Hey everyone, I've been running three Compac F miners nonstop for like a year using the GekkoScience SUB hub. A couple of days ago, they just up and stopped working. Not really sure if it’s a hardware thing or a software glitch, but I’m kinda leaning towards hardware since the hub's got some red lights blinking. I've tried rebooting both the miners and the software, but nothing seems to work. Any thoughts on what might be happening? Hoping the hub hasn’t bit the dust since it’s only a year old. Thanks https://ibb.co/vQ0cKwb https://ibb.co/XLzwCDq

Try each Compac F on a different hub first to rule them out of the fault list. Connect them one at a time to your host PC and use a lower clock setting when connecting direct to a PC just to verify their functionality. Once you've confirmed your host PC can get them to hash, then you'll know they're OK. With the hub, if you have other USB peripherals see if they can connect to it and work reliably, use a peripheral that draws power from the hub to be sure that its passing power OK. Something like a USB HDD would be a good test. My best guess is something has failed on the hub, but it'll be a process of elmination. Good luck.
