Trouble resetting NetPI
#5
Dark monitor on HDMI and no flashing ACT LED means definitively your netPI is not booting. Either the hardware has defect or the SD card got no longer bootable.

I see the device with the MAC ID B827EB6556ED was manufactured 2018-05-16. Devices manufactured before 2019 are special and have their SD card tightly glued into the SD card socket which in turn means they cannot be removed or changed any more. We decided this because of security reasons in order not to allow customers to change the card or the Linux OS contents on the card. Later in year 2019 we changed the strategy and from that point on SD cards no longer have been glued into the socket. But with your device no chance.

You will recognize the type of device with/without glued SD card by looking to the number located under the small qr-code it says 1321.510 1 for those with glued SD card and 1321.510 2 for those without glued SD cards.

At this point and from remote analysis I can tell you that your netPI cannot be recovered any more. And the manufacturing year 2018 tells me also there is no guarantee any more for this device.

P.S.: from my personal experiences I indeed got the glue removed from the SD card once by heating up the glue and SD card and socket and then using a twezzer to crumble away the glue piece by piece and reach the space below the SD card to lift it up little and then finally get it out of the socket. But what's really got destroyed during this process was the push-push mechnism of the socket since it was melted away. But after cleaing the socket from the black glue parts I was able to shift in a new card and got Raspbian OS working.
