yeah thats what I am doing...
with firefox hitting ok, just says sending request which is the request to send the file but just times out
with chrome and IE when that starts the S5 stops mining as if it now knows a firmware update is coming but times out.
firefox that never happens.
very odd, never had something like this happen before, annoying cuz I want that newer manual fan control firmware installed.
Normally if you have a time out during a firmware flash it can be bad news... you really don't want to lose power, timeout, etc. It can lead to a brick in some cases. Not all but some will be bricked.
Honestly if it is giving you those issues I would leave it. S5 miner's are really not quiet. As far as comment above you should easily know if S5+ it is marked on it and has 3 of them. I only had one of the S5+ but it was also a great miner. But I think he is talking about a regular S5 from what I'm reading.
