Is my Avalon broken? I received mine after the time window said on the usb chip issue, seems like I was dumb not to check, now on vacation and far away from home, and my friend is helping at home. It worked fine for 2 month now at 350 mhz and started to act wierd yesterday.
With the built in router it seems to work for about 20 min and then stops working. On a computer I get the following in cgminer when i try to mine with it:

under linux with lsusb i get:
Bus 002 Device 010: ID 0409:005a NEC Corp. HighSpeed Hub
Bus 002 Device 011: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC
Seems like the chips kinda still answer.
oh yeah. Its a 3 module one, and cgminer wants per default at the computer to start with 32 miners (like a 4 module one).
My friend near the avalon had to go, but will later open it up and check the controller board for version and for any molten chips. He also said he heard a kinda clicking sound, not directly from the power supply as far as he could locate.
Do you guys think its more a controller board issue or is it the power supply?
thx already for answers,
