Ok, noobish question here. I have the latest (old blade) revision and for some reason when I connect it, All i hear are a few 'clicks' and then nothing.
Silly question: Did you perhaps forget to plug in the red fuse ?
The newest (old) blades have no red fuse? or did mine just really freaking ship without one.. Actually, I didn't get a Green connector either.. Did my blade arrive incomplete?
Ok... So my symptom is the same as this... except that I do have a red fuse, it is unbroken, and is inserted...
Yet same problem.. I don't get any ethernet lights on my switch, the blade doesn't appear to be doing anything, even though it sounds like it might be starting up. Those clicks mentioned plus a slight hum of a capacitor
Please help? :/
OK! So for anyone else experiencing this issue.. It is resolved! (I also had the reset/dropout/low-hash issue, also resolved!)
I wasn't doing anything wrong. My PSU was faulty. Maybe it had been gathering dust too long (was from my PC since the last time I upgraded it)
Got a new PSU, just a little 350W'er, plugged it in, VRRROOOM! blades powered up no hassle at all!
Put in my 2 pools in and I had some hash, but it was slow, and resetting etc.. I was using 50btc and BitMinter as my pools... with a bit of trial and error I worked out 50btc was unstable
so I now use only BitMinter and I have blades hashing away at 10Ghs on LOW without hassle. (No Proxy)
So on that issue I'd say it's most likely the pool you're connecting to doesn't play nice with the blades miner (well, it was in my case anyway!)
Hope this helps the next poor stressed out soul that his a similar issue!
