        Mmm, almost certainly a hardware failure then unfortunately. The only thing that can be done there is to replace the board. That's not economically viable. 😞

          most probably a victim of this:

          https://www.netgate.com/blog/clock-signal-component-issue

          strange they did not publish the workaround which can be done for existing device - exchange program is over for long time already so I guess this is thrash thing now ...

            There is no software workaround for that, it's a hardware issue. For SG-2220 there is no hardware fix for it either. Only replacing the board entirely.

                Not on the SG-2220. You may have seen hardware 'fixes' for other devices but the required lines are not exposed anywhere that can be used on the 2220. Or the 2440/4860/8860 for reference.

                I mean I imagine you could replace the SoC but the required component skills and equipment for that are beyond mine!

                    The System-on-Chip is the main part of the device. The largest chip under the heatsink.

                      If the SoC is defect let us imagine, you now thinking it can be replaced by
                      another SoC that is not faulty, right? But if they are all "faulty" I mean
                      the whole series of them, what you want to resolder then on the board?

                      Finding peoples or companies that are professionals in SMD soldering
                      with a hot air canon or a solder bar may be not the real problem, but
                      getting hands on a SoC (chip) that is not touched by this problem
                      is the most important thing here. I mean you desolder an Intel Atom® Prozessor C2338 (Rangely) that is defective and you can´t resolder one
                      if the entire series is touched by this problem!

                      Intel Atom CPU C2338 (former Rangely)

                        you are right gents, if there is no simple workaround, the rest is economically viable - thanks for your time, I'll trash it :/
