Doesn´t your TV have a HDMI input. Use that as a monitor. I bet your image just doesn´t boot up.


I just got my bitfury today and I must say I am quite pleased!   Thank you Dave and MegaBigPower Team!!!! Grin Grin Grin


I had to make sure ALL power connectors were plugged in on the V. 2.2 boards:   12v, ground, 2 x pci-e.  I had to make my own 12v & ground connector from a AT to serial sata power connector.  After all of that I still had to connect the pi to the TV because the config was asking for an IP address after you login.  It would ask you to set the ip address.  After that and a sudo shutdown -r now command i had an ip address.  Once I had the IP I could ssh or web tunnel in.  I still had to go in and change the gateway ip and the subnet mask for the network adapter...this allowed the miner to actually mine and connect to the pools.


I've been messing with hardware, linux and embedded operating systems since the late 90s....this would take an amateur hours or days to figure out.  Looking back on it...there are only 4 ways to modify the configs...either hook up s-video / component video, use hdmi tv and a usb keyboard, flash the card with latest build, or use a card reader that will allow you to edit the configs and save them.


I hope my experience helps you guys out too.
