Isopropyl is common, used in first aid. I found 91% Isopropyl at Walmart only a $1 or $2 for 32 fl oz.
I think I would go with the 91% they also sale a 70% strength.
They only sell it as a jell at Walmart Canada. |

It's just rubbing alcohol are they afraid you going to drink it?

Hi All, This is a screen grab from my 4 module. Is the miner count correct at 24?  Thanks! No, for 4 modules, it should be 32. Set it in the configuration tab. |
I try to be respectful and informed.

Maybe! Ha Ha! I think they do it have, the Canadian website isn't the most up-to-date website compared the the US one. I think its probably because they have been drinking the rubbing alcohol!  |

Hello all. One of my units stopped so I restarted it a few times. Fans would spin for a few rpm and then stop. Red power LED and intermittent yellow one. I was able to connect via internet as normal, but showed 0 work being done. Looked inside, PSU cables looked potentially a bit loose so reseated. Turned the unit back on and a plume of sparks shot out from a corner of one of the modules. Looks like a resistor had melted:  Questions: 1) Is it safe to test the Avalon without this module? 2) Is it safe to test this damaged module without the last 2 chip units in? 3) Does that last 2 chip unit have any value to anyone? Cheers guys. Avalon is sleeping for now. |

If you're 100% sure none of the other modules are damaged and the PSU is safe to use then yes you can remove the damaged module and continue mining with the others. |

If you are unable to get that damaged module working again I would be interested to buy it from you.

That's a capacitor, others have had the same failure. You can mine without that module or you can just disconnect power to the affected miner by cutting or bending the pins on the hash panel board that plugs in from the top. The psu should be fine, most have over-current protection now. |

I will let you know. Doesn't seem to be any other damage than those 2 chip banks so will likely be functional. Rest of the unit working without the entire module for now. That's a capacitor, others have had the same failure.

The square thing is a capacitor? |

The 2 identical parts near the burn are capacitors.

Yes the 4 tan colored parts, you can find drawings here https://github.com/BitSyncom/avalon-refI've seen shots of those caps and the 680uf black caps fail. Also be careful not to bump the larger round silver caps like C5. They dislodge from the pcb rather easily due to poor soldering. |

Hey everyone,
I've received that voltage regulator that seems to have burned out on my buddy's Avalon clone when he plugged PCIE power in the EPS plug on the V1.45 Avalon controller board. I'm gonna go pickup his miner and start the surgery. Just in case I bork it / this doesn't work he's already ordered another controller module. I'll take pics of the inside of the unit and it's layout and of my work and post them for your perusal.

All, I attempted to upgraded my firmware about 25 minutes ago on my shiny silver, Gen1, 4 module Avalon unit. I retrieved the firmware from https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon#Firmware. I just tried to login to the web interface to see how the upgrade went and now the web interface will not display. As well, btcguild says the worker I have assigned to that miner is idle and has not submitted work in .... oh say .... 23 minutes. From all of this I surmise the miner is not behaving properly. Do I need to power cycle the unit and/or if I do will I brick the unit? Many thanks for your reply. H@shKraker edit: I also cannot ssh to the miner now  |

Just got a used 60gh Avalon. I hooked it directly to my computer and configured exactly as my 120G model. When I connect to my network its not visible. I cant even ping it.also I tried wireless and it doesn't scan any networks. Everything seems fine when Its directly connected. Any ideas? Is it possibly conflicting with the other?
Thanks

Did you check to see if it's on the same IP address either of your 120GH Avy which you just said you configured it the same way as. You can only have 1 IP address in your network, no two devices can share an IP address. Or is it still using 192.168.0.100 (defualt IP)? |

Question about the Avy controller board, on it where each of the modules plug into, the board has Data P1, P2, P3 and P4. Does this mean I need to plug each module in accordingly, ie., the first goes into P1, 2nd module into P2, etc?
Thanks
