hello everyone.

I just registered to ask my own question. I am having an issue with one of my ASIC miners. 2PAC BM1384 USB Stick Miner.

I have 2 of them. one is working great and currently on a pool hashing away.

the other one has been giving me a headache.

down to the point. i installed the USB drivers using zadig. both were detected. both drivers installed. one USB is working. the other isnt getting detected by cgminer. i did some self troubleshooting like using a different machine with the one that is working. It works fine on the other machine. the one thats causing an issue doesnt work on either machine.

one machine is windows 8.1. the other is windows server 2012 R2. (dont judge, i plan on going to linux once im comfortable enough with how these things work.)

any idea onto why cgminer isn't detecting the USB? is it possible that its a defect? I hope not. it took a month to get here. it shows both USB sticks installed with no errors in device manager.

any ideas or suggestions?

thanks.
