I have tried unpluging the power and data to all modules then pluging one in at a time and trying to run them individualy, I want to try to hook up the avalon usb to a laptop and attempt to mine that way... Ive read about having to remove a jumper, but i believe that was in a different avalon batch I have a batch 3 4 module.

miner suddenly stopping for 2hrs+ until manual restart for no reason again

i've managed to capture the cgminer api log but forgot to capture the kernel and system log.

any idea why?

Code:

When the Avalon is turned on, immediately the red light comes on & it won't hash. The fans aren't spinning either.  Huh
Replacing the PSU... nothing
Flashing to ckolivas' newest firmware... nothing


Ive been having similar issues, when using http://ocz.com/consumer/psu/zx-series-850w-1250w-power-supply ZX Series 850W-1250W - Power Supply
I get red and yellow leds and the fans dont spin.

When placing the original power supply back in fans spin and I get yellow and green leds.

Ive checked all connections to make sure nothings unplugged, reflashed the wr703n, unsuccessfully tried replacing the power supply(red and yellow led), copied every setting from a functioning avalons luci/cgminer settings.

I've posted the system, kernal and cgminer error logs here.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3089903


Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance.

As well I understood Avalon works without problems with original PSU  ?
If not remove all modules and try run with  one. Than check next one.

With the orginal PSU the fans spin, wr703n functions fine but we still have a yellow/green leds.

When you talk about removing a module to you mean removing the power chord attached to the module, removing the pci data ribbon or both?
Yes both, data and power connector from all modules, and start connecting one by one.

Would i remove the power from the pci ribbons at the fpga or at the chips? Do I need to change the miner count for running one module? I cycled threw and unpluged the power from all but one and then pluged in one at a time and rebooting the avalon to no avail.

Thanks in advance.

I am certain it is the module, after messing around with it for a while I started to smell that infamous burning electronics smell. To further prove it's the module, I saw it spark up pretty good upon flipping the switch on... scared the crap out of me lol.

This just happened to me too.   Angry

On mine it's clearly the chip near the center of a miner with a big + sign and "680 e31" - it looks and smells burnt

In my unit two modules are connected and two are not.  The problem is on one of the connected modules, though it looks like I could separate it fairly easily.

Still searching... is there a warranty or some way to get this fixed?



What frequency were you running?


It was set to 325 mhz and oc'd using --avalon-auto

It's a b3 with ckolivas's 20130821 firmware and for options "--real-quiet --avalon-auto --avalon-fan 100 --avalon-freq 325-370 --avalon-cutoff 90 --avalon-temp 70"

Previously it would get up to the high 340's, sometimes hover around 350/351.  I never did any forced or "crazy" oc'ing, just used avalon-auto.

Last week it was stuck at 325 most of the time, and put up the expected hash rate (measured at the pool).

I got in today and found the red light on, fans not spinning, toggled the power switch, and got a loud pop and the burnt smell, I immediately shut it off and started pulling it apart.  The PSU is good, per the two testers I tried on it.

I have my a/c feeding four b3's 24/7 and the other three are doing well (no slowdown or other signs of trouble) all with temp2 in the mid 60's.

I disconnected the bad module and have the remaining three running now.  I tried changing the miner count from 32 down to 24, but that made it run like only two modules were installed.  I put it back to 32 and it's doing about 78 GH/s @325 Mhz.  Also interesting is that avalon-auto doesn't seem to be kicking in.  It's been stuck at 325 Mhz for almost half an hour now (since my last restart), just like last week.  I tried setting avalon-freq to 330-370 just to get it to move and it won't.

Could this be due to a bad flash?  I haven't seen anyone else report that problem.

BTW-

Has anyone tried taking Avalon batch 3 modules apart? In the four module version, they combined modules 1 & 2 and 3 & 4. I'm not sure if there is an easy way to separate them into individual modules.

If anyone wants a fried batch 3 module let me know, maybe you could fix it. I am not sure what fried on it, but I saw sparks flying so it can't be good.
You can remove only broken submodule. Each module usually contains 8 mini modules (PCBs) with 10 chips. I see only on low quality  photo batch 3 module. They have 2x40 chip PCB, but I'm not sure.
I test Avalon with only one chip and works fine Smiley So in my opinion You can work with any quantity PCB. I am happy to buy the defective unit without heat sink - depends on the price.

Definitely could of been worse. I'm just happy to have it back at 3/4ths the speed!

I am certain it is the module, after messing around with it for a while I started to smell that infamous burning electronics smell. To further prove it's the module, I saw it spark up pretty good upon flipping the switch on... scared the crap out of me lol.
