no output from uboot at all.  no output of any kind.

Assuming it isn't hardware death the only option I can see is re-flashing.

i haven't cracked the case.  does anyone know if there's
a jtag port at all in a sheevaplug?

Even if there's no ready-to-use JTAG port on the board on the PCB there sure will be a site where you can add a pin header or box header (requires some soldering). From there it should be straight forward. Identify the site (ARM JTAG comes in 10- and 20-pin varieties)and pinout, then connect to your JTAG board/box.

I have tried that with a bricked Patriot NAS that used a Marvell 88F5182. The device didn't have a serial port nor JTAG but both facilities had been thought of on the PCB. Now it has serial console and can be un-bricked at will.

P.S. Other two replies show Marvell has been more considerate than Patriot.

yes.  that's how i set it up to pxe from the auth server.

What's the output from uBoot, if any? As a last resort, tried
re-flashing  it over JTAG?
