After running the blades for 2-3 weeks, they both started to slow down to like 1-4 GHS. I don't know how or why. I tried resetting the PSU but it didn't help. The blades heatsinks are pretty cool not like before. So I decided to factory reset one of them and see if it will fix it. I shorted 2 and 3 with a screwdriver and then the green LED start to blink. Then I tried to go to the config page http://192.168.1.254:8000 but it didn't work. Then I realized that the blade is not turning on anymore. I tried turning off the PSU and switching different calbe, it didn't help.
Please help me out here.
PS. I have the other one running, but it's still slow.

Is the fuse blown?


How can I check?

You will need a multimeter to check it.  You can take it out of the socket and measure resistance across it - if it's open, it's blown.  Or alternatively you could leave it in circuit and powered, and measure the voltage on both ends of the fuse.  You should see the same voltage on both ends.  If you don't see any voltage on one end, it's blown.


I checked it and it's blown. I need to replace it, do you know store like radioshack or walmart sell fuses that I need to replace it?

I doubt RS or Walmart will have surface mount fuses.  Places like Digikey and Mouser carry them.  Someone posted this a couple of pages back:
