Interesting and thanks for the picture. Does anyone know if it's possible that replace the passive cooling before the board breaks down? At least after running now a day, I can compare to the old passive cooler. The new one is better, my net6501 is running about 5-6 degree cooler. I've also

Hopefully RMA'd boards will help Soekris folks analyse what's gone wrong with the hardware and whether it can be worked around via BIOS update. Since the devices don't show any warning symptoms (are running normally) and the boot failures for some at least are initially intermittent, there's
