Default R45-A - CRio and solenoid 24VDC power busted

EDIT: FALSE ALARM - LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE WAS THE CULPRIT

Our power distribution board has failed in the 24VDC output section. All other power sections are working. It is too late to order another before the bag date. R45-A states:

Quote:
The cRIO-FRC power input must be connected to the 24VDC supply terminals on the Power Distribution Board. No other electrical load can be connected to these terminals.
The spec sheets show that the 24VDC output is current limited to 1A.

My question is: If we hook up another 12 to 24VDC power converter that is fused to 1A can we use it to power the cRIO and 24VDC directional control valve solenoids?

We have confirmed that the output has failed because it slowly bleeds out through the multimeter. The cRIO works fine with an external power supply.
