If you're up for an attempt at fixing it yourself, there's a quick write-up here: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-fix-sheevaplug-powersupply/#step1 Otherwise, if you're looking for a raspberry pi, Active Electronics sells them locally, (located at Century and St. Matthews) and Allied Electronics (http://alliedelec.com) sells them online. They're $50 local, and $35 online plus shipping. On Tue, Jan 29, 2013 at 8:47 PM, Kevin McGregor <kevin.a.mcgregor@gmail.com>wrote:
The "Awwwwwww" part: I think my SheevaPlug is dead. It stopped responding to SSH (or, well, ping), and when I tried connecting via the funky USB/serial port, my PC doesn't even detect that the SheevaPlug is plugged in, let alone attempt a connection via PuTTY. Note: the power light comes on steady, as do both the green and amber lights on the Ethernet port.
So, what are my options? 1. Maybe it's the power supply. These ones are known for going bad. Anyone want to try to fix it? Hey -- that would be a cool presentation: Fix a SheevaPlug PS in real-time and see if we can get the thing to boot! Okay, maybe not. 2. Buy another SheevaPlug? Too expensive for my budget. 3. Buy a Raspberry Pi? Can you get them locally? Or order them online from a reputable Canadian supplier?
Discuss.
