Dead cRIO??!!? HELP!!!

[naruto137]

So um, our cRIO just died while we were driving. And now when we turn on our robot, NONE of the status lights on the cRIO turn on. Moreover, to show that its not just the LED lights that are blown out, the Ethernet lights on the cRIO do not turn one when they are connected. The cRIO is definitely getting power (first of all the power distro board is green, then we used a multimeter and found that the cRIO out on the distro board is giving 24.5V and on the receiving end of the cRIO it is also getting 24.5V. We also rechecked the WAGO connection to the cRIO and that was good as well)


Ok I will just include some other of the other catastrophic events that happened to us that could somehow, possibly be related:

1) Eth2 on our driver station did not light up ( but finally figured out that we could use a hub to plug the Laptop and Router into eth1)

2) Driver station intermittently bluescreens

3) We reimaged the cRIO and our drivers station (yes we followed all the directions

4) Oh, and the Ethernet port on the back of our laptop stops working intermittently too.

5) So after fixing all of this we were able to deploy code (but when we tried to run as startup, it could not detect a connection to the cRIO)


So is our cRIO broken? If so, how is this even possible? (We have always treated our cRIO with nothing but gracious professionalism) Is there any way we can get another cRIO ASAP – the build season will be over soon!


PLEASE HELP!!!!!
