Title: Antminer s7 firmware problem
Post by: JKMines_104 on December 08, 2017, 01:38:15 AM
Hello, this is my first time using this site. (and no offense, but I hope it's my last because I'm only here to get help.) First, I'm 14 years old, and have an Antminer S7. It's been running smoothly ever since late January of this year. Just a day ago, the red LED came on and it stopped mining. I went to the IP and it had x.x.x.x for hardware version, and no information for cgminer version. I troubleshooted some and found out it was that the firmware had been lost. I reflashed a new version of the firmware, and it didn't work. I reset it using the button next to the LEDs. That didn't work. I've been kinda sad, as I've made over 7K with that machine. Please help.


                                                  Sincerely,
                                                         A very confused kid

Hi,
Try moving the question here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=40.0

There will probably be more people that can help there vs the bitcoin technical support section.

Good luck!

If CGminer is not running you will not see all of the info on the status page. You say you found out the firmware was lost. If the firmware was lost you would never be able to browse to the web UI to see anything. Check in the kernel log for errors, that will tell you whats going on. You probably just have a bad fan or something simple.
