I have what feels like a newb issue, but not sure what to do.
Starter kit all set up. I think everything connected properly, no lose wires and it matches other's install pictures.
But when I turn the power on (manual switch, I get a green light), it starts but my monitor's "Power" and "Menu" light just pulse on and off. No picture on the screen. Those lights never pulse.
I just took the monitor off a working PC and it's fine. I did have to buy a HDMI to DVI adapter for the monitor but that should not be the issue.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You need to change your gateway IP address, save the file, and reboot the rPI.
You don't launch a web browser from the command line - just point a web browser to 192.168.1.249 from another computer on your network.

Redacted THANKS!!! changed my gateway IP to:
address 192.168.0.111
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1
and try to point my browser to 192.168.1.249, still cant get in ((((
thanks
The IP address is now showing to be 192.168.0.111 - point your browser to that IP.

Redacted THANKS!!! change my gateway IP to what??? I am so lost on this stuff, thanks for the help!!!!
On another windows computer, just go into command prompt and type ipconfig. check what that has for your default gateway and use the same one for your raspberry pi.
Yep - you are right. Could be either 6 or 7 with the issue. Reflow both U45 and U46 as a starting point.
Thanks guys -- I am kind of a newbie with electrical engineering, but I am pretty adventurous and have been debating getting hot air rework station from sparkfun.

Seems like the easiest way to go for reflow.
Bookmarked. Now if someone could just come up with an functional but inexpensive (USB?) o'scope link....

Can you list your interfaces?
my interfaces

hi tom ! my interfaces are some how got delete or gone(( can't found it !!!! when i did "sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces" only a blink page came up!!! i am so fucking lost!!! can somebody i could talk over phone and help me set the rig up please?? i could send 1btc for reward !!! thank you very much. (just pm me with your number and will call later today!! have to go to work now(()
you can copy above then paste it and I did change 192.168.1.1 to your router ip 192.168.0.1.
ok found the gateway IP file ) here are what they look like.
address 192.168.1.249
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
and how do i launch web browser from command line
(using keyboard/monitor to Pi) thanks !!!!

If the 6th chip is working, I think he needs to jumper the next set of jumpers to bypass chips #7 (U46), wouldn't he? SJ 55, 19, 20, and 21...
Maybe, both chips should be looked at i.e. the 6th chip might not be passing along CLK/SPI signals. I pointed out the jumpers so that he what he was looking for.
It's been my experience with these boards that bad chips aren't common, but cold solder joints are all over the place. Reflowing these chips would be my first action.

I posted this in the European thread, but I thought I would try here as well.

To get my 25 GH, I received a card that is functioning at full capacity (~19GH) and an "EOL" end of line card with is running about 6 to 10 GH. After looking at the stats.log, it appears that the EOL card is only seeing the first 6 chips.
I took some macro hi-res pictures of the chips 6 and 7 (45 and 46 labelled on the card), where the spi communication I am guessing is broken.

For the life of me, I don't see anything out of the ordinary.
The european thread seems more advanced at getting full speed out of these boards and was wondering if any experienced eyes see something suspicious.

Anyone know any useful threads/posts on the pinout of the bitfury chips or which traces should be cut/shunted to bypass a broken chip... probably chip 6 as that is the last detected chip.

See my response in the other thread. As far as traces and jumpers go, look at SJ16,17,18,54

hi everybody!! got my starter kit today, but ran in to problem during set up so power down, and now the pi have no video out (hdmi) red power light are on, can anybody help please!! never use pi before ((
thanks
thanks
You don't need hdmi. As long as you know or can figure out the IP address you can just SSH to the raspberry pi with a tool like putty should you require command line access, else just web browse to the units IP address. If its still at the default address, just put your pc on the same subnet and access the default address via SSH
Thanks Lubah!! got the video out working and able to fix Gateway IP, but now have no idea how to reconfigure pool credential via SSH? (I have a macbook pro can i just plug an ethernet cable from my laptop to the router, and use the 192.168.1.249 with a browser??)
thanks
If you have your rPi set to a good ip address for your network then you should be able to plug it into your network and then access it at whatever ip address you set it to.
ie: instead of http://www.google.com in the address bar of your browser you just use the ip address you set the rPi to.
You'll get a webpage that you fill out with your credentials.
still unable via SSH to pool credential(( is there a way i could log in to pool credential from command line access by hook up monitor/keyboard to the Pi???
If you know the IP address of your rig, just put it in the web browser. You'll see the BitFury Admin page where you can configure your pool credentials. No ssh needed for doing pool credentials.
thanks dave!! but now i am even more lost!! try to get the correct IP address by doing "sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces" now a blink page came out (((( dont know what to do !!! can somebody help
Thanks
You can check ip in your router.
tom thanks, but if that gateway IP file are blink is it a problem ?? never use a Pi before so I'm fucking lost
