I will be restoring old photo posts here.
In the meantime I will move forward with testing my AMT 1.2 miner.
Thx for your patience.

Ok. I've added a real power supply to the equation. The power supply I'm using.  The connections on the fans are 3 pin. On the the controller board there are two set of connectors that may be for the fans. Since there are no instructions or tech support from AMT who knows which one will work. The 3-pin fans only work in the 4-pin connectors on the control board.  The power is turned on, the lights come on, and after a few moments the fans spin. So far so good.  Next up are the blades. But first I have to find a long ethernet cable. be back shortly. |

Good you got it working... hope I can get mine working with your help! Anyway, this is what I got when they shipped it:  I may be able to salvage 3 boards... the other two have their power connectors ripped out due to shipping... hope AMT gives will let me RMA the boards. |

Regtable said it is a floppy drive connector that powers the back-plane. |

Anyway, this is what I got when they shipped it: I may be able to salvage 3 boards... the other two have their power connectors ripped out due to shipping... hope AMT gives will let me RMA the boards. From what I can see in your picture it looks like only 1 board is salvageable. it looks like the others are separated from the heat sinks. From the sounds of things you want perfect contact to dissipate the heat. very hard to tell from the photo though. Honestly if it was me I would just pack the whole thing back up and send it back. Even if I had to pay the shipping, I would not want to be responsible for trying to fix that. You are kidding about the manual, aren't you? They have had a broken web portal up for months that is supposed to have all this info in it. They paid for a video that was sent out to editing about a month and a half ago that still hasn't seen the light of day. They said on friday that by the end of the day they would post details on setting these things up but instead decided to open 2 new threads and lock the old one and then disappear on us again. I didn't opt for the kit because I feared something like this happening and was not willing to forgo my rights to a working, profitable miner due to AMT's incompetence. |
