This is a continuation from The night of the rattly atem.

The (hopefully) final instalment in this saga of 1 from the ATEM 4K 1/ME.

After the ATEM was broken for whatever reason, probably vibrations, it has now been fixed by our wonderful Liam Burnand... Liam definitely didn't write this...

Liam was board on 2/2/22 so decided to take a crack at the ATEM, the process was just simply to see if there was something obviously wrong with the ethernet port, controller or board.

Once inside, the ethernet port was on a daughter board so Liam took the logical step of taking out the taking the daughter board because sometimes board-to-board connectors can sometimes be flaky. Liam inspected the board fully and couldn't see anything obviously wrong with the daughter board and proceeded to blow out the connector as dust can accumulate in the connector causing a short of just simply a broken circuit.

After reinstalling the daughter board Liam went to test the ethernet as a last ditch effort and to both Liam and Max's surprise, the ATEM showed up in the control software and I did some more testing to verify it by rebooting and disconnecting everything and reconnecting everything.

It worked!

Liam put it all back to gather, screwing the screws and bolting the bolts. Then testing the ATEM just like he did before and it still worked. It has probably been unfucked.
