      Hmm, well if you can reach a prompt and get network connectivity you could try uploading an image and writing it to the eMMC. Otherwise I thing writing the SSD in something else might be the only option.

        wow so I am real chuffed!

        bought a ryzen mini pc and replace the original nvme with the stick from the 6100. booted off the usb. initially the system will boot until a point where it will just halt. it didn't recognised the 2 realtek nics. plugged in a usb network port and the whole thing then booted up correctly and i managed to reinstall the image.

        reinstalled the stick back into the 6100 and connected to the console via putty and micro-usb and reconfigured the WAN/LAN and managed to get into the web interface. took about 1.5 hours of figuring out the various dead-ends.IMG_2550.jpeg IMG_2549.jpeg IMG_2541.jpeg IMG_2538.jpeg IMG_2536.jpeg IMG_2530.jpeg IMG_2529.jpeg

          Nice! So it really is just the USB port/bus that failed.

            well yes that. Plus ultimately the upgrade from 23.09 to 24.xx killed the OS which bricked the device.
