I awoke one morning recently to 2 inches of water covering my entire floor. In the line of fire was my TrueNAS Mini XL+, which no longer powers on.
I have tested the power supply, which seems to work when plugged into a testing device, leaving me to believe the problem is somewhere with the motherboard.
Can somebody please help me offer advice for getting this machine back up and running?
I assume my data is ok, as the bays should have been above the water line, but I guess I will find that out once I get the machine to power on again.
Should I be doing a full motherboard swap, or testing individual components? What tools would I need to do that?
I'm not completely new to building computers, but I was never an expert and it's been many years. Besides, I don't know much about the parts used in the TrueNAS products. All help is deeply appreciated. I have both personal memories and work documents locked away. It's been a challenge, especially with all of the other water damage sustained in the house.
Below are the specifications for my machine. I upgraded to SCALE, though that's probably not relevant to the hardware issues.
Thanks for taking the time to read through this.
