Hi there  
I have found that my node is not working after 6 months of running node without any problems. Now I can not connect with my pc over the network to umbrel.local. I also don’t know what IP is used to try to ping it. If I plug external monitor directly I don’t have any video signal from RasPi. Also I have try to connect SSD to my W10 pc, and windows don’t noticed any hardware connected. The lights and ventilation on RasPi is working. Don’t know how to approach to troubleshoot and repair my node.

Any help would be great

Thanks
