I have only some 0.02v and the clock measurement.......if I did the right way?!
I know that I got almost 3.2v into the card (some lost due the bad aligators) and I tried those two mentioned points on the back of the card!

Is possible that the clock died even if wasn't powered from mobo?! The data shortened?!

They are more like flat holes than pins (the ones pointed with voltmeter). Those are the ones that I measured.

I hope that you can see something:
