Miner operation-related issues

Includes commonly encountered issues that users may experience, along with troubleshooting tips.

Check whether the ambient temperature is too high (above 35℃).
Check whether the air inlet and outlet of the fans are blocked (for example, the air inlet and outlet are facing the wall, and there are too many attachments such as dust and catkins).
Restart at least 10 minutes after the high-temperature protection, and observe whether the temperature of the miner is stable after running.

  • Check whether the Ethernet port is plugged and whether the Ethernet status light is on or check the WIFI  has been successfully connected.
  • Ensure that your miner and your device(phone/computer) are connected to the same network and frequency band.
  • Make sure that the miner network setting DHCP is turned on. If you do not confirm, press the "Reset" button for about 10 seconds to restore the factory settings.

Please follow the below steps to check the miner issue:

  1. Check if your miner and your phone or computer are on the same network and frequency band.
  2. Check your network. 1) If you use an Ethernet cable, please change the cable or test that the cable is working fine. 2) We suggest changing the network or testing your network using a different device.
  3. Make sure your router won’t prohibit new IP addresses.
  4. Make sure there is no antivirus software blocking your visit to findmygoldshellminer.
  5. Perform a factory reset: press the reset button for about 10 seconds. (During "reset", the lights near the IP button will flash together.)

Symptom 1: After the software progress bar completes the upgrade and the miner restarts, but the miner remains in the original version.

Solution: Continue the upgrade and observe if it can be upgraded successfully. If it continues to fail, please contact us.

Symptom 2: The miner restarts during the upgrade process, causing the upgrade to fail, and the miner becomes unresponsive and "bricked".

Solution: Please contact us.

  • Use Benchmark to test the miner.
  • Check if the User name is valid (Please refer to dxpool mining tutorial for reference);
  • Try another mining pool.

If the issue still persists after following the above steps, please contact us.

  • Restart the miner.
  • Make sure there is no other things blocking the air outlet and inlet.
  • Make sure the environment is cool, dry and ventilated.
  • If you have more than one miner, you can put this miner in a detached room if available.
  • Check if fans are properly installed and ensure that they are installed in the correct orientation.

If the issue still persists after following the above steps, please contact us.
