Hello,

has anyone had issues with their Neptune cubes not hashing? basically being completely dead? long story short, I recently got some busted up Neptunes off ebay that listed that they may or may not work. well the only thing that works is the controller board, but all 5 Neptunes are dead. They are detected by the board though, but do not start hashing at all. additionally, the 'advanced' page shows some VRMS with 0 current output, but it seems the temp sensors are working, however the wattage never jumps up past 10 watts or so on any board. I loaded 1.06s and I was hoping to just dust them off, and have them start up, but no luck. I will take any and all troubleshooting advice at this time. thank you!

I'm not too familiar with them, but they look like dead cores or dead VRMs to me.
Some users here may be able to explain how you can tell the difference between dead core and dead VRM.
Some of my cubes have only 6 or 7 of the VRMs actually showing a normal voltage and amp value.
Some are either very low voltage or very low amps, but I don't care that much since I paid them knowing they weren't perfect.

If by chance you're in EU, I may be interested to buy the full unit (cubes+controller) depending on what you are asking.
One day, I'll find some time to play with the dead units I've collected.

thank for your reply. I am still playing with them, and hoping for the best still. However, i have been messing with the commands in SSH mode, in particular what 'waas' tells...here is what i get at this point...

i have 4 modules plugged into ports 1-4 on the controller and it seems it is having problems updating the modules' frequencies. I will post more details later today when i get home.

Try to hit reset to factory defaults in the advanced tab.

After that, lower the frequency settings to 400 instead of 475

Thanx for the info, however i have tried just about all frequency combos and voltage levels... no change. The more i mess with the 'waas' command and others, the more it seems like the communication side of the modules is dead. it can very well be possible that the ASIC and VRMs are fine, there is just no way to control them at this point. I have plenty of jupiters now, and when they go 'dead' sometimes, i usually get them back with the 'enablecores.bin' firmware again. i could not find a file like that for the neptunes though, but that would be great at this point! or even a bertmod version with a little more control and/or info on what is going on with the modules.
