my NAS died a couple of days ago with zero sign of life. no lights at all on the board, not even standby LEDs. it's going to my UPS, so I checked that I was seeing 230V at the cable, and I did. so I figured the PSU is dead, because the motherboard would need to be ultrafucked for it to show literally no signs of life.

ordered a new PSU. it arrives. swap it in, aaaaand... nothing. ugh. so is the board dead? maybe a hard short over +5VSB or something?

so I start digging further.
