I haven't used my MD in quite a long time, today I connected it and it's telling me It's drawing too much power over the USB
I have the all in one board, and an Imac intel.

Any thoughts?

There is probably a short somewhere. Make sure the board is NOT powered on and measure the resistance between GND and VCC.
