Title: Antminer does not power on
Post by: WHAM! on February 28, 2014, 03:58:34 AM
Relatively new but I have a few working successfully.  Just received another, does not turn on.  Green light / red light r24 come on, blink, nothing else.  Fan kicks on for a second then off.

It is not the power supply -- tried one running a different miner, same result.

Supposedly new out of box --

Thoughts? 

Ethernet light works, cannot access though.

Your title is a bit misleading.

Your problem has nothing to do with power.

Your problem is your network settings.

Make sure that you have the right settings and then connect to your Ant.

Remember most Ants delivered lately come with an IP: 192.168.2.xx

You probably have an IP address conflict, especially if the new Ant has the same default IP as your older ones.

Are you getting a solid green light on the nic?

Try putting another ant beside it and connect the controller on one ant to the board on the other - this will tell you if the fault is on the controller board or not?  (you will need to swap both ribbon cables and power the board on the known good ant:)

With the newer ants the fan kicks in only after it has been mining for several seconds and has built up some heat. If it is not mining, the fan stays off.

My title is misleading.  When the 4 pin wire connecting what I will call the chipset to the board is unplugged... everything kicks on no problem.  When the left board is powered solo and I swap the fan to connect to it, no problem, green hash light even lights up.  (well, the problem is without the ethernet slot powered, the asic is useless)

I am thinking it is a problem with the chipset that is connected to the ethernet port or with the wire-- thoughts?

Network settings are correct, but I cant even get to that point because I cannot connect to the device.

This is the 12/16/13 batch ... I HAVE 3 OF THEM THAT WERE DEFECTIVE now

do you have enough power from the PSU?
