My Raspberry PI got shorted out, a diode on the backside burnt out. I had upgraded from v1 Mboard over to v2.3 Mboard. It lasted just 5 minutes or so before burning out. Now back to v1 Mboard. I think the PI does not like being fed power through the pins, and rather expects a micro-usb plug.
I am not sure if the version of the M-board matters. A month ago my RPi lost its GPIO functionality when I powered down a v1 M-board. I wonder if putting a decoupling capacitor between the GPIO power pin and ground would help?

But notice my observation about cards with and without caps here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3390730
I haven't noticed that problem myself, running 7 original boards with 8 "new" boards in one rig right now.. Very stable.
I am having trouble with one of my new v1 H-boards as well shorting out my whole rig. I don't notice anything damaged or anything smelling funny either. I've tried many ways to troubleshoot the problem.

I've asked via the megabigpower power site as well - any ideas on when the October hardware should be delivered?? I was originally told last week and that's not right, so...
Please point me in the right direction, maybe I missed a post on another thread??..??
I ordered just over three months ago - #33x

I received a very kind reply from customer service - should have information later (today?) on availability - I'll post an update if I hear anything and would appreciate it if others did the same!
so did this happen paco...we're all eagerly (well, some are begrudgingly) awaiting any news of delivery of v3 hardware for assembly and shipment!

I bought 5 starter kits and I obviously only need 1-2.
I'll sell a 32-37GH/s starter kit for $1200 OBO, includes 1 h-board, raspberry pi and 1 sd card with each kit. you will have to reimage the sd card.
3 starter kits for sale and they will probably get to you before this week is over.

I'd love to pickup another starter kit, but with h-boards already over priced at $500, your asking price is not interesting.

Are we going to be compensated if units are not received before the end October like the Sept orders were? I'm considering canceling at this point, don't see ROI coming any time soon...

Try changing the following lines in miner.h and assuming you are using Auto-tuning. These work best for me
Code:
#define MAXSPEED 55
#define DEFSPEED 54
#define MINSPEED 53
Thanks. Does this require running 'make' after editing that file?
Yes, you need to make it. you can make it inside /opt/bitfury/chainminer directory
how would i do this on a running unit
edit: think i got it.
Code:
cd /opt/bitfury/chainminer
pico miner.h
*make edits to file, then exit with saving*
make
sudo reboot

I am still waiting for RMA and no email yet for today?

Has anyone had their October starter kits ship yet?
They still have a few days right? September went out completely before October ... right? Wait till Nov 15, then wonder why you haven't received it.
Oh, for sure. I'm not complaining... (yet
)I haven't paying close attention to each and every post of all 165 pages. I did notice that some people have claimed shipping of order numbers higher than mine.
That's why I was asking, I wanted to make sure I didn't get missed somehow...
Starter kits for 25Gh/s and 400Gh/s are waiting for newer V3 h/w. Most orders shipped out newer V1 Hboard for older Mboards.

We'll mine our own equipment before we fire sale hardware.
And therein lies the heart of a number of problems, two of which are:
No price adjustment of retail prices to match the difficulty.
No adding hardware to the
