Hi - What OS version are you using? I installed a PBS-TRI in mine and it took a couple of restarts before all was well but now it's all good. The PBS-TRI is am awesome upgrade and well worth the effort to get working!

Hello akis, sad to hear about your trouble. Where did you get your PBS from, if I may ask?

So your Trinity is a V3 version with the MOSS-TRI installed right? If not, you should be running version 2 firmware. Could this be your problem?

Have you checked the ribbon connectors and chips to make sure they're seated properly? Sounds to me like the Trinity isn't detecting the PBS board at all.

I've already heard about problems with PBS purchased from ebay. Who was the seller?

I think you should avoid, it is of dubious quality. Maybe you can try to send it back and get a replacement from the seller...

Yes, I had the same problem as with someone else on the forum. I purchased mine back in December and sent it back (presumably as yours, overseas) and after a month (probably due to customs) he rec'd it and then mailed me another one. The second one did work as you can see in my other thread concerning which wires to soder I have pics of my DI-TRI which I ordered through the same seller and it worked fine. The pics show PBS, DI both working
