   Only time I have had routers fail is after lightning strikes on or near   
   DSL lines

   Well all semiconductors are subject to dopant migration and/or   
   contamination after sealing failures. Especially at elevated   
   temperatures. But since nothing on a Pi is 'user replaceable' knowing   
   what is faulty is of academic interest only.   
      
   SD cards are cheap and so are Pis. selective replacement would seem to   
   be a simpler method to achieve a working setup again.
