Bought a (brand new) 5-port USB 2.0 PCI card for one of my PM G5. Card is equipped with a NEC0720101F1. Carddesign is capable for V3,3 and 5V and should also be able to run 33MHz as well as 64MHz. (see pics).

When card was removed, everything worked fine. One time PM boots to Morphos, but USB (even the internal ports!!) where dead.
After inspecting removed card I found this:

I've different USB cards running in PM (VIA and NEC), but never seen something like this.
Anybody know, what could be happened here?
