I have two LTC miners, a week or so ago I noticed that the power port on one of them was fried yet the miner was still running.
When I unplugged it I noticed the connectors were destroyed on both the LTC and the FutureBit power supply that was running the miner.
I don't understand why it was still running with this damage, but it was so I think the miner can be saved. Does anyone have any suggestions on how/where to get it repaired.

Re: Official FutureBit Apollo BTC Software/Image and Support thread
Can anyone recommend a good PSU to use to run 2 LTC and 2 BTC miners? Right now I'm using the Futurebit power supplies and one blew up on me so I'm looking to replace and consolidate.
I'm running 3 BTC hash boards on balanced mode on a be quiet! Dark Power 12 750W, in single rail mode. I mainly selected on modularity and number of cables. It had enough cables to power the 3 boards, so with one extra cable I could add one more hash board, it's not close to max power.Perfect, exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you!

sigh....What are the model numbers or better yet, how much power does each one need? We're not psychic and there are many different miners that all use different amounts of power...
Given that this is a FutureBit thread, and I said the models LTC and BTC, I thought it was self explanatory what miners I'm using. Given that the FutureBit power supplies are 200watts, I'm looking at an 800-1000 watt replacement.

I've been using Dell 03MJJP + a power supply adapter a guy makes on eBay. I'm running a full package + 2 standard units at around 370W on Eco with absolutely no issues. It does get a bit loud if you overclock to turbo+ it but still relatively quiet.

How long did you use the futurebit power supply for and how was the damage? I was planning on using my extra ones with some GekkoScience stuff.
It's from a batch 2 ltc unit, I think it's 2 years old or so. It looks like it had some kind of surge. The wires are toasted and the connectors on the power supply and miner are both destroyed.
Thanks for the recommend on the Dell power supply. I tried a server one from HP, but it was just too loud for my environment.

Another question about the nodes and how other systems connect to them.
I didn't open port 9333, instead I enabled upnp on my firewall.
When I first fired up the node, the 8 connected clients all appeared to be coming in over 9333. The connection looks like '85.25.134.54:9333 /LitecoinCore:0.17.1/'
The two additional connections appear to be using a different port: '24.50.217.117:53895 - /bitcore:1.1.0-exodus2/' this looks like port 53895 to me,
and this one: '188.131.162.86:47106 - /btc-seeder:0.0001/' looks like port 47106.
Is this correct? Should I be worried about the connections not on 9333?

I have two Apollo's and I've upgraded both of them to the latest update with one running a full node. It's only been up for a short time and it's showing 9 connections so it looks like everything is working correctly (I also noticed the node count for futurebit went up by one, so I'm hoping that's me!!! 
)
My question is, can I run another node on my other Apollo? Would it work since they're both behind the same firewall? Can you have multiple nodes behind a single firewall without having multiple public IP addresses?

Does running a full node affect the units hash rate?
Also, I have 2 Apollo's. If I decide to go the full node route, should I put a full node on both units?

I updated one of my machines to full node and didn't notice any change in hashrate.
Good to know, thanks for the info!
