LED's turn on, but power buttons do NOTHING!

[Wumpus]

well, at the end of a DICE session a couple days ago, my board decided to just stop working. i shrugged it off, and now I am trying the board again, but this time, it wont even turn on at all.

the red and blue LED's turn on, and the power and reset and force reset swithes get power, but pressing any of them does nothing.

also, the heatsink for the RAM VRM's gets hot, like there is power flowing to it.

if anyone could know whats up with this thing that woul be great as I have about 20lb of DICE sitting next to me and no working boards.

thanks

huh? odd... the pwm shouldnt get hot when the board is powered off...
sounds like theres something wrong with the pwm man...

remove the psu, hit the power button to discharge the board fully, then let it sit and rest for like an hour or so...
then put it all back together and give it another try... that did the trick for me a while ago when my board did the same thing (minus the pwm getting hot though i didnt check tbh)
i think what triggered it in my case was too high vtt without raising the IOH voltage
