The good old freezer trick ... (aka receipt for dead devices)

My Turris Omnia NG router was dead. No lights nowhere. I took out the installed NVMe SSD. I took out the RTC battery. Nothing helped. The display stayed black, the etherenet ports didn't blink at all.

So I unplugged everything and put the power supply and the router into the freezer for half an hour. Then I took everything out, waited another half hour and plugged everything back together and ... the router lived again!

(Sometimes «fixing» things can be really strange.)
