hahaha, went away for the weekend before I posted this.....
Tried to reseat the fuse and power connectors on the hub and found the 40A fuse all melted and burned up. Apparently, there was a power outage while we were away.
Those hubs are made vary cheaply with low quality components. They where never designed for the USB miners specifically.
To this unit's credit, I scrapped a bunch of charred plastic out of the fuse housing, replaced the fuse and it is now hashing away again with a new, beefier PSU (36A +5V rail) the unit I bought was the ASICMINER hub. I was surprised it still worked after seeing all the melted plastic from the fuse. Fuse did not trip, it just melted all over.
But what I need is a link to the software to change the serial numbers so they can be indivudualy chosen other than by com port number.
I need the software as well. Win7 64 bit. I was able to remove all the com ports with the link provided, show hidden devices trick.- Thanks wpt1wpt1 !
