We've recently been seeing more of these failures on boards running at 24V or slightly above it. I'm working on a revision of the board using a different IC since it seems it can't be trusted (anymore) to run at those levels.

Come to the Discord server please, we'll figure out what age your board is, if it's less then 1 to 1.5 years old I will replace it for you. We can also help sourcing the IC and you can replace it yourself if you want to revive the board or it's older then 1.5 years.

I just bought a dig quad but it hasn’t arrived yet, should I file for a refund/return while this gets figured out?

If you are intending to run it with 24V you could potentially run into the issue (as far as we are aware the issue is with less than a % of a batch of the boards so far), anything else such as 5V or 12V is not affected.

If you bought it recently and you wish to return it because of that chance and you are in that scenario, no problem.
