Hi Guys,

I have a Blizzard which died (Zeus have already sent me a replacement), essentially it doesn't get detected by any COM Port on any machine. There is no smell and no visible burn sign of any kind. I have tried connecting to a PI as well but it also won't detect.

Any other options you guys can think of?

Just a quick question. Did you forget to do something simple? Maybe you didn't install the virtual port software required? Don't forget to check the simple stuff first. It's happened to everyone whether they admit it or not. The simple bugs are the most frustrating.

Edited to add some things that have plagued me:

1. A bad USB cable
2. A burned out USB port on the comp. (Lost power at the supply and the miner tried to pull enough power from the USB to run. ouch)
3. Virtual port software crash. (Yep the software was installed and suddenly quit working, reinstalled and it worked great, for how long who knows?)
4. Antivirus software attacked my miner software. (Hit it on the nose with a rolled up newspaper and added my mining software folders to the "exceptions list")
5. Firewall suddenly decided my miners were not allowed to connect to the internet. (Same solution as the antivirus attack)
