I have an old little antminer u3 that I use for solo mining in hope of hitting the jackpot, and it's worked pretty well for as long as I've been using it.
So I threw it in storage and wanted to try the jackpot again, but only one of the 4 chip LEDs are lit and I'm getting exactly 1/4 of the 63 GH/s rating.
So the math adds up to 3 of the 4 chips not working and a confused miner holding an old U3.
Any programs I can use to diagnose the chips not working? Or even better, something to help me get them back online...

Probably broke during storage, especially if it was working well before.
Could probably use a multimeter to test the hardware, but that won't help you fix it if it's truly broke.

I'll try that! However the living chip is the closest chip to the power input that isn't working, making me think there's a problem with the 2.5v tabs at each corner.
