You need a higher wattage supply. Not anymore! He's down 20 Watts  |

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

I'll offer 1 BTC to buy the fried submodule.
PM me if you're interested.

I suppose that you could fix this by yourself, it is very easy to get such components at electronic shops. Or you sell the chips and make BTC right away  I agree you can better fix this yourself, just replace it and see if it burns out, if it does something is drawing to much power.
"the power supply is antec 650W, there's no problem with PSU."
You need a higher wattage supply. When you run one that close to the limit, you highly increase the amount noise on the power rails. The component failure on this board is probably related to that.
Thanks all of you for advice. |

Good to know. I'll make sure to oversize the psu when I build mine.

leiyplane, you seem to have 2 if not 3 decoupling capacitors at the 12V input that burned out. Maybe faulty caps. Can I offer to buy your board for 2 BTC? Or I can offer to fix it for free if you want it back... I can cover shipping costs. I would be interested to study the board in my hands out of pure curiosity. Email me at m.bevand at gmail.com
Also, the people recommending you a higher wattage PSU are wrong. A 3-module non-overclocked Avalon draws only 500W @ DC (12V + 5V + 3.3V). A 650W PSU is plenty enough (~77% load).

I am sure they would love to take an early look at one of the modules to get a headstart on the open equipment version. P.S. Whatever you do, don't sell it to anyone at BFL. They will reverse engineer the Advanced ASIC technology from the Chinese people.  |

We can pool some money together and send it to BKKCoins... he is the one on the cutting edge of an open source Avalon DIY PCB... can we make an offer? |

Damn, the Avalon components are worth something even when they break down. Might as well be solid gold. |

I would rather he gets it fixed and keeps hashing... but damn it be nice to get some of these chips in designers hands today. The DIY avalon will be the way we the people can keep pace with larger entities who are building larger and larger farms. I hope you can take your module in and get it fix OP... I am sure you can find someone to do that but if you can't let us help you scavenge it for the DIY Avlaon community out there. |

Or I can offer to fix it for free if you want it back... I can cover shipping costs. I would be interested to study the board in my hands out of pure curiosity. Email me at m.bevand at gmail.com
Also, the people recommending you a higher wattage PSU are wrong. A 3-module non-overclocked Avalon draws only 500W @ DC (12V + 5V + 3.3V). A 650W PSU is plenty enough (~77% load).
+1 Love the people in this community! |

Thanks for your advice. How about my 2 BTC offer? Not high enough?  So how about 4 BTC to buy the broken board? |

I hope my experience can help other people, if someone(Avalon Customer) have the same experiences with burned module board, and let Avalon BOX resume operation faster. |
