One more thing, our cRIO and D-link AP power converter are plugged into the 24v plug-in on the power board. I don't think we are pulling to much current through that connector, because we never had any problems through qualification and elimination rounds. We'll be checking all connections at St. Louis to see if we can find anything obvious. A short could be a very possible thing after we got hit during the round.
Emphasis mine.

Wait a minute...Might just be a typo, but the CRio should be in the dedicated 24v port, and the 5v converted for the D-Link should be in the dedicated 12v port next to the one for the CRio.
