got my third and fourth machines today one works fine the other seems to have a dead ethernet card. any info on trouble shooting it, thanks
yeah fairly desperate .
Dead or Malfunctioning?
I just received my second two and they set up ok but next morning one had 8 X's (reboots got it to 1) and then login issues with the ant and putty.
I followed these steps precisely again and again and never in the same order:
Turn the power supply off and on
Fiddle with the jumper on the 24 pin plug
Hot reinsert the power connectors and jiggle to ensure good contact
Reinsert the ethernet cable and jiggle.
Push the reset button for 4 seconds while everything is on.
Push the reset button for 20 seconds while everything is off.
Shut down and swap power connectors
Push and Jiggle data connectors
Learn a new kind of patience. I gave up and walked away, minutes later the thing sprang to life.
Its now clocked at 400 and no X's or overheat.
Go figure
dead.
this never lites and it lites on the other three units
and the RMA process offered was not acceptable. in order to get a replacement controller/ethernet card cross shipped I was asked to send them a 1.35btc deposit.
considering that a complete new machine is 1.37 btc asking 1.35 btc to get the part sent first is wrong. I then feared what if there is another problem. I spent a long time looking at the machine and found other problems. see below. So i have a brick
the loose cap this is a problem
crooked solder job but most likely not a problem
crooked solder job this looks like it may be a problem
