Is our cRIO toast?

[PayneTrain]

When we killed off all of our cRIOs for some unexplained reason, we had a mentor and his friend break them open and check out the problem. If you are running inefficient code, you can make your cRIO draw enough current to cut out a fuse inside of it (at least, this was our problem. Seeing as there are many intricate parts inside of every cRIO chassis, your mileage may vary). We had the problem fixed on both the hardware and software ends, and we put in a far more cost-effective in-line fuse to the cRIO that will kill the power before the juice gets to the cRIO.

I would say crack it open if the NI Troubleshooting still leaves you with a brick.
