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 heres 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.
Im trying to do a factory reset on it and just leave the NETWORK setting alone but cant seem to get the unit to reset. Not 100% sure how to do this. From what Ive read, you press a paper clip into the small hole at the bottom left of the LED panel for 3+ seconds to reset. Ive 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?

Ok here is what you need to look for. When the S4 fires back up it will try to read the SD card and the red light will flash after about 60 seconds or whatever. The you can try the factory reset which I have not tried yet. Usually the lights will blink and the ethernet lights at the cable connection/plug on the S4 will go out while you are pressing the small button.Then a hard reboot.

Now you cannot reset if it is not reading the SD card. If you get no red light again then take the card out and re insert. Then boot, see red light, something will be on the screen, the try to log in if you see the IP. If you do not get the IP on the screen then push the reset button and see what happens. Then hard reboot again. The worst case scenerio is that the SD card file is corrupted and you will have to re flash it with newest firmware from Bitmains website. I just flashed all S4's with the newest firm and gained about 5% at the pool.
