Topic: What if your Avalon breaks? - page 2. (Read 2685 times)
there does not seem to be any warranty explicitly stated on the avalon website.
Contact Avalon and order a replacement?
So, what do you do, after (hopefully) receiving your Avalon unit, it (suddenly) stops working (properly)?
It seems like it has an ATX power supply, fans, an USB hub, 3 ASIC modules, and a ARM based controller.
If power supply, a fan or the USB hub break, no problem, go buy another, replace and you're back in business.
If an ASIC module fails, given the fact that the unit is modular and expandable, it has a good change to work with only 2 modules. Maybe Foundation (or Jeff) can help with a 15 minutes test, disconnecting one of the (hot glued) USB cables between USB hub and one of the modules? 44GH/s is better than nothing, until a replacement part arrives.
But what if controller fails? Disaster! Maybe there's a possibility to put the firmware (or part of it) on a wireless router (w/USB) with the same chipset? Any idea anybody?
