Re: Official FutureBit Apollo LTC Image and Support thread
I've had 2 original apollos running for a while now and more recently snatched 2 new one's units (which I was too lazy to set up until now).
Anyway, I connected one of the new units yesterday without a hitch, and the same with the 2nd new unit today. But after shutting them all down and rebooting 3 started hashing immediately, while the most recent unit refuses to start. I tried rebooting it, taking the card out of it, even switching around the cables, but the newest unit just won't start for me. I can get to the dashboard, but nothing works and the light stays a solid green with no flashes, while the other units are flashing/hashing away.
I didn't think I needed to reflash the card because it was working for a short time, but at this point its the only thing I can think of that's left to do. FYI I am not a hardcore miner I just wanted to get a taste for it with your easy to use Apollos. So I can definitely be missing something that is obvious. Any tips would be much appreciated

try reflashing the card - you could test this easier by taking the card out of the other new one and put it in the one that isnt working - if that works, then I would say you need to reflash the original card.
as for having 4 of these miners, kudos! If they were a bit cheaper or there was an actual ROI to them, I would have a shit ton of em lol but I have one of these and one of the GekkoScience Terminus R606 ones on my desk - makes for a good convo to share with people when they come over.
I ended up reflashing, but I'm still stuck with the message "Miner offline; try to start".
If nothing else they act as excellent heaters with potential
