The Intel NUC I use for my away-from-home-theater has failed. After power-up, it spends a lot of time with the NUC logo on screen, then shows a message that POST failed, and to press Y to enter setup. However, it doesn't seem to recognize a keyboard.
I'm taking a break for dinner, but when I get home, I'll try removing the M.SSD, and reseating and/or rearranging DIMMs.
I think it's a NUC8i5 or 8i7.
I'm still irritated that Intel sold off the NUC line. Asus only continued the gamer NUCs
