I also noticed that no lights came on on this device at any time, not when I plugged it into the computer, nor when I was attempting to mine with it... I know with Block Erupters, the green light lights up when you plug it into the computer so that you can see that it is working and that it is ready to start mining... What about DualMiner? If this device was working properly, should a light have come on when I plugged it into the computer? Or does the light on the DualMiner turn on only when it is mining and finds a share?
Is there any other software designed to work with this device that I can try mining with?
Is there any easy way I can figure out if this miner is working or not? If the miner was DOA, do I have any protection under Ebay policies?
Thanks!
You're on the right track with bfgminer. It should have permanent green led that darkens from time to time for a short moment during hashing. Sometimes it needs physical USB port unplug/plug to become live. What is Your line for starting bfgminer? Do You have it connected on powered USB-hub? If Yes try lowering working speed with --set dualminer:clock=800 or even lower (750) and see how it behaves. Units with Gridseed chips are worst quality hardware till now. Is there any other software designed to work with this device that I can try mining with?

2 out of my 5 dualminers are behaving fuzzy. No wonder if You got bad miner. If You can't mine with it, try sending it back and requesting refund.EDIT: Small switch on dualminer is on L, not on B (or D), right?
