Can you forward a copy of the e-mail you sent to the RMA team and
when you
sent it?
I used the RMA form on the website.

There is no BIOS, only ROM that you can't touch. I boots directly off of the
uSD card.
After reading the support website I suspect that might be the case but was hoping it
wasn't.

Without *physical* damage, as long as the SD card is written
properly, it'll
boot. Are you sure you decompressed the SD card image you were writing? I
suspect you likely had some issue writing the SD card.
The board went from working and booting (Angstrom) on my desk to failing and not booting
on my desk. So I don't suspect any physical damage. I followed the websites
instructions on re-imaging the card. All I get in the terminal is the 'C'
characters showing up. Pressing the reset button provides more 'C's. So it went
from fully working to not booting without physically moving on my desk.
