Are you using separate setting settings for BTC vs LTC?  These are mined  in two different ways so if you are using LTC settings on BTC, chances are it wont work.

Upgrade your cgminer.  They have rewritten the way USB works with Icarus units https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.msg2507736#msg2507736

Also, if you are not using a powered USB hub, you should. 

If that does not work, try using BFGminer.

Update to the latest version of cgminer, 3.2.2, see if that doesnt change something.

System restore back to before you did the AMD update and see where that takes you.

Im not quite sure I know all what is going on here.  Only thing I can think of is if you are using Minepeon, and  USB device to mine with, that CGMiner sometimes (depending on what you are running Minepeon off of, like I use RPi) has problems with USB devices that arent plugged into a powered hub.  The solution has been either to get a powered hub, or disable CGMiner in Minepeon and enable BFGMiner.  Virtually the same program, but BFG should work.

If you are going with Minepeon, you dont need the rest of it.  You really dont even need number 2 as the Minepeoon wiki already exists that gives you step by step instructions on how to download, write to an SD, configure and run on an RPi.

So just like crazyates said, its already readily available and actually easier for you to do yourself than trying to get someone else to do for you. If you are looking for help, or someone to sit on IM and talk you through it, thats different than asking for someone to give you some solution.  Or maybe thats the solution, getting someone to agree to sit on IM and talk you through it, or Teamviewer into your system and do it for you.

You are right, Im sorry, I was delivering a FULL solution to you, you only want half (maybe I believe in doing work myself and able to trouble shoot all problems and getting it working and making sure my customer is happy, but hey, maybe I am just a stupid little troll like that for caring....)

Solution #2
RPi image that can be burned to a SD card with updated version of BFGminer, instructions for finding your IP address for the unit, configuring Minepeon, and getting up and running, BTC0.5.

This has become too funny.  Here, a solution.

RPi running latest version of BFGMiner (at time of installation), full instructions on setup and running the unit (including color screen shots and a glossary of instructions to change, view, etc options if needed), BFL Jalapeno, ~$300 for equipment.  Cost for labor ~$150. Time frame, 4-6 months depending on availability of Jalapeno unit.

Requesting something be "retard" proof is just code word for graphical to me, as most "retards" prefer the pretty colors and buttons that come with it, not monochrome command lines.

Let me break it down to you like this, again, what you asking for while simple in concept, isnt simple in execution for a third party, and is actually easier for you to do on your own. You can sit here and keep bashing everyone because no one is chomping at the bit to provide you with this service, but really no one wants to put the effort forward for something that appears to be so simple that someone can take a little time out of their lives (certainly the time you have been using to post multiple threads on this same subject, and reply to people ridiculing them for not answering you or providing you a solution) to figure out how to do it with online instructions and YouTube videos, rather than be condescending to anyone willing to chime in with their opinion.

But that right there is probably why you do not have any replies saying they have a solution, because the miners you are requesting, are either not readily available, or are at fairly expensive prices.

You either have to pre-order something like a Jalapeno through BFL and wait until your order is filled, or pay $300+ for FPGA USB Erupters or Icarus boards to only get a few hundred megahashes.  Again, you want to spend that much money?  Yeah, the low wattage is great, but compared to where the difficulty is going, this is not even a dent in making your any coins.  So that means getting them in mass in order to get it to a place where it becomes at least viable (by my estimates at least enough to get you 1GH/s of power to maybe generate 1 coin a month, that means over $1200 for FPGA solutions).  That also means that, at current prices, would be over a year before you even recouped your initial investment, let alone began making profit. Again, is this how you want to spend your money?

Now you can get an ASIC miner that ships immediately, but that costs BTC50, or at current prices $5000, that will put out 10GH/s.  If you have $5000 to spend on one, then okay, lets talk.  If not, then maybe sticking to a traditional GPU setup is the way to go.

You arent, but you are asking for someone to provide this full solution for something that realistically, shouldnt take more than a half hour to do.  Getting a RPi, writing the image (which already comes with updated versions of BFG and CG that have support for BFL, Icarus, etc), booting and configuring and getting up and running isnt time tedious.  So for most people they are looking at it confused as to why you you just dont do it yourself.  And asking for graphical solutions and things just isnt going to happen for something that you want that is going to be basically headless and just run and do its thing. You can get a listing of simple command line instructions do do what you want, but there will have to be a little know how and learning on your end, but once up and running then it should be something you set and just go.  Check back daily to make sure its running, and reboot if need be, but other than that just let it go.

I have my RPi running my BFL Jalapeno.  It just sits in the corner mining and other than checking on it a couple of times a day at the pool that I am currently mining with to make sure its still online, I dont have to touch it. No need to update my BFGminer as doing so isnt going to get me any performance boost.  And Minepeon that I use on my RPi has a web interface that I can use to change pools anytime I want.

So yeah, I could set you up with something, and even give you instructions step by step on what to do once you receive the items and get them setup, but it would take me more time to do that, than its going to take you to do.  Is that what you want to spend your 1+ coins on?

Yeah, I would say your optimal solution here would be an RPi with Minepeon installed, and a  powered USB hub.  Updated versions of CGminer and BFGMiner, and instructions on how to update programs if need be.

If you supply the parts or cash for the parts, finding someone to do this wouldnt be hard to do as its not something that should take anywhere near a lot of time to do.

You might also try moving your mem up to 200.  There may be a setting (either GPU wise or in CGminer) that doesn like your mem clock and GPU clock to be so vastly different.  I run my 5870 and 5830 with 925 and 200 settings each.

Yes, but if you scroll further down their drivers support page there is a link for USB drivers if need be.  Could be something in their official drivers that might help.  Manually update the drivers with this.

On a side note, there is noted problems with getting CG to work with its latest version and some BFL things. Its hit or miss.  But try the manual update of the driver and see if you might get lucky.  If not, only thing I can tell you is switch to BFGMiner and run with it.  Works just the same as CG.

Very true.  The solution that comes with the kit has the anti-corrosion in it.  If you use distilled water then yes you will need something for that.

Have you tried downloading the USB driver from BFL's website?

Yeah, I have blown two 5830's and a 5870 because of running fans to high.  Currently I have one 5830 being cooled with a zip tied on 92mm delta (nice noise from that) and my other cards are watercooled.

Huh, wait, waaaa???  I am lost on what you are trying to do.  The USB connection on the back of Jalapeno is for data.  It has its on separate power connector.....

I bought a kit that came with whatever blue coolant, works just fine.  Watercooling a 5870 and 5830 with it with a dual 120mm radiator, keeps them about 40 or so, depending on my ambient heat.  I used 1/2" OD 3/8" ID primoflex tubing with the regular fittings, no compression.

I used a kill coil.  Way less fuss than having to worry about oil or drops of whatever.  Just stick it in the reservoir and call it a day.

Stupid question, did you download the drivers from BFL?

Could not tell you.  I know when I had my 5870 running on Windows before switching to BAMT, I didnt need dummy plugs, the drivers worked just fine with it.  Maybe try scaling back your drivers to something older in the 11.x or 12.x, getting rid of the connect on you 5870 altogether, and seeing what results that yields.
