We had one at work that went down in August/September (bought May/June). Didn't bother with support for it, simply replaced it with another one (different brand though)...
Surely a lot of companies/people that does exactly the same?
Nevermind, I brought it home som time ago, picked it apart tonight and removed the internal mini-pci. It started! :) Reflashed it with the latest firmware. So, the problem seems to be with the hardware of the mini-pci? I'll try to check the pins later when time is given. As soon as you plug the mini-pci in, the lan light goes out, seems allmost like a short circuit?
Anyone else who has opened theirs and allready measured the pins??

BTW: It does work nicely in my bookshelf! If you fill it with lead it will even hold "Foundations of Computer Science" (another brick) in place! :D
