I love this miner. I just purchased 5 of them off ebay for 100 dollars each.

For a little Historical art project. <3

Photos when you get them.

The red light status isnt even showing up, I'm sad Sad i bought it new from amazon and its only been hashing for about 4 months. I almost want to take the heatsink off to see if maybe something got too hot and burnt out but i dont have any thermal paste right now to reapply the heatsinks. (i hate summer time)

also i am using CGminger 4.5 on windows 7

Some one please help!!! Last night all was hashing fine and this morning my Box was zombied and now it wont get power!!! i know its not my PSU since its running my S3+ and its a cooler master silent pro gold 800w. Ive seen it zombie before but it usually would start back up after a few minutes of being unplugged. Took the board out of the box and upon first inspection no soldering seems damaged but there was an excessive amount of thermal paste all over the board( stock paste).

please help? if you can get it to work ill totally tip you some BTC or CANN

Seems like it may have over heated, do the fans still spin?

I have run into a bit of a problem this morning...
My windows update popped up an update for my silicon labs CP210x USB to UART bridge which I let it install without thinking about it.
This obviously replaced the drivers but when I run Zadig and replace them again, cgminer does not see the miners.

Any suggestions?

Manually uninstall any installed drivers via device manager, unplug, restart, replug (different USB port if you can), start again.

Does anyone have a part number for a replacement fan? Mine has seized.

Its a generic unmarked 92mm fan so anything off the shelf will do. You'll need to solder the fan cable on though.

I have replaced my BFL 12GH/s by this R-Box at 32GH/s ... here is the setting to use it (you can update the first message with the picture if you want).

Picture are here : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9848021

It's for solo mining ... replace "localhost:8332" with your pool if needed.
-u = username (on pool or RPC server)
-p = password (on pool or RPC server)

Thanks for this subject, it have guided me to choose a replacment device ...  Cheesy

PS: fan has been replaced by a less noisy ... that why the temperature is not 39-42°C ... but 61°C.  Grin no problem, and ... no noise !

No, icarus-* isn't a recognized option at all by BFGminer and is ignored silently.  It'd be properly done via --set-device icarus:

Figured that would be the case.

I don't have a windows box handy. I'd have to dig one out of storage, add a drive and reinstall windows, so I was hoping to avoid that if possible haha.

Recently got two R-Box's for a good price. Both devices are detected on my macbook. However, only one is capable of mining.

The non-mining device sometimes will have the blue light continuously illuminated (as opposed to flashing, as with the functioning unit), or not at all.  I've swapped USB Cables, USB Ports, and Power Supplies, with no effect.

Thoughts? Anyway to do a factory reset on these?

I checked though the pictures and there isn't, because its a 'dumb' mining device without a controller. It receives inputs and returns values. Have you Zadig'ed? Is it detected in windows devices?

Is there a way to underclock these so they use less power while maintaining still a high hash rate?

Thats not underclocking, that's undervolting. And no - nothing that would be worth your time or money.
