if you see sometime: 3 non working dies ( with a config a) , and then only one non working die with another config , that's not necessary mean you have a broken chip.... and if i ask , it's only to help you ....
cheers.

. i already had some sick output on some of my miners, and squelching errors, but all is solved now.
i hope you can find a solution to your problem.
Well I tried all the miners with all the firmwares at pretty much any clock rate (even lower ones)
Your help is appreciated, I asked because if you had any indication that cgminer 4.2 on ubuntu 13.10 with FW 0.4 would solve my problem, I would try that again, to make sure I didn't miss something.
yup ! i tell you that cause one of my 9 bj's i had got a similar issue , and i can solve it in this way.
bye bye windows, bye bye piece of shit raspberry pi , bye bye "hashfast special version of cgminer".
hashfast: go to hell ! and Ckolivas: Thanx a lot man..
