Hi everyone.

First off, thank you all for your hard work on this project. I was trying to flash this custom AxeOS firmware onto the LV08 and have been having trouble. I have tried with both Adafruit ESPTool website and with bitaxetool via Python to flash the new firmware. I am running a Windows computer using a CP2104 serial converter USB 2.0 to TTL UART 6PIN module serial converter board module. From what I can tell it is flashing the firmware onto the ESP32 because it passes the hash check at the end and then asks me to reset the device. I have attempted to use esp-miner-factory-lv08-v2.6.0-1.0.3.bin ; esp-miner-factory-lv08-v2.8.1-1.5.0.bin ; esp-miner-factory-lv08-v2.9.0b1-1.5.0.bin ; lv08-factory-firmware-1.0.0.bin and none of them get the device to work properly. The miner itself runs the fans at full speed when I power it up and the screen never displays any information. I have also tried to flash the config-lv08.cvs file at the same time as the main firmware (again with both methods of flashing) and this does not make a difference. Here is an image of what I believe is a successful firmware flash via bitaxetool: https://ibb.co/j96rgw45 Even when trying to go back to the stock Lucky Miner firmware I cannot get my device to work at all. I do not see the miner creating a Wifi network for me to connect to either which I figured is not a reassuring sign. I do not see any obvious signs of physical damage that I have caused while attempting this. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to fix this or at least get back to the stock firmware?

Thanks in advance!

Did you remove or press on the heat sink? From experience, this may damage the components below, leading to the situation you describe!
This situation usually occurs near SMD components under small heat sinks, please check carefully!

Thank you for the response. I did not remove the heat sink but it is certainly possible that I accidentally pressed on the small and/or large heat sink during the process. That is a very good suggestion as to what might be going on. I will try to remove the small heat sink carefully and reapply thermal paste to see if that fixes the problem. At this point have nothing to lose I suppose but my assumption is if I carefully reinstall the smaller heat sink without a lot of force and it still does not behave correctly I may have broken the miner.
