Re: [slim] Dead Transporter
Interesting, just happened to me too. After sending in a fault report to support, I browsed here under 'dead transporter' (of course, I should have done that first). I had the thing apart, checked voltages as I had a power supply failure a couple of years ago. Never though the fix would have been as simple! I wonder if the glitch was something to do with the latest download rather than a power supply spike? I think it happened to me running 7.0.1 - 17981.

This is the kind of thing that could make non-technical users who haven't found the way to this forum very unhappy. For them the machine just died...

Re: [slim] Dead Transporter
The TP and recent SBs have a programmable logic array without which the device is pretty useless. Being programmable is great because it means that you can get the benefit of "hardware" upgrades as easily as upgrading firmware. The downside, which you've just experienced, is that nasty power glitches can get through and upset the chip. Fortunately, as you've found, there's a fix - just reprogram it!
