thanks its probably a dud miner. Zadig doesnt detect it to update driver. have checked everything except a different usb cable.
the troubleshooting steps that guide offers for the R909 is if it doesnt work restart it XD.
the software i was refering to was zadig as well as other usb software ive used to try to detect the device.

Is there any sign that the unit has power(LED lights and a fan spinning)?
If it's running then maybe the USB cable is defective you need to replace it since that's the only one that you haven't tested yet or it could be the USB port is broken try to clean it with isopropyl alcohol and brush or replace the USB port.

yes it boots up, fan, leds. and motherboard leds. i tried to connect it to me server running truenas. it freezes the server XD, it wont even boot if plugged in. so not sure if thats good or bad. but it tries to do something. ive got a new cable ordered and will see if that does anything.

What exactly the software included you mean?
And what source did you download it?

Have you installed the driver? Without a driver this unit is undetectable you need to install the driver that came from Zadig.

You can follow the guide from Kano on how to install driver below

- https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer/blob/master/README#L611

Or directly download it from https://zadig.akeo.ie/

All guides and troubleshooting for Gekko units can be found here https://kano.is/gekko.php

thanks its probably a dude miner. Zadig doesnt detect it to update driver. have checked everything except a different usb cable.

Did you install the WinUSB driver?

are you refering to zadig to install winusb to the device? if so zadig doesnt detect the device as connected so no ive not installed it.

Yes, I'm referring to using Zadig to install the WinUSB driver.  So if the device isn't being recognized then you must have bad hardware somewhere, miner, PC, cable, Power Supply, ...

thanks, ive tried 2 different pcs so doubt thats its. it does power up fans and lights so not sure about power supply. it has 3 lights it looks like on the mb only themiddle lite comes on. looks white or pinkish. not sure if that helps. so probably a dud miner ill try another cable but never heard of these going bad unless extreme useage.

how do you get the R909 to work? Ive tried on windows10 and windows 11

Device not detected at all. so its not connecting as an unreconize device it just not connecting at all. have tried multiple ports ect as well. It powers on so guessing the power is good, maybe usb cable? never heard of them being bad, dont think ive come across 1 my whole life that was bad lol.
