Title: ASICMiner block erupter is not working
Post by: leowonderful on February 08, 2015, 12:52:55 AM
Driver won't even install.
Did someone sell me a broken miner?
If so, I probably won't buy from a website like amazon ever again.
Nothing recognizes it, not even BFGMiner.

Maybe something is wrong with your usb connection. Try it on a different pc.

Should be a decent return policy if you got it from someplace like Amazon.  But, maybe there are some other things to check too like the others said.  Could just be a simple setting overlooked.  I agree with the device manager comment.  Open device manager and plug/unplug it to be sure it pops up and then go into that device and start looking at properties.  Could just be a driver conflict issue.  What OS are you running?  Might just need an update to the OS.

Draws more current than most USB ports provide so one needs something dependable like a D-Link 4 port USB hub.
