After all these tests didn't tell me anything, I took the cRio out of the robot and made an incredibly simple circuit by connecting power to the Power Distribution Board and connecting the 24V out into the cRio. I turned it on and nothing happened. I changed out the connectors to see if they were the problem and tried again. Nothing.

This is my last attempt at finding a solution until I reccomend to my coach that we either send the cRio out to be fixed or to just by a whole new cRio.

Please Help Me!

Thanks,
Morton

We had the same problem.
Know this:
National Instruments will fix your cRIO for free if you do an RMA. They will return it within two weeks of receiving it.
Your issue is probably dust or a blown fuse, but if you're uncertain, you can ship it down and they will fix it for you.

It's unfortunate this happened right before build season.
