Every time I update the pools through the DragonMint dashboard the system resets and shuts down.  I check the firmware area and it says it is up to date.
How can I mine if I can never put my pool/worker/password in properly?

Try other browsers or in incognito mode.

Let me ask if what the exact unit model of your miner? Is it the Dragonmint T1?

If it's T1 try to factory reset the miner on the dashboard or by holding reset/IP button for 15 sec then try to set the pool again make sure no extra spaces.

If not work try to flash it you can find the firmware from this link below.

Or flash it with BraiinsOS through SSH follow the guide from this post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2443327.msg55525315#msg55525315

I don't own any Dragonmint, although I have set up some for others, I can tell you that these gears are a piece of ****, you going to need a lot of luck to get them to work.

What you describing seems to me like a hacked or defective control board, I doubt that the normal reset method will work, Halong is long gone as far as I know and so that support/firmware options are very limited if any, I would take the short route and SDcard a bootable version of BraiinOs.

It is a Dragonmint T1
I have tried the reset button but same thing happens when trying the pool update.
Unfortunately I am a windows/gui guy and the BrainsOS flashing thing is going to be agonizing for me.
It's the 21st century.  Why are we still doing this command line crap?

When you have no other options you are forced to use whatever tools at your disposal, you bought a shitty mining gear before doing your own research, that was a mistake that you have to accept.

There is a bootable version of Braiins, you could try that and see if it fixes your problem, later on, you can flash the firmware if you are happy with that, if you face any difficulties in the process, you can always ask in BraiinOs topic, someone should be able to help you.
