Currently i cant get IP address
but i have tried several different items from
bitmain support when the files that were supposed
to did not work , i will experiment further in due course
but currently its goosed

I do have a question that might help me as i am not sure about
it

when you copy the firmware files over to SD card , do you extract
them to the card or just copy them over
Even when i extract them over to SD card , some of the files
are still zipped on the SD card , its confusing

You have to extract the file on the SD card, but it is 100% normal that some of the extracted files are stil compressed, no issue with that.

Did you follow these steps ? Did you do all the steps including the ones with the jumper to move ?

Did you give a try with the following step too ?

4. Unzip the downloaded  t9+-SD Tools.zip and copy the contents to the MicroSD card.
