So my nand appears to have run out of spare blocks and so flashing it has killed the box. Its not completely dead as I see the serial output, but right when then main OS should be booting I see it fall over. Trying to flash shows an error writting with no free spare nand blocks.
Very surprised to be in this position but all nands come with bad blocks, thats what the spares are for. Its an original box bought a few years ago from WOS but the nand is not something you can easily replace. I might be able to get it off the board but sourcing another is proving to be difficult.
Has anyone replaced theirs before in a VU UNO?. Its painful becaues I know its only a chip that costs at most £10 and I'm going to have to spend hundreds in replacing it with another E2 box
