OK, I am in Beijing right now trying to talk my brother in Santa Fe through setting up a bitchy Jupiter that worked when it arrived, and then lost one hashing board after updating to 0.9.7. What success have people have, if any, bringing a dead board back to life? The web interface shows the 3 working boards at 45C and the dead one at 20-25C. Did 0.9.7 lower the amperage so that a slightly flaky board might not come alive due to a lack of power? Kinda like when you can't jump start your car in the cold winter months because the thin, cheap ass jumper cables won't carry enough amps to crank over the engine?

Dealing with being in the Beijing time zone, and having to communicate with both the Santa Fe Mountain time zone and CEST Stockholm time means I am almost up 24 hours a day trying to sort this out, and I wanted to jump off the Great Wall during our visit their today. I'm so frustrated. I just spent $7000 on plug-n-play device that doesn't share and play well with other children. I already have an autistic 8 year old son that does that, if I wanted another one, I'd go fuck my wife. Instead I feel like I just got fucked by some dude in Stockholm.

Can someone give me the Cliff's notes on CGMiner 3.6.6? How difficult is it to install over putty? I understand my web interface will probably go to shit, but I don't care. I want my 550GHs machine, not this gimpy three board machine barely cranking at 385Ghs. Does 3.6.6 increase amperage so that maybe weak/high resistance connections will make have enough power to come alive? Is that why the cores on 3.6.6 are running at 70C instead of 45C like mine are now?

Orsoc promised a 0.9.8 today, which I suspect will include some of CKolivas' magic, but if that doesn't do anything, is there a community opinion that 3.6.6 might Frankenstein the bad board?

I have missed over 150 pages of forum posts this week, and trying to read them all over this crappy 64kb 3g wifi dongle thing they use here in the Beijing countryside is gonna make me nuckin futs.

Thanks for any advice, links or condolences ahead of time. This community rocks. You would think that if one guy figured out how to fix everything, he'd keep it to himself to keep that advantage against the rest of us struggling, but people here feel like we're all on the same boat and want to share the information so that we can all succeed. That's why I love you guys (and maybe some girls too!).

It's noon in Santa Fe, and 2 am here in Beijing and I just got off the phone with Santa Fe, after spending an hour reading the riot act to some guy at Orsoc. KNC took the phone off the hook, apparently. Skype just keeps repeating that it's busy.

There is a one year warranty on the miners, we should all take advantage of that and insist that if they can't solve the problems with v1, all pre order customers should get a free trade-in on v2 (if they make it that far).

Ok, it's now 2:30 AM and I am starting to get wobbly. Night all.
