Based on our attempts to isolate the problem, it seems that at least two of the slots are defective. We thoroughly checked both and there don't seem to be any pins bent or foreign matter. Therefore, we think that the board within the cRIO is damaged. Like I said earlier, this cRIO had the misfortune of being underneath a flipped robot, and so it is likely that this caused initial, unnoticeable damage and that, over the course of the years, the damage has increased until the slots malfunctioned. Thanks for your suggestions though!
