Are you connected to your network by LAN? Try unplugging your LAN cable and see if it boots up.
Hi gr5,
Thanks for your reply. I burned the img file, you provided, into a 32GB µSD card. Then opened the bottom of the cover of OLIMEX board and inserted the µSD card, then turned ON the system. Nothing happened, just as before no lights, no LCD, only fan at the start. What does this means, should I look further into opening the OLIMEX board and debugging the issue. Or this means some hardware is damaged in the board and I have to buy a new one?
@twlum I did try taking taking out the LAN cable and starting it, no luck.
Edited by BirBikramDoes anyone have bought an Olimex board from either fbrc8.com or shop3duniverse.com ?
If I have to change the motherboard might as well start sourcing it.
Thanks
Hi @BirBikram,
fbrc8 is the official Ultimaker distributor for USA, so it should be your first choice if you're from USA. And @fbrc8-erin is very active and helpful in this forum.

@Enigma_M4 Thanks for letting me know.
Still not sure if my situation requires me to change the board, if it is then I will buy this board.
Can anyone confirm that this is the only option I have?
Thanks

Rather than pay $500 you could just get a new main board. Which is a similar price I think. Anyway...
Did you update to firmware 7.X? There seems to be an issue with that. If not then it's probably the "hard drive" on the S3 (actually it's flash memory built into the linux computer). Usually you get a few bad blocks but the flash should know to use a new location next time so you can just do the "unbricking" procedure which reinstalls everything. more info here:
Also I wrote a TON about this here:
