no green light is showing anywhere on the pi.. i can barely see an orange/red light through the creases of the metal casing of the avaloncontroller cover. however, i'm sure it's turning on since i can plug in a monitor and see it running? i'm using an ipad charger adapter, it should fit the specs, 2.5a 5v 12w etc..
i'll have to open a ticket with canaan..
i may just buy a regular pi from microcenter tomorrow and use the flash card from canaan, i feel like the ethernet port light shouldn't take this much...

unless all of this could be solved with enabling DHCP to force a new IP to the Pi? although i'm not sure how doing so would resolve a port which appears to be getting no power..

edit: seems like a corrupt flash memory could prevent the Pi ethernet port from initializing properly? anyone?
