Title: My asic miner has stopped working! Please help
Post by: Sam-Ainsworth on January 11, 2015, 07:59:08 PM
I have had my asic miner running for days in my raspberry pi and a USB 2.0 hub but today when I disconnected them both it stopped working. I've ran it on my window 8.1 machine with the hub and it works fine. I then thought that it may have been BFGminer so i installed CGminer and its still not mining. It says its running at 333mh/s but no shares are being gained plus the light turns solid, then goes off for about 10 seconds then goes solid again.

Please help.

First try plugging it in directly to the USB port on the computer to see if tis the miner or the hub. Maybe the hub burned out or is causing to low of electric to the miner. If you test it/them on the computer directly and there is no problem, either replace the hub or Just unplug it and plug it back in until it begins working. Maybe you had the FREQ settings to high and they got so hot they melted or burned something inside the hub. Mine do that all the time and just by unplugging them and plugging them back in they initiate :)

He already test that. It's clearly stated on the OP.
