ROCKBOX RMINER-32

[enhancedfuel]

I got one of these. Plugged in. Originally fan spins round but could never get blue light or connect to pool.

Out of nowhere one day blue light comes on and hashes lovely 36ghs for about a day. Then fan stops spinning and can smell slight overheat. Fan has never spun again and may as well be a brick. Obviously it overheated but has anyone else had this?

What a waste of money if they are that easy to overheat in a day. I don't they are the best made things.


The above is not my miner or laptop but pretty much how I had it set up.

Many thanks. Tom

your gear  most likely is fine.  most likely your power brick is dead.

read the power brick specs  are they 5 amps and 12volts  dc ?

How old was your miner ?

maybe must reinstall drivers, for gridseeds must do something to charge usd drivers and miner go available, using Zadig usb port.

maybe you have a cortocircuit, if fan cables are burned becose they are touching the core, this can be a reason for fan stop.

I had 3 of these connected to a single Raspberry Pi for well over 6 months. I had a single ATX supply for the 12V to these, and the 5V to the Raspberry Pi. It ran un-touched for those 6 months at a steady 96+ Ghash. Supply good power, and a little ventilation and they will run fine, in my experience.

I had 3 of the big ones on a rasp pi and did 390 gh rock steady using a seasonic  psu and ran the rasp pi off a 5 volt cable on the same psu.

The power bricks and not run this gear 24/7/365 unless they read 6 or more amps at 12 volts.

I used to have some 10 amp 12 volt bricks for running gridseed blades  they ran the little round ones you have very well.

Well that sounds promising. I will try the power brick on something else and try another source. The only thing against your theory is the blue light still comes on when plugged in. Just no spin Thanks

Brand new. It had sat on my shelf in the box for a few weeks first but pretty sure no harm came to it there.

Drivers all working fine. The biggest joke is for one week the fan span fine and could not get it to hash! within a day of blue light and hashing dies

This cortocircuit sounds more likely and I think something has burnt out in it. Unfortunately I am techy on computer but would not know where to start with fixing wiring/circuit boards etc. Thanks

Yeah this is what I thought, they have good reputation if not a little fragile. My supply was 12V too. It must have been damaged in the shipping. I have picked it up a few times etc but in now way to damage it.

Well I guess if it's dead I got nothing to lose but open it up and try and fix it!

Thanks everyone for your comments. Much appreciated.

I'm gonna go through every amp supply I have in house that is similar volts and see if I can get the f*cker to spin
