Hi all. We've had a couple of ROACH failures with identical causes. Maybe some of you have seen this, but it's worth keeping in mind in case you have a problem.
The symptom is that the ROACH would sort of power on, but then turn off spontaneously. On one, as soon as the bof was loaded the roach would turn off. The other one would come on for a brief few seconds and then turn or, or it would cycle on and off. The monitor readout in dmesg gave non-sense readings. In any event, the cause was traced to the +1 volt supply MOSFET switch. Replacing that mosfet fixed both roaches. Kudos to Jason Ray for finding the problem originally. John
