From the article:

> I opened the system and reseated everything, including the SSD. No change. I even tested the SSD in another machine to rule it out, and it’s fine too.

But that doesn't mean it's not bad RAM, a bad SSD controller, who knows what... there are only a few of these boxes in the wild regardless, so it's unlikely it can be debugged :(

Hi, Jeff! Didn't realize the SSD was removable. Murphy's Law dictates the problem will always be in a soldered-down component whenever this happens.
