The problem was the psu was touching the metal shelfs causing some kind electric problem. I put thick plastic underneath.

It is nice that you found a shorting issue. Happy mining

It simply means the PSU is bad. You need to contact who you bought it from and get a new one. I'm going to assume they are Bel Power Solutions PET1300-12-054NA PSUs and that they are used?! They are good PSUs, no doubt. But if you want them to continue to work and be power houses, I highly recommend you take off the top cover open up the plastic underneath and get a tank of compressed air and blow them out really, really good. Otherwise, they will just suffocate or dust will collect somewhere too much and create a contact and short out your PSU.

Edit: also you may want to check the contacts in the back and make sure none of them are bent.

This is a image capture of the screen cgminer

http://prntscr.com/a3aqbj

This is a image of the psu and miners

http://prntscr.com/a3atle

In the front of the PSU there's only 2 led displays. Fail which is a yellow light and green which is ok.  Is just stays in yellow.

and the shot of the psu's is pretty much worthless.

I see 10 avalon6's

I see 10 psu's

I see no lights on the avalon6's that are working they should be blue.

I see no lights on the psu's

I do not know what the psu is

I do not know if you use 120 volts
I do not know if you use 240 volts.
I do not know if you bridged the psu's you have.
I do not see power cords to the psu's
Finally while the gui you show has 7 units running
the image I see here looks like all the gear is turned off.

your question belongs in mining support.  I asked the mods to move it.

you had a different thread and it was moved to mining support.  In that thread I asked what are your psu's

so once again what are your psu's

and while I am at it  do you have 120 volt power or 240 volt power?


Hello please i need help, a miner is not working the other ones are. The avalon 6 led light is blinking red, i disconnected the miner and connected again, it starts with a white flash light, then it goes blinking green for some time, then it turns off for a few seconds, then it follows a red blinking light.

The miner is not detected in the user interface.

what are your power supplies?  flashing red means power is high.

read my burnt thread.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/avalon6-safety-or-how-i-burnt-my-avalon6-1336377

and let me know what you use to power the gear.

I have a PSU that says "fail" on in with a yellow light. I disconnect it from the power source and from the miner, and plug them back on and still says fail. There no way to fix this?
