      I have a SG-2440 bricked from 2.4.4 update. At startup, nothing shows on the terminal.
      I've tried the reset button dance a number of times, but still nothing on the terminal (not even BCD starting up) - but that relies on a startup routine, doesn't it?
      With another box, I'd just remove the SSD, format it, then reinstall pfSense, but on this motherboard everything's waved in place
      Is there a way to hardware-reset the motherboard? There's a button battery in a holder and some pins with jumpers. Remove battery and jump some 'reset' pins or contact pads?
      Anyone know?
      Not super pressing now, as I've replaced this box with a Qotom i3 pfSense box.

        If the red leds stay on for more than a minute after you power the box on, I don't know of anything to do except contact support.

            Even though we didn't purchase a support agreement? Box is about a year old...
