I got a LA6M but, unfortunately, one of the controllers is broken Angry

. One controller conects to my router without any issues but the other one is not recognized. It just blinks but the nothing shows up on the router. If I swap it out, the other controller works fine. Ive tried switching cables etc, but nothing fixes it. What are my options now? I am trying to run all 20 on one controller but it lags, restarts every 5 minutes, and I cant get more than 3mh total out of all 20 miners. It took so long to get the LA6M that I have doubts that I will be able to get a replacement controller from asiabtc within a few weeks. Is it possible to buy the same controller on amazon and add the default gridseed firmware? Is the only other option to hook half of them up to a computer and run them that way? I would like to avoid direct usb to computer because I wont be able to deactivate the sha-256 option. Any other ideas?

If you compile minerd from here https://github.com/gridseed/usb-miner/tree/master/software/cpuminer it will scrypt mine from a computer without the SHA256 core enabled it. I tried it last night on a linux box and it worked fine, though my hashrate wasn't any better than with the controllers and my computer didn't like when I reset the power on the miners (it acted like it ran out of usb tty connection so wouldn't open new ones). I'll probably just stick with the controller but if you need something that will scrypt mine without wasting power that's an option.
