Dang, I had it up and running and then had to go change something.
First start had no display and forum help said to pop out card, back in, reboot. This worked… DHCP assigned an IP and it was displayed in the LED. So far so good.

I logged in, changed the password, and Hostname to AntMinerS4 (I also have an S3 so I added S4 as not to conflict with DNS name).
Changed Pools and all worked great all night.

So here’s where it goes wrong. I went to the NETWORK tab and changed the Subnet to 255.255.255.0 and the Gateway and DNS to my Router, 192.168.1.1. I had NOT yet changed the setting from DHCP to STATIC before hitting SAVE and APPLY. Once the S4 rebooted the LED displayed the local loopback 127.0.0.1 instead of an allocated IP. So, I rebooted again and this time I have no display again.
I’m trying to do a factory reset on it and just leave the NETWORK setting alone but can’t seem to get the unit to reset. Not 100% sure how to do this. From what I’ve read, you press a paper clip into the small hole at the bottom left of the LED panel for 3+ seconds to reset. I’ve also read the red light will blink and then it should restart. With the unit on, when I press the paper clip in and hold for 10 seconds and remove, nothing happens…

Am I doing something wrong in order to get the unit to factory reset all settings?
