Sent a broken Titan module and a month later got a 100% working one. Am I lucky or is KNC doing a better job of supporting their customers.
No your not lucky most people here are scammers ,,
I Had 2 broken neptunes and they were replaced within 48 during working week.
I had a broken BEAGLE bone littele black computer with blue leds.
and got a new one within 4 days.
but for the beaglebone its easyer to just buy one
http://www.adafruit.com/product/1996 and replace and flash it your self.
KNC uses a oler version of the Beagle bone REV a6 or a6a
the A6 version has a but that it will not start because of bad flash memory.
the BBB is ab OPENSOURCE development board , that means always work in progress.
Sadley most buyers are consumers who dont have any clue about tweaking,
So I guess thats why knc stoped selling miners.
and only chineese firms are selling now...
they dont care about consumer right , they simply dont count in china.
Always with the incorrect usage of "scammer".
So now we're all liars and KnC is glorious, lol. Glory be to KnC! (bows) haha. Many people, even on the now dead KnC forum, have had RMAs take a month or more, so that's nothing new, or lucky. Living in KnC's rectum probably gets people fast RMA times though. Mine took 2 weeks from when KnC got it, to when they shipped a replacement back. Was about a month total with the shipping time.
Again with the bad BBB information.
Whoever archived the KnC forum should look for KnC's response about the newer BBBs and post it here. I think it was in reply to fabulouspanda asking if a new one would work, but I couldn't find it in Google's cache. He was one of the people shafted for over a month on his RMA. I remember them saying that the new Rev C wouldn't work since it used a newer OS, or some such thing, and the firmware would have to be rewritten for it. Also, every single KnC BBB I've seen is a Rev B6. I think even my old Mercury uses a B6, but I'm not sure on that.
If you don't want to waste your time and money, then make sure you buy a Rev B6! Maybe KnC is wrong (wouldn't be the first, or last time) and someone can get a new Rev C working, but I sure wouldn't want to be taking that gamble.
