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.

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?
- 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.
