Apr 21 08:43:44 <wrd> hey guys. I have a sheeva plug that suddenly stopped working. the SD-card (no badblocks and fschecked) seems to be okay. we tried to connect the JTAG via usb and it didn't register a USB device. we also connected the serial console of the plug directly and it doesn't log anything to the serial (could be a config issue). Do you have experience how to fix that or possible pointers where to look at? PS: the RJ45 leds are blinking.
Apr 21 08:44:28 <wrd> ah and before I forget -> the usb cable is working we tested the same cable on a pandaboard.
Apr 21 09:02:03 <kerio> wrd: borked PSU perhaps?
Apr 21 09:02:18 <kerio> when mine broke, the RJ45 leds were still though
Apr 21 09:02:23 <kerio> Tootoot222: *poke*
Apr 21 13:36:34 <ShadowJK> yeah I'd recommend looking at the PSU too, as they are known to fail
Apr 21 13:36:53 <ShadowJK> I've got mine running on external psu now
Apr 21 14:15:23 <kerio> ShadowJK: do you have the psu cable coming out of the sheeva then?
Apr 21 14:15:33 <kerio> or do you use the figure-8 connector?
Apr 21 14:16:08 <ShadowJK> i've got a cable coming out of arduino where the figure-8 used to be
Apr 21 14:18:11 <kerio> ugly :(
Apr 21 14:21:57 <PhotoJim> my SheevaPlug used to be fairly unreliable... it'd crash after a few weeks.  then one day it just outright failed.  I got a new PSU and it's been rock solid since.
Apr 21 14:22:08 <PhotoJim> 08:22:01 up 141 days, 11:35,  1 user,  load average: 0.05, 0.05, 0.01
Apr 21 16:18:07 <wrd> kerio: thank you very much. I'm not close to the plug right now, but I found many tutorials on how to fix that! I'll try on monday again :-)
Apr 21 16:18:23 <kerio> wrd: note that it might not be the problem
Apr 21 16:18:30 <kerio> anyway, open it
Apr 21 16:18:40 <kerio> you'll smell the problem if it's the PSU
Apr 21 16:18:56 <wrd> kerio: well it should be easy to figure it out by using a lab dc power supply and look if it boots.
Apr 21 16:19:13 <kerio> well, ofc
Apr 21 16:19:18 <Tootoot222> i would just stick a battery tester into the power supply =p
Apr 21 16:19:35 <kerio> Tootoot222: and build a jury-rigged heatsink!
Apr 21 16:19:38 <Tootoot222> don't want to accidentally put the other supply on the wrong voltage and fry your board
Apr 21 16:20:34 <wrd> I have acess to proper lab equip so it shouldn't b a problem to verify.
Apr 21 16:24:53 <wrd> I think wrong power polarity shouldn't be a problem as long as I don't put more than 5V anyway.
