Antminer S9 SE- No green or red light / Yes orange light but no green light

[jakepug2019]

Hello,

This is my first time posting here so please understand if I make any mistakes.
I bought an AntMiner S9 SE 17TH with the Bitmain APW7 110/220 PSU from eBay a few days ago and it has arrived.
I plugged them. I saw both green and red lights on. I was happy.
Then I tried to reset the miner by pushing the reset button for 10 seconds.
The green and red lights were on solid for 2 seconds then turned off.
The instruction states that the green light should flash after 8 to 10 minutes.
I have waited more than 30 minutes but no light was turned on.
So, I tried the second method, which is to reset the miner by powering it off and pressing the IP Report button for 5 seconds as I turn on the miner.
Just like before, the green and red lights were on solid for 2 seconds then turned off.
I have waited more than 2 hours now but no light turns on.
For ethernet, due to the location of my internet modem, I used an ethernet outlet on the TP-Link wifi extender.
As I plug the cable, the solid orange light turned on but the green light never turned on.

What should I do? This is my first ASIC and I have no idea what to do.
I should have studied more before buying one, but please help me.

What instructions state the 8 to 10 minutes crap? ignore that, when the two lights stay solid and then go off, in most cases the reset is complete, the green light won't come on after the reset because the S9 SE comes without any pool/worker details by default, so you will need to find it's IP address and type that into your browser, enter your pool url/ worker/ password and hit save, wait a few minutes that miner should be up and running assuming it doesn't have any other issues.

Hello,

Thank you VERY VERY much for replying to my question! I was so nervous.
How do I find its IP address?
I heard I get to see its IP address by
- plug in ethernet plug that is connected to a modem
- go to IP address of the modem
- find this miner at connected device list
I am using TP Link wifi extender that has an ethernet outlet because the modem is in my bedroom.
Would using a wifi extender to connect the miner cause any malfunction?

Thank you!

No, as long as your router has DHCP enabled the miner will get an IP address and you should be able to find it in the DHCP client list, an easier way would be to download something like "angry IP scanner" which will scan your network and show the IP address of all miners connected.
