It looks like you have some charring on the board in the picture, to the top left of the electrolytic cap that's reflecting the flash. Does that module mine at all?
are these the screws youre referring to?
Yup, thats them.
sigh. nm.
but:
the proper thing to do with all of these would be to mine for maybe a couple of weeks, then sell it off to some random chump that pays way more than it's worth. they're all over the place in the marketplace section

which screws are you referring to specifically?
can you show via a photo?
thanks mate, i would like to try it out.

I didnt take any photo's (although I should have). The screws I'm talking about are on the small rectangular plates that secure the ASIC boards to the heat sink. With those screws as lose as they were the ASIC's would not have been able to transfer heat properly to the heat sinks and most likely would fail prematurely.

Why is my miner losing connection? I have only had it a couple of days and haven't tampered with the hardware. Sometimes when I come home after college my miner has stopped mining and the orange light is on, so it is losing connection, yet my internet has been on the whole time. Can anybody help? Thanks.

you connecting via wifi or physical ethernet cable?
ethernet cable is always much more stable than wifi.
You would need to change the Avalon's ethernet port IP address to something similar to your computers. For insance, if your desktop/laptop is something like 192.168.1.100 change the Avalon to 192.168.1.(pick a number between 10 and 254). Keep in mind that there might be something on your network with the number you might choose so pick something odd like 177...
Remove the antenna, plug in an ethernet cable and you should be good to go.

dns?
All four of my miners are using 8.8.8.8 as the DNS entry. Only one of them would not connect and mine about 90% of the time.
I've decided to NOT use that bad miners controller and just plugged the two modules into another Avalon.

I would suggest setting a static local IP rather than using DHCP and see if that helps.

Your software and hardware seems incompatible. Try another version of the firmware. [2013-11-12 19:47:23] AVA looking for BBF 0403:6001 but found 0409:005a instead

My Avalon recently stopped hashing, and this is what cgminer outputs with debug enabled (hopefully relevant excerpt):
[2013-10-11 10:32:48] AVA0: GetAvalonReset (amt=64 err=-8 ern=11)
Can anyone suggest a remedy? Thanks in advance.
-8 is an overflow error which is unusual. Which firmware are you running? Try upgrading to latest supported[2013-10-11 10:32:48] AVA0: GetAvalonReset (amt=64 err=-8 ern=11)

I can assure you it's still an Avalon, but needless to say, I strongly suspect a hardware fault.
EDIT: Found the below later in the log:

All the values are correct, but I can't really decode the rest.

ethernet cable is always much more stable than wifi.
Now that these things have been up for about 12 hours I've got some more data.
On the first one I unboxed, I opened it up and found all those screws that needed to be snugged on the heat spreaders. Now, its the coolest one of the bunch and also has the highest hash rate. TEMP2 (which I'm guessing is on one of the boards or the heatsink) is 46C on this until and the others are all over 50C. Also, the fan speed on this one is around 2500 whereas the others are all at 3200 and higher. Hash rate on the miner I popped open is just south of 60GH's and the others are all hanging at closer to 57GH's. All four units are clocked to 375.
Seems to me that I need to bust open the other miners on Monday and tighten some screws.
I've got a friend that is working on a exotic cooling solution for gaming rigs. He's going to look at one of my Avalons to see if he can come up with something for them. I'd love to see these things operate closer to 40C without added fan noise. FWIW, the room they are in is held at a constant 18C.
Stay tuned!

Recently I purchased a avalon mini and I kinda screwed up the PSU. What happened was I opened up the machine to check what PSU I have, but then a screw when into the PSU and I didn't know. Without screwing everything back in, I tried to start the machine. I tried it twice and it switched off my fuse panel. So I opened the PSU later and tried to figure out what happened, then I bought the screw stuck in between 2 circuit wires. My question is did I damage my machine or just the PSU? I have an new PSU coming in and I want to know what is the chance that I screwed up the whole avalon mini.
Where is the official place to buy an Avalon?
When you connect your PC into the Avalon, are you giving your PC an IP address on the same subnet that your Avalon had?
Did you initially set up your Avalon on a DHCP or static IP address?
When you plug your PC into the wall were your Avalon will plug into in the new spot can you get onto the internet and surf websites?
I'll answer as I was asked.
Yes, the Avalon and the PC are on the same subnet. PC's address is 192.168.1.xxx and the Avalon is 192.168.1.206.
I've tried to configure the Avalon in both Static and DHCP. When in DHCP it moves to 192.168.1.12 (I made a copy of the MAC address so I could follow it though my router if it moved).
Yes, the PC can browse the internet just fine. There are three other Avalons that are connected to the same hub/switch as this one. They all work as advertised. I even tried moving network cables and ports on the switch and only this Avalon fails.
I think my bigger issue now is that CGMiner is missing from the Avalon in question. Or at least it looks like it is.
Anyone know how to telnet into these things? Is that even possible?
dns?
1 modules = 8
2 modules = 16
3 modules = 24
4 modules = 32
2 modules = 16
3 modules = 24
4 modules = 32
Yeah, that makes more sense. I wonder why my 2 module units are set to 24? I wonder if I should try setting them to 16 to see if they behave any different. The reason I ask is because when my now 4 module Avalon was set to 24 it would only hash in the MH range. Never would reach a singe GH.
Thanks for posting that.
