Hi Tim, sorry for your loss and hope you find a path forward soon.

Have you done, or do you plan to do, a postmortem to determine the root cause of failure? The IMSB could have caused the failure or it could have been taken out by a different root cause. Understandable if you don’t want to pursue this. There’s really not an upside to confirming the failure mode other than just knowing for sure.
