Anyone have an opinion as to if it would be advisable or not to bypass the regulator and apply a regulated 5VDC to pins 2 & 3 of the white connector to test the remainder of the board?

BTW: Our board was sitting on the anti-static envelope as well when we first powered it up. I have always done such and never knew that to be a problem. If that was the cause then I guess it was my fault. Never knew that to be a problem but I will never do it again, that's for sure. I have emailed Ben at Diversified Systems inquiring about obtaining a repair or replacement. I will post what I find out when I hear back from Ben.

Edit: Thanks Ben. It looks like you beat me to the post!
