Not quite sure if anyone experience this problem. My last batch of 60 avalons had pretty much 50% dead AUC3 converters. The little light turns on but the green/blue light doesn't.

Anyone got the same problem? Anyone know how to fix these little buggers?

https://canaan.io/ still off line.

30 dead auc's = really bad.

I know you have a lot of experience. but maybe if you use a really good brick they would work

now to make really sure enough power is going to the rasp pi buy this

and finally use that same one

to the auc

so anker brick > dual usb micro usb cable >>> > rasp pi 3 >>> dual usb micro usb cable >>> auc >>>> five pin >>>> avalon 741

about 18 months ago I did the two 25 avalon 6 group buys when auc's were bad we would do better bricks and better cables.

Hey Phil, thanks for the info as always man! I'll see if I can get these little bastards to fire up. The funny thing is, all the old ones from the last batch seems to work fine.........wierd.

In other news: 20 L3+ = 3 dead hashboard in 3 days........No RMA in sight. At this rate I think my 741s are probably gonna break even faster than the l3+'s. And those things costs MORE. What kind of world are we living in?
