Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM2434
Hello,
So some of TMDSAM243-boards are not powering on anymore.
I did seem to break mine yesterday, while the first two leds are always on. But as soon as I turned the switch, all leds went green and a second later only the two previous leds stayed on. I can trigger the switch but nothing changes. Seems my board is dead. This also happened to some other developers of us. We followed the manual with connecting everything one by one but still sometimes the board just stops working.
We have like 4 broken EVM boards now. How can we stop the EVM boards from breaking? I noticed yesterday I just hadn't the power connector completely plugged in but I cannot imagine how this could break the board. Also since the boards are not that cheap: is there a way to diagnose and repair them? We wanted to use the boards in our first test environments but since they are that unreliable it's not usefull for that purpose. Is there also a warranty? Since we did everything like described in the manual...
Best regards
Felix
