I RMA-ed it using the Beagle Board website. Took about 20 days, round trip, to get the board back. I doubt even if I had the skills to replace circuit chips, I'd would have been able to find it....I have no idea how they diagnose issues for their boards.
But you may have another issue. As mine eventually stopped booting back up after the randomly rebooting for several days. Might be harder for them to find the issue. As they told me to leave the board in a "failed state" and ship it to them. But if your's is rebooting, then it will never be in a 'failed state'.
