OK back... Well it is not that much problem only of power but internet working at that time on cell phone... It is hard to mine without that... ISP couldn't even give me a estimate at the moment when I will get internet back. So mobile network is overloaded...

Anyway I hope all this get fixed soon...

About the fix I got some PMs. It is replacing 4 capacitors and reprogramming VRM...

Hello Lucko

Have any news about for us ?

water in the distance is not a lake... All the snow and ice that fall over last days malted and there was also a lot of rain... Floods... I live at this location now for 3 years and we never had them till now... But we had 2 in last 2 mouths... We have 2 roads. One closed by all the trees the were broken by ice ran and one that was open officially 3 days ago(it was posible to drive on it 4 days before that but sometime you had to wait for firefighters to stop removing trees and clear the road) just to be closed back 2 days ago by water... I'm starting to fell like I'm in 3th world country... 60 hours without electricity and still not stable road close all the time unstable signal on mobile internet only on mobile...

Hi,

where can I find the firmwares & flash-tool - any idea? I look around everywhere... 3 boards make some problems (SICK) and I want to test around if another firmware can fix it.

Thanks!

- Hope everything is OK at you Lucko... was it snowing strong again?

I have 2 of Lucko's boards. One of them runs better with the 1.1v limiting fw, while the other works best with the "standard" fw.

Thanks I found it later - it`s located in the 2nd thread of the Mr. Teal Chillie post.

Lucko any updates about the last missing 6 boards of my order?

I tested if my car can get over one of the lakes and I got stuck there... And got 500€ mechanic bill. I'm not ready to risk it again... All the wood that has broken off is stuck in rivers and all melted snow and rain combines into making a nice lake... I will see if TNT will be able to get hire today. I have it ready but just not been able to send it...

I have one board what stoped working - in Windows it`s just named "unknown device" & not loading the correct drivers (so I can`t flash it too).

I too asked Mr. Teal: https://asktom.cf/index.php?topic=304250.msg5476664#msg5476664

So if that f****** chip  Wink is dead - woukd it possible to replace or repair this one?

... thanks for a quick update & hope everything get better in Slovenia.

It is getting batter. We didn't have strong rain for a week now... I think we will get "connected to continent" today...

Yes I looked. It sounds like common BFL not just Chili problem. FTDI chip... You might just need to reprogram it. See if you can detect it:

FT_PROG utility: http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities/FT_Prog_v2.8.2.0.zip

if so this is a template

Thanks Lucko - no chance to get it back. Too the FT-Prog will not detect it... seems the chip is somehow gone. Do you think this is repairable by soldering a new chip (and what is such piece costing)?

I am a complete noob on the hardware-side....  Wink

Talking from memory but I think it is about 10$ or something like that... And you need hot air and steady hand to replace it...

For german user, I will sell Chilly's from Lucko next time at ebay.de.

They have installed a fixed firmware which pre-heat the VRM's slowly so the heat up problem is very seldom now only if my internet connection drops more than a few minutes.
No hairdryer heat up is needed for them. So they run stable after flashing the work around firmware.

Check ebay by using search word Chilly :-)

Lucko, I hope it's ok for you. If not delete this post simply  Roll Eyes

Cheers...

I'm OK with that...

Now I have boards made but there is again a problem with them. Since we skipped test to get them done ASAP(it would take at lest one week more) it looks like one of the components is incorrect. Still didn't find what that components is...

Cheers
