Title: Avalon 1041 help
Post by: smracer on April 07, 2021, 02:28:52 PM
I have a bunch of Avalon 1041's (They are 1046's but they say 1041 on the side).

Every once in a while,  one of them will just stop mining.  They always do the same thing.  I am attaching a screenshot of the log and status screen.  Has anyone seen this before or know how to fix this issue?  Maybe a PSU issue?  If it was a bad hashboard you would think it would mine at a lower speed.  After reboot they just come up the same way.  I have been just putting them in a pile and grabbing a new one to replace them when this happens.  I probably have 20 with the same issue.

Any help would be great.

EDIT: SOLUTION.  If anyone has the same problem.  It is the small PSU fans.  One of them freezes up and needs to be replaced.

can you just add another one in series and plug it into the control box (raspberry pi module) and have it "just work"?

I think yes if it does not have Ethernet socket then it requires control box/Raspberry pi and auc3.
However, base on the old guide from this link below it is already have a built-in controller so you don't need them in order to communicate to the unit unlike old models like 721, 741, 761, 821 and 841 that requires both auc3 and control box.
