cRio problems.

Right, so it's late in the evening on our final build day and ugh. The cRio is acting up.

Upon powering up the robot, the power and status lights come on, and then the status light goes out. All normal, but then the power light goes out and the cRio is dead. Turn the robot off and on, the same thing happens again. Oh, low battery, right? I swap in a new battery, still the same problem. Maybe a software problem, I think. Boot in to safe mode, all is well. The cRio remains on. Right, so let me reformat. I begin reformatting, and after a bit the cRio just shuts off. Ahhhhhhhh!!! Now when I power up the cRio, the status light just sort of blinks and then it shuts off.

Any ideas, or should we just cut our losses and send it in for repair ASAP?

Thank you in advance for helping our rookie team.
