Hi all,

I have a pair of GeckoScience Compac-2 stickiminers running on a windows 10 machine. I don't have any linux machines at home so this is what I'm stuck with. I went away on a business trip and the windows machine rebooted and my batch file doesn't restart so I had to do it manually and when I did that, I got nothing but usb write errors. I found a newer version of the code online (thank you), I'm now running 4.11.1 which tries to recover from the usb write errors and it seems to be dealing with the chips a little bit. But one has been placed in OFF mode and the other is getting write errors about 75% of the time. I searched the thread for 'usb write error' and the only hit I got was for the announcement of version 4.10.1 release indicating it would try to autorecover from this error.
Can someone offer me a suggestion or two on how to deal with this? Are the chips dead? I've been running at 156.25 MHz with no HW errors for about a year on each with fan cooling.

Thanks,

Tony
