Hello all. My newish z9 minis in the videos below will not boot up or show IPs on my network. Tried everythiung the manual said right up to using the micro SD to flash em. No luck...

On control board has solid green/red and orange (ethernet) lights, the green ethernet light blinks as it's receiving data. One z9 mini will not light up at all. Hash boards are mint, so I ordered 2 control boards, but in the mean time, does anyone know what the heck is wrong? both fans immediately start up upon plug in (though no as fast as they used to?)

I had both up and running! Another 4 of these puppies on the way! (dont pay for electric and I got em for 300/piece w 1800w PSU - steal!) Please help

https://vimeo.com/316057226 <- wont turn on at all.

Solid normal/fault (3rd green light on control board blinks?) ->

Are you _sure_ you properly followed the microSD flash? If that didn't work and they didn't come online as a "V9" before you installed the Z9 firmware over it (as the instructions say), then you either didn't follow the instructions, have an SD card that doesnt' work with them for some reason, or they are actually dead.

What happened to them? When were they last working?

Are these ones you bought used?

efudd himself!! it's been over a week now. I have 4x more arrivinng monday and two replacemenbt control boards for these soon after. I, too, would think they're dead, but the fans start and they most certainly draw some power. I am fairly certain I flashed them correctly. I will try once again right now and let you know.

Thanks so much
