What do you mean "dead"?

Are you a member of www.smartqmid.com? Some of us have joined that forum (and others dealing with this hardware) to pool knowledge. There have been quite a few who thought they had forever bricked their units, but found that the OS can be loaded and run from an SD card. Once that's done you have some other abilities to recover your Q.

Unless, of course, it's hardware again! If it is please sing out!

There are a few other forums dealing with these SmartQ 5/7s. Go to one and you'll find the links to others.
