RoboRIO 2.0 5V Short

Our RoboRio power indicator light is continuously red. We checked on the FRC driver station it said there was one 5V short. We used the multimeter to check its voltage and it appeared to be essentially 0 volts down the whole rail instead of 5. Then, we took the cover off and cleaned it up, thoroughly checked for metal shavings or possible issues, we shook it vigorously to dislodge possible metal shavings, and used canned air to blow off any dust. After that, we tried again and it still said there was a short and the power light was still red. We are not sure where the short is and think our RoboRio may be faulty. What should we do?
