RevPi not responding after re-imaging

We uploaded an image to the RevPi using RPIBoot and the write operation returned success.
After unplugging the USB cable and power cycled the RevPi it is not responding when trying to connect using Putty.
We have uploaded the same image to several other RevPis and successfully connected using Putty, so we know that the image is fully functional.

Is the RevPi bricked? What other reasons might there be why it's not responding even though the image was successfully written?

Hi jonaswiberg, you can use a tool that writes and reads out the written image to prove that the eMMC is written correct.
For example, you can use balena Etcher for this.
Then, if the problem persists, you can use an HDMI monitor and a USB keyboard to check for erroneous behavior during boot and try to log in without having a network and SSH connection.
