Re: CompactRIO not powering up?

Chris,
Has NI received any Crio back with metal shavings in it that caused damage? Can you post pictures or start a thread so we can hammer this point home? Metal shavings, metal flakes and metal dust from any source can be a hazard to all of the electronic components. I had a team many years ago who mounted their speed controllers next to an open frame transmission. As the gears wore themselves in, the metal flaking off, landed right in the speed controllers. One after another died from this "metal fatigue".
