They re-flashed the board and returned it to me, the whole process took a little over a week. It appeared to work fine, initially, then died again about a week later and would not boot.

On 12/2/2015, I received an e-mail from CircuitCo, stating they had received my board and that they would begin diagnostics and keep me posted. As of Friday, 12/11/2015, I had not heard from them so, I sent an e-mail requesting a status update. I received a response the same day, they apologized and said their RMA dept. was backlogged and I would receive an update on Monday 12/14/2015. I never received the update and that was the last time I’ve heard from CircuitCo . I sent e-mails to CircuitCo on 12/26/2015 and again 1/5/2015, no response. I’ve called CircuitCo twice, the first time was three days ago and the second was today.
