Where do you get the error code? I mean, does Avalon 6 show error codes on a display somewhere?

1028 is two codes.

loop0fail: there is a failure in the hashing board itself

pga0fail: this is a power failure...either something in the power stage of the board went bad or you are not supplying the board with the proper amount of power. (this power issue will cause the loop fail error code as well since the board cant power up to actually proceed with the POST)

how about error code 1028?

Seems to be hashing on one board or atleast 1500-2000 ghs

517 is a combination of three error codes

code 1 - idle
code 4 - loop 0 fail
code 512 - no fan


The fan error means that the unit cannot sense the control line the fan (this wire is how the unit adjusts the fan speed). The fan will just be spinning at maximum but the unit will not hash in this state. I would recommend completely powering down the unit, unplug the fan, then wrap a small piece of tape around the connector before plugging it back in. The plugs are not always snug and just the slightest movement from vibrations can send the unit into the 512 state.

The loop 0 error is saying that one of your hashing boards is in a failure state. This can be a false reading due to the fan error. Once the fan has been taken care of you should power the unit up and and see if the error code is gone. Some other issues can cause a false positive with the board failure codes. If you get an error code 4 after doing this it means the board on the right side of the unit (looking at the unit from the PCIE power plug side) has failed. If you are still under warranty I would call immediately to get a replacement.

I can't fix this problem, does anyone know what kind of problem is? Something about the fan according avalon6 wikipedia error codes....but i see the fan working, but the miner led red.
