Mine died. I put in for a RMA but have heard nothing back.

Can you forward a copy of the e-mail you sent to the RMA team and when you sent it?

I used the RMA form on the website.

It looks like it might have messed up any flash memory it might have. I.e it seems to load the BIOS, cause I can get a terminal open on it,

There is no BIOS, only ROM that you can't touch.  I boots directly off of the uSD card.

After reading the support website I suspect that might be the case but was hoping it wasn't.

but it won't boot - so maybe a driver for the SD card is corrupt or something?  I even re-imaged the SD card and also tried a Fedora image on a separate card. Won't boot.

Without *physical* damage, as long as the SD card is written properly, it'll boot.  Are you sure you decompressed the SD card image you were writing?  I suspect you likely had some issue writing the SD card.

The board went from working and booting (Angstrom) on my desk to failing and not booting on my desk.  So I don't suspect any physical damage. I followed the websites instructions on re-imaging the card.  All I get in the terminal is the 'C' characters showing up. Pressing the reset button provides more 'C's.  So it went from fully working to not booting without physically moving on my desk.

I'm considering the new beaglebone.
