The Openpeak 5VDC power supplies are still available for purchase. For a time here I was using POE power splitters to provide power to the Jogglers.
I have 15 Jogglers today running 24/7 and did notice over the years that the power supply / NIC / Audio board was becoming loose. IE: when you plugged in the power supply it pushed in the board and did not make a power connection.
One by one over the last two weeks took the Jogglers apart. Removed the old hot melt glue which had softened and used one drop of Gorilla glue on each side of the board. This now forms a good bond on the horizontal board that slides in to the back.
I also purchased a box of Kapton tape and redid it all inside. The box of tape has 4 sizes of Kapton tape. On the Seabios Openpeak devices I have no issues fitting the SSD drive over the USB wireless stick.
Procedure to take apart the Joggler and reglue the NIC board.
1 - take the back cover off (4 screws on the bottom of the case in the rear)
2 - take the LCD touchscreen monitor cable off the main motherboard of the Joggler (carefully)
3 - remove the 5 screws holding the motherboard to the case.
4 - move the motherboard out and disconnect the ribbon cable that goes from the horizontal board to the main board. There is a clip that keeps the stiff ribbon cable in place.
5 - carefully using a sharp tool remove the hot melt glue. Mine came off right away.
6 - put one drop of gorrilla glue on each side of the track that the board slides on. Let it dry some 5-6 hours. It will not move again.
7 - reassemble the joggler. The horizontal board with NIC, audio and power will not move again.
I utilize a Windows tool to reformat the USB and or SSD devices. It is very slow and works 100% of the time. I purchased it. The free one is very slow.
It is called HDDGuru. It works fine on 32/64 Gb USB sticks and makes them like new. I run this program in W7 / XPe. I have used this program on the 1-2 Gb eMMC drives in the Joggler, Openpeak 1 and 2. You have to boot the Joggler in windows though using Seabios or just use another computer.

To copy the USB sticks or SSD partitions here utilize GParted which works 100% of the time these days.
For a non openpeak 2 AMP 5VDC power supply you can utillize the:
Intertek 5VDC, 2A Power Supply with Barrel Connector posted on Ebay for $6.99 USD
New Openpeak power supplies are available on Ebay for $10.49.
OpenPeak 5VDC 4A Switching Power Supply (LFS054000D-8AS)
I have not had any Openpeak power supplies fail me in the last 10 years or so.
You can also replace the EFI 1Mb boot chip with a new chip doing the hot swap on the chip. You need two Jogglers to do this.
Or use the old chip and write over it again.
Steps:
1 - take apart your Joggler to get access to the socketed boot chip as described above.
2 - boot up with original OS
3 - plug in a writable USB stick
Best to download my USB stick image with realtek writing software and Joggler ROMs and use this one.
4 - Backup ROM
modprobe fh
dd if=/dev/fh of=/mnt/efi.img bs=1024
5 - do the hot swap of the chip while Joggler is on.
6 - write the back up ROM to the new chip
7 - dd if=/mnt/efi.img of=/dev/fh bs=1024
You can still purchase the 1Mb ROM chips from electronic parts supplies.
Personally here utilize the Avaya boot rom EFI ROM chip image and the Seabios image.
For the new Debian build here have gone external 32Gb mini USB stick. It is working fine these days. For my rebuild of the Seabios Openpeak devices have gone to new flipped ribbon cables and new 16Gb SSD drives running embedded XP. Fit is around 8Gb on these. Having issues writing Linux to the Seabios'd Openpeak devices.
