It's just rubbing alcohol are they afraid you going to drink it?

Maybe! Ha Ha!

I think they do it have, the Canadian website isn't the most up-to-date website compared the the US one. I think its probably because they have been drinking the rubbing alcohol!

Hi All,

This is a screen grab from my 4 module. Is the miner count correct at 24?

Thanks!

No, for 4 modules, it should be 32. Set it in the configuration tab.

Isopropyl is common, used in first aid. I found 91% Isopropyl at Walmart only a $1 or $2 for 32 fl oz.
I think I would go with the 91% they also sale a 70% strength.

They only sell it as a jell at Walmart Canada.

I think I agree with Yifu it should not matter.
You could cleaning it off with isopropyl alcohol and a few Q-tips or soft cloth.
Watch out of static electricity though and only us a little isopropyl no need to sock it.

I will have to see if I can find that stuff.

So does the error indicate only 1 section of 10 chips is not working?

Where do I see that?

From your log file. [match_work_count29] => 0
Looks like 1 sub unit not working. I assume the other 31 sub units show some hash count other that zero.

I get that, but does it mean that count29 is on the 4th module or does it mean it a random sub, meaning I will have to pull out all the modules!?

It is the 5th one from the left on module 4, the one with the smudged stuff on it.

The smug stuff is the silicon, which is why I asked many posts ago if it would matter and that Yifu told me in an email from [email protected] that it wouldn't.. but I suspect it does. Is there any safe way of cleaning the circuits on the board?

Yes all the other units are hashing just fine.

I am just trying to confirm if match_work_count29 refers to module 4 or does it change the order around once you add your 4th module to the Avalon and connected it?

Help!!!

My B1 Avy show [match_work_count29] => 0 in the logs. So I powered it down and took out the 4th module, the one I bought from Avalon-asic.com in the summertime and had a look at it. Other than the one board having silicon all over it nothing is burnt on any of the boards. I took a picture with my BlackBerry and am including it. All I can think of is that possibly the silicon is causing some issue with the one board, please let me know what you think I should?

Thanks

Thanks. I was about to eat, then shovel snow, then get the multimeter from the car, then see if we have the same controller board. This way is easier.

Why shovel snow when one can experience the fun of the Snow Wolf??

Fasmax,

That's about what I was guessing. ProfMac, now that I have an additional person saying it's a 3.3v LDO I feel fine replacing the part and seeing if it gets me down the road. Heck, the worst thing that could happen is .... nothing. I'll take pics of my adventure when the part arrives from mouser so you can see my AWESOME solder work (Meh ....)

From the looks of the part number you listed it looks likely to be a 3.3 volt regulator.
Checking the schematic of the controller U2 is a 3.3 volt regulator.
You should measure about 3.3 volt between ground and the regulator output.

As a side note I *THINK* I've found the part I seek. Even so ProfMac if you could get me a multi-meter reading on that output voltage for that part It'd be GREAT. I *BELIEVE* it's mouser.com part# 701-SPX3940T-L-3-3 and I *THINK* the part is a 1.5A Low Dropout Positive Regulators, 3-pin package TO-263. Time to lean into this pitch and order said part. YIPPIEE Shocked

H@shKraker

I do have a multi-meter. I have the batch #2 Avalon. I don't know what hardware version for the controller board, I'll have to shut down a miner and open it up to see.

Can you post a photo of your board, and indicate which part, or especially where a test point is that you'd like me to measure?
