Thanks for the info, I never looked inside. As soon as I got it, it went right to work and the pic looks like it is modular. Poor design imo...if they were modular, you could add extra income to your product line by sell the sub-modules. Also if the system could be designed plug and play, you could start swapping out the bad units with upgraded tech...extending the life of the miner.

Oh well, thanks for taking the time to educate this 'ol dog.

I turned it off and on last night. It would last a few hours and die again. Just disabled wifi and flashed to the latest firmware which is something I recognize the original must have been ancient 20130723. Will leave it on eligius so I can see if holds together. Thanks for the suggestions will post in a few days if it worked, sooner if it doesn't.

Your picture shows 1 module with 8 subs. The subs are manufactured as 1 board and are not cut into 8 separate boards. So if sub 29 and 30 are damaged you will have to replaced the entire module.

Thank you for the reply. I made a mistake of not reporting that I have a Avalon 1 Batch3/4 miner. From the pics I have seen, each mod looks to comprise 8 subs. I thought I might be able to replace the 2 bad sub-modules.

You would need to replace the entire module, the sub boards are fabricated at one large board which = 1 module.

I am in the same boat as you, my 29 sub board is dead for some reason even though there is nothing burnt on it.

I see from from posts in hear that modules do drop out and it looks like workers 29 and 30 are the common failed modules. So I guess I can replace them if I find working mods for sale. I also noticed that Utility is only at 7...I take it that is not right?

I could really use some help...I hope I haven't broken some kind of protocol by asking these questions.

Thanks for the update Xiangfu!

Hi Avalon users

There is a new firmware released(Version: 20131229), please may want update your Avalon to latest firmware
  Please read the ChangeLog before reflash, here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon#20131229
  You can find the firmware here: http://downloads.canaan-creative.com/software/avalon/latest/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-factory.bin

If you have any problem on Avalon, please read this page first: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon, if it not fix your issue. please goto #avalon @freenode.net ask some help.

Thanks to conman and kanoi. right now. the cgminer support both Avalon (A3256 110nm) and Avalon prototype (A3255 55nm) machine.

All The Best
Xiangfu

The tplink router in the avalons is really flaky with wifi enabled and this is the symptom of it. Plug it in via ethernet only and disable all wifi.

I'm Back Avalon took a shit any ideas?

Thanks so much for the quick replies. Will check the error rate and try to update.

The 17-24 missing is normal. The Avalon mini only has 2 modules in it but due to some issue with the software/hardware some people including myself have to run with 24 miner counts to have the 16 run properly.

Update to 20131229 from CK, he posted a link a couple of threads back.

Look in your logs you'll see [Device Hardware%] =>, that's the % of hardware errors. Mine which uses the new CK firmware and runs at 350Mhz has an error rate of 0.4202 which is normal.

It looks like 1 of your modules is not working.
Make sure the ribbon cable is fully seated and power is attached.

running at 375 now and speed is around 60. Its in alcove in my attic about 22 degrees ambient. Where does Cgminer show the error rate? My newer Avalon shows a percentage i just can't tell if its throwing tons of errors at the new speed. Current firmware is 20130723 should it be upgraded and if the answer is yes do you think i could do it without bricking it? Using my first posts as a reference 

Again thanks for the help

If this is a 60GH/s miner you need to increase the clock speed to 350mhz. You still may not get 60GH/s as most people who have bought the Avalon Mini generally get between 55 and 60GH/s at 350Mhz. The mini can do 400Mhz (at your own risk) but you need to make sure its in a cold place.

Does this mean miners 17-24 are not working?

Many thanks, i never could get it to reset but changed it to 192.168.1.101 and it showed up on my network. It's only hashing at 45 GH any ideas?
