I tried booting from an SD Card and got nothing. I tried a different power supply, and it won't boot.
Really not happy with the BBB as I've only used it a handful of times. It died after I pressed the Reboot button, which I now know can cause it issues. I think I'll buy the RPi2 and not mess around with BeagleBone anymore.
