    I accidentally connected an APU1.c with wrong polarity: switching power supply with 12 V DC, but plus/minus wrong.

    Now I corrected this and the board simply starts making a clicking sound (relais?) and blinking .. LEDs D10 and D11 and the 3 "status" LEDs D5-D7.

    serial console just shows the BIOS line again and again ...

    "PC Engines APU BIOS build date: Apr  5 2014"

    Same with or without SD card inside.

     

    Did I kill it? Any trick to reset or something?

    EDIT: seems the PSU is to weak, right? 12V 600mA ... according to the label.

    Yes, it sounds like weak power supply. had similar symptoms when my power supply became dead. Please find a 2A power supply (apu can take 2 amps in the peak during startup)s
