In the picture here (or near there if the link isn't quite right), the problematic pi0w7 is the third one from the left in the top row. I swapped Zero Ws between that and the tree setup to its immediate left, pi0w4. They've been running swapped for about 24 hours. The tree that never rebooted before still hasn't, seemingly exonerating that board. The tree that had been rebooting a lot (up to perhaps six times per day), has rebooted twice in the last 24 hours. Not as perfect a result as if it had rebooted six times, but I'll take that as suggestive that it's not the SBC.
What's left beyond the board?
The power supply - not since I switched to an Official supply
The tree PCB itself? what flaw there could cause reboots?
SD card - how would the card even cause reboots?
The easiest thing to check might be the micro SD card - I could burn a brand new card, copy over the exact code from the haunted one, and try again. Either swapping the SBCs back, or not.
