Re: net6501 error led / no console / doesn't boot

The same happened with two net6501 here. The first one died after pfsense update. The update rebooted the box automatically and it got stuck with rapid flashing interface lights and constant red error light. I kept the thing off for more than a week until I tried again but nothing changed.
Just yesterday I moved the other still working one to another place, plugged in power again and the same symptoms, rapid interface lights and red error light on. Also no serial console output on any of them, not even BIOS.

Can that be caused by the power plugs or something? I also opened both and they look normally clean inside, no damaged caps, no burnings, no smelling. I am now using TP-Link with OpenWRT but I miss my soekris pfsense and would like to get the installations back running. Can I check if this is a hardware problem? Any ideas anyone?

 Apparently my net6501 also died today. I wanted
 it to reboot due a software update too.
 No
 its dead. uManager with +++ isn't working and Error LED
 does not go off.
 
 My caps
 and the board itself are all looking good.
 
 So, maybe this is a faulty
 batch? My net6501 was also about 04/2012 purchased.
 I will try to RMA this at Soekris.
