I bought I Canaan Avalon 1246 from Blokforge.

It hashed for 1-2 days then died. No hashboards working.

I contacted them and after a week or so got new firmware emailed and then installed it. Now at least 2 or the 3 boards are hashing (so not losing 100% $ and time).

They passed me off to Canaan directly to get warranty work. Spoke with Canaan rep directly in China through whatsapp and he said he would send a new hashboard to Blokforge and then Blokforge would send to me to install myself.

The issue is

1: Im new to asic mining;
2. Ive never repaired or even tore down an asic miner;
3. There is NO videos on the 1246 or something even close I can find doing it on youtube or elsewhere that Ive searched.

Help please!
