Hi Conrad, I did manage to get to uManager - that was sort of a baud issue - I'd up'ed my baud rate to 115200 many moons ago and had forgotten about that .. tried a number of times and finally came up with the correct incantation of power-cycle and key presses. Used uManager to upload the newest bios into flash, which it did. Browsed through flash and contents seemed reasonable. Then used that bios uploaded into flash to update the uManager itself, which incidentally also worked. So I guess that means that flash is okay, as is the uManager. Can't say the same for the bios or the board, though. Still same booting problems. Apparently the hardware turns on the RED led and the bios turns it off once it's ready launch the OS. I'm guessing something in the bios's board bring up sequence is getting stuck - maybe it resets a device and then polls a register forever or somesuch. - just a wild guess. Since there's no sign of any kind of messages on the console I'm guessing it's getting stuck (presumably waiting for unresponsive hardware) almost straightaway. Let me know how your RMA goes - no sense in both of us paying for shipping if it's a lost cause. :) In the meantime I wouldn't suggest anyone with a production system net6501 reboot it without having a ready spare. :) --Andrew On 2015-01-09 2:39 PM, Conrad Kostecki wrote: >> I’ve visually inspected the board and the caps all look good. >> In fact the board, living as it has in a soekris case looks brand new. > Apparently my net6501 also died today.
