These normally don't break "just like that" - the only thing I can imagine is that it is mechanically demaged - either a bad cable, or the 16MHz crystal, which is sensitive to shock.
What computer are you trying it on? Micromys V4 has auto-detection which may fail on a certain machine or if you're attempting hot-plug.
The crystal of Micromys V4 is a standard HC49-SMD 16MHz crystal with 20pf load capacitance. Can't get any more "standard" than that. However, unsoldering this may be a challenge, as most of the contact area is under the plastic protector, and you will have a hard time heating the whole area of both pins at the same time. You should maybe measure with an oscilloscope if it swings at 16MHz - if it does, there is no need to solder on it.
The last reply was more than 365 days ago, this thread is most likely obsolete. It is recommended to create a new thread instead.
