I used the re-flashed retail unit with no hardware modification for an hour or so.  The mini-USB supplied power.  The Avalon USB plugged into the side.  I removed one of the screws from the top of the Avalon and fed the USB cable through the slot, and mounted the TP-Link outside the case.

I later modified this unit, I removed a 0R resistor to disconnect the internal antenna, and added a 0R resistor to backfeed power from the Avalon USB connector, and added the antenna, and replaced the dead internal unit, and closed it all up.

Does the blue light stay on with your TP-Link?  If you push the reset button while it is starting up, does the blue LED flash about twice/second?
Are you trying to connect via the LAN jack?  I think the WiFi has to be configured.

Hi

There are 2 more options under Cgminer Configuration.  you CAN NOT left them blank:
   Before Batch3 Machine: Target Temperature to 50℃ and Overheat Cut Off Temperature to 70℃

Hi

This is a late firmware release message , as you may know there is a new case design in batch3 machines. new case design come with new temperature sensor, this improvement make the temperature more close to the real chip temperature.

This new machine have to use this new firmware 20130723, please read the ChangeLog below for more information
  https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon#20130723

This release works just fine on old type. if you are in summer, I would advise setup:
  Target Temperature to 50℃ and Overheat Cut Off Temperature to 70℃ (this is my configure)

Also we have more overclock options in this release. just pay more attention on heatsink and PSU when you want do static overclock.

BTW:
  Some people report that some fpga controller not working. you may want read this: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon#Issues
  the QFN re-work is not easy, you have to find the professional people doing this. (the ft232 have to clean before soldering again)

Again, please donate to cgminer developers.

My units have been delivered to Bangkok. Signed by some CHATEE. I too live in Eastern Europe (Serbia). I called DHL to ask if someone can change the delivery address, and they said it's impossible, unless the one who sends it changes it. It looks like a scam to me, or I got the wrong tracking number. I never shared my tracking number with anybody.

I opened ticket #1263. Can someone from team AVALON take a look at this?

Thanks.

woohoo. Just got two avalons and they are working! That was Feb18 (evening) order.

However I see some problems with one of them.

- avalon1 had firmware 20130419 when it arrived, but soon after I saw some problems I reflashed to 20130607
- avalon2 has firmware 20130607

avalon1 has problems. Sometimes the orange light is on - I suppose that's overheating? But that is rather not possible, because they are both 1 meter away, in front of, an air conditioner. Sometimes avalon1 stops responding - I cannot ping it. I am not sure if it is restarting automatically. I have a web-controlled power outlet, so I can do remote restarts. But still I would prefer to fix the problem.

any hints?

btw: Which thread was for this kind of questions?

EDIT: what means the column labelled "NMW" in Cgminer Status / Avalon?
And what mean columns labelled "HW", "Utility" and "WU" in Cgminer Status / Summary ? - are "HW" a hardware errors? Looks like I have plenty of them...

got 6 track numbers

Thanks for help. it now remains to get them

looking into it.

There is great usefulness in pointing out trolls like you, because as others have pointed out, you have been exposed as someone who simply tries to boost his post count with false news releases and annoying trolls like these:  

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=248625.100 - spams board with "RESERVED" to try to boost post count and credibility, all the while making false scammy announcement.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=238391.msg2526149#msg2526149 - the time when you tried to bet Yifu, the owner of Bitsyncom, that he was going to do a batch 4 because you saw a silly dropdown menu on the support site (and were wrong).


As I said, doucher, I call a spade a spade.  And anytime I see you trying to suck people into another investment scam I will point out your gambling and scam announcements so nobody will trust their money to you.  Others who value their money find that useful, even though you don't.  And now, I will be the bigger man and walk away from you, troll.

According to http://www.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php it says "received order message today"

I am guessing he got his tracking info or something similar.

To be honest, the tracking on the website seems nonsensical to me. The times of checkins at different locations (in the past) keep changing. I found phoning them to be much more helpful in figuring out what was going on.

Tracking now works, and DHL told me on the phone that it should be with me on Friday.
