Help with MiniDOGE Startup!

Just got my MiniDOGE from Goldshell. Plugged it in and straight onto the network. It was up and hashing but then after 30 minutes it shutoff and now the the CPB0 on Goldshell’s config page shows “Failed to startup”. Miner has a solid red light and blinking blue light on top. Then on the bottom at the PSU connection it has a solid red light.

I tried restarting multiple times and upgraded the firmware to version 2.2.1 and still having issues. All connections are properly connected.

This sounds like a hardware issue. Any suggestions?

Try factory reset usually does the trick otherwise looks like damaged hash boards

Also did you configure them to your network trough its wi-fi

I’m having the same exact issue as the OP, but I decided to take things a step further and got a replacement control board to see if it was a simple fix. Unfortunately, that did not work and I still get the same message.

That leaves two other major areas, the Hash Board (as pointed out by @SinghisKing ) and fans themselves.

The Hash Board would make the most sense as the fans are still engaged and reading correctly (you can see this is also the case in the OP’s initial post).

So… with all of that, anyone have any ideas on how to fix this that doesn’t involve sending it back to HK?

And for clarification, much like the OP, my unit initially worked perfectly (for roughly a month) before this happened.

Thanks,

Factory rest did nothing.

For the WiFI, connection I tried without having to connect an ethernet cable. I got stuck trying to connect via WiFi through the Goldshell config page.

After finding my WiFi network and entering the PW(all correct) and pressing OK, nothing happened. No connection to WiFi thereafter. Am I missing something?

Update*

I got the miner connected to WiFi through the network cable for a second then went to disconnect the network cable and go back to https://find.goldshell.com/ and there was no new IP address. Then I went back to the Goldshell config page and the WiFi connection was gone.

Sounds like this unit also has a defected WiFi…
