Hi folks
I was mining with my Erupter Cube when suddenly it stopped working. The green light goes on, but the status light and the ethernet light doesn't.

I was mining at HIGH(38gh/s) clock.

I've tested the power supply and it's okay. The fuse is also okay since it didn't break the wire it has inside of it.

Any idea of what that could be?

Thanks in advance.

It overheated? Blown a cap? I'd also try a differend network cable as those things are crap most of the time...

If by cap you mean capacitor, I'd say I don't know. I'll open it up to see If I can find anything.
About the cable, I think it's very unlikely to stop working out of nothing, right?

I'll try other cable just in case.

Thanks very much for you response. I appreciate it.

EDIT:
It's hard to say it overheated since is kind of a relative question.
I would say I'm pretty sure it got to 60˙C

EDIT 2:
Okay, tested the cable and It was OK.
And nothing's wrong with any capacitor. Would a picture of inside the cube help?

Check the fans.  The cubes have a failsafe system where if the fans fail, the cube won't operate.

Have you already tried a reset with the button between the ethernet and the usb port?

Sorry for not answering quickly. Thought no one knew what my problem was.

Well, I think I mentioned that I was mining at high clock(38gh/s), what's the downside of it? Could that be the reason why it wont start up?

The fans are functioning OK, I can feel it running.

About the reset button, I tried pressing a few times, nothing happened.

Thing is that it was working alright, out of the sudden it stopped.

What could it be, please help me.

Thanks for the support so far, guys.

I also have the cube and was told that running it on high all the time would shut the unit down. The fans may still be operating but won't be pushing enough air to meet the fail safe limits so it shuts down...but if that was the case you would think that after it cools it would start right up again, if it doesn't then you may have a more serious problem. I have never ran mine on high. Wish I could tell you more, just throwing in my 2 cents worth.  Huh
