Hmm looks like current control and/or one of the voltage controllers has gone bad on the main board. Unfortunately stuff like that is hard to fix without a full hashboard replacement. What mode were you running it on?

Not sure exactly what it was set to. It stopped working some time about a year ago, I did not have time to muck around with it at the time. I think it might be the OrangePi that stopped working, because it just did not boot any longer. It was running the FutureBit OS from SD card, with a second Apollo connected to it by USB cable, both with 200mm fans on top and stock fans replaced with something that spins down to 1500rpm when not hot. Set to minimum noise to heat the bedroom at night and to start mining by flicking the power switch on (no monitor attached).

I had tried all sorts of settings before using it as the bedroom heater and it was running quietly for several months before it stopped booting up.
