Anyone has seen the repeating message "New proxy version available Please update!" when checking their proxy process in the miner?
Any process to back it up and update it to a new version?

so one of my boards recently stopped working (slot 3, I have other boards in slots 1,2 5,6 & 9,10) - I tried reseating it several times and tried it in other slots (slot 6 and slot 13) with no effect. no hashrate, no heat, no detection in the stats.log file.
looking at it theres no visible problem. a bit of dust had accumulated between the inductor and the TPS53355 possibly (but not likely) shorting 2-3 of the pins ont he upper side of the chip. I dont think this is the problem, but its theonly lead i have
any easy troubleshooting techniques? I have a spare TPS53355 chip I could actually drop in if that is the issue, but i dont have the fine-point soldering skils to do that myself. (contracting out that task might work, but not sure what to look for in the yellowpages (Toronto, Ontario) to find someone capable of doing it.)
any ideas? I did not have a miultimeter handy at the time so no voltage info yet. I might have to wire up a 12V/GND to the board to check at home

Possibly something wrong with the Pi or PSU (sometimes they fail if too close to 100% load)?

I always had better luck with bfgminer than with cgminer. Over time I have switched both of my rigs back to chainminer, which I did not want to do.

Won't work on V1 board, but I have a v2.3 board coming to replace my broken V1. So I'll see if I can get the black arrow driver to work.

For one of m-boards, the cables that connect the PSU with the rPI seem to be getting hotter and hotter over time. In fact, the white connectors are starting to get brownish. I have not done any over clocking.
Another board with even more h-cards is actually cooler than the one I mentioned before. The PSU supports more power than what the set of m-boards consume.
Does anyone know why this might be happening? Any workarounds? :-/

Sounds like there is a thinner amount of conducting metal somewhere along the path of electricity. The problem may be in the cable, the connectors, the soldering, or the PCB. Hard to tell. Is the cable hotter on the side of a PSU, or on the side of M-board? Either way I would try to replace the PSU if possible.

anyone have a link to the pi image? or can i just use a standard raspbian image and then copy over the chain miner etc.

My sd card got corrupted so I imaged it again not realizing I used an old version of the image file from megabigpower. Nothing but low hash rates and 0 hash rates for 2 days. When I realized this I put a new image on the sd card from megabig, the one linked in their help file pdf. Its been running rocksolid for 2 days at full hash rate, about 30-34 ghash per card on an 8 card setup. so, make sure you are running the most current image file as it makes a huge difference Make sure you are using the correct image. On the M-Board it will say what version the board is. You can fit the V1 and V2 image on a 4GB SD card, however you will need an 8GB SD card for the V3 image. V1 (3.64GB) https://mega.co.nz/#!GZEwQRiJ!TqG52DBj07C_zGO38dhXuyeNhwZ42VB2qk2ErfsrUZ8 V2 (3.64GB) https://mega.co.nz/#!iVEwFKpT!TqRndnWurfcQ0V2gJb2sQlNcSGoMF1B7YpUoGDvVebI V3 (3.69GB) https://mega.co.nz/#!7AFVhLwQ!BmgAIx32aQQxyadT1WKdJzNOUGQAQcQgYemfSJ6kMNM Mirror: https://www.dropbox.com/s/skr9vitueeyxwmw/miner-v3-image-11-15-2013-customer.img

Did you ever figure out what was wrong with your H-Card. I own a lot of these cards and I have at least 16 dead H-cards between all my rigs that I'd like to get them up and running. I did once observe one H-Card pop and I saw some smoke and definitely could identify the electrical burn smell. I determine the 30 amp fuse on the board was no longer allowing current to go through so I desoldered it and replaced it with another fuse. Unfortunately that board no longer works and the board looks completely fine. The other 15 or so defective boards between my other units also look good but don't hash.

Even sometimes just wiggling around in the slots will cause a small short. I had a box fan pointing at one of my rigs and the constant wobble eventually caused a slot on the M-board to not work. M-boards are really picky, at least the 3 I have had and now I have 10 cards and no board to run them on.

Check your voltage with a meter, if it says 0.6...0.75 youre good, just the first chip if youre lucky is gone. Sometimes some sort of short in the spi chain can go wrong and it kills the whole h-card, finding it is quite challanging but doable. As i have posted earlier, the 2.2 mboard can be modded with other type of connector. the one i posted sit on 2 mboards they are gold plated and tight the rigs are running for months and are imune to power outs as the bfsb image sits on an usb stick and imune to airflow as the connectors are doing their job. I could try o repair them or buy them from you faulty.
