OK my road is open again Smiley

Home we are still with limited power only. Out of 3 phases only one is working from time to time... Not sure how much you know about electricity but generally that means that I only have power in every 3 device or power socket... Also only 2 lights in house are working... But luckily central heating is working again Smiley So I'm totally fine with things as they are...

In the time I was cut from the world MrTeal did send me posible fix to a problem. Will do my best to test it ASAP... Let just hope that today's weather predictions are wrong and I won't end up cut away from the world again. More ice rain and now also some wind...

Grate out of power again...

Hi Lucko........
When this finally gets to you..........
(UK) We have winds, flooding and fallen trees, but not much snow .... yet...... and the power has stayed on where I live.
 The cables for the street lights gave up about 5 weeks ago, so its dark outside.

Thanks for update Lucko, We understand how is difficult to test these boards without a reliable power source...

** off topic
Here we have also some trouble with weather, wind and sea related, but is small annoyance if compare to most of north Europe. But always someone is able to take advantage of situation:

OK back... Well it is not that much problem only of power but internet working at that time on cell phone... It is hard to mine without that... ISP couldn't even give me a estimate at the moment when I will get internet back. So mobile network is overloaded...

Anyway I hope all this get fixed soon...

About the fix I got some PMs. It is replacing 4 capacitors and reprogramming VRM...

Wow.  I looked at some pictures from over there and it does look pretty severe.

I hope the world gets back to normal for you soon over there, and also that you're no longer sick w/ a fever while all that's going on.

water in the distance is not a lake... All the snow and ice that fall over last days malted and there was also a lot of rain... Floods... I live at this location now for 3 years and we never had them till now... But we had 2 in last 2 mouths... We have 2 roads. One closed by all the trees the were broken by ice ran and one that was open officially 3 days ago(it was posible to drive on it 4 days before that but sometime you had to wait for firefighters to stop removing trees and clear the road) just to be closed back 2 days ago by water... I'm starting to fell like I'm in 3th world country... 60 hours without electricity and still not stable road close all the time unstable signal on mobile internet only on mobile...

Hi,

where can I find the firmwares & flash-tool - any idea? I look around everywhere... 3 boards make some problems (SICK) and I want to test around if another firmware can fix it.

Thanks!

- Hope everything is OK at you Lucko... was it snowing strong again?

I have 2 of Lucko's boards. One of them runs better with the 1.1v limiting fw, while the other works best with the "standard" fw.

Thanks I found it later - it`s located in the 2nd thread of the Mr. Teal Chillie post.

Lucko any updates about the last missing 6 boards of my order?

I tested if my car can get over one of the lakes and I got stuck there... And got 500€ mechanic bill. I'm not ready to risk it again... All the wood that has broken off is stuck in rivers and all melted snow and rain combines into making a nice lake... I will see if TNT will be able to get hire today. I have it ready but just not been able to send it...

I have one board what stoped working - in Windows it`s just named "unknown device" & not loading the correct drivers (so I can`t flash it too).

I too asked Mr. Teal: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=304250.msg5476664#msg5476664

So if that f****** chip  Wink is dead - woukd it possible to replace or repair this one?

... thanks for a quick update & hope everything get better in Slovenia.

It is getting batter. We didn't have strong rain for a week now... I think we will get "connected to continent" today...

Yes I looked. It sounds like common BFL not just Chili problem. FTDI chip... You might just need to reprogram it. See if you can detect it:

FT_PROG utility: http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities/FT_Prog_v2.8.2.0.zip

if so this is a template

Thanks Lucko - no chance to get it back. Too the FT-Prog will not detect it... seems the chip is somehow gone. Do you think this is repairable by soldering a new chip (and what is such piece costing)?

I am a complete noob on the hardware-side....  Wink

Talking from memory but I think it is about 10$ or something like that... And you need hot air and steady hand to replace it...
