So, I think my net5501 may have died this afternoon when it was accidentally yanked from a shelf ... not normally a problem, however as I was building a new system based on this board, the case was off and the hard drive was floating free and they all ended up in the drawer together whilst it was powered ...
I suspect in the confusion the HDD might have contacted something vital as now it doesn't appear to light up at all, although I can hear the HDD spin up, so _something_ might be recoverable ... what are my chances? Also, I seem to recall somewhere that Soekris were willing to re-test boards if they were faulty however I can't find this information on their website to know whether this is true and what rates are offered - does anyone know? Failing that, I have a working net5501 Soekris box, 2500mA 12V power supply and 2.5" SATA HDD mounting bracket. Rather than buy a replacement net5501 board, it would be nice if the net6501 could just drop in - is this the case? If not, which bits would I need to buy again?
