Of course... the start that we are referring to is that it does not start the device. That is, it doesn't show anything on the screen, but if it turns on, the refrigerator can be heard and the network LED blinks.
If you are using the HDMI out of the the Apollo a black screen does not mean it isn't working
It is more reliable to SSH in using another computer http://futurebit.local might work or find the IP address from your router are just some of the options

Okay, so what you're saying is the unit is actually turned on and the fans (refrigerator) are running, but the computer screen is just blank, yes? If this is the case, it could be any number of issues. However, let's look at these possible causes . . .
First, are you trying to connect wireless or with an ethernet cable? Can you see your Apollo listed in your network or router? If it's not listed then focus on that problem first. Also, it only works reliably on 2.4GHz wifi networks, not so well on 5GHz or mixed.
Are you using a browser on a separate computer to connect to the Apollo through your network or are you using an attached monitor and keyboard to the Apollo itself? If your using an attached monitor there might be an incompatibility issue. Try using a different monitor or simply use the web interface from another computer to connect to the Apollo using the IP address providing you can see your Apollo listed in your network.
Cheers!

We have bought an Apollo II, we are in Argentina and we still couldn't get it to start, we have flashed memories but it's still the same, can anyone help us?
We have support but we didn't hit the right button either.
The idea is to buy others but we need this equipment to work correctly.

Hi Mariojosegallo,
Your question is very difficult to decipher as currently written. I understand there may be a language barrier here but put yourself in the reader's shoes and try to understand the confusion. In other words, the more specific the information you can provide the more helpful we can be . . .
1) Being in Argentina shouldn't be a problem or make a difference with the exception of the power supply and / or language of the interface. Are any of those issues a problem?
2) When you say you can't "get it" to start, what are you referring to? . . . the node, the miner, or the power? Each one of those will have a different approach to fixing.
3) When you "hit a button for support" . . . what are you referring to? And what was the "wrong" button you clicked? Are you referring to the link to the Futurebit support webpage? If so, you may need to email them.
If you don't quite understand the questions above, perhaps you know someone else close to you that can help to explain the technical problems to us that you're experiencing so that we can be of more help.
Cheers!

What is the light on the front panel doing? Red flashing, Red Solid .....
What is the Apollo II displaying at http://
can you ssh into the Apollo II?

Added the user to the dialout group? <-- what the heck is a dialout group?
Yes, Standard unit is connected via usb
The dailout group is the group that is allowed to access the USB ports it comes from the old days of modems I guess
Have you restarted the machine since adding your user to the group?
In htop do you have a line starting with
./fututrebit-miner -comport=/dev/tty......
and maybe if you are logged in as root
screen -r
may give you more information?

Node is working but hashboard is not. I have a standard unit connected to the node, and that IS working.
Any steps I can take to get the hashboard in the node to work?
Thanks!

Have you added the user that is running the miner software to the dailout group? I assume the standard unit is connected by USB?

Has this update been released my Apollo hasn't seen any communication from Houston
and looks sad with error on the miner screen
From this monday i got an error every 24h
[GraphQL error]: Message: Int cannot represent non 32-bit signed integer value: 2262360428
[GraphQL error]: Message: Int cannot represent non 32-bit signed integer value: 2262360428
This is a known issue, update to fix is a little late but will def be out next week.
FYI it's just a front end bug and does not affect the miner or node operation.

Has anyone tried to mine solo DGB in a NOPE Stratum pool with Apollo II?
I am receiving "Unknown stratum method" in my own pool and no Shares Accepted/Submitted while other miners from Mining Rig Rentals have no issues. (Found block!)
Is it possible to install different miner SW (like cgminer) in the node?

If I understand you correctly, you want to mine Digibyte using the Apollo II. Yes? Well, if that's what you're trying to do all I can say is that the Apollo II works with somewhat proprietary software that mines BTC only. I don't believe you can run CGminer in the "Apollo" environment, Although you might be able to run it outside that environment on the Linux side of the full node unit (it is a full computer) - but why? If I'm misunderstanding your question I sincerely beg forgiveness. Please give more information.
Cheers!
Hi, I am just trying to mine something with less difficulty just for testing/learning purposes. I have a full node Apollo II
For now I have install BCH core and a ckpool version for BCH and looks fine, at least accepting and submitting shares. I have also some Bitaxe pointing to it.
Bu no luck with the DGB pool. Shares not accepted.
Testing XEC now, much smaller difficulty. Let see how it will go.
All these tests are just for hobby/educational purposes only.
Interesting what you're doing but it's above my pay-scale
as I haven't used DGB or ever tried to mine BCH with the Apollo. I have mined ckBTC but that's a no-brainer. Someone with more experience here may be able to jump in and help you. Sorry. Good luck my friend.Cheers!

Thank you.. If it fails again I'll give this a go!
Yes, you can I do it via the web based UI with the Format Node SSD selection under SETTINGS / EXTRA. Give it enough time to format (there's no status bar). Once formatted you can either start node (if it doesn't start automatically) or reboot. Personally, I prefer a fresh reboot. That should do it (unless the actual drive has went bad or maybe it's not seated all the way).
Cheers!
Hi,
My miner has been syncing the blockchain for several days and I'm unable to ever reach 100% synced blockchain. It reached over 95% synced but the following morning its dropped back to 81% synced so I guess there was some issue and it's starting re-syncing again (maybe corruption or something).
If I wanted to clear the whole BTC block database and start again in case of corruption can I do this via the web based UI or do I need to manually clear the blockchain directory ? - /media/nvme/Bitcoin
I see Format Node SSD on the Web UI but I guess this would also wipe directory structure.

1 Your cable would be the determining factor, you can use either
2 USB controller limitation is 7
3 Your extra unit could be a standard with no computer
2 USB controller limitation is 7
3 Your extra unit could be a standard with no computer
3 questions
1) I'd like to connect a second unit to my V1 node using a USB hub. Do I use the USB-C on the side or the USB-A on the back?
2) Is there a limit to the number of units I can connect to a V1?
3) Whats the spec difference of the V1+2, because the V1 is running a on a pi - is the v2 also running on a pi?
Thanks!
