leiyplane, you seem to have 2 if not 3 decoupling capacitors at the 12V input that burned out. Maybe faulty caps. Can I offer to buy your board for 2 BTC? Or I can offer to fix it for free if you want it back... I can cover shipping costs. I would be interested to study the board in my hands out of pure curiosity. Email me at m.bevand at gmail.com
Also, the people recommending you a higher wattage PSU are wrong. A 3-module non-overclocked Avalon draws only 500W @ DC (12V + 5V + 3.3V). A 650W PSU is plenty enough (~77% load).
I suppose that you could fix this by yourself, it is very easy to get such components at electronic shops. Or you sell the chips and make BTC right away
He ought to sell it to a developer. I am sure they would love to take an early look at one of the modules to get a headstart on the open equipment version.
P.S. Whatever you do, don't sell it to anyone at BFL. They will reverse engineer the Advanced ASIC technology from the Chinese people.
We can pool some money together and send it to BKKCoins... he is the one on the cutting edge of an open source Avalon DIY PCB... can we make an offer?
Damn, the Avalon components are worth something even when they break down. Might as well be solid gold.
Well the chips are...
I would rather he gets it fixed and keeps hashing... but damn it be nice to get some of these chips in designers hands today. The DIY avalon will be the way we the people can keep pace with larger entities who are building larger and larger farms.
I hope you can take your module in and get it fix OP... I am sure you can find someone to do that but if you can't let us help you scavenge it for the DIY Avlaon community out there.
I'm not plan to fix it, I think the PCB is broken up.
I hope my experience can help other people, if someone(Avalon Customer) have the same experiences with burned module board, and let Avalon BOX resume operation faster.

"the power supply is antec 650W, there's no problem with PSU."
You need a higher wattage supply. When you run one that close to the limit, you highly increase the amount noise on the power rails. The component failure on this board is probably related to that.
I experienced the same problem a few times. U have 2 options: - relaunch client with -rescan (voodoo magic, sometimes works) - wait for 24 hours, the transaction should appear in the blockchain or funds will come back.
Thank you for the suggestion.

Topic OP
send BTC from BTCGuild.com, but I can't see any transaction info
I have received my second Avalon, I will light it on tonight.
Both of my order have all received.
congrats. When order were shipped according tracking info or documents?
Thank you. There's no tracking info before I received Avalon.
SF-express call me yestoday, tell me there have a big package to deliver tomorrow.
SF-express waybill must have number above barcode. Usually this number is tracking number... (at least at EMS, DHL and others companies...)
Yes, I just get the tracking number when I received the package. But right now, waybill numbers are not here, so now I can't tell you when order were shipped.
SF-express usually deliver shipment within 1-2 days in China, 3 days at most, a lighting fast express company.
