Please consider sending in blade-b for repair, HiFo (or who ever is responsible for holding the account) should have enough funds for that and should be interested in keeping assets in a functional state. [edit] actually (quote) used CPUs are a few bucks nowadays, from datacenter upgrade surplus (/quote). So - unlike a 4(?) years ago - now populating a third (and, after repair, 4th) blade might be way cheaper and basically only cost the HDD plus a few bucks for a CPU and RAM you just need to clean from dust before mounting them to our spare blades BR /j
