What happened when it stopped working? Also, have you checked the power supply (plugged-in, switched on), motherboard (switched on), etc?

It's possible the power supply is dead. Try unplugging the connections from the power supply and see if you can get it to turn on (google for how to turn on an atx power supply by shorting the power on pins on the main connector).

If the power supply is dead, see if there's one around the shop to try...

Todd,

This further confirms that you are bad luck around machines. First the fab lab and now the node. Hopefully you don't visit Shapeways or they might have to close down for machine repairs.

Could it be possible that the motherboard lost it's firmware? I had a similar issue and that was the case. Hit the reset switch on the motherboard and see if any of the debug LEDs blink. If they do, reflash the firmware. Just a suggestion.

firmware upgrade succeeded!  you have to pick reprap motherboard v 2.4 and
push the reset and upload button at the same time.  there are two buttons.
 use the one that is lower that says reprap motherboard on it

Double check the cable between the motherboard and that stepper controller.
 Hopefully something is loose rather than being broken.
