Mine doesn't have a fuse. it is a V2

They all have fuses.  The old ones have automotive style fuses, and the new ones have an SMT fuse in a socket.

After running the blades for 2-3 weeks, they both started to slow down to like 1-4 GHS. I don't know how or why. I tried resetting the PSU but it didn't help. The blades heatsinks are pretty cool not like before. So I decided to factory reset one of them and see if it will fix it. I shorted 2 and 3 with a screwdriver and then the green LED start to blink. Then I tried to go to the config page http://192.168.1.254:8000 but it didn't work. Then I realized that the blade is not turning on anymore. I tried turning off the PSU and switching different calbe, it didn't help.
Please help me out here.
PS. I have the other one running, but it's still slow.

Is the fuse blown?


How can I check?

You will need a multimeter to check it.  You can take it out of the socket and measure resistance across it - if it's open, it's blown.  Or alternatively you could leave it in circuit and powered, and measure the voltage on both ends of the fuse.  You should see the same voltage on both ends.  If you don't see any voltage on one end, it's blown.


I checked it and it's blown. I need to replace it, do you know store like radioshack or walmart sell fuses that I need to replace it?

I doubt RS or Walmart will have surface mount fuses.  Places like Digikey and Mouser carry them.  Someone posted this a couple of pages back:

hi i have a good power supply all wiring as to the pictures 4 black 2 yellow on a splitter. the blade powers up for about 2 min 15 sec and then restarts.
i have installed virtual machine with win 7 32bit and ran in mining proxy then directed the blades to my pc in virutal machine but still no luck. i use the mining proxy download from bitcoin.cz and use bat file with my details, i have bitminter,slush pool and btcguild tried all different setting but still same.
can any one setup a proxy for me (via instructions or remote)and i will give 0.2 btc as a reward 

 My blade is ver2, green in color.

I have the same issue. I am using a computer PSU rated at 450 watts, upgraded from a desktop psu i was using.
 
The specs of the power supply are as followed:
 3.3v@20a  / 5v@20a   /  12v@30a / [email protected]    /  5vsb@2a

From the PSU -> Molex -> Molex splitter -> 2 yellow / 5 black -> Blade.
 
 You'll see i get 4 x's at the end of the row for "CHIP"  .
 I just bought this PSU thinking the one i was using wasnt good enough. so bought this 450 one.
 I did the PSU Bypass .. Jumped the green wire with the black next to it.
 I tested the volts at the green connector and there good. various testing on the board get me voltage. With this gen2 - green pcb i just dont know what to do and what to expect at various points.
The configuration screen shows as follows :


 Thanks

Hi guys,

I just bought 10 blades with a backplane and the psu included.
I read the entire thread but didn't see anyone cooling 10x blades on backplane.
I suppose the space is tight so I was thinking of buying maybe 2 of these fans
http://www.amazon.com/Kaz-HT-900-Honeywell-TurboForce-Fan/dp/B001R1RXUG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1385233375&sr=8-1&keywords=fan
Is that enough?
How do you guys cool that many blades?

I think I will also need a switch
I was thinking of this one
http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-ProSAFE-16-Port-Ethernet-Desktop/dp/B000063UZW/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1385180860&sr=1-1&keywords=switch+16+port

Thanks for the help

hi, need alot of help.... i seemed to messed all up, before i can open the config page, then i edited something on the IP stuff, the upper most space where you input IP address and stuff, then i click save and restart, then the config page never opened again...

im using a asicminer cube btw, and my router is zyxel p2812...


the main problem is i cannot open the config page anymore... thank you so much..


if anyone is willing to help my via teamviewer i am giving a .1btc reward if you get to fix my issues and run all 3 of my miners. thanks.

  It's working!! not sure what I did, refreshed a bunch of times. Bitminter shows 11.3 Gh . We'll see if I can do it again when my other 3 get here. Can you use the same worker for all of them, only change the IP? Still have to figure that proxy, thanks

  I filled out config box like you showed at bitminter with my worker:password,worker:password  still nothing. What's secondary DNS? I didn't change that, same as yours. Primary DNS I used the pc's IP I'm doing the config on. Running windows 8.1 if that hurts. Have 5 other pc's and a netbook going also all have their own IP address
If I take the fan off this thing it gets pretty hot, if it's mining it's not for my worker.

The easiest thing would have been to change the IP on a single machine, manually configured to 192.168.1.x
Then connect to the blade 192.168.1.254:8000 in browser
Then reset the blade to desired IP 192.168.2.x, gateway 192.168.2.1 (or whatever your router's current setting is)
Then set your machine back to its original IP, probably autoconfig, and load the config page from 192.168.2.x:8000

Changing the router settings could screw up connectivity with every machine on your network, especially if there's a mismatch between subnet and gateway settings, and every machine on your network will have to pull a new IP to function properly on the new router settings. Manually dropping a single computer to the blade's subnet, then changing the blade's IP to your router's subnet, is less likely to throw wrenches in various works.



Sidehack; How do you power your blade? I saw in your overclock pictures that you use yellow,red,black? Is that correct?

ASICMiner Configuration page indicates hash rate is ~2GH, yet Bitminter's stats monitor page indicates my blade is producing 10-11GH.  (Bitminter accepts get work protocol and I am not using stratus proxy.)

When the Blade first powers up the GH and efficiency increase to a max of between 4 and 6 (with efficiency getting as high as 70% on occasion).

PSU Configuration: Using the recommended Molex from two different rails with doubled-up ground wires on each of the two ground pins.  Have tried different PSU's, from inexpensive to mid-priced and different rails and power pin combinations.  Results are always the same.  GH's race up to 4-6GH, then quickly erode to ~2GH with Bitminter's GH measure stabilizing at 10-11GH.

Which is correct measure of hash rate?  Blade's own Configuration page or Bitminter's stats monitor?

  I tried to do command line in mining proxy for scrypt when all the litecoin pools went stratum, don't understand how or where, read everything I could find, still couldn't figure it out.

  I don't have a picture but I wired mine with a spare psu and used the cpu power wires because it had a 8 pin conn. and 2-4 pin conns. which i cut the plug end off the one you don't use for a 4 pin

  motherboard. 2 yellow 12 v and 2 black ground I put one wire per hole in green connector, that gives 2 12v power and 2 ground wires. Each wire should be 18 ga. and can take 9 amps, that should

  be plenty of safety. With the blade chip side up, connector plugged in towards you, yellow 12v + in 2 right holes, black wires in 2 left. Even though mine has not registered a single hash it gets quite

  warm and the wires are cool to the touch. Now if I can get it to mine. I'll look for info on proxies. Now I know why I didn't buy an erupter blade.....

  Oh yea, the pc I'm trying to set this up on I'm mining 25 block erupters on bfgminer and one 5830 scrypt on cgminer, thats not too much, is it?

Bru, do me a favor, take pictures of your PSU , How you have it being powered.
   

 Okay as far as the proxy goes. open a cmd prompt.
 its a dos based appication, you cant just double click and let it run. it must be ran from the cmd line

  if i remember right you should set it up like
 proxy.exe -h (give you a list of the cmds)


 proxy.exe -o stratum.btcguild.com -h 4829

 then in the configuration page of blade, set the server address to the pc ip address your connecting to.
 192.168.1.3 or whatever and the port of the proxy.exe

 Sorry not at the pc i set up my proxy on. so again this is rushed, Im still having problems with my blade. It resets at 2:15 min and i get 4 x's at the end of my chip line... FMLLLLLL
 and this rev2 board has no documents regarding it at all, i got the green pcb!!! FML FML FML

 but yea please if you could take some pictures, i wanna see how it setup to see if i did anything wrong. altho i get power to mine, i can get to the onfig page, multi meter at the green post reads 11.9 volts.. i just dont know wtf is going on... thanks

  Now I cant get it to connect. I filled in the config page with my user name and password, opened mining proxy. How does it know what pool to connect? I just open the mining proxy, I cant make any changes to that?

  I have a version 2.  The instructions say to add 2 pools but it doesn't work when I try that.

  How do I point it to a pool?
