Yep.  Sad

I wonder, would you be willing sometime to SSH in again and see if we can get it working or if it's the same issue?  I'd definitely pay you for your time.

Sure, we can give the reset procedure a shot that may be reasonable to try... I should have time tomorrow evening, roughly 20 hours from now  Smiley

I will drop you a note. Let me know if you have any developments in the meantime.

Also, what was the logic behind the new power supply? What were you using before, and what did you change to?



Well, what happened was people suggested the firmware might need resetting, so I did that but then had a problem getting it out of the firmware reset mode.  I eventually was able to, and then Tom SSH'ed in to a fresh install of Ubuntu where I had not even installed bfgminer or any of its dependencies.  Tom installed bfgminer, still couldn't get the system to recognize the FPGAs, and then asked what power supply I was using.

It was this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Coolerguys-100-240v-Molex-Power-Adapter/dp/B000MGG6SC/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1368337840&sr=8-7&keywords=molex

Apparently it wasn't powerful enough, so Tom advised that I find the cheapest PSU that I could and then connect the black and green wires to allow it to operate without a motherboard. 

For that, I then bought this PSU:

Received it yesterday, so I did some searching online and found good instructions.  Ended up using a paperclip to connect the black and green wires, which seems to have worked as the MMQ fans and everything are running from it now.

Tom said this would be all that was needed and then I'd just be able to get the MMQ to mine without issue. 

I tried, but received exactly the same errors as before.  Undecided  No improvement.

I'll make myself available tomorrow evening to do this, so just let me know when you're available.  Smiley  Thank you again!
