Sorry for the late reply to this post. Still waiting to pop my cherry for this blog (2 post max per day)...
So I want to thank @Daddyphathax and @DataHead.
Daddyphathax - The power did seem to be an issue, but I figured that 5v @ 2a would be enough amps to power the unit (I assume that the pineapple is a 5v rail power, modulated through an on-board regulator which is why I assumes the unit could take a wide range of voltage inputs...) BUT... but the 5v@2a was not enough. (6_6) so I found a 12v @ 4a wall adapter, way more then enough to power the pineapple and maybe even a small usb hub... (idea) Thanks bro
DataHead - I have read a crap load about the SD card being crap (understandable to keep cost under control) so my Pi was nice enough to donate its high end SD card. (What a nice Pi)
The power technically fixed it, but the SD card was just wrapped into the same repair. I gave the "answered" point to Daddyphathax since he's a newbie and gave the first good answered.
Thank you both for the help.
