@Amph, your offer sounds good, but I won't make a decision until tomorrow.

@J4bberwock, the miner is not being properly recognized in windows. Windows detects something, but not the same as with the working miner. Mining software does not detect the miner either. I assume a defect with the USB chip. You could perhaps connect some of the internal blades to a working miner, or try to replace the USB chip / circuit.

I'm out for now, checking back tomorrow.
