Just received my New R-Box and very puzzling thing happens when I try to power it up, I have tried 3 different PSUs and when I turn them on I get nothing from the R-box and in all 3 cases the PSU dies instantly when I plug the Miner in hot. I suspect there is something wired wrong in the New R-Box but before i go rooting around in it I thought I would see if anyone else has had this issue. Thanks in advance.
Probably worth opening it up and having a look. What power supplies were you using?
I have a CoolerMaster 460W, Solid Gear 400W, and also tried an Ultra 650W. The CoolerMaster and Ultra were in machines with mother boards and the Solid Gear i jumpered the pin-out as instructed in your guide.
I did go ahead and open it up and outside of one dollop of white conduct paste on the pins of the Power connection (cleaned off, tried power up again with no success) there does not seem to be any errant solder.
any sort of voltmeter/ohmmeter tests I should try on the New R-box? or is it DOA?
It seems unlikely that it would be DOA, these are pretty simply machines but I have nothing other to suggest.
