Assuming your board did not fail due to misprogramming and destroying the FPGA, were you able to determine what stopped working on your DE1 board? Perhaps it is something simple like a failed power supply. I think if you were able to identify a fault in your board Terasic would be willing to fix it. Cheers, Dave
