Topic: Did I fry my miner??? (Read 519 times)
I run it off my mackbook pro. I run BFGminer in terminal and monitor it on the pools website. I'm going to try and set it up on another computer and see what I get. I'm hoping you right and it's just a network issue!! thank you for helping. I'll post results tonight.
first off I apologize for my lack of info, I am relatively new to this. Let me describe what happened. I have had the Fury for about two months now and have been successfully mining various alternative cryptocurrencies on a number of pools. I let it run all day and had had no issues at all. Came home about two weeks ago and noticed the cooling fan on top was starting and stopping frequently. I immediately went to the Powersupply and It was not hot at all. Still thinking something was wrong with it, i powered everything down and opened the case on the powersupply found a bulging capacitor. Went and purchased a new power supply witht he same rating and plugged everything back in. When I fire up BFGMiner everything starts just fine, it sees the miner and even register a hashrate. Then I get the connection to stratum disrupted lost --- shares. and it just keeps repeating that over and over. The miner seems to be working properly as far as I can tell...
So the only difference is I am currently at my brothers house for a month and I am mining there. Could there possibly be something he has set up on his internet connection that would cause this? Firewall or something?
Thanks in advance for anything that may help resolve this.

I think you're on the right track, I did suggest a networking issue. Is there any indication there ever was a connection that was
lost? Most home firewalls don't block outgoing connections. It could be something more fundamental like getting an IP address
on the new network. Do you have any kind of network connectivity? How do you manage the miner, does it have its own KB and
monitor inputs or do you use ssh or a web browser?
You seem to have gotten lucky with the PSU failure.

I have a GAWminer fury that I had hashing away on a pool just fine. The power supply crapped out on me, I got a replacement (correct voltage and amperage rating) and now it wont connect to the pool anymore. Actually no pool!! Is it possible I fried it? Anyone else had this issue and know a fix?

It really helps if you provide a detailed problem description.
I don't know anything about GAWminer, but yes it's possible.
Does it power up ok after the PSU was replaced? How far does it get, where do things take a
wrong turn?
Are there any alarms, lights, funny noises? Can you login?
Not connecting to the pool appears to be a networking issue. Did you reconnect everything? do you
have network connectivity?
any help is appreciated please.
