I was one of those who reported similar problem on the list autumn
2013. I bought my original board october 2011 (one of those with a
small black heatsink) and two years later it wouldn't boot anymore. It
ended with me returning the board and I got a new one (one with a
larger heatsink) without further problem. However I got no explanation
to the nature of the problem. As far as I can tell from this list
those who ran into the same problem seems to have had a board from
these early batches. They have all returned their board and got a new
one from Soekris, but no explanation given.
Do you have one of these early boards with the small heatsink? I think
maybe they must have had a problem with some of these batches. I don't
think I've seen any report on similar problems with any of the newer
boards (larger heatsink type) yet, does this hold true...?
