I have taken some advice to reflash my sdcard with settings from canaan-creative to test my raspberry, but it still won't work. It also won't connect to my monitor via HDMI. The special adapter shows a blue and green light, and the controller itself shows red, green, and orange.
Here are pictures for examples.

And yes, I am a beginner so I'm desperate to fix this before the deadline for refund.
Thank you for your time
I managed to solve that..just need help getting cgminer to recognize my avalon. I changed the ip to static and on the CGminer API log it reads
Socket connect failed: connection refused
