Title: Re: Avalon unit does not power up. Post by: loshia on March 20, 2013, 08:52:55 PM I need help troubleshooting newly arrived Avalon unit that does not power up. Since Avalon support have not answered to my e-mail, there is no link to ticket system in Avalon web store and I closely missed Nzhang on #avalon, I thought I may as well appeal to the crowd wisdom of Bitcointalk. I will start with power supplyThe unit has arrived yesterday and there was a metallic noise inside while I was unboxing it. So, I carefully opened the box before powering the box and as expected, there was one loose nut inside it. After I removed the nut, I tried to power up the unit, but no luck. There is no sound or light inside when I switch it on, the fan does not start with a well-known 'turbo' sound, just dead silence. I searched wiki and users thread, but could not find steps for troubleshooting this situation anywhere... Any ideas/help troubleshooting this issue? 1. remove 24 Pin cable and all other cables from PDu 2. Shortcut green to the ground http://www.ehow.com/how_4928308_make-power-supply-work-motherboard.html check if power off on button fires up psu fan shall start to rotate If psu is good plug back all power cables and remove power of all ASIC boards then power them one buy one while checking again and again when psu will stop Do just one move at a time and check Title: Re: Avalon unit does not power up.

Post by: loshia on March 20, 2013, 09:01:52 PM try to connect the usb directly to the board to see if it starts Dude,if it works change the usb hub Fans are not powered up? just think about it first please. Do not copy paste here. Probably usb cable is loose and fans are not working ??? Title: Re: Avalon unit does not power up. Post by: thorvald on March 20, 2013, 09:10:00 PM man if the psu works
first connect the usb from the bord directly to the wrt board if it starts that is ok if not disconnect the connectors from the avalon modules and start the process , also it can be a short in one fan you should check this also Title: Re: Avalon unit does not power up.

Do you still think that psu works or there might be a shortcut somewhere inside or PDu board might be dead Title: Re: Avalon unit does not power up.

Post by: coastermonger on March 21, 2013, 06:09:23 AM Awesome to hear you got it working! Care to post any pics or videos of the device? It would greatly contribute to decreasing the amount of FUD in the air over the mere existence of Avalons
Title: Re: Avalon unit does not power up. Post by: deathcode on March 21, 2013, 06:13:38 AM Guys, thanks for your suggestions. It turns out, the main PSU cable went loose. After re-checking all the cables, the unit powered up and is now working normally. Care to pay the people that help you a small reward? (not me, I was just reading your problem)After all, you'll be making 9k per day (or more) just saying... Title: Re: Avalon unit does not power up.

Post by: deathcode on March 21, 2013, 07:07:40 AM After all, you'll be making 9k per day (or more) One Avalon unit is currently producing about 6.9 btc per day. This will be like 4.5 btc in 3 days when difficulty adjusts. And it's even before the cost of electricity is factored in. I'm not saying this is peanuts, but it is very far from "9k per day (or more)" that you somehow imagine. ;) At 5847647.15207 difficulty (which we are not even there yet) per Day ฿5.16 $335.41 per Week ฿36.12 $2,347.84 per Month ฿156.87 $10,196.34 Title: Re: Avalon unit does not power up. Post by: smoothie on March 21, 2013, 07:09:34 AM OP, throw the unit at the wall. That should make it work.
