The thing is that when I power it on, the red panel on the front of the miner lights up, and that is it, no noise, nothing, even the Ethernet port doesn't flash which you can see at the front of the miner when i plug in the internet cable. Am I doing something wrong or missing some steps out?
Open it up and see if all the connections are connected. Its possible something came loose in shipping check everything connects properly and snug, ESPECIALLY the SDcard as I think that could be the issue. That would be the first step. If all the connections are there (take pics of the inside too please?) then if the miner still does not work after checking all the connections....pull the sdcard and check that its loaded up. I can walk you through more steps on what to do next based on that. Might mean creating an image of the SDCard and uploading it. I can take a look at the logs and such since you have not configured anything there is nothing of importance on there yet.
I got it working, some bits were loose and the
red front panel gave out a spark and black smoke, disconnected it and the miner booted up. It took some time for it to appear on my network. Gonna start mining and update you guys how is the miner doing.
Thanks for the input. Here are some more images:

Something must have been shorted....well hopefully it was just the LCD and not something else.......Yea keep us updated eagerly interested in this development. And yea looks like you got a coin-craft straight out.
