i still dont understand
To fix the A4 the 2 hashing boards must be Re-Flashed with a special Jig that re-programs the hashing boards. These Jigs are very expensive so Inno has shipped one Jig to forum member Longsnowfm. But there is only one Jig that needs to fix all of the A4 miners. So the group here is deciding what is the best way to get all miners fixed with just one Jig.. Hope that helps

To add to that the jig appears to be pretty fragile so the idea of shipping it around the US to fix the miners is probably not a good idea.  I wasn't aware just how fragile this thing is until I saw some pictures posted of it.  So having the jig stay in one place is probably a good idea. 

I would offer to flash them here, but I know my full time job would get in the way of me being able to process these in a timely manner and getting these back to everyone quickly.  So finding someone the community trusts to handle their miners would be preferable.  This is a huge obligation that cannot be taken lightly. 

The good news is that after reviewing the customer list we are down to 34 miners in the US that were purchased directly through Innosilicon.  So maybe this won't be as big a problem to get everyone flashed as I initially feared.    Just as a recap this only affects Batch 1 and Batch 2 miners at this time.  If you have a Batch 3 miner you do not need to flash your firmware.  You are already running the most current firmware available.
