Ok before you do all that try this.
Go to settings, set to custom miner mode.
Set voltage to 777mv, and keep frequency at 598 (eco).
Because this movie quote just says it all....

Once again, on both secdsm pool and litecoin pool.

Hmmm very weird. Keep these settings, and do a full system shutdown, unplug from power, then start it up again.
More or less the same.
Different PS & different network location (tech bench)
I can take it apart and try a reflow in the morning.
-Dave
umm definitely don't do that. Shoot me a PM, will most likely need you to send it back.
But I like taking things apart and trying to fix them :-)
Because it worked for hours before going funky I am thinking either SD card is having issues or something that was not attached to it's solder pads well and it separated.
It is a new SD card, but it's a Microcenter one so I'll try that tomorrow.
If not I'll get back to you after Christmas about shipping it back.
Thanks,
Dave
It wouldnt be a solder issue, it would not work at all even if one chip had a problem. You didnt overvolt or run it in turbo did you because this type of error sounds like heat or voltage damage.
Either way would like it back in its current state so we can diagnose it properly.
Got in early the AM To test.
New SD card fixed the issue for a little while. Figured it was just a bad card, have seen that from time to time. And the pretty GUI keeps you from seeing all the errors stream by.
I tested the pulled card and it failed basic CHKDSK on windows so good guess on my part....Or so I thought.
Back to the same after about 3 or 4 hours, reboot / crash and 1000s of discards / 1000s HW errors.
Pulled card and ran CHKDSK new card failed too.
Putting in "name brand" (sandisk) card now.
Hoping it's just the Orange PI does not like the microcenter cards.
If not I'll swing by Brooklyn after the holidays and you can figure it out :-)
-Dave
Ive been using the Microcenter cards for a few weeks now so don't think its that. Could be a bad controller then. Just let me know when you can send it over and ill figure out what it is.
